Dear One,
I walked in flesh in the person of My Son Jesus so I know how hard it is to love your enemies. (John 1:1) I know that your spiritual enemy, the devil, uses your family members, your friends, your relatives, your neighbors, your acquaintances, your mates, politicians, religious leaders and complete strangers to test you and tempt you into acting and reacting in anger, That's what he does as his method of operation is come against you through the flesh of other people so that he can entice you into reacting with anger so that he can bring all of his destruction into your life. If you will read My first history book, Genesis, you will see that it all started with Adam, Eve, Cain and Abel. The devil has never changed his tactics, he still uses people to destroy other people, robbing them of their peace, their love, their joy, their goodness, and eventually their prosperity in areas of their lives.
REJOICE, evil can be stopped. (James 1:4)
My spiritual tactics are much more powerful than the anger, wrath, hatred, vengeance and strife that the devil uses against you. My tactics never change, either. They are always the actions of love, forgiveness, keeping peace with and doing good to those who oppose you in any way. The old ways of returning anger for anger and strife for strife still result in multiplying the works of evil in your life. Yet My children still think that returning evil for evil will result in working for their good. It never has and it never will have a good result. Returning evil for evil will only bring further destruction into your life. My spiritual tactics are love, peace, goodness, forgiveness, kindness, patience and mercy and they will destroy the works of the devil who sends other people to come against you.
The devil is a bully and when he can entice someone to bully you, either in attitude or action, his hope is that you will react by also being a bully in return so that his plan is furthered, which is the destruction of the lives of both parties. You can envision two bullies "duking" it out with fists. How can that further My kingdom of love in the world? It only furthers evil.
My instruction to My children through Jesus is to do good to the people who bully you. The only way that you can do that is through the power of My Holy Spirit. He is the power of love. He is the power of peace. He is the power of goodness and kindness. My children who are led by My Spirit will return goodness and kindness to the emissaries of the devil who were sent to entice them into returning bullying gestures for bullying gestures done to them. Instead of doing the same bullying gestures in return, My children who are led by My Spirit will return love, goodness and kindness to the bullies in an effort to keep peace. When you return good for evil done to you, you snuff the spirit of anger out of the person who is bullying you and you win a victory over the supreme bully, the devil. You have furthered My kingdom in the earth instead of furthering the kingdom of hell. (Luke 11:20-26)
I sent My Holy Spirit into the earth to be received by My children for the very purpose of empowering them to defeat the works of the devil, just like Jesus did. (I John 3:7-9; John 10:10) Yet many of My children still return evil for evil done to them and profess to being led by My Spirit. They are not led by My Spirit. They are led by the spirit of the supreme bully, the devil, and they signed up for his destructive actions in their lives.
I did not leave you without the power to defeat evil. You do not have to depend upon your weak human abilities to return good for evil done to you. You have My Holy Spirit and His excellent power that even caused Jesus to be raised from the dead. (Romans 8:11-14) He can empower you to do good to people who do evil to you. He can empower you to hold your peace and speak kind words to those people who oppose you and speak evil toward you. WHEN YOU DO, YOU ARE SPEAKING MY WORDS OF PEACE IN THE WORLD which will produce your receiving My blessings into your life because you are identified as My child. (Matthew 5:9)
Love actions toward people snuff out the power of evil in every situation because love overcomes all works of evil. (I Peter 3:8)

