Praying for justice 4: Pray against the spiritual powers of wickedness
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. (Eph 6:13)
Injustice is not just political, but a manifestation of spiritual forces of darkness. There is a link between spiritual realities and socio-political structures of injustice and wickedness. We must therefore engage in spiritual warfare to see situations change.
· Pray that God will uproot and demolish forces of injustice, corruption, and oppression.
· Pray that he raises up righteous men and women to speak and act for justice.
This week, I am posting short meditations and prayers around the theme of justice for the developing world. God calls his people to stand up and to respond to injustice. During this week, I am focusing on issues of justice for the developing world as part of the Make Poverty History campaign.
Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and the needy.(Proverbs 31: 8)
