And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the
people.Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of
the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and of Asia,
disputing with Stephen. And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by
which he spake. Then they suborned men, which said, we have heard him speak
blasphemous words against Moses, and against God. And they stirred up the people,
and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and caught him, and brought him
to the council.

Introduction

As explained in the preceding prayer, Stephen stood out amongst his peers resulting in
unnecessary attention being drawn to him from certain people who were persecuting the
church. Unfortunately, when you stand out, you draw all kinds of attention, both of good and
evil.This is the downside of standing out.Stephen had drawn the attention of certain people in the synagogue who were harboring plans to eliminate him. It is important to highlight that the identity of these people was not revealed, hence they can be classified as the unseen or faceless enemy.Another point to highlight is that these people emerged from the synagogue,
meaning that they could also be referred to as the enemy within. We all go to the place of
worship to receive encouragement, blessings and miracles most generally with our guards
down, but we also need to realize that the devil goes to church! This is why we have to be
watchful at all times even when we are in church. Unknown to Stephen, certain people were planning to kill him and in a bid to carry out their plans, they stirred up the people against him.
You may be working in an organization and unknown to you there is an enemy within who has moved or stirred some key people within the organization against you in order to pull you
down or set you up. I declare, God shall open your eyes so that you may recognize them in
Jesus Name.Are you running a ministry and unknown to you the devil has planted his agents
in your office with the sole purpose of setting a trap for you? I declare God will open your eyes
to recognize the enemy within your organization, business and ministry, and neutralize every
plot against you in Jesus Name.

Prayer

Father, I ask that YOU open my eyes to recognize the enemy within my organization that is
plotting my downfall in Jesus name. Father, I ask that YOU open my eyes to recognize
satanic agents that have been planted in my church, business and on my job, employed by
the devil to set traps for me; I declare they shall all be confounded in Jesus name. I declare
every plot set against me is neutralized in Jesus name. I declare every evil set against me
reverses upon the head of those planning the evil against me in Jesus name.
