Practice These Verses

[Cody]

Matthew 5:44
"But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;" KJV

Christians lets love our enemies. Lets love catholics, mormons, jews, muslims, atheists, agnostics and etc. We need to start showing love to the people that need Christ in their life. Don't ignore the lost, be a light to the lost.

Lets do good to the people that hate us. If anyone hates you, love them. Do you have a grudge against someone? If you do I pray that you forgive them and love them as God has commanded. How can we win souls to the Lord and exhort people, if we're holding grudges against people?


James 4:7
"Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." KJV

Do you realize that sin cannot over power you when you call on God? When you call on God, He will win your battles. Our God is a strong God and we need to start looking to Him and stop leaving Him on the side lines. When you call on God, the devil will run like a sissy. The next time you face temptation or any kind of sin, just call on God. He wants you to call on Him and remember our God is a powerful God.

I guess this post was kind of short, but I pray that someone will read it and it will help them. God gave us the Word to live by and it's our job to read it and live it.

God Bless you all

If you had a very powerful weapon with an unlimited supply of ammunition & you were headed into battle, would you leave the weapon behind?

Not if you have any sense.

So why do so many who call themselves Christians?

Our God is the biggest, most reliable, best weapon out there for spiritual warfare.
So however you fight, make SURE that He is taken with you.
He will be a major possitive influence in the battles you fight.

[Michael19]

Sometimes it is very hard to love our enemies in times when they make us so mad that we cannot see straight. However, God tells us to love and not to hate. So maybe by showing them love and not hate we may be a light unto them and help to change their life in some way. If someone does end up in a situation such as this just pray unto the saviour for guidance.

If we can resist temptation and not fall into the arms of evil/the devil, God shall bless us. However, worldly temptations can be extremely hard to resist sometimes. When times get tough or you are confused about what to do just call upon the Lord and he will deliver us from evil.

In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me. (Psalms 58:11 KJV)

I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place. (Psalms 118:5 KJV)

I agree 100% !

But I'm also learning that sometimes it is hard to ask GOD to have mercy on those that constantly hurt & abuse us.

But I try.

It's like apart of me doesn't want to.

I'm scared that if I ask GOD to have mercy on them, they will continue on hurting me.

So I ask GOD to forgive me for being self-righteous.

We should all get on catholic, mormon, jew, muslim, atheist, agnostic, etc..chats and spread the true gospel of Christ. Educate yourselves about these beliefs, pray and lets save people from corrupt beliefs.

We need to keep in mind that love starts with a decision. It is not purely emotion. When I decide to love someone who has done me harm, I often find that I must repeat that decision over and over until the seed of love that God has planted in my heart for that person begins to take root and grow.

And even then, I must decide to continue to nurture that seed until the love emotion begins to show itself whenever I think of the person. Loving those who hate you/despitefully use you isn't easy. Emotional healing usually doesn't come overnight. But it does come if we persist in the decision to love.

Its good to see you've been listening, about the more important issuses.

As Christians we spend more time fighting each other, debating each other, and the enemy uses it as a way to distract us from whats going on outside.

Thank you Ed, for your understanding.

You, Cody & rizen1 are so right, we must be a shining light for others to be able to see.