RELATIONSHIPS 909-ANGER JUDGMENTS
RELATIONSHIPS 909-ANGER JUDGMENTS
Dear One,
First of all, let's establish the truth in your mind that I do not a judge. I am not the judge of My children. (John 3:17) The judge of My children is the devil who tempts you to do his evil works and then he judges and punishes you for them.
I am the Forgiver, not the judge. Jesus taught that truth when He began His teaching on the keys to obtaining the blessings from My kingdom. He even said emphatically that becoming angry and calling someone a fool makes My children liable to receive punishment from the fires of hell. That should be clear as it can be that it is the devil, who controls the fires of hell, who is the judge. I forgive; the devil judges.
That teaching came when Jesus was teaching about anger. He said that you have heard that you should not kill because those who kill will be judged He went further and said that to avoid killing that you should not even become angry with your brother or insult your brother because if you do become angry you will liable to be brought up to the devil's council and receive judgment for it. That is when he went on to say that if you call your brother a fool that you are liable to receive judgment from hell. The mechanics of that is when you obey the evil one you put yourself in line for his punishment. That is what he wants to do when he tempts you is to finish his deeds by punishing you. (Matthew 5:21-23)
James said that the tongue can be set on fire by hell and cause you to speak bitter, destructive words to others. (James 3:5-6) So you can see from those two teachings that I do not judge you for things, but it is the devil who judges you for following his temptations. The way he does it is to bring destruction into your life in one way or another.
Jesus said that My way is that if someone has anything against you, instead of becoming angry at the person or speaking evil words to the person or about the person, that you should do the loving thing and go to the person and make peace with him or her lest you hand yourself over to the judge, who is the devil, to receive his punishment for engaging in the conflict. The devil causes the conflict so that he can punish My children with his destructive acts. That is what any enemy does, draws a person into conflict so that the enemy can destroy the person's life. That is what your enemy, the devil, does. He draws you into conflict with others by making you angry so that he can bring his destruction into your life, It is devious and evil. That is his nature and character and he wants to make you a reflection of his character so that he can curse your entire life.
Jesus went even further when he said that you must make friends with anyone who accuses you so that you will not eventually be put in prison to receive punishment. He said that you will pay the full price if you continue to be in conflict with anyone. (Matthew 5:26) He went on to teach about returning good for evil done to you, about loving your enemies and doing good to them, (Matthew 5;38-48)
My children who do not intimately know Me and erroneously believe that I am the judge and the one who punishes will become judgmental and condemning of others, playing into the evil hands of the devil. They give him full rein to guide them into inheriting his destructive curses into their lives. (Matthew 7:1-2)
My children who think that I judge, condemn and the one who punishes My children are attributing to Me the character of the devil. They view Me as a monster instead of the Loving Father that I am. They believe the same lies that the children of the old covenant believed. They have not allowed My Holy Spirit to tutor them into the truth about My personality and character. I forgive them because I understand their choice of believing the devil instead of believing My Holy Spirit. but I am grieved because I cannot reverse the curses that they have chosen by following evil instead of following Me. If they will return to Me and begin to display My character of love in the world, all curses will be reversed because they are sowing seeds into My kingdom of love instead of the devil's kingdom of destruction.
As long as My children choose to believe the devil and follow his destructive ways, they also choose his curses instead of My blessings.
Anger brings the devil's judgment upon you and your family. Learn that lesson well.
Forgiveness and mercy for everyone bring My blessings into your life.
Choose whom you will serve, good or evil, and you will receive either blessings or curses, depending upon which characteristics you choose to adopt, either My character of love or the devil's evil character of anger and hatred.

Dear One,
First of all, let's establish the truth in your mind that I do not a judge. I am not the judge of My children. (John 3:17) The judge of My children is the devil who tempts you to do his evil works and then he judges and punishes you for them.
I am the Forgiver, not the judge. Jesus taught that truth when He began His teaching on the keys to obtaining the blessings from My kingdom. He even said emphatically that becoming angry and calling someone a fool makes My children liable to receive punishment from the fires of hell. That should be clear as it can be that it is the devil, who controls the fires of hell, who is the judge. I forgive; the devil judges.

The devil causes the conflict so that he can punish My children with his destructive acts. That is what any enemy does, draws a person into conflict so that the enemy can destroy the person's life. That is what your enemy, the devil, does. He draws you into conflict with others by making you angry so that he can bring his destruction into your life, It is devious and evil.

He said that you will pay the full price if you continue to be in conflict with anyone.

My children who do not intimately know Me and erroneously believe that I am the judge and the one who punishes will become judgmental and condemning of others, playing into the evil hands of the devil. They give him full rein to guide them into inheriting his destructive curses into their lives. (Matthew 7:1-2)

As long as My children choose to believe the devil and follow his destructive ways, they also choose his curses instead of My blessings.
Anger brings the devil's judgment upon you and your family. Learn that lesson well.
Forgiveness and mercy for everyone bring My blessings into your life.
Choose whom you will serve, good or evil, and you will receive either blessings or curses, depending upon which characteristics you choose to adopt, either My character of love or the devil's evil character of anger and hatred.

