I'm trying to be a better Christian and have been thinking a lot about Jesus' exhorting "praying for your enemies."
Now normally thats tough enough and ive been doing it, but our enemies now are quite literally satanists and possibly demon-possessed. I come away feeling dumb praying for Fauci and the like who would just as soon kill my sons and I as look at us, provided the former option increases their ROI or their prestige. Likewise Gates, Schwab, the whole litany of evil people playing God right now with no repercussions.
Any advice? Like i said its hard and im doing it but some backup or hearing from others might help.
I agree. It's very difficult. Do you pray for satan? Similar concept. Believers have come to an understanding that they are not perfect, that they are sinners and that they need a saviour. Would God save us anyway? Even if we didn't come to that realization? I struggle with understanding the 7 x 70 aspect of forgiveness. Are we forgiving people who have recognized their error and are asking forgiveness, or are we forgiving people who never apologized and would still kill us as soon as look at us? All I can say is that only God knows if these people will ever become believers, but I do think He honors our willingness to forgive - or at least attempt to forgive. Because that is showing obedience to Him.
