LOVE
I want to try to minister love to break down
barriers. This is a new area for me and I ask God to
help me. The ones that hurt us the most are the ones
we love the most. Love breaks down walls between
people. Love has been flowing in this camp meeting.
It may be the most
powerful force of God. Love can be used as a weapon
against evil. Demons can not comprehend love; they
hate each other and Satan.
I have often
wondered why men can not show love for their wives in
church but they can easily hug the other women. The
women can also easily hug the other men rather than
their husbands. It is not sissy to show love for your
wife.
Jesus was not a
sissy. A man who truly follows God rather than the
world is courageous.
I ask Earline to
stand beside me so that we can minister together and
show love for each other. I ask the families to sit
together so that they can show love for each other and
be ministered together as a group.
PRAYER
Love your enemies. First, forgive those that
have hurt you. Bless them that curse you. Then ask God
to break the curse. Do good to them that hate you. And
ask God to bless them. Pray for them that despitefully
use you and persecute you. Pray for your enemies now
(Matt. 5:44).
God
Father, Son and Holy Spirit: Ask God for
forgiveness for holding grudges against Him and
blaming Him for tragedies in your lives. Ancestors and
Parents:
Forgive them for the
sins of the ancestors. Husbands and Wives: Husbands
ask God to forgive you for having bitterness against
your wives. Wives ask God to forgive you for not
submitting to your husbands. Children: Ask God to
forgive you for not honoring and obeying your parents.
Others: Forgive others for hurts and wrongs. Release
them from sins against us.
LIST OF ENVY
AND STRIFE DEMONS OR CHARACTERISTICS TO CAST OUT IN
THE NAME OF JESUS
This list of demons and their characteristics caused
us to have a confrontation with our pastor about
deliverance. Since we couldn't do deliverance his way,
we left the church so that we could do deliverance
God's way.