RELATIONSHIPS 808 - LAY DOWN PRIDE AND EGO
Dear One,
Is it so important to you to be right in a matter that you would sacrifice your health, your peace, your prosperity and your joy in demanding that you are right in a situation? Joining into a disagreement and insisting on your own rightness never results in anything but a full blown fight or skirmish with someone being hurt, either bodily or emotionally.
I told you that My righteous ways of action in a tense situation is for you to lay down your insistence on being right and to graciously allow the other person the right to have his or her own opinions, his or her own beliefs, his or her own customs and his or her own method of doing things. I told you to never return evil for evil done to you but for you to always return good for evil. In doing that, you are acting from My righteousness and you are spreading My love in the earth.
If you really think about it, insisting that you are right in anything is being a bully, a person who exerts his or her authority over someone else. A person who graciously allows others to have their own opinions and beliefs is gracious, kind and loving, being a peacemaker in the earth.
You ask the question, well, what if someone is really wrong and you are really right? Then the avenging is My business, not yours. I will always prove what is right in some way to both parties and it will be proved with no injury to either party. If you are wrong, then you have saved face by not insisting on your being right. (Luke 18:7-8) I said that avenging you is My responsibility, not yours. I can do it much more efficiently than you can because of My resources and My wisdom.
I said that anyone who exalts himself will be humbled but that someone who humbles himself will be exalted. (Luke 18:10-14) In that principle I was saying that anyone who exalts himself as being right in any situation will find that circumstances will humble him or her if he or she is wrong. But anyone who humbles himself or herself, not insisting on their own rightness, laying down their belief that they are always right, they will eventually be exalted by Me if they were actually right in the situation. When you allow Me to avenge you, you have avoided a skirmish, a disagreement, a fight or a full fledged war.
I amplified this principle when I said that if your enemy does something evil to you that you should do good to him or her. In other words, don't insist that you are the one who is right just because you have been opposed by someone else. Instead, swallow your pride and do some act of love toward your enemy or someone who is opposing you. When you do, it will allow My angels to minister to your enemy by your good acts. I said if your enemy is hungry to feed him, if he is thirsty to give him water and in doing so you are heaping coals of fire upon their heads. This is what the coals of fire are: My angels ministering to the minds of your enemies, changing their minds to become at peace with you. It works every time because love covers every sin done against you. (Romans 12:14-23; Ezekiel 10:1-2)
My ways are so diametrically opposed to your ways that they are complete opposites. If your fleshly ego, tempted by the devil, says to insist that you are right or to come against someone who opposes you, lay down your pride and your ego. Give the one who opposes you the right to his or her own opinion and belief. Instead of opposing him or her, do a good, kind act to the person and it releases My power to work in his or her life.
Never forget this: Acts of love release My power to work in the lives of others.
Lay down your pride and your ego and allow others to have their own opinions and their own beliefs without your judgment and condemnation of them. Pray for them and bless them, do good to them. In doing that, you send My angels to minister peace toward you in their minds. That is My way of your avenging yourself, allowing Me to do the avenging instead of you. Nobody gets hurt, either physically or emotionally and My love is spread abroad in the earth.

