You are in a war. Now you may not sense that war.
But when u do sense it, or when God does reveal some opposition in the spirit realm... what do do.... how do you handle it..... ?
U see, we can't flip out in the flesh and call it spiritual, they are not going to want any of that.... whether they are lost or just not currently living an obedient life.....
u love on them , That is how Our Lord and Savior Christ did it....
and be a peacemaker and let God open up opportunities to speak the WORD.... just in the conversation, you don't have to do it in a preachy type of way.... just share with them the TRUTH... IN LOVE.... : )
Romans 12:21 "Do not be conquered by evil, but conquer evil by good."
Jesus faced an awful lot of that kind of suffering. He seemed to be like a magnet that drew evil to Himself. And the reason why was because His live was so exemplary.
He was perfect. He was the light of the world. He was the One whose light shown so brilliantly, so beautifully, so strikingly that it exposed the lives of others all around Him. And it showed so clearly by contrast what their lives were like. And when a person lives like Christ, he will bring upon himself what Christ brought upon Himself.
When he lives like Christ, men will say as they did about Christ, "I don't like that person. His life stands out as a contrast to mine.
And I don't like that contrast. It shows me up to be unfavorable."
And that's why men tried to put out the light. That's why darkness tried to put out the light, but it could not because light always is more powerful than darkness.
So this is evil, then, that comes upon you in this world that you have nothing to do with. It's evil and problems, difficulty, attacks, slanders, persecution, and ostracism that come upon you because you're a Christian living as you ought in a sinful world.
How do you handle that evil?
ALSO.... Zechariah 4:6 Then he said to me, “This is what the LORD says to Zerubbabel: It is not by force nor by strength, but by my Spirit, says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies.
