Our Enemies We Should Love And Pray For Them
Our Enemies are to be prayed for as well as our friends, in fact, we should pray more for our enemies for they need to see our Lord and Savior and desire Him in their Hearts…

Matthew 5:43-48 (NIV) “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor[a] and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
It is easy to love ones that you care for compared to loving someone that despises you. Loving that neighbor that never as anything nice to say, in fact, always wants to argue about everything including the Bible. Want to see them change that look they have the next time they start in with let’s say “I will never vote for Trump” agree with them. You know I think maybe you are right and I am wrong. Watch them they will not know what to say or do. You have just shocked the enemy he does not know what to say.
You must be ready with a comeback, like “Let us say just for conversational purposes that I am right and you are wrong what do we do then?” Now they have to think about what you just said—think about it and try dealing with someone like that or even if you just agree and walk away that is dealing with our enemies.
