How to Defeat Your Enemy Proverbs 25:21-22

Posted on by Just broken

Proverbs 25:21-22 (NIV)
21. If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat, and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink, 22. for you will heap burning coals on his head, and the LORD will reward you.

I’m shaking my head wondering if there’s anyone out there listening to the wisdom of God. We all need to intently consider the words of God. His words sure aren’t of this world, certainly not of this day. We are at the opposite end of the spectrum no matter where you look.

How did we get here? Think about it. It’s not the first time, won’t be the last time. When we stop listening to God we end up here. This is not a mystery, it’s history.

How do we get back?

John 14:26 (ESV)
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.

And what does that produce?

Philippians 2:2 (NLT)
2 Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose.

What kind of world do you want and how do you plan on getting it? How will you defeat those who are in opposition?

PS No, I don’t think Daesh and their like can be beaten with flowers. They can be defeated with God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit though.

I Love The Father, Son and Holy Spirit and the blessings He has poured into my life. I pray that I live a life that glorifies Him in all I do, but I fail every day, many, many, many times. I have come here through brokenness, a trail of pain and broken promises that I've created through my self centeredness, self will and arrogance. For those I've hurt, please forgive me for what I did. Those things that I remember I am truly sorry I did them. I wish I could undo them. I can't. I use these lessons as motivation to be a builder, to take those experiences and hopefully keep someone else out of their own similar experiences. I love my wife, my children, my family, my friends, my strangers, and those the world would like to dismiss as an unfortunate error messing up worldly perfection. I get frustrated with all of the above too, for I am broken, not like God. Lord, give me your wisdom, your patience, and knowledge of your will for me and the strength to carry that out in all I do. I believe we have work to do while we are here and need to be actively engaged in allowing God to work through us. A Christian is someone who does what The Father, Son and Holy Spirit calls them to do, a builder not a taker, a conduit not a pinnacle, humble and serving. Micah 6:8 Matthew 25:31-46
