God commands us to love everyone, by His Spirit ! It's a new command giving to us by God. Love, those who persecute you, those who turn their backs on you, those who insults you or dislike you, love them which spitefully use you, and love your enemies. Understand, never repay anyone back with evil for evil, just watch and pray for them. Sometimes we have to see somethings, turn away look to heaven pray and be quiet. This is a hard lesson, but you see vengeance is the Lord's ! For it's in Romans 12:16-21, Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but
condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight
of all men. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably
with all men. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give
place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay,
saith the Lord. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst,
give him drink:
for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. This isn't easy, the verse says, if possible ! That means, with the help of the Holy Spirit. There is a time for everything under the sun, also a time to keep silent. We have to choose our battles, we
need discernment for Spiritual Warfare.We are to follow men only as
they follow Christ. We have to hold our peace and let the Lord fight the
battles. Hold your peace in love and trust God's Word. You can be a
foolish person or a wise person walking by faith. For it's in Proverbs
17:27-28, He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of
understanding is of an excellent spirit. Even a fool, when he holdeth
his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a
man of understanding. We need the power of the Holy Spirit to keep us from falling on the battlefield. Michael, the archangel, in Jude 1, likely the most powerful of all of God’s angels, did not rebuke Satan in his own power. Read Jude 1:9, Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed
about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing
accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. It's the hand of God that will repay, for His Children. We need the full armor of God on everyday. We need to grow into the likeness of Jesus Christ on our daily journey. As we learn more of the Word, we'll grow to think as God thinks, we learn to see things from his perspective. Heavenly Father, let us your beloved children learn your ways to love people. Let us be very slow to speak in this season and eager to listen. For it is written in Ephesians 5:15-17, See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. Let us be silent and wait for God's direction and timing. I have been in a quiet place uninterrupted fellowship with God today. Asking, what, why, and how ? The answer is Trust Him ! Thank you Lord for your living word. Amen !
