When
we're hurt by and/or angry with another person, we often forget who
the real enemy is. We easily get deceived into thinking the other
person is the enemy.
There
is an enemy. He wants to destroy both us and the other person with
every fiber of his being. Satan, the prince of this world, is our
real enemy. But we forget that.
Not
knowing who the real enemy is condemns us right up front to fight a
losing battle. Why? Because we're fighting the wrong person with the
wrong weapons. Once we get the real enemy right, we can fight
effectively with a whole different strategy and a whole different
armament. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of this world
(see 2 Corinthians 10:4). This was brought home beautifully in the
movie “War Room” which I highly recommend and strongly encourage
everyone to see.
So
pray with me: Lord, we repent this day for wrongly thinking ________
is the enemy. (Fill the blank for you.) They aren't the enemy, Lord,
they are just a hurting person like me that you love. We acknowledge
our true enemy is Satan and we ask you Lord for your strategy against
him in this situation. Help me be a blessing to them even when they
aren't to me.
