REVENGE

It is natural in the flesh that when somebody does a serious wrong to you, it raises a desire to “get back at them.” It is also called a “pay back” or revenge. Has that ever happened to you?

What should be our response? 1 Thessalonians 5:15 addresses that question. “See that none [of you] render evil for evil unto any [person]. But ever [always] follow that [response] which is good [and kind], both among yourselves and to all men.”

This forbids us to act in revenge or malice toward those who have hurt us, no matter how deep the hurt or wrongdoing.

The NIV renders the verse this way: “Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is good for each other and for everyone else.”

The foremost response must be to forgive them. That may be difficult initially, but with a little time you can do it. Ask God to help you to forgive. It is good if you can do it right away.

Do not talk bad about them. Do not take any negative action toward them. By treating them in a kind and forgiving manner, you will be following the scripture in Proverbs 25:22 which says in the NLT, “You will heap burning coals of shame on their heads, and the LORD will reward you.”

I am not a man given to crying at all. However, there have been at least two times in my life that people hurt me so deeply that I would lay in bed at night and bawl like a baby. As humans, we may have to “let it out” like that, or in some other manner. Yet I took it “without getting back” at them. I forgave. Over time, I was able to truly let it go.

Vengeance is addressed in Romans 12:19 (NLT) “Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the scriptures say, ‘I will take revenge. I will pay them back.’ Says the Lord.” That comes from Deuteronomy 32:35 where God said to Moses [KJV] “To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence…”  God is your avenger. It is His job, not yours.

As Christians, our response must demonstrate the loving character of Christ within us.

BATTERY LIFE

It seems like everything needs batteries. Toys, clocks, electronic devices, cell phones, remote controls, and dozens of other things. I often thought I could have been rich if I had invented a battery and marketed it.

You will notice if you look at a battery that there is a plus + and a minus – on each battery. The plus is the “positive” end, and the minus is the “negative” end. When you place a battery into the device you must put it in correctly to make the device work. You can’t put two negative ends together because they will not create the power needed to run the device. But a positive touching a negative will bring the power needed!

Life is like batteries. If you put two positives together, they may not bring power, but they will definitely stay positive. But, if you put two negatives together, the negativity will increase. There won’t be any power either, but the negative force can destroy a person.

Why am I saying this? Because at times I have been negative and must be reminded that it will not bring the power I need in my life. What about you? Are you struggling with negativity? The only way to change that is for us to change. We must go to Philippians and do what it says. Chapter 4:8 says, “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of a good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”

If you change what you think about, you will change yourself. It is like charging a battery when we think about the good instead of the evil. I will take my own advice. What about you?

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION

Just as a child has growing pains as they grow in the natural, you can expect to have spiritual growing pains in your Christian walk. Some things that you used to do just won't fit in the new place God is bringing you. You have to put away some things that worked before, but not now. This process is often painful especially if it involves people, but God knows exactly who will hold you back or help you to grow. Don't resist this process, or your life will have setbacks instead of growth. Trust that God knows what is best for you. Your best days are just ahead!

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION

11-17-2022

God's holy hammer of truth and judgment is sure to come upon America, its leaders, its ministers; And we His children who know Him and who bears His Name! (Jer. 23:29 & 2 Chron. 7:14) I ask you; Would it not be best… IF we’d all simply run to The Rock, Christ Jesus and fall on our knees before Him in fasting, and prayers of repentance before… That ROCK falls on us in judgement?

  Do you Know? HCC

                   Do you know how to love? 

                         Do you put forth the effort, 

                         To enlighten someone’s life? 

                         Love is not just what you feel, but what you show. 

                         A hug, a handshake, maybe some help. 

                         So many things that you can do. 

                         Just show your love, don’t keep it inside of you. 

                         Life’s too short, not to show your love. 

                         People are searching for it. 

                         What would God tell you to do? 

                          I think I know what he would say. 

                         “That’s what life is, it’s all about love!”
