Yearlong Discipleship, Episode 13: Love Your Enemies, Part 2: Pray for those who persecute you

In this episode Dan and Andy discuss Matthew 5:44, in part 2 of: Love your enemies. This episode focuses on praying for those who persecute us. When we follow Jesus, this will happen. Its a biblical truth that Jesus talks about. We will have opposition. But Jesus doesn't ask us to fight this opposition with anger, frustration, crafty words, etc., it doesn't mean we won't feel these things as arrows are thrown our way, but God calls us to pray...and prayer changes our hearts...it changes our perspective...and it allows us to forgive and to love as Jesus does, through His power...and gives God the opportunity to move and takes it out of our hands. This is not an easy ask, but it's a freeing one. To pray and let God shape and move in the ways He needs to, rather than taking vengeance into our own hands. It's different than how the world says to handle it...and again, when we pray for people we don't want to, God changes us and moves in ways we often cannot see. Check out the PDF in our here!
