He said: “Listen, King Jehoshaphat and all who live in Judah and Jerusalem! This is what the Lord says to you: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s. 2 Chronicles 20:15
Fear has gripped many believers since early November. Things were coasting along pretty smoothly then the election fiasco and cancel culture stepped in to upset the apple cart of truth and the enemy reared his ugly head dividing families and friends as he has been doing for over four years.
This is a battle for sure. When people are convinced a narrative is true since the social media and news media cancelled ‘the real truth’ then all you can do is know God is in this and trust Him for the outcome. The outcome includes repairing breeches in friendship that occurred over ‘politics’.
No relationship is worth ruining over things you heard over social media or the news and convincing yourself you are right. Spiritual warfare is rampant and believers have to stand firm buckling that belt of truth around them and press on to engage Satan and his demon forces. Don’t allow what comes from the mouths of mere men or your hatred of a political figure to cause division with those you love. Allow the Holy Spirit to work and allow God to do the repairing of hearts and minds. Your job is to simply love, be still, pray, turn off the news, keep off social media and if you rant do it only for kingdom purposes.
PRAYER: Oh Father my heart aches over the division caused by the enemy that is destroying friendships and tearing apart families. Father ,I lift up those I know to have pure hearts and not confused minds. I pray the real truth to be revealed and your will be done. Keep me calm in my communications and help me live to love. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Becky: I decided long ago that there are things bigger that politics. Family, friends, Health, public and personal. That's how I have been able to stay balanced these past 13 months. Peace and blessings to you and yours.
