I have a coworker that at times it seems she goes out of her way to be rude and mean to me. I was just talking to my wife this morning about the situation and no less than five minutes later I find this video. I so love how when my heart and my head want to do one thing and say certain things and treat people certain way, but the Holy Spirit teaches me what is right, what is judged, what is pure. Thank you for posting this!

Lord the world is straying away from you, they're taking Christ out of Christmas, and filling their New Years resolutions list with worldly things but all they really is You. All they need is Jesus, God. And I ask that you help us, your servants, show them that. Bless these people with the eyes to see Christ in the Christians of today, and the mind to realize how much they need him, and the will to turn their lives over to him, God, to turn their lives over to You. In Jesus' name, Amen.

So much of this teaching is needed. It is the foundation of Christianity. So said that it is not a common principle in the vast majority of Christians especially when God is SO clear on this principle through Jesus' life. A desire for truth can only lead to this one conclusion. And this is a hard conclusion to accept, it was for me 15 years ago and still is. I have a natural attitude for revenge and retaliation. I'm thankful God blessed me with His message through my parents.

I rewinded John asking the third question like 5 times 😂 I don’t want to just do what’s right outwardly. I want a heart change. I want it just be my nature. I’m 24, and I’ve gave my life to Jesus when I was 22. There’s been ups and downs, but he’s been growing me and showing his goodness and glory to me in ways that are just mind blowing.... it’s gotten to the point where I can’t help help but notice my prideful nature, and I can’t stand it. I love him, and I really don’t like that there are things in my character (like how my flesh craves praise and honor, and recognition) that I know are unpleasing to him.... but he keeps showing me his goodness... And then I realize he knew all these ways in me were already there when I first gave myself to him, and he reached right into my mess, not caring how my dirt would get on his hands and pulled me out and started cleaning me up for a deeper relationship and communion with him... Anyway, he’s been ministering to me about it, so I know now it’s only a matter of time before I truly grasp ahold of letting that go. But man, I want to be able to show love to any and everybody without there being any perverse intentions. I want to lay myself down for others not because I know I should... but because it’s who I am. I want to be a pleasing aroma unto Jesus. A humble and acceptable sacrifice. Help me Lord.

September 25, that is coming Sunday is my birthday and my heart's desire is to be closer to God and deepen my intimacy with him. These words of wisdom are my best birthday gift ever. Mattew 5:45a 'That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven. I am blessed to obey my heavenly Father who freely forgives me and calls me His daughter. I am so grateful for this wisdom, imparted to me at this age of my life. Indeed, God loves me.

That was the best explanation of those scriptures I have ever heard. I do these things mostly but its very hard and frustrating. Loving your enemies is hard but if you can put yourself in their shoes for a few minutes and try to understand them it will help you to love them and see their point of view. You never know what someone else has been thru.

Excellent short teaching on, to me, what is the most perplexing and outright offensive teaching of Yeshua. The point that the Father and the Son of Man will repay them and repay us clarifies everything and gives me the ultimate rationale to try the teaching out. There will be perfect Divine Justice in the end for all. That's what will enable us to do this, with wisdom, little by little. We just need a lot of discernment and wisdom in how to apply this based on context.

Jonathan Chambers idiot. I dip my fore finger in the watery blood of your impotent mad redeemer and write over his thorn torn brow: the TRUE prince of evil - the king of slaves! I give love to those who deserve it, instead of love wasted on ingrates! There is nothing wrong with showing vengence and he who turns the other cheek is a cowerdly dog! Man is just another animal sometimes better more often worse than those that walk on all fours, because of mans "divine spiritual and intellectual development" has become the most vicious animal of all! He that is slow to believe anything and everything is of great understanding for belief in one false principle is the beginning of all unwisdom. Are we not predatory animals by instinct? If humans ceased wholly from preying upon each other, could they continue to exist? Love your enemies and do good to those who hate you, is this not the despicable philosophy of the spaniel that rolls upon his back when kicked? Blessed are the strong for they shall posses the earth-cursed are the weak, they shall inherit the yoke! Blessed are the bold, for they shall be masters of the world-Cursed are the righteously humble, for they will be trodden under cloven hoofs! Blessed are the victorious, for victory is the basis of right-Cursed are the vanquished, for they shall be vessels forever. Blessed are those that believe in what is best for them, for never shall their minds be terrorized- Cursed are the "lambs of God" for they shall be bled whiter than snow! Blessed is the man who has a sprinkling of enemies, for they shall make him a hero-Cursed is he who does good to others who sneer upon him in return, for he shall be despised!

Sally Nunes, and yet throughout your cursing upon us, we have become even more blessed. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. You say "Blessed are the victorious", yet our God Jesus has secured the ultimate victory.

@@texasfriendlybeekeepers8210 What do you mean by "dispatch"? Kill? You don't follow books? I do. There are 37 in the New Testament alone. And in none of those will you find any mandate from God to kill anyone, since Jesus paid for all of our sins, and in the NEW Covenant, we are not told to give people what they deserve, but the loving forgiveness they DON'T deserve. I'll pray for you, friend. I didn't understand the NewCovenant grace until after 40 years of being an Old Covenant believer, so I don't have ANY stones to throw at you if you're still calling for justice instead of mercy.

@@texasfriendlybeekeepers8210 I dare you to find one place in the NEW COVENANT where God tells even ONE person to kill anyone! F.Y.I., I've read the entire Bible through about eight times; KJV and the NKJV most of those, along with reading the whole Bible in the original Hebrew, studying many important words in the Greek, often using Strong's Exhaustive Concordance, etc. Besides reading it myself, I spend about an hour listening to the narrated Scripture almost daily. We may indeed be listening to different versions of the Bible, and there are some pretty bad twists made in some common translations. For instance, 1 Cor. 13 correctly DOES NOT SAY "Love always protects". LOVE BEARS ALL THINGS. Even death. God didn't protect His own Son from a torturous death. GRACE IS NOT FAIR. You don't deserve forgiveness any more than a murderous terroritst, Sir. And I implore you to BE TRANSFORMED by the renewing of your mind; not conforming any longer to the murderous, bitter, self-defensive, fear-mongering norm of this world.

I have family members who I used to be close to who now appear to hate me and want nothing to do with me. Out of pure love I tell my grandmother to give them my love, to tell them that I'm still here for them when they need me. They may resent me for it, they may even curse my name, but I have faith that when the day is done the only thing left standing will be my genuine love for these lost and bothered individuals. If it were not for my Lord Yeshua, I may never have come into this mode of being in the first place and have found the love for my enemies within myself. Thank you, Yeshua, for this love you have born within me. Amen.
