Turn evil counsel to foolishness!

 “And one told David, saying Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O Jehovah, I pray You, turn the advice of Ahithophel to foolishness.” 2Samuel 15:31.

Everyone needs the favor of man to be who God wants him to be (Luke 2:52). An evil counselor is someone who counsels people against you. Some of them are like Ahitophel, who, when he gives counsel, the counsel is as if God has spoken. Some may be like Haman, who had a position of authority with the king. In any case, all of them can and must be conquered. David conquered Ahitophel by asking God to turn his advice into foolishness. His counsel was subsequently rejected, and he ended up hanging himself. Haman was conquered by God’s favor over Esther and the Jews. Hear the word of the Lord: A favor is coming upon you that will frustrate all evil counselors in Jesus’ name.

“Plead my cause, O Lord, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.” Psalms 35:1KJV

“And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose, and gat him home to his house, to his city, and put his household in order, and hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father.” 2Samuel 17:23KJV

Are you asking for a favor, seeking a job, promotion, contract, financial assistance, or something good, and you sense someone may be offering counsel against you? Then do these:

1. Have faith in God that He will give you the favor you need. “When a man's ways please God, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.” Prov 16:7. “But without faith, it is impossible to please Him.” Hebrews 11:6

2. Ask God to turn every counsel against you to foolishness in Jesus’ name.

It is your season, in Jesus’ name.

Prayer for today: Oh God, let all counsel against me be turned to foolishness and rejected. in Jesus name. in Jesus’ name.

Salvation: Lord Jesus, I believe in the forgiveness of sin and in the redemption from the power of darkness through your blood. I confess you as my Savior and Lord.  I invite you into my life to save my soul. Holy Spirit, come into my heart and make me what you want me to be. Thank you Lord for saving me in Jesus name.
