Now is the time to lean into your faith and seek comfort and support through the written word of God. —
It’s not the time to condemn your neighbor and enemies or speak curses over those you disagree with.
Scripture:
Romans 12:21 (NIV)
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
America should understand by now that Jesus is not on the side of those who curse others dishonestly but on the side of those who live upright and speak from a heart that unites rather than divides.
More importantly, we remember our words go to the grave with us. —we will be judged for them.
Matthew 12:36-37 (NIV)
But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. For by your words, you will be acquitted, and by your words, you will be condemned.”
While there is a fundamental divide that God is orchestrating to reveal genuine Christ followers (Sheep) from the religious-hearted (Goats), it’s important to remember that Jesus wants all to be saved, repent, and come home with Him.
Let’s all come together through the teachings of the Gospel and the Living God to be blessed with scriptural sincerity and not be misled into thinking that being sarcastic and mean-spirited is acceptable to God.
People guided by the Holy Spirit can be confident (BOLD) in our words and deeds but should also maintain innocence and purity in our intentions. —It’s a healthy balance.
1 John 4:4 (NIV)
You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
The Holy Spirit is said to avoid making fun of others or enjoying their misfortunes and delusions, even when we see unfair things happening. It’s not wise or kind to mock or curse struggling people.
Therefore, let’s stay obedient and focus on seeking justice without using hurtful actions or words. —The truth of Christ’s presence is powerful on His own, even though it takes longer to be revealed.
Folks, it’s easy to lie for immediate gratification. It takes patience and faith to wait for what is just and righteous to be seen for what it is.
Remember, don’t let others’ bad behavior make us act pridefully or use condemning words or actions. We can speak the truth without getting nasty because the Holy Spirit is not vicious but firm.
Nonetheless, If we make mistakes, we should repent to God, learn from them, and avoid repeating them.
Do not give the devil a footing, leaving him a chance to influence lousy behavior that is difficult to stop. —
Instead, we must fight back in prayer and doing good for others while speaking the Gospel truth and trusting God and the fruits of His Holy Spirit to lead others honorably.
Remember to stay neutral and keep your emotions in check by praying and reading your Bible for spiritual help when you feel restless, angry, or helpless.
Just remember we are NOT helpless. —Our hope and trust is in Jesus Christ.
We may live In the natural world, but what we see is a reflection of spiritual realities.
What do I mean?
There is a deeper, unseen realm that influences and shapes the visible world around us. The things we observe in the physical world are often connected to spiritual forces including evil principalities and angelic forces from GOD that many do not perceive.
The spirit world comes first and then manifests on earth. Which means your repentance and prayers build up godly momentum for good, while the enemy’s workers hide in secret with their ritual worship of false gods building evil momentum—We must work smarter not harder for good.
Although evil may appear to prevail, God ultimately triumphs in the end. Our Father in Heaven will never allow evil to have the final say on matters.
Believe!!
Psalm 34:15 (NIV)
The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are attentive to their cry.