RELATIONSHIPS 707 - THE TRAP DOOR
Dear Ones,
If you were to observe an open trap door in the bottom of a floor, you would walk around it instead of walking into it with the possibility of some kind of injury or falling into dangerous territory. When My children are ignorant of the traps that are set by the devil by his using their own words, My children participate in their own damaging circumstances and toxic situations because they have provided the trap door through which the devil works. It is their own mouths.
Jesus told you that you are cursed by your own words and you are also justified or blessed by your own words. (Matthew 12:37) Paul said not to let any words proceed from your mouth that are bitter but only speak words that bring grace and peace to the hearer. (Ephesians 4:29) James said that bitterness and blessings should not proceed from your mouth. He said that you should tame your own tongue from which both blessings and curses proceed, only speaking words that bless others and yourself. (James 3:10-16)
Your spiritual teacher, My Holy Spirit, will guide you to only speak words that bring blessings to others and to yourself. When you yield yourself to Him by returning loving words for toxic words spoken to you, you participate with me in sowing blessing seeds for your wonderful inheritance from me. You have sown seeds into My kingdom of love and you will receive love benefits in return.
However, when you yield your tongue to the devil, allowing him to trap you with your own trap door, that being your mouth, you curse others with negative, strife-filled words and you participate in your own badly cursed future by speaking toxic words into the kingdom of hell which bring forth cursed circumstances into your life. That is what I meant when I said that you should choose between good and evil. You do it with your words, either choosing words that curse you and your future or choosing words that bless you and your future. Loving, positive words bless your future but bitter, confrontational words curse you and your future. (Matthew 5:44-48)
The trap door is your mouth. That is why Jesus told you to only return good for evil done to you. When you do, you defeat the evil works that came against you, blessing yourself and your family But when you return evil for evil done or said to you, you multiply curses in your life and in the lives of your family, plus you multiply the curses in the life of the person who spoke or did evil to you. You have participated in spreading the devil's evil in the world.
When you do yield your mouth to evil words, immediately apologize to the person you offended and ask for forgiveness. That will stop the progression of evil in which you participated. That is what I meant when I said not to let the sun go down on your anger, thus giving evil the opportunity to further bring toxic circumstances into the situation. (Ephesians 4:21-27)
I said that you grieve My Holy Spirit when you speak bitter, wrathful, angry, wrathful and evil words with malice (Ephesians 4:30-31) because He cannot bless you with My goodness when you curse your own life using your own mouth, the trap door used by satan to destroy you. I told you, INSTEAD, to be kind to other another, tenderhearted, forgiving others because I have forgiven you and I am kind, merciful and loving to you.(Ephesians 4:32)
Do not fall into the devil's trap of letting him use your own mouth as an open door with which to trap you and deliver his destruction into your life. I have coached you time and time again in My Instruction Book and My Spirit is constantly leading you to only speak My blessing, loving words, regardless of what someone says or does to you. It's really very easy. Just don't participate with the devil in your own destruction by yielding your mouth to him.
By My loving words spoken through your mouth you are blessed and by the devil's bitter words spoken through your mouth you are cursed. Choose My blessings and live.
Shut the trap door of your mouth until you can speak loving, peaceful, kind words in every situation.

RELATIONSHIPS 606
Dear One,
My advice, admonitions and instructions to My children, like a good Father advises his children, is to walk away from any and all confrontations, whether in your thoughts, your attitudes, your words spoken or your actions.
Jesus was explicit in His teachings on relationships, teaching never to return evil for evil done to you. That is the exact opposite from what was taught by religion under the old covenant. An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, a slap for a slap, an insult for an insult, an accusation for an accusation, always insisting that you are right in your thinking and other manners of engaging in confrontations and conflicts never resulted in good things happening to My children. They always resulted in multiplying evil for evil instead of stopping evil in the earth. (Matthew 5:38-48)
Jesus spoke the truth about the proper thoughts, attitudes, words spoken and actions done by My family in the earth. He said they were not of the old religious teachings but they are the opposite, never returning evil for evil done to you. He said that returning good for evil done to you will further the spread of My kingdom of love and blessings in the world. He said that when you return evil for evil done to you, that you are multiplying the evil in your life and that it will return to you pressed down and running over. (Luke 6:37-45) He said that if you multiply love and forgiveness in the earth, that love and forgiveness will be returned to you pressed down and running over in the form of My blessings.
My children need to learn, first of all, the teachings of Jesus, Paul, Peter, John, and James that describe My desire for you in your actions in all relationships with people because what you do to others you do to me. (Matthew 25:34-41)
When someone strikes you, walk away. When someone insults you, walk away and bless that person. If someone sues you, give more than is required. If someone challenges you, walk away and pray for that person. If someone considers you his enemy, give him food if he is hungry, give him water if he is thirsty, bless him and do good to him. If someone judges you and condemns you, bless him and pray for him. If someone steals your coat, give him a blanket also. If someone does horrible acts of evil against you, forgive him so that you are free from the burden of anger. All of those reactions come from My kingdom of love. They will cover every sin that is leveled against you, blocking it from affecting you.
My Holy Spirit will give you the power to amplify My love in the world because He is the fruit of My character of love. If you will walk away from conflict and confrontation, He will give you the power to return good for evil done to you.
The peace that comes into your life when you return good for evil done to you will result in My blessing flowing abundantly into your life. (John 10:10; Matthew 6:34; Matthew 5:9)
Amplify My love, forgiveness, mercy and peace in your life and they will be returned to you pressed down and running over.
Your Father of Blessings

