I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope. For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore (Psalms 16).
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive (James 1).
That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind; and that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness (Ephesians 4).
Those who are bornagain struggle daily to love their enemies; those who abuse us and denigrate and subjugate us for the purpose to control us--and then want us to call them "friends". Nevertheless, the bible instructs us to love our enemies and to pray for them. Not to be a friend to them--but to owe no man anything but to love them. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer, perhaps that is why the enemy wants us--whom they work to denigrate and subjugate--to say that we are their friend--when in actuality we are their enemy. Perhaps that is why the enemy wants you to know that they are banging, slamming doors, revving engines, honking horns, and torturing you with electromagnetic weapons--they want you to think that they consider you a friend--you think? Or do they want you to know that you are their enemy! This is why the bible tells us to pray for our enemies: because they really want us to be their friend. What?
Child of God, make a declaration:
"We are not your friend, we are not on your team; those of you who work to destroy people for sport, fun, and games. Those of you who work iniquity against your fellow man and think that you are doing a good thing. Those who call wrong right and right wrong; we are not your friend."

Exercise your authority to tread on serpents and to cast out demons. You are the head and not the tail. Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. Exercise your holy boldness.
