What is soul? Soul is conscious
of good and evil,
rejoicing over kindness,
weeping over injury.
Since consciousness is the inmost nature
and essence of the soul,
the more aware you are
the more spiritual you are.
Awareness is the effect of the spirit:
anyone who has this in abundance
is a man or woman of God.
Men and women,
the promise of God is true.
Do not be deceived by the life of this world;
and do not let Satan trick you about God.
Satan is your enemy, so treat him as such.
He lures his followers to become heirs of hell.
Those who do evil,
generally believe that their
actions are right.
God leaves some people in error,
and guides others towards the truth,
as he pleases.
do not waste away worrying
about unbelievers;
God knows all their actions."

STAND UP
BE STRONG
BE COUNTED,
GOD REALLY DOES LOVES YOU!
We need to confront the wrong doers
in no uncertain terms for their
hypocritical behavior,
So when is it right for us
to confront others and
when do we need to keep silent?
How do we know when we are reacting
in proportion to what has happened
or if we are overreacting?
When someone attacks us personally,
when do we turn the other cheek?
Or when we see wrong in society,
business, or politics,
should we speak out or
should we look the other way
and say nothing?
When people attacked good people
and accused them falsely,
they remained totally nondefensive
and said nothing because
they had nothing to hide.
On the other hand,
when people misused the House of Prayer
and used people for their own ends,
or tried to hide their hypocrisy
behind a facade of religious piety,
or loved their man–made legalistic rules
more than they loved people,
these good people will speak out
against them in no uncertain terms.
The bottom line is our motive.
People for God always did what they did
because they loved God and they loved people.
They attacked evil and wrong head on
because it was destructive
to those whom God loves—us.
Furthermore, they always spoke with authority
but was never authoritarian,
rigid, controlling or manipulative
because they always acted out of pure motives
and had no hidden agenda.
What we need to do
if we are going to make an impact
in our world is, first of all,
to acknowledge our own shortcomings
and with God's help,
work to overcome these.
Second, we need to love the things God loves
and hate the things He hates
and speak out against the things God hates
as we should. We need to be angry with these too.
We simply cannot love righteousness
without hating unrighteousness or injustices.
Remember that meekness is not weakness,
and also the words of Edmund Burke who said,
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil
is for good men to do nothing."
My prayer:
"Lord God , please give me the insight to discern
that which is right and that which is wrong,
give me the courage to stand up and be counted,
to speak out against and confront the wrong,
but always in a loving and godly–like manner.
And help me always to be willing
to do my part to bring about change.
Thanks God for all things.
You lose parts of yourself if you let others,
wrong doers infiltrate you with negative ideas,
visions of it, images,
and all the evil ways on this planet !
Do not listen to any of it, or them!
