Proverbs 22:2
This verse is very simple to understand. Essentially, everyone is created by God. But it is the application of this verse that is pivotal. The great divide between the have’s and have not’s is certainly not because God favors one person over the other. We should not discriminate or look down on one another because of a persons financial status. We are all made by God, in His image.
What we do with our gifts draws a line in the sand! See? I did not say an actual line! Reach accross the way!
When we pray on behalf of someone else we are standing in the gap before that person and God. You are also engaging in spiritual warfare. First, if Jesus is your personal savior, then through His blood the enemy has been defeated (Revelation 12:11) and as His heir you have claim to this promise and power.
