7.12- We fearless take a stand against evil around us. We get it away from us.
7.12
Our family is lead by God, the Father of our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ. He taught that our way of
life involves standing against that which is harmful. On a good day, we don’t fear men because over
men is our Father in heaven. We fear the
damage done to our own soul by going against the ways of God. Jesus taught His men by His example to drive
evil out. This requires deep
love and courage. We must see beyond the
short term comfort of enabling our children, grandchildren and close friends
and those we seek to help. We must set
up standards and order that is healthy.
When someone wants to be with us who have their mind on death instead of
life and lies instead of truth they must be told the truth. Get away from us! This isn’t done with arrogance and self-righteousness,
but with a weeping heart and humility.
Matthew 10.
10 Jesus summoned His twelve disciples and gave them authority over
unclean spirits, to cast them out, and
Matthew 16.
21 From that time [r]Jesus began to show His disciples that He
must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests
and scribes, and be killed, and be raised up on the third day. 22 Peter took Him aside and
began to rebuke Him, saying, “[s]God forbid it, Lord! This shall never
[t]happen to You.” 23 But He turned and said
to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are a
stumbling block to Me; for you are not setting your mind on [u]God’s interests, but man’s.”
1 Corinthians 13
4 Love is patient, love is kind and is
not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant,
5 does not act
unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into
account a wrong suffered, 6 does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices
with the truth; 7 [b]bears all things, believes all things, hopes
all things, endures all things.
