The Battle For Our Minds. Part [35] 02/24/2023 (Evening thought)

Romans 12:20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

The broadcast of shows depicting justice and vengeance does not stop at the movies, for as we stated before, the strategy is to make the products readily available at your fingertips, and therefore, it is now to be found in our living rooms and online, just one click away, in the likes of Judge Judy, Judge Alex, You be the judge, Divorce court, Judge Joe Brown, Judge Faith, Judge Hatchet, and the list goes on and on.

 It never has and would never be God’s will for family and friends to go into the public square to tear each other apart. Exposing the misdeeds of another for the sake of personal retribution, and compensation, retaliation, and justification, is a strategy that is not endorsed, nor instructed in Christ’s kingdom.

 Somehow, we seem to be obsessed with a sense of strict justice and as persons go to school in the form of movies, theaters, and online streaming, we come away pregnant with justice, and the enemy of souls waits, invisibly in the wings for the inevitable results of his teaching to be made manifest.

Luke 9:54 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? 55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, You know not what manner of spirit you are of. 56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
