EVIL FOR EVIL

Romans 12:17-21 Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

When people wrong us the first thought is retaliation; this is why we have to pray before we act.  Because in the flesh we are incapable of handling this situation; but if we are in the Spirit, we gain strength to give it to God.   We cannot repay evil for evil; avenging a person death by shooting the wrong person, makes no sense.  We cannot allow the hate of a few; destroy our countries, “where are all the believers.”  We cannot unite the countries by colors, but we can join them in Spirits, true believers stand together. Believers stand for love, peace, and justice for all people; because we are all the same, and should all be treated the same.  If believers, really believed, what the Word says; our life and our world would be at peace.

Lord, we thank You for life, we are grateful to be in our right mind, we are grateful to You for forbearance, and we thank You for health.  Father, we thank You, for peace, we thank You for the hedge of protection You have around our children, families, friends and us.   But most of all Father, we thank You, for grace, thank You for grace LORD; and FOR saving us.  Father, strengthen us when we’re weak; and help keep us humble when we are strong.  Lord, as we walk through the valley of death; we will fear no evil, for You are with us.  Father, You have provided our needs; so right now Lord we are praying for what we want, PEACE.  PEACE IN OUR HEARTS THAT COMES FROM STUDYING YOUR WORD; PEACE in our land that comes from Your love, and our faith.  Lord, give us all the fruit of the Spirit so that we can become Your disciples.    Thank You for the courage to speak the truth of Your Word, because the truth of the Word is what sets us free.  Lord, we know everything in Your Word has come to pass; Your blessings as will as Your wrath.  Lord, we disobey because we have no fear; but when fear comes we come back to You.  Lord, help us not be stiff-necked people that know not what we do.  Please, Lord, keep us in the Word; so we will not backslide into temptation, and forgive us when we complain.  Father, search our hearts and remove all that is not of You; and remove anyone or anything that hinders our blessings.  Lord, give us decrement when we bear others burdens; and keep us out of  Your way, by ordering our steps.  Father, we thank You for Your wisdom and knowledge You proved us daily; as we study Your Word, in Jesus name, Amen
