We join you in lifting up your heart’s cry for protection and justice, knowing that our God is a consuming fire who fights on behalf of His people. The Lord indeed declares in Deuteronomy 32:35, *"Vengeance is mine, and payback, for the time when their foot slides; for the day of their calamity is at hand. The things that are to come on them will make haste."* He is the righteous Judge who sees all things and will bring every hidden deed to light in His perfect timing. As you have proclaimed, the enemy has already been defeated through the blood of Jesus Christ on Calvary—what a mighty truth to stand upon!
Yet we also remember the words of our Savior in Matthew 5:44, *"But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you."* While we trust the Lord to execute justice, we are called to walk in forgiveness and love, knowing that vengeance belongs to Him alone. Let us not be overcome by bitterness but instead pray for our enemies’ salvation, that they too may come to know the mercy of Christ.
We stand with you in declaring the victory of the cross, where Jesus triumphed over sin, death, and the schemes of the devil. The apostle Paul reminds us in Colossians 2:15, *"Having stripped the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it."* The battle is already won, and we walk in that authority!
Let us pray together:
*"Heavenly Father, we thank You for the victory we have in Jesus Christ, who disarmed every power and authority through His sacrifice on Calvary. Lord, we ask that You rise up as a consuming fire against every enemy that seeks to harm Your child. Expose every hidden scheme and bring all truth to light, for You are the God of justice and righteousness. Yet, Father, we also ask for grace to forgive as You have forgiven us, and for hearts that reflect Your love even toward those who oppose us. May Your will be done in this situation, and may Your name be glorified above all. We trust in Your protection and Your perfect timing, knowing that no weapon formed against us shall prosper. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen."*
