Are you wanting greater division?

Love must be free of hypocrisy. Detest what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor, not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer, contributing to the needs of the saints, practicing hospitality.

Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation. Never repay evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of all people. If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all people. Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written: “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. “But if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.  Romans 12:9-21

There is SO much in these few verses! Our current culture has turned very ugly. The ‘forces’ are attempting to divide all of us as much as possible. So much is always centered on ‘hating’ the other side or current sitting president. We have to make everything a ‘political football’ and use any means possible to gain back the ‘advantage’. There are always the forces that want to make everything about melanin and outward appearance, where as we know God looks on the heart of a person and not what we physically look like. The enemies of God want His “family” as divided as possible. The forces of evil want ANYTHING but… the real family of God to flourish. That’s why we see the promotion of any other religion over Christianity again and again. The real ‘gospel’ shown and lived by real ‘living epistles’ is SO dangerous to the enemies of God. The enemy works very hard to make the “Church” as ineffective as possible. It promotes anything to keep people from becoming spiritually mature. (NOTE: Large churches do not equal effective or spiritually mature people.)

If a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. Mark 3:25

Our media (mainstream / internet / social) is now controlled to amplify this division. Formulas and coding as now designed to push division in anyway possible. The forces of evil no longer want us to think critically but just ‘hate’ each other. They want us to only see one another in the simplest, and smallest / narrowest category possible – like skin color, or political party. Division IS now the main strategy of this country. Where have you fallen into this division trap? Who really is our ‘enemy’? Allow me to remind you again.

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12

If they are NOT flesh and blood what and who actually are ‘they’? Can you identify those ‘forces’ working against your life … personally? Do you know and can identify the spiritual warfare directly pointed at you? Have you fallen into one the snares / lies they have set up to trap you? Is the Holy Spirit working to get you to ‘see’ those lies you currently agree with?

Please wake up and see the Truth He wants to show you.

Father … we humbly submit our lives to You. Jesus help us to see the Truth clearly. Holy Spirit reveal in us ANY and every lie that we currently agree with, that we might cast it before the Throne of Christ!
