RETALIATION

RETALIATION

John 18:1-10

Like Peter, you want to protect yourselves and those whom you love 💘. However, the best protection is leaving things that hurt you in the hands of God. The bible says in Matthew 10:28 not to be afraid of those who could kill the body as they can not kill the soul. Therefore, to use the energy to retaliate against someone to appease your appetite is useless.

God will allow your flesh and your soul no rest as you are not authorized to take a life. That means do not force condemnation, depression, fear, etc. to your enemies or you will self-inflict yourselves.

Its hard not to be vengeful in such a state of pain because your heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked, who could know it. Jeremiah 17:9. It's full of James 4:1-4, wars and fightings. The flesh doesn't STOP until it gets what it wants; by any means necessary. God is aware and he is against it.

If you want help in turning away from the pain and thoughts of retaliation, let God give you a heart of flesh. Ezekiel 36:26, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. LET IT GO AND GIVE IT TO GOD FOR HE SAYS ALSO:

Deuteronomy 32:35, It is mine to avenge; I will repay. In due time their foot will slip; their day of disaster is near and their doom rushes upon them. & Romans 12:17-19, Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "it is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord.
