In my fellowship time with the Holy Spirit this morning He showed me a different way of looking at scripture which is not obvious but makes me realize just how little we know though the Lord has taught me so much and how much more we/I need to learn and even understand of the vastness of God’s might and ultimate power and ability to do.
I am constantly in Awe of what new things of the Truth the Holy Spirit would guide me into each day to expand my ability to experience all the Father has for me which transcends all hnowledge and understanding.
Well in Proverbs:17.13 it reads these words: The one who returns evil for good can expect to be treated the same way for the rest of his life.That is simple to understand but the Holy Spirit said to me. How about the person who returns good for evil and suffers evil fruit, what is his reward? That got my attention because I had not looked at that before.
In other words, when we receive evil treatment for having been good and kind to people, what is our reward? This is because what came back was evil for our good, and was that going to be for all my life too?
The Holy Spirit pointed out to me that I must not be overcome by evil , but must overcome evil with good. He reminded me that we should always ask the opposite question when only one part is addressed by a scripture otherwise we have a skewed picture of truth and can easily be taken advantage of because of ignorance.
Jesus, He pointed out, went about doing good, healing all who were oppressed of the devil because God was with Him. Acts:10.38 but not all oppressed people were healed.
Jesus never ever responded to evil with evil and no matter what people did He never stopped doing or being good because that’s who He is and no one could change His nature or character by their actions and He never failed in anything He did in spite of peoples evil deeds towards Him.
It says of Jesus He was hated without cause. There was no reason for any person to hate Jesus because He only ever did good.
We as His disciples are anointed to do good not evil and Peoples evil actions are not to move us to act outside our nature of good to take on the nature of satan and be evil and adopt satan’s ways to respond to his evil perpetrated by men.
The Holy Spirit pointed out to me that Paul learnt that lesson and could say boldly when faced with the threat of mens evil deeds, none of these things men do move me to take wrong actions.
I am a God man and will never fall down and change that nature to submit to lies that come through mens evil actions. So my beloved Brethren let us not allow the evil of the day to rob us of the best the Lord has for us, but rather let us faithfully stick to and overcome all evil with the goodness of God in us.
We are more than the schemes of evil sent to pull us away from the Lord’s hand and protection. Remember being good always keeps you connected to God and His protection over you.
You cannot be separated from the love of God that never fails, unless you yield to evil to fight evil. So muster your strength through the grace this word makes available to you and let the goodness of God so flow out of you that it baffles your enemies and lifts you to higher dimensions of glory in the Spirit.
Have a wonderful day doing good by remaining anointed by destroying yokes and removing burdens off those oppressed of the devil and advance the kingdom of Jesus in Jesus Name. Amen.
