I just had a personal prayer breakthrough, praying towards the root of improper concepts that are putting people to sleep to a degree that I probably never have before.
There are people who pray against (James-3 curse) people to not investigate various concepts and/or even events to see what is really going on — to keep people in the dark: the situation we’re really in with God for not caring about what we’ve done and supported overseas in these wars is just one example. I was watching a documentary on Abu Ghraib when I got the idea to pray more thoroughly about this than ever before. And that led to prayers about other “Schultz – ‘I know nothing; I see nothing; I hear nothing'” blockages.
I can post truth every day, but if people feel compelled to look the other way because others have ‘prayed’ that they would close their hearts….
There are bullies and scoffers who want people to be in the dark, for whatever reason about many things. We don’t have to know who the truth stoppers are, but we can pray for whomever they are to set many free!

Why of course the people don’t want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people don’t want war: neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy,
or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing
the country to danger. It works the same in any country. –Hermann Goering
Power always has to be kept in check; power exercised in secret, especially under the cloak of national security, is doubly dangerous.~William Proxmire, US senator, reformer (1915-2005)
If we in our turn plan on militarism, vengeance, and retaliation, if we steel our spirits against the
suffering which such pursuits always cause to the innocent, in short, if we turn to the tools of death, then whatever hollow triumph we may trumpet, it will have been Death alone which has won. –G. Simon Harak, Jesuit Priest interviewed 9/21 in NY
Weapons are the tools of violence;
all decent men detest them.
Weapons are the tools of fear;
a decent man will avoid them
except in the direst necessity
and, if compelled, will use them
only with the utmost restraint.
Peace is his highest value.
If the peace has been shattered,
how can he be content?
His enemies are not demons,
but human beings like himself.
He doesn’t wish them personal harm.
Nor does he rejoice in victory.
How could he rejoice in victory
and delight in the slaughter of men?
He enters a battle gravely,
with sorrow and with great compassion,
as if he were attending a funeral.”
–Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
