Marks of the True Christian
9 Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. 10 Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. 11 Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit,[g] serve the Lord. 12 Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. 13 Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality.
14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. 16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly.[h] Never be wise in your own sight. 17 Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. 18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. 19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it[i] to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” 20 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.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Psalm 80ESV
14 Turn again, O God of hosts! Look down from heaven, and see; have regard for this vine,
15 the stock that your right hand planted, and for the son whom you made strong for yourself.
16 They have burned it with fire; they have cut it down; may they perish at the rebuke of your face!
17 But let your hand be on the man of your right hand, the son of man whom you have made strong for yourself!
18 Then we shall not turn back from you; give us life, and we will call upon your name!
19 Restore us, O Lord God of hosts! Let your face shine, that we may be saved!
ObservationGOD is speaking to me in dealing with wicked people who are connected to me both in Romans and in Psalm 80, and I can see that there is a balance between these two Scriptures that GOD is giving me today. Romans 12 says I should not hate, I should not repay evil for what evil had been done, but I should "Take thought for what is right and gracious and proper in the sight of everyone." I wonder how GOD wants me to do it... Somehow when I think about everything I am stired up emotionally to be angry but I have to be level headed and compile everything that I ought to say...
ApplicationI will give GOD time to continue to speak to me, I will not meet them right away. I will wait on HIM until my peace and confidence is whole and I have my Shalom and I will pray that my emotions and my mind will be under the complete submission of the LORSHIP of JESUS. I will try to rehearse this with Sir Eleasar what I am about to speak to them this week and the evidences that I will get from Grace's Account. I will think this through and pray this through before I deal with the wickedness in people's hearts.
PrayersDear AVI,HOLY is YOUR Name O GOD! HOLY is YOUR Name! O GREAT I AM, O HOLY ONE of Israel! Have mercy on me O GOD for the thing that YOU have called me to do is taking up all of my mental and emotional energy. I don't know how to deal with it yet, I am still collecting all the data and information and I am still deciding how to handle this. Please GOD help me, I don't even want to use my brains to formulate what I have to say because I can say the wrong things improperly, I want YOU to take over me that day and just give me an idea of what YOU want to say to them and tell them. I pray O GOD that YOU help me live a holy life before YOU and I pray for the rest of those that YOU have called me to pray: Stephen and Benita, Janine Rose and Jenifer, Carlo and Sandro, Rosielyn and Jonathan to be delivered and saved from the captivity of evil. I pray that YOU will lead me to the right path that YOU always make me equipped to serve YOU with passion, loving YOU in Spirit and in Truth. O GOD may YOU avenge me and the Ordoyo Family, the brokers that have been cheated by Lyn, I pray O GOD that YOU bring justice to everything wrong that has been done and I want YOU to satisfy my hunger and thirst for justice and righteousness. I pray O GOD that YOUR Kingdom come and YOUR will be done, here on earth as it is in Heaven! Give us today our daily bread and forgive all our wrongs as we forgive those that have wronged us. Do not lead us to tests but deliver us from all kinds of evil and deliver us from our own flesh! For YOU deserve all our worship, our praises and thanksgiving, adoration and love and devotion.
O GOD Almighty! Have YOUR Way in us! In the Name of YESHUA Amen!
