The Father’s Heart – LOVE AT ITS BEST: When You Do LOVE And PRAY For Your ENEMY And All Those That DESPISES And REVILE You!
How thankful I am to Father God by the Holy Spirit on how He taught me personally if the attitude and consciousness to maintain, and with such revelation [insights and foresights] on how to live on such level of His pedestal of grace as Scripturally set – that is, to LOVE and PRAY for any considered to be enemies and cohorts about me – and the unprecedented level of peace I have enjoyed internally within me without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation irrespective, and the overwhelming, indescribable and unimaginable state of peaceful me to be above only always in situations – am thankful and grateful Lord.
You see, the scripture says when a man’s way PLEASE the Lord, the Lord makes His enemies to be at PEACE with such a person – meaning, God will ensure that all things good and bad works out for one’s good by using same enemy to work it. So, I do strive [endeavour] to ALWAYS please God as by the scriptures instead of fighting the enemy by myself [Matthew 5:43-48; Romans 12:19-21; Proverbs 25:21-22]. Knowing that Christ Jesus have already fought the battles and won for me triumphantly and victoriously. So I stand on His done work to please God rather than taking the matter’s into my hands. Meaning, committing every case into God’s hands by the scriptures in order to enjoy the available peace effortlessly in His grace.
“When a man’s ways PLEASE the Lord, He maketh even his ENEMIES to be at PEACE with him” Proverbs 16:7.
“And we know that ALL THINGS work together for GOOD to them that LOVE God, to them who are the CALLED according to his PURPOSE” Romans 8:28.
“For even hereunto were ye CALLED: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an EXAMPLE, that ye should FOLLOW his steps: 22 who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: 23 who, when he was reviled, REVILED not again; when he suffered, he THREATENED not; but COMMITTED himself to him that JUDGETH RIGHTEOUSLY” 1 Peter 2:21-23.
And I found out that to PLEASE God is by Faith. For without FAITH, it’s impossible to PLEASE God and to receive His BLESSEDNESS in the grace. For Faith is acting according to God’s word as believed in context to any subjects in the scriptures as written:
“But without FAITH it is impossible to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that diligently SEEK him” Hebrews 11:6.
And I have also come to know that Faith does not only comes by hearing the word of God and acting upon it accordingly, but can only WORKS, meaning be operative for results through the exercise of LOVE. Faith is energised, expressed and activated to work ONLY by LOVE.
“For [if we are] in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but only FAITH activated and expressed and WORKING through LOVE” Galatians 5:6/Amplified.
It thus means to have the Father’s heart best in us, is by loving and praying for those considered to be enemy and cohorts of the devil in human flesh – meaning they can be conquered when we PLEASE God by FAITH through LOVE on the WORD as Scripturally enjoined without reservation in the grace.
I PRAY God gives you understanding in Christ Jesus as He taught me in His grace in this CONTEXT of dealing with considered enemies and cohorts.
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall LOVE your neighbor and HATE your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, BLESS those who CURSE you, DO GOOD to those who HATE you, and PRAY for those who SPITEFULLY use you and PERSECUTE you, 45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if you love those who LOVE you, what reward have you? Do not even the TAX COLLECTORS do the same? 47 And if you GREET your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the TAX COLLECTORS do so? 48 Therefore you shall be PERFECT, just as your Father in heaven is perfect” Matthew 5:43-48.
“Dearly beloved, AVENGE NOT yourselves, but rather give PLACE UNTO WRATH: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if thine ENEMY hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good” Romans 12:19-21.
“If thine ENEMY be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink: 22 for thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee” Proverbs 25:21-22.
“When a man’s ways PLEASE the Lord, he maketh even his ENEMIES to be at PEACE with him” Proverbs 16:7.
“But without FAITH it is impossible to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:6.
“So then FAITH cometh by HEARING, and HEARING by the WORD of God” Romans 10:17.
“For this is the LOVE of God, that we KEEP his commandments: and his commandments are not GRIEVOUS [BURDENSOME, IRKSOME, TASKMASTER]. 4 For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMETH the world: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMETH the world, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH the world, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5.
