OPPOSITE REACTIONS

Dear One,
     Return love instead of hate.
     Return blessings instead of curses.
     Return good instead of evil.
     Return forgiveness instead of returning the evil done to you.
     Return mercy instead of judgment.
     Return peace instead of strife.
     All of that seems foolish to the human mind.  Returning opposite good attitudes and reactions instead of bad ones may seem impossible to you.
    There are many reasons I ask My children to always return beneficial words, attitudes and reactions instead of destructive ones.
    The first reason for those instructions is that it stops the evil activity immediately.The demonic motivation behind the evil acts of the other person is to get you to also operate in evil reactions, thus furthering the works of evil in your life, in the life of the other person and in the earth.
     When you refuse to participate in the evil passions of destruction, you have robbed evil spirits of their intended purpose.
     Another reason for returning good for evil is that it takes the authority in the earth away from evil and places it back into My family, where it was in the beginning and continues to be when you follow My good examples and principles.
     Another reason for returning good for evil is that it keeps you in the flow of My blessings because of the good and beneficial seeds that you sow.
     Good, positive words, attitudes and actions project good, positive spiritual energy and provide powerful arsenal to defeat the demonic spirits that come against you.  You can't defeat them with their own arsenal of hatred, judgment, curses, unforgiveness, anger and strife.  You only multiply the evil if you return evil words, attitudes and reactions.
     Returning My powerful arsenal of love, forgiveness, mercy, goodness and blessings will defeat evil deeds done to you, subtracting their power from your life and from the earth. 
     Always remember that spiritual warfare is opposite from fleshy, human warfare.
     Your weapons are mighty.  They are from Me.  They will pull down all strongholds that are lodged against you in an effort to defeat you.  Watch them fall powerless at your feet when you react in love, forgiveness, mercy and goodness. You will defeat the evil but you will also convert the person to My ways because the person will see your good works and glorify Me.

                                                                                   Love, God
