The enemy knows that isolated believers are far more vulnerable than connected ones, and so he works overtime to sow division, offense, and distance in our most important relationships. These questions ask you to look honestly at the relational battlegrounds in your life.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Priscilla argues that the enemy specifically targets our closest relationships — marriages, friendships, church communities — because unity and love between believers is one of the most powerful testimonies to the watching world. Which of your relationships has been under the most noticeable spiritual attack recently?
2.She identifies offense as one of the enemy's favorite entry points into relationships — a small wound that, left untreated, grows into bitterness and distance. Where is there an unaddressed offense in one of your important relationships right now?
3.Priscilla calls us to pray *for* the people we are in conflict with — not as a technique to get them to change, but as a genuine act of love that changes us first. Have you ever experienced that? What happened when you prayed seriously for someone you were struggling to like?
a.What makes it hard to pray for someone who has hurt you?
b.What would you need to believe about God for that kind of prayer to be possible?
