But the wisdom from above (from God through His Holy Spirit) is first morally and spiritually undefiled; pure, then peace-loving, courteous, considerate, gentle, reasonable and willing to listen, full of compassion and good fruits.
It is UNWAVERING (not an option), it is without self-righteous hypocrisy and self-serving guile.
And the seed (YOU) whose fruit is righteousness, because of Spiritual maturity is sown in peace by those WHO MAKE PEACE by actively encouraging goodwill between individuals.
Amen – James 3:17-18
Pure “Truth” and easy to understand; DO NOT make yourself, by opinionation with human emotions, influenced and exploited by the prince of darkness, the evil enemy we battle against in this world; WEAK!
YOU are not above God. God is in control.
Peace WILL win over anger, hate, violence, injustice, and lawlessness! All by the POWER OF HIS HOLY SPIRIT! Not by any human thought or action you pontificate as an excuse for anger, hate, violence, injustice, and lawlessness!
As a Christian, God’s directive, indeed His command, is clear!
Standing (all-be-it as we are – meek) STRONG (by the power of His Holy Spirit in us) against the spiritual enemy of this world with UNWAVERING adherence to His Word, to His Message for You regarding peace, is the faith HE REQUIRES OF US, IN FACT HAS GIVEN US THE POWER OF HIS HOLY SPIRIT IN US!
FALLING BACK TO HUMAN EMOTION AND RESPONSE SHOWS WEAKNESS!
BE STRONG IN MEEKNESS, BE STRONG IN PEACE, BE STRONG IN FAITH, AND BE STRONG IN HIS HOLY SPIRIT!
~Pastor Michael
Well I for one know that I need to grow in wisdom!
I pray that God continues to bring those things to light in my life that need to be changed!
“Lord give me ears to hear and eyes to see !”
“Create in me a clean heart O God and renew a right Spirit within me.”
In Jeus name, amen!

This is true.
It is something that I think upon daily.
I am often goaded by a person who us close to me.
I used to take offence,now I am still and do not respond in kind.
It works.
That way I open not a door for the devil to step in.
To God be the glory!
