Those Who Wish You Evil
Anchor Scripture
Psalm 40:14 (KJV)
Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.
"Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish."
- Psalm 73:7 (KJV)
Ministry is another place where I see evil being wished on people. There are many people who are waiting for evil to happen to you just so they can be proven right. There are those who have woken up with evil dreams that emanate from their thoughts, and they wished those evil dreams upon you.
Just because you don’t love a man or believe in his ministry does not mean you should wish him evil. There are many that will rejoice if something bad happens to you, and then they will say, Did I not say it? I have always known the ministry is not of God; I have always said the man of God is evil and not of God.
This is one of the reasons we pray. We pray and give thanks so that the desires and wishes of evil men will not come to pass and that the Lord will scatter their agenda.
Prayer
Loving Father, I thank you, and I pray that you deliver me from the hands of evil men and deliver me from their wish. Amen.

Those Who Believe In You
It is only in ministry that a man can be following or serving you for years and yet never believe in you. This is heavy and painful. I always encourage anyone who will go into ministry to brace up because
Those Who Support You
I know someone who turned his back on me and the ministry simply because he couldn't get the help or support he wanted at that time from me, and I was glad it happened because it helped me to know who he really was.
Looking Unto Jesus
The believer in Christ is surrounded. You may ask, but by whom? According to our theme scripture, we are surrounded by a cloud of great witnesses.