RELATIONSHIP 505
Dear One,
How to relate to other people and to Me are the most important lessons that My Holy Spirit can teach to My children. They are so important that I instructed My Son to teach elementary lessons on relationships when I sent Him into the world.
When people who are extremely intelligent but have no social skills try to be successful in life, it is impossible for them to attain success because they always have to deal with people in a mature way. Social skills are more important than intelligence. Social skills are important in order to exist in the marketplace, in business, in marriage, in parenting and in organizations. Intellectual knowledge of My word is nothing without the social working skill of love in your life.
Having good social skills according to My principles are the most important skills that My children need to learn in relating to people. My children who lack good, social principles as taught by My Spirit are never successful in inheriting their full and complete inheritance that I prepared for them. Their ignorance of spiritual principles relating to acting and reacting to others and to Me will lead them into cursing their own lives by acting and reacting according to the temptations of the devil who tempts them by using fleshly desires.
Teaching you how to maturely relate to Me is the primary tutoring feat of My Spirit. If My children relate to Me as only being a Sugar Daddy who will give them good things because of their manipulation and begging, then they will obtain nothing. Those of My children who desire a one-on-one loving relationship with Me as their Heaven Father by listening to My guidance, My wisdom, My knowledge and My insight will find out by My personal tutoring that I will teach them how to access their inheritance by how they relate to others and to Me. Operating as My children in the earth with My character will always result in blessings being poured into your life because you have learned from Me and become like Me. When you are recognized as My peacemaking child in the earth, then you are identified as recipients of My blessings and My goodness. Our one-on-one loving relationship matters.
Likewise, teaching you how to maturely and perfectly relate to others of My children is also an important feat for My Spirit. When you relate to everyone in your life as you relate to Me, loving them as I love you, then you are in the fortunate place of receiving My blessings. I want you to treat everyone like I treat you, lovingly, mercifully, peacefully, joyfully and graciously. When you do, you access the goodness of My kingdom because you have labeled yourself as My child. But, when you act or react toward My other children with the negative thoughts, attitudes, speech and actions of the devil, then you label yourself as being one of his children and you are ineligible to inherit My blessings but instead you inherit his curses. You have made the wrong choice.
Returning good for evil will label you as My child, the recipient of My blessings. Turning the other cheek when someone strikes you with a fist or hurtful words will label you as My child, the recipient of My blessings. When you keep peace with everyone you will be labeled as My child, the recipient of My blessings. When you are merciful and forgiving of others, you will label yourself as My child and the rightful recipient of My blessings. When you bless those who curse you, you label yourself as My child, the recipient of My blessings. When you only speak edifying, gracious words you label yourself as My child, the recipient of My blessings. When you do good to those who do evil toward you, you identify yourself as My child, the recipient of My blessings.
Yes, how you relate to others determines whether you are labeled as My child and eligible for collecting your inheritance. I said that even if you give your body to be burned and have not love, you receive nothing. I also said even if you have faith to move mountains and don't have love for others, you will have nothing. I said if you speak in tongues of men and angels and don't have love for others, you are merely a clanging cymbal, ineligible to receive the blessings of My goodness.
I said that love is the greatest thing in the world and I described to you the works of love. Mold yourself to My image of love and you will inherit My blessings while you are in the world. (I Corinthians 13; James 2:18-24) Yes, faith without the works of love is dead faith inheriting nothing from My kingdom of blessings.

Likewise, teaching you how to maturely and perfectly relate to others of My children is also an important feat for My Spirit. When you relate to everyone in your life as you relate to Me, loving them as I love you, then you are in the fortunate place of receiving My blessings. I want you to treat everyone like I treat you, lovingly, mercifully, peacefully, joyfully and graciously. When you do, you access the goodness of My kingdom because you have labeled yourself as My child. But, when you act or react toward My other children with the negative thoughts, attitudes, speech and actions of the devil, then you label yourself as being one of his children and you are ineligible to inherit My blessings but instead you inherit his curses. You have made the wrong choice.
Returning good for evil will label you as My child, the recipient of My blessings. Turning the other cheek when someone strikes you with a fist or hurtful words will label you as My child, the recipient of My blessings. When you keep peace with everyone you will be labeled as My child, the recipient of My blessings. When you are merciful and forgiving of others, you will label yourself as My child and the rightful recipient of My blessings. When you bless those who curse you, you label yourself as My child, the recipient of My blessings. When you only speak edifying, gracious words you label yourself as My child, the recipient of My blessings. When you do good to those who do evil toward you, you identify yourself as My child, the recipient of My blessings.
Yes, how you relate to others determines whether you are labeled as My child and eligible for collecting your inheritance. I said that even if you give your body to be burned and have not love, you receive nothing. I also said even if you have faith to move mountains and don't have love for others, you will have nothing. I said if you speak in tongues of men and angels and don't have love for others, you are merely a clanging cymbal, ineligible to receive the blessings of My goodness.
I said that love is the greatest thing in the world and I described to you the works of love. Mold yourself to My image of love and you will inherit My blessings while you are in the world. (I Corinthians 13; James 2:18-24) Yes, faith without the works of love is dead faith inheriting nothing from My kingdom of blessings.
Your Loving Father

