*When Somebody Does You WrongKenneth Copeland

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and
over
all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

- Luke 10:19

Somebody's done you wrong! Sooner or later it happens to all of us.
Somewhere along the way, we all get hurt or cheated or lied to or abused.

It's as predictable as it is painful. Yet when it happens most of us find
ourselves strangely unprepared. In our outrage, we often cry out to God
against the one who wronged us. We ask for justice, or even vengeance, and
end up making things tougher on everyone involved--including ourselves.

If that's been true of you, it's time you found out how you can put the
power of God to work for you the next time somebody does you wrong.

Step one: Identify the enemy! Right here's where the majority of us make
our biggest blunder. We mistakenly identify our enemy as the person who
hurts us. Don't waste your energy ranting and raving or plotting and
scheming against people who cause you pain. They're simply under the
devil's influence. Aim your spiritual ammunition at the right target. It's
the devil who's behind it all. Go after him!

Step two: Fire! Once you've pointed your spiritual guns in the right
direction, fire! Hit the devil fast and furiously with the Word of God.
Use
the Name of Jesus and the power that's been given you as a believer and
bind the devil from doing you any further harm in that area. Then move on
to the next and most important part of this spiritual battle.

Step three: Pray the prayer of intercession. In Matthew 5:44-45, Jesus
gives us these instructions: "Love your enemies, bless them that curse
you,
do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use
you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which
is
in heaven."

Crying out for the vengeance of God to strike like a lightning bolt when
somebody does us wrong isn't acting like our Father. Remember God has
great, great mercy. Not just for me and you, but for everyone!

The devil will probably think twice before he bothers you again. Next
time
someone causes you pain, put the power of God to work for you. Identify
the
real enemy. Hit him hard with the authority you've been given as a
believer. Then pray the prayer of intercession.
