SCRIPTURE READING: MARK 3: 1-6

FOCUS: “And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him.” (Mark 3: 2)

MEMORY VERSE: “2. Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. 3. But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.” (Psalm 3: 2-3)

Our Focal Scripture speaks of how the men watched Jesus to see if He would heal the man with a withered hand, so that they could accuse Him. They were not even trying to get at the man with a withered hand; they were trying to get at the person who wanted to help him. Their attack was against the person who dared to help the man with a withered hand. They came against his helper. They came against his open door.

Friend, every conspiracy against your helpers, I command it to scatter by fire. Every plot against your helpers, I command it to come to nothing. Every plot to stop your helpers in their tracks, I command it to end by fire. Every plot of the enemy to hinder or attack your helpers so they won’t be able to help you, I command that plot to scatter by fire. Every trap the enemy is setting for your helpers, they will not fall into it at all.

The men in our Focal Scripture had no issues with the man that was to be helped, but they had issues with Jesus who was to bring the help. If they succeeded in getting at Jesus, maybe they would have stopped the miracle that was to come the way of the man with the withered hand. Be intentional to cover your helpers, clients, supporters, and everyone you need, with prayers. Any attack against them might as well affect you.

Raise a prayer cover over everyone that is important to you. Raise a prayer cover over everything that is important to you. Raise a prayer cover for your family members; raise a prayer cover for your business; raise a prayer cover for your finances; raise a prayer cover for your spouse; raise a prayer cover for the works of your hands; raise a prayer cover over the major, profitable relationships that matter to you.

This is that season when you must not take the attacks against your helpers lightly. If they are positioned to help you, then cover them with prayers. Don’t let the enemy attack people and systems that matter to you.
