Many believers have become desensitized to The Word and have passively accepted the latest “politically acceptable” values. Many remain silent when confronted with evil and their silence is seen as passive acceptance. We are to Love the person but not their lawlessness or evil actions. It is clear that they do not fear GOD or exalt HIS Word or they would seek to be righteous and walk according to HIS Word. They are on a path to death and destruction because of the darkness in their heart. We need to speak FATHER’S Wisdom to them in an appropriate manner so that their darkness will be exposed and at the same time give them hope of a better life.
Wisdom writes in Proverbs 8:
12 “I, wisdom, dwell with prudence,
And find out knowledge and discretion.
13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil;
Pride and arrogance and the evil way
And the perverse mouth I hate.”
FATHER hates evil and so should we. As we mature as Sons and Daughters, we will gain Wisdom concerning our response to evil. We must not allow ourselves to get caught up in the world’s view of those who promote evil’s agenda. Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Galatians chapter 5:
19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,
20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,
21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
We must not allow ourselves to become desensitized to the works of the flesh but maintain our focus on The Word and be led by THE SPIRIT. If The Word is our top priority, we can face the world each day with the confidence to overcome evil with good.
Wisdom also speaks in Proverbs 9:
10 “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom,
And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
11 For by me your days will be multiplied,
And years of life will be added to you.”
The world’s wisdom and understanding is no match for FATHER’S Wisdom and understanding but many believers do not consistently seek FATHER’S Wisdom concerning their daily matters. Instead, they succumb to the wisdom of the world and achieve substandard results. We must recommit ourselves to pursue FATHER’S Wisdom as we see in Proverbs chapter 3:
19 The LORD by wisdom founded the earth;
By understanding He established the heavens;
Wisdom existed before the earth was created and by HIS Wisdom FATHER created this dynamic earth. Wisdom’s “fingerprints” are everywhere if we only have eyes to see. If we want to experience a long and productive life, we must embrace FATHER’S Wisdom and hate evil. Our individual callings will be impaired if we become desensitized to the evil which is so prevalent today. Our lights will expose the evil and open the eyes of those who are lurking in the shadows. As we grow in FATHER’S Wisdom and HIS Love, we will properly address the evil around us and not allow it to enter our households.
