Think: Before You Argue with an Unbelievers, Difficult People



Pray for them!  Some people, whether believers or unbelievers, have reprobate minds.  They are not going to believe in any being, go along with any sensible logic, or even attempt to get along with you especially if you are right about something. 

Pray that God will convict their hearts, then shake the dust from your feet and keep moving!

When Will You Face Your Foe?

Someone keeps saying some negative things about you and you keep responding with, "I don't care."  A group treats you wrongly and all you can say is, "God will deal with them."  Well, sometimes God isn't going to handle situations that he gave us the authority to handle, my friend!

What is the point in being Holy Spirit indwelled if you are not going to use Jesus name to fight a spiritual battle?  Sure, you prayed about the people and the group more than enough times.  But there is a supernatural battle that takes place when the same people keep having issue with you even when you see (with your natural eyes) that there is no reason for it. 

Supernaturally your prayers aggravated demons.  Your positive thoughts, conjured up negativity.  Your peaceful demeanor started a war.  "There she goes...being nice again.  There he is saying some crazy things yet again about his God...Here they are wanting me to come to church with them...Christians!"  the naysayers are mad.  The critic is cursing you and God's prophets are trying to help you and all you can say is, "Okay.  Don't tell me anything else."  Instead, thank the messenger of the Lord and begin to bind demons up in Jesus name--you do have the authority, don't you?  If in doubt, check the Bible out!

Declare spiritual warfare on your enemy, Saint!  Facing your foe is more than just telling someone you don't like what they are saying about you.  But standing up against your enemies is also about fighting a supernatural war where you conquer them in Jesus name!  When was the last time someone told you, "Go in there and fight!"  Most likely, they didn't.  "I will pray for you..." isn't good enough.  Ask the Lord to give you the strength, the courage, and the military might to fight your earthly as well as your supernatural enemies in Jesus name!

I Know My Enemy

It didn't take long to find out he was wrong
for me.
I could see that he didn't like me.

Eye rolls and stares, he put his fingers through his hair.
He thought he was better than me.

I had to pray to the one above
to give me strength to love, to love
my enemy.

I know my enemy,
he likes to play with me.
Play with my mind, stab me from behind,
then lie, then lie about me.

When I plead my case, face-to-face
witnesses don't want to believe me.

Accuse me of having issues,
then they give me some tissues.
"I know my enemy," I say.
They say, "We will pray."

Lord, help me this day.
He smiles and walks away.
