I have been so prayerful over the attacks on God's people recently and I just feel led to share some of the scripture that I've been in lately. I've had so many emotions about these attacks. The fleshly side of me just really wants to attack right back, however, as a christian, that is not what we are called to do. So, after much praying, God has shown me what we are instucted to do and I hope that more of you will join me in this:Colossians 3:12-17 As Gods chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing with gratitude in your hearts to God. Whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father thru him.
In Ephesians 6:11-17 It tells us this: Put on the full armor of God so that we can take our stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against people but against the spiritual forces of evil, the powers of darkness. If we have the belt of TRUTH & RIGHTOUSNESS & THE GOSPEL OF PEACE (that all comes from having accepted Christ) them we must KEEP OUR FAITH IN HIM, for He has given us our SALVATION and we must take up our SWORD OF HIS SPIRIT(which is the WORD He has given to us thru the Bible) and stand firm against the darkness of evil. WE MUST BE THE LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS--BY HIS WORD, NOT OUR OWN RAMBLINGS.
My prayer is that each of us will just really hit our knees and cry out to God for the attacks on Gods people in our community to stop. Instead of fighting back with our own words, let whatever is said or done come from the word of God. May God Bless.
