We shame the devil by speaking the truth.
We shame him when we tell our story (w/o worry of shame) & tell how God intervened.
We shame him when we speak in faith and don't contradict God like the devil did/does.
Practice shaming the devil in the name of Jesus,
and you'll see you have the boldness of a lion!
| | | Be bold…shame him!!! 9/29/2011 http://piecethescripts.blogspot.com I win because of Jesus!!! The devil doesn't!!! James 2:19 (NLT) You say you have faith, for you believe that there is one God. Good for you! Even the demons believe this, and they tremble in terror. Revelation 12:11 (NLT) And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony. And they did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die. Romans 8:1 (NLT) So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:13 (NLT) For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. Proverbs 28:1 (NLT) The wicked run away when no one is chasing them, but the godly are as bold as lions. |

James 5:16 (New American Standard Bible)
Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.
1 Peter 4:8 (New International Version)
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
Romans 13:8 (New Living Translation)
Owe nothing to anyone--except to your obligation to love one another. If you love your neighbor, you will fulfill the requirements of God's law.

One of the things I'm noticing is the fact that there are so many opportunities to pray for other people. There was a time when I would pray about something and forget what it was (or for whom) I prayed for. But as of lately, God has been teaching me how to be sensitive to others; one of the ways God is teaching me is by showing me how to love others through my prayers.
Praying for others, whether or not they asked me to do so, is a way I show my love for others and for God. When I pray, I am showing God that I care about what He cares about, which is people and their wellbeing. I am also helping other people receive what it is they need.
I have a responsibility (as do all other Christians) to love others as Christ would. Jesus prayed for others, that they would be healed, that they would have peace, that they would have strength and self-control in times of temptation. Likewise, I have to pray for others, and do so with a heart that expects change. By faith I pray that things will change, and by faith I thank God for the new things is doing in His people's lives.
Matthew 22:36-40 (KJV)
Master, which [is] the great commandment in the law?
Jesus said unto him, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment."
"The second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hand all the law and the prophets."

Haters may perpetually hate on you, but that shouldn't dictate your actions and limit the love you show to them. God has shown us love so that we will know what it's like to have something we don't deserve but can enjoy freely.
Show mercy. Show grace. Practice patience. You may not like what they do & say, but love on your haters :)
