Praying For The Opposition
December 11, 2010
When I was a freshman in Bible college, I began to be bolder about speaking up for the Lord. Not surprisingly, my new habit created friction with some. Attending a social event with my former high school friends bore this out. One young woman to whom I had witnessed earlier laughed at my concern about where she would spend eternity. Ed, a friend who knew of my faith, said jokingly, Three cheers for the old rugged cross! I felt put down and rejected.
But later that evening I was filled with an unexplainable love. Recalling our Lords command to Love your enemies . . . and pray for those who . . . persecute you (Matt. 5:44), I prayed for Ed who had mocked the cross of Christ. With my eyes filled with tears, I asked the Lord to save him.
About a year later, I got a letter from Ed saying he wanted to get together. When we finally met, he shared how he had wept over his own sinfulness and had invited Jesus Christ to be his Savior and Lord. Later, to my surprise I heard that Ed had become a missionary to Brazil. The lesson I learned from that experience is that prayer is the best response to spiritual opposition. What critic of your faith might need your prayers today?
Lord, help us not respond in kind
To those who hate and turn from You;
Instead, help us to love and pray
That someday theyll accept whats true. Sper
People may mock our message
but they are helpless against our prayers.
Read: John 19:1-5
Love your enemies . . . and pray for those who . . . persecute you.
Matthew 5:44

__________________________________________________________
Last evening while attending a Sunday School class party (about 24 of us), the subjects of dreams came up and whether we received prophetic dreams ... it was suggested or recalled, previously a speaker had been at the church a few years ago and He said, (Satan sends out his demons at 3:00 am. so if you wake up at 3:00 am to pray for whoever is on your mind or in the dream, and if one feels fearful to call on the name of Jesus.
‘
This is a new subject ... I was thinking of Daniel's dream interpretations, and Joseph's dreams and interpretation of others dreams, and several others,
Anyway we discussed this a bit and there were a couple of individual examples given. Very interesting.
This is an area we may be missing out on noticing our dreams and allowing that God may be sending us the dreams.
