Pinkpebbles, Thanks was not enough! Honestly I never considered witnessing spiritual warfare.
I also agree that bad character corrupts good habits and that you must examine all friendships particularly close ones very critically but with that said I didn't drop all my unbelieving friends one I turned back to God I let them know I wasn't comfortable speaking about certain things and going certain place and simultaneously asked God to remove anyone from my life who He doesn't want in my life and He did there are a few that seemingly dropped off the face of the earth I say all this to say be careful cutting ppl off because you might be the only light in their lives.
Back to prayer, how does everyone feel about saying prayers written by someone else for a particular situation I'm not sure if anyone has heard of the book Prayer Rain, but it's basically a book of prayers used during deliverance. I'm somewhat torn because 1. I believe prayer is in essence a conversation and it seems odd the say things someone else wrote, but 2. I've seen many ppl delivered while these prayers were being recited, so idk. When Jesus taught his disciples to pray he said you should pray like this " our Father who art in heaven..." and my understanding was that it was a template to follow not necessarily something for everyone to recite when it's prayer time. So, if Jesus didn't tell us this what you are to repeat, is it okay to repeat someone else prayer? Also interestingly enough Jesus did deliverance differently He simply commanded the demons out, no violent long prayers...
