Keep Your Friends Close And Your Enemies Closer?


Keep your friends close and your enemies closer was a term used by people considered to be street people, a saying I could not come to wrap my mind around. If you’re my enemy I didn’t want to have anything to do with you and I definitely don’t want you close to me or even closer then a friend as a matter of fact I don’t want to have anything to do with you!

According to Noah Webster 1828 Edition an enemy is a foe; an adversary. A private enemy is one who hates another and wishes him injury, or attempts to do him injury to gratify his own malice or ill will. A public enemy or foe, is one who belongs to a nation or party, at war with another.

Why would anybody in their right mind want to have anything to do with someone who privately hates them or wishes to do them injury to gratify his own malice? Never made sense to me.

But, when I became a worshiper, I read that we are to love our enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you. Matt. 5:44 but it still doesn’t say anything about keeping your enemies close.

As I continued to study this new concept of how I should treat my enemies, the one who privately hates me and wishes to do injury to me to gratify their own malice, I found that when I submit to His will concerning this matter there is a reward for those that bless those that hate you, for what reward is there if you only love those that love you back?

Let me say here that we shouldn’t be obedient only in expectation of receiving a reward, we should be obedient because it’s the right thing to do.

All of those things I can do afar, my enemy doesn’t have to be a part of my life for me to pray for them, I can bless them by speaking a blessing over their lives, I don’t need them in my space!

But, God spoke to me and showed me in His word why I shouldn’t run my enemies off!  He said in Psalms 23:5 that He preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies! That means that my enemies has to be close to me to witness the spread God has prepared for me!

When God prepares a table for you, He uses the best, He takes His time to make sure everything is perfect, the best settings, everything is in it’s proper place and the timing is right!

So,while your enemy is privately hating you at the same time God is privately preparing to bless you openly in the presence of your enemies!  Now I understand the concept “Keep Your Friends Close And Your Enemies Closer”

Don’t run your enemies off, you need them in your presence because God is preparing a table before you in the presence of your enemies!

Closing the Door To Satan & Breaking Curses.


We open the door to Satan in our lives in many ways. Sometimes and most times curses are passed down from generation to generation. That is why you can see a family and just about every member of that family is an alcoholic. Or a family that has a history of divorce and so on and so on.

Then there are things that we have done ourselves to open the door to Satan. Horror films can open the door to Satan, certain music we listen to can open doors to the kingdom of darkness. But, the good news is those doors can be shut, by confession and renunciations. I take my daughter and myself and we periodically close doors that might have been open through generational curses and doors we might have opened ourselves. Once these doors have been shut you have to be diligent in keeping them shut. Satan will come immediately to try to get those entryways back into your life open again. Don’t Let Him In!  He is very subtle and crafty who can appear as an Angel of light, but the Bible tells us to try every spirit by the Spirit.

How do you try the spirit? Matthews 7:15 says;

“Beware of false prophets which come to you in sheeps clothing but inwardly they are ravening wolves. You shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth fortgood fruit. But a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them.”

An orange tree cannot bear apples, a wolf cannot give birth to sheep, so it is with the spirit, an evil spirit cannot produce good fruit, eventually the wolf will have to take his mask off and be unveiled. Sometimes evil thoughts pop in our heads and we accept this thought as our own thoughts because it is something that is internal we believe it must have come from me because it is happening on the inside of me. That is not always the case.

II Corinthians 10:4-5 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal (cannot be touched by man’s hands) but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds or(mindsets);casting down imaginations (reasonings, purpose or thought still in the mind, considerations and intentions which are hostile to the gospel), and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ Jesus.

Apostle Paul is saying every evil thought that pops up in your head you can take that thought and bring it into captivity and make it come under subjection to Jesus by saying I cast down every thought that is not the will of God for my life and I bring it into captivity If the thought (seed) is evil and you continue to water that seed by meditating over and over again in your mind that seed will not produce good fruit because every kind produces after it’s kind.

Every door that can be opened can be closed it was for this reason Jesus was manifested that He might destroy the works of the Devil, and He has given you that same power and authority!

Pray the prayer below by faith and the authority of Jesus invested in you, cast out the spirit of fear and walk in your victory!

Satan, I rebuke you in the name of Jesus Christ, and I am closing doors which I or my ancestors may have opened to you and your demons. I renounce Satan and all his demons, I declare them to be my enemies and I want them out of my life completely. In the name of the Lord Jesus I now claim deliverance from any and all evil spirits which may be around or in me. Once and for all I close the door in my life to all occult practices and command all connected and related spirits to leave me now, all doors the enemy had in my life I plead the precious Blood of Jesus upon these doors and gateways of the devil.

In the Name of Jesus I break any and all curses placed against me by witchcraft and command the curses and spirits from them to return to the senders, and I bind to them by the Blood of Jesus (Ps 109). In the Name of Jesus Christ and by His Blood I break any curses of rejection from the womb or illegitimacy which may be in my family, even back to ten generations on both sides of my family’s bloods lines. In the Name of Jesus Christ, I renounce, break and loose myself from all demonic subjection, from any ungodly soul ties to my mother, father, grandparents or any other person, living or dead, who have ever dominated or controlled, in any way which is contrary to the will of God and His Word. I thank you Lord for setting me free. I also repent and ask You to forgive me if I have ever dominated or controlled some other person in the wrong way.

After praying this prayer and renouncing Satan and the curses, praise God for your liberty, plead the Blood over yourself , family children daily, the Blood of Jesus washes away any evidence of sin and it draws you closer to God! I praise God for your liberty.
