@KarlGessler If we battle flesh and blood do we allow the spirits to escape? The humans are both perpetrators and victims of sin, satan etc. Psalm 8:2 tells us why children are a threat to satan. When we intercede for children and support godly, sound children outreach we are part of God's solution. Understand that #sexual sin or #sex outside marriage is an easy way for satan to bring minors into demonic bondage or control.
Without an understanding of the big picture and how to intercept Satan's plan we will simply offer an emotional response. 1 Peter 4:7-10 we observe that soberness or self control or bàlance precedes prayer. Why? Because our prayer cannot simply be an emotional reaction but rather an intentional, precise response, aligned to God's will and timing so that we can intervene for Christ on behalf of Amerindian peoples and Hispanic migrants and their families.

In this series I explore #ethical issues in a biblical context.

In examining the world of work, what are my responsibilities as an ambassador of Christ?

In this series I explore #ethical issues in a biblical context.

Since we are being bombarded on every side at a fast pace, it is good to keep a whole scripture approach in view.

@His_story Is everything ok? Was this a general or personal prayer?

These problems may have many contributing layers but cannot be resolved without addressing the underlying root sin of #idolatry. The spiritual realm takes precedence over all other areas.

God honours the prayer of the righteous (James 5:14-18). Until the root of #idolatry is dealt with, one problem might be prayed away but another two pop up like pop corn.

Only a #relationship with the Living Christ can free a person from idolatry.

The evil fruit of #idolatry are like ripe fruit if these problems are found in your life.
If not yet present they are like green fruit.
A traumatic experience is enough to move fruit from green stage to ripe stage. Traumatic events trigger the ripening of the fruit.
Understand these problems only occur if the root of #idolatry is present in a person's life.

Some persons struggle with idolatry because of:
Family of origin
Ancestral practices
Religious beliefs/practices
Culture
Choice
Inaccurate view of self
Ingratitude (Romans 1) etc.

Matthew 7:18-20 applies here.

The root sin of #idolatry is always present if you observe these fruit.

Are you living with the consequences of #idolatry?

Consequences are not judgement/punishment (Jude 14,15).
It is still the acceptable year of the Lord (Isaiah 61:2).
Consequences are the harvest of our choices (Galatians 6:7,8; Hosea 8:7).
Negative consequences are designed by God to be corrective (Hebrews 12:5,11).
The list below is not exhaustive.

There are 3 ways to violate the 1st rule of building #GoodRelationships. Each way automatically leads to demonic bondage.
#idolatry

@farmerjohn because #idolatry makes a person blind

@tanjaostman thanks for sharing

@DevotionalTreasures amen

@auntcindyTOO unfortunately the heart of this problem lies in demonic bondage and medical/biological methods aren't the solution. Both the victim and perpetrator are victims (John 10:10). On one hand active prayer teams can protect children (male and female) from rape. Molesting someone is the easiest way to transfer demons into that person's life. The victim easily becomes promiscuous and is pushed by demons to self destruction (consider Luke 8:33). Children are a threat to Satan see Psalm 8:2. Women are also a threat to Satan (Psalm 68:11).

if interested.

The perpetrator has either been a victim of sexual crime or fed sexual appetites -deliverance is the solution if the person is committed to obeying Christ.

@Knittinggrace I use 2 Timothy 1:14 as my basis for asking the Holy Spirit to specifically guard my treasures. I no longer hope that things will be well I actively pray for it. If it could go wrong I pray against it. It is my responsibility as an heir of God to manage my affairs as an overcomer as opposed to a victim. It is my personal responsibility but due to my relationship with Christ I can engage the Holy Spirit's help. This is life in stressful times without the stress.

@KarlGessler Christ has the power to bring everything under His control (Philippians 3:21). ...the kingdom of this world has become the kingdom of our Lord and His Messiah (Revelation 11:15). You get it- I get it, praise the Lord!
Others? Until we believe God's report we won't see His arm at work (Isaiah 53:1). Until we know our God we won't be capable of great exploits (Daniel 11:32). Until we become like the children of Isaachar we won't understand the times nor know what to do (1 Chronicles 12:32).

@Asianking thank you for serving the King

@Jorge something the Lord said to me years ago is so relevant today. Only 2 inputs are needed for ministry: the Spirit of God and the Word of God

@Chidiotamiri thanks for your insights
