2TIMOTHY 2:26
And that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been
taken captive by him to do his will.
Do we walk that way, tempted to see our family members tainted with a lie?
We must refuse to see with the eyes of others.
Would it be the way Christ sees?
When others criticise us, the lesson is to endure.
HEBREWS 10:36-39
For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may
receive the promise: “for yet a little while, He who is coming will come and will not
tarry. Now the just shall live by faith; but if anyone draws back, my soul has no
pleasure in him.” But we are not of those who draw back to perdition but of those who
believe to the saving of the soul.
EZEKIEL 22:9
In you are men who slander to cause bloodshed; in you are those who eat on the
mountains; in your midst they commit lewdness.
If you are sitting here believing that these words apply to those around you think again and
examine your own heart.
Are we not to stand in the gap for those around us? Or does the Lord allow these things to
show us who we are?
What gap you may ask, the gap between hearing and believing the lie.
PSALM 139:19-24
Oh, that You would slay the wicked, O God!
Are not the wicked, the voices that put down our brothers, sisters and ourselves?
Depart from me you bloodthirsty men.
Who are these men?
For they speak against You wickedly;
Your enemies take Your name in vain.
So the voices that speak wickedly are also Gods enemies.
Do I not hate them, O Lord who hate You
Do we not hate them, or do we embrace and walk with them as they approach our mind.
And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?
I hate them with perfect hatred;
So its not others that we hate but that which contradicts Gods commandments, they are our
enemies.