RELATIONSHIPS 404
Dear One,
We have discussed the truth that I never test your faith or your love, that the only testing is done by the devil who is your enemy and My enemy. I am your Father of love and I never tempt, test or try you. I live inside of you. I know your level of faith and your ability to love others. I teach you how to love unconditionally. I don't present temptations to your mind which force you to choose between good and evil. That is done by the devil and his demons who came into the earth when Adam fell for his deception and began to follow his guidance instead of My guidance. (James 1:2-21)
I sent into your life My own Holy Spirit so that you will have the power to resist the evil temptations to obey the devil. You have the power to overcome every work of evil presented to you. Most of those temptations come to My children in their relationships, from their mates, their children, their neighbors, their friends, their bosses, their teachers, their in-laws, their acquaintances and even strangers.
Because relationships with loved ones are so important to My children and to Me, the devil uses those relationships as the gateway into the lives of My children in order to destroy their successful lives. If he can tempt you to be in conflict with another person, or a group of people, he can gain entry into the lives of everyone involved and do his destructive work in all of their lives. That is his strategy in cursing My children through their own thoughts, attitudes, words and actions. The deceptive work is done by tempting you into thoughts of anger, hatred, bitterness, strife and conflict in relating to the evil works done to you. First he tempts someone to do an evil work toward you or speak an evil phrase to you. Then he tempts you to react by returning the evil done to you with more evil. If he can entice you to return evil for evil done to you, he multiplies his power in the situation and he has accomplished what he intended to do, which was to destroy relationships between My children and thus cursing their lives.
However, when My children refuse to react in anger, hatred, conflict, bitterness and strife, and instead react in love and forgiveness as led by Me, then My power of love defeats the works of evil and establishes My family of love in the situation. My blessings flow into the lives of everyone involved instead of curses from hell flowing into their lives.
My children need to know the truth that their enemies are never their mates, their friends, their children, their families, their bosses, their neighbors, their acquaintances, their in-laws or strangers. Their enemies are the demonic spirits who use the people against them. That is the basis of truth about toxic relationships. It is never the people who are the problem. It is the devil who is behind all conflicts, all evil works, all strife and all opposition. Those evil spirits are only using people to tempt you to be drawn into their traps so that they can bring their destructive acts into your life. When they can entice you to yield to their temptations to return evil for evil done to you, they can flood your life with their evil works. Your relationships are not the only things affected negatively/ Your health is affected, your work is affected, your mental stability is affected and your prosperity is affected. Your life is cursed because you merely defended yourself by returning evil for the evil done to you. You used the devil's arsenal against his own works, multiplying his curses in your life. (Ephesians 6:10-11)
I told My children how to defeat evil in their lives and it is never to return evil for evil. It is always to return good for evil done to you. I said it simply when I said that love covers every sin. Love for the person smothers every evil demon who has come against you through another person. Evil cannot continue to do its work when My children react in good deeds toward people who have been used by the devil to tempt them into returning evil deeds back to them. (Ephesians 6:13-18)
My love for you has always snuffed out the works of evil in your life so your love for others will snuff out the works of evil that come against you from other people. It is a spiritual principle, good always overcomes evil, love always overcomes fear, kindness always overcomes bitterness and conflict. Evil cannot stand in the presence of My love, forgiveness, grace and mercy.
Relationships are the areas where your enemy, the devil, wants to tempt you into conflict and opposition so that he can curse your life. The temptations to respond to evil acts toward you with more evil acts from you will only further the works of cursing your own life and the lives of others. But when you follow the teaching of your brother Jesus and return good for evil done to you, you multiply My blessings in your life and in the lives of others with whom you relate. It all goes back to choosing good over evil constantly. When you do, you sow into My garden of love and My blessings will flow into your life, pressed down and running over. (Matthew 5:43-48)
Chose this day to spread My love, peace, mercy and forgiveness into all of your relationships and you will be known as My child, blessed abundantly by your Father.
