When The Enemy Comes In

When The Enemy Comes In

It is important for you to remember that the enemy uses people to raise against us, BUT we never pray against a person (this is witchcraft), we stand against the enemy (the devil and his demons).

Father, Your word says that vengeance is Yours, it is not mine. I want to repent of the anger and bitterness in my heart towards ……………….. (persons whom you are angry with), I feel betrayed and I want to lash out against them. Please forgive me for gossipping about them too. Father, I know I have to keep my side clean so that You can intervene. Holy Spirit please help me to stay clear of that which is sin and please bring peace to my soul. I choose to look to you as the Righteous Judge and I ask you to judge my enemy. I repent for taking your place as judge and I ask forgiveness, I give this judgment chair back to You in Jesus name. I stand back and I wait on You Lord. I will stand and see the deliverance of my God.

Father, according to your word I declare and decree the following over my situation and over my life.

Psalm 1:3-4 AMP I am like a tree firmly planted [and fed] by streams of water, I yield my fruit in season; my leaf does not wither; And in whatever I do, I prosper [and come to maturity] in Jesus name.

Psalm 3:7 AMP Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God! For You have struck all my enemies on the cheek; You have shattered the teeth of the wicked.

Psalm 5:5,6,8,9,10 AMP 5 The boastful and the arrogant will not stand in Your sight;You hate all who do evil. 6 You destroy those who tell lies;The Lord detests and rejects the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

8 O Lord, lead me in Your righteousness because of my enemies;Make Your way straight (direct, right) before me. 9For there is nothing trustworthy or reliable or truthful in what they say;Their heart is destruction [just a treacherous chasm, a yawning gulf of lies].Their throat is an open grave; They [glibly] flatter with their [silken] tongue. 10 Hold them guilty, O God; Let them fall by their own designs and councils! Cast them out because of the abundance of their transgressions, For they are mutinous and have rebelled against You.

I thank you Father that I can declare verse 12 over my life, which states that You will bless the righteous, with favor You will surround him as with a shield. Therefore I am surrounded with favor as with a shield in Jesus name.

Father, I declare Psalm 35 over my situation and my life;

1 Contend, O Lord, with those who contend with me; Fight against those who fight against me. 2 Take hold of shield and buckler (small shield),And stand up for my help. 3 Draw also the spear and javelin to meet those who pursue me.Say to my soul, “I am your salvation.”4 Let those be ashamed and dishonored who seek my life;Let those be turned back [in defeat] and humiliated who plot evil against me. 5 Let them be [blown away] like chaff before the wind [worthless, without substance],With the angel of the Lord driving them on. 6 Let their way be dark and slippery,With the angel of the Lord pursuing and harassing them.

7 For without cause they hid their net for me; Without cause they dug a pit [of destruction] for my life. 8 Let destruction come upon my enemy by surprise; Let the net he hid for me catch him; Into that very destruction let him fall. 9 Then my soul shall rejoice in the Lord; It shall rejoice in His salvation. 10 All my bones will say, “Lord, who is like You,Who rescues the afflicted from him who is too strong for him [to resist alone],And the afflicted and the needy from him who robs him?” 11 Malicious witnesses rise up;They ask me of things that I do not know. 12 They repay me evil for good,To the sorrow of my soul.

15 But in my stumbling they rejoiced and gathered together [against me]; The slanderers whom I did not know gathered against me;They slandered and reviled me without ceasing. 16 Like godless jesters at a feast,They gnashed at me with their teeth [in malice]. 17 Lord, how long will You look on [without action]?Rescue my life from their destructions,My only life from the young lions.

19 Do not let those who are wrongfully my enemies rejoice over me; Nor let those who hate me without cause wink their eye [maliciously]. 20 For they do not speak peace, But they devise deceitful words [half-truths and lies] against those who are quiet in the land. 21 They open their mouths wide against me; They say, “Aha, aha, our eyes have seen it!”22 You have seen this, O Lord; do not keep silent.O Lord, do not be far from me. 23 Wake Yourself up, and arise to my rightAnd to my cause, my God and my Lord.

25 Do not let them say in their heart, “Aha, that is what we wanted!”Do not let them say, “We have swallowed him up and destroyed him.”26 Let those be ashamed and humiliated together who rejoice at my distress; Let those be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves over me.27 Let them shout for joy and rejoice, who favor my vindication and want what is right for me; Let them say continually, “Let the Lord be magnified, who delights and takes pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.”

Righteous Judge, I look to you for my vindication. Father, if there is anything in me that the enemy can use against me, anything that I am not aware of, please show me so that I can repent. You have permission to intervene in my situation, in Jesus name. Amen.
