A Method for Prayer01 Matthew Henry
8. FOR THE BREAKING OF THE POWER OF ALL THE ENEMIES OF THE CHURCH, AND THE DEFEATING OF ALL THEIR DESIGNS AGAINST HER.
Let all that set themselves, and take counsel together against the Lord, and against his anointed, that would break their bands asunder and cast away their cords from them, imagine a vain thing.
Let him that sits in heaven laugh at them and have them in derision; speak unto them in your wrath and vex them in your sore displeasure. Give them, O Lord: what will you give them? give them a miscarrying womb, and dry breasts. Psalm 2:1-5. Hosea 9:14.
O our God, make them like a wheel, and as stubble before the wind; Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek your name, O
Lord, and that men may know, that you whose name is Jehovah, are the most high over all the earth. Psalm 83:13, 16, 18.
Put them in fear, O Lord, that the nations may know themselves to be but men, and wherein the proud enemies of your church deal proudly, make it to appear that you are above them. Psalm 9:20.
Let them be confounded and turned back that hate Zion and be as the grass upon the house-tops, which withers before it grows up.
Let no weapon formed against your church prosper and let every tongue that rises against it in judgment be condemned. Isaiah
