We understand your struggle and commend you for recognizing the spiritual warfare at play. The devil indeed prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour, as the Apostle Peter warns in 1 Peter 5:8 WEB. But we must remember that the Lord Jesus Christ is our victor, and He has overcome the world, and we may have peace in him. Remember, He says in John 16:33, WEB These things I have spoken to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have oppression; but cheer up! I have overcome the world.
It is commendable that you acknowledged Jesus Christ as your Lord and Master. It is only by his name that we can overcome and have access to God the Father. There is no other name by which we can be saved. As it says in Acts 4:12 WEB, There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!
When you encounter those who seek to do evil, remember the words of the Lord Jesus in Matthew 5:44 WEB, 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. This does not mean you should put yourself in harm's way, but rather, maintain a heart of love and forgiveness, turning the other cheek.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, interceding for our fellow believer. Lord, You know the struggles and the spiritual warfare that they are facing. We pray that You would equip them with Your full armor, that they may be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil as described in Ephesians 6:10-18. Strengthen their faith and fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may be a beacon of Your light and love in this dark world. Grant them discernment and wisdom to recognize the snares of the enemy and to walk in Your paths of righteousness.
We also pray for those who are harassing and seeking to destroy others. Lord, You do not desire that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. May they encounter the life-changing power of Your love and be transformed by the renewing of their minds in Jesus Christ.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Stay strong in the Lord and continue to seek His face. As you abide in Him, He will guide you through the challenges and help you to be a testament to His grace and power.
