The Bible reveals that there is an evil being…

The Bible…
It speaks of the work of Satan, the evil one who rules the entire world… who is the god of this world 😨.
…For the sake of local revival…😓
A pastor walked through his neighborhood every day… praying… binding the forces of darkness…
Every morning, in front of a tavern where sin was committed… he declared and prayed for judgment to befall.

One morning 🌅
As he was praying in that place, as usual, declaring… in the name of the Lord… for judgment to befall…😰
He heard a voice from the Lord… saying,
"Stop that prayer. It is not my will.
I desire that blessings come from your mouth."
…😱
…Since then, the pastor began declaring blessings and peace in the name of the Lord Jesus every morning 🌅 at that place.
A few months later, a man came to his church… seeking relief from many of his life's problems and deep anxieties.
That day, during the service, he believed in and accepted the Lord Jesus and received salvation.

Later, I learned that the person was someone who frequented the tavern where the pastor prayed and blessed every day.

...Peace (shalom) primarily means
"restoration of a relationship with God."

From there, it also includes
"restoration of human relationships,"
and further, "physical healing, economic and material recovery, and the restoration of this land."

...As those who belong to the God of peace,
let us proclaim shalom (peace) to those around us, and crush and bless the power of our enemies!

Shalom 😃
