CS Lewis On goodness
“There is but one good; that is God. Everything else is good when it looks to Him and bad when it turns from Him. And the higher and mightier it is in the natural order, the more demoniac it will be if it rebels. It’s not out of bad mice or bad fleas you make demons, but out of bad archangels. .” From The Great Divorce
As well, it is not out of bad mice or bad fleas that evil-minded men are made, but out of of their inner corruption, of mind, will, and conscience:
“adjective [evil and mind.] Having evil dispositions or intentions; disposed to mischief or sin; malicious; malignant; wicked. Slanderous reports are propagated by evil-minded persons. ” Noah Webster’s 1828 Dictionary of the English Language
Evil mindedness results from sin and a will turned toward evil. Thus, a worthless evil-minded man plots evil, and his slanderous speech is like a scorching fire. The evil-minded are spirits of violence who entice the innocent and lead them in ways that are not good. They wink their eyes and plan dishonest things”. Proverbs 16: 27, 29-3
As CS Lewis said, God is the ultimate source of Good, there is no other, and the further an angel–or man– chooses to walk away from Good the more evil they will become. The evil-minded man is the closest thing to a demon. He is not a demon but his evil-mindedness makes him into the closest thing to a demon, thus, demons do not need to influence, control, or possess evil-minded men for them to do evil since by their daily evil choices they have made themselves into evil-minded men and women.
Lord Jesus, today evil-minded men and women are legion throughout our government, judiciary, intelligence, media, Hollywood, education, and other institutions. They possess much power, wealth, and influence and daily they abuse it to instigate more evil and to attack everyone they hate who stands for righteousness and justice. Like demons, their tongues are sharp daggers, their cruel words are poison, they delight in the suffering of their victims. They hate life and love death. There is neither truth nor light, only darkness and lies in their hearts. They relentlessly stalk their prey and plan evil and dig pits for President Donald Trump, his administration, and all decent Americans to fall into. Lord, You are our Mighty Savior, please listen to our prayers for help. Rescue our President, his administration, and all of Your faithful children from evil minded men. Guard us from the power of cruel, wicked evil-doers and their hidden snares, pits, and plans to make us trip and fall. Please Lord, let not the evil-minded have what they want. Don’t let their wicked plans succeed, or they will become even more proud, boastful, and evil if that is possible. For too long have the wicked planned evil. Now let it come to them. Psalm 140: 1-9
O Lord, please watch over Your faithful children, our President, and his administration, and grant us Your grace that we may grow in the knowledge of Your only Son and may one day behold Him in the glory of the heavenly kingdom, full of grace and truth, in whose name we pray. Amen
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen

Most excellently said. I offer up this same prayer with you.
Jesus said, “Ask and you shall receive”. How much more powerful this is than the silly hexes cast by witches. The demons flee from this.
Thank-you for uniting in prayer. If only the church would do as well.
