Dear One
It is so much easier for you to refuse evil, judgmental, critical temptations than for you to succumb to them and then suffer the consequences of being in agreement with the evil demons who tempt you, try you and then punish you for being their servants. Jesus said that they won't quit until you have paid the last mite. There are emotional, spiritual and physical payments from the devil when you follow his temptations. The temptations will be in all of the actions and thoughts that Jesus taught against, being judgmental, unforgiving, envious, jealous, critical, unmerciful, lustful and all of the actions of selfishness.
It is easier for you to fight the battle of the mind when the temptations come to your mind than it is to succumb to them and become a servant of evil. There is redemption because of Jesus, but there are consequences to the thoughts, attitudes and actions instigated by evil. Refusing to abuse others, refusing to judge others, refusing to become angry, and refusing to retaliate is easier than having to pay the price for evil actions.
There is no satisfaction for doing evil acts because of the guilt and condemnation that comes after the actions, plus the seeds sown from obeying evil will bring more evil upon you than is currently obvious. The devil tricks you into obeying him and then punishes you for doing the acts. His object is to defeat you in any way he can so that you will cast disparaging reflections upon Me and My family.
That is the reason why I said that mercy is better than sacrifice. Being merciful to all people is better than having to sacrifice your peace by obeying evil temptations. Stopping evil at the point of temptation is better than suffering the consequences of evil activities which are loss of peace, loss of freedom, loss of love, and loss of your spiritual power.
Stop evil at the first hint of temptation by speaking My words which relate to the temptation. Evil has to flee because you have refused to obey it.
Love, God
