Don’t Switch Sides

I know you’re hurting, and things feel out of control. I see your anger and your need to put things right. But in your anger, do not sin. Ephesians 4:26. Remember, your battle is not to be heard or for people to agree with you. It’s not for others to do what you want or follow you. This war is for oneness with Me. Love is what wins. Romans 8:31-39. The enemy is not that person or a government or the one who is swindling you. Ephesians 6:10-12. You have a real enemy, but when you slander and attack, when you say cutting remarks or belittle, when you accuse without knowing My heart for that person, you are out of line; now, you are the one serving your enemy Satan’s purposes. Matthew 7:1-5, James 4:11-12. Step out of the battle now, My beloved. And step into Me. Find that quiet space where you and I are alone in your thoughts, and lay down all of your burdens, opinions, and agendas at My feet. This issue is here not just because of our enemy, but I have allowed this to happen for many good and eternal purposes, including within your own heart. Long have you been bound to reactions that push you over the edge and then, in turn, push others over the edge. In fact, many of the issues you face right now in relationships and circumstances are because of the disturbance within your heart. Here in My presence, let all those emotions and thoughts come on up to the surface so you can see them for what they are. Because each one of those is fueled by an enemy lie specifically crafted to get you fired up enough to shoot at others. Satan is the one you need to defeat, not that person or group. And as long as you’re serving his purposes rather than Mine, you will lose the battle. Let Me set you free with My truth. As you lay down your opinions before Me, ask Me for Mine. Ask Me how I see that person or situation. Only when you see what is true in Love’s eyes will you see clearly. It is Truth that sets you free. John 8:31-32. Not getting your way. Not cutting people down. Not demanding what you need or want. Love is the only way through this. 1 Corinthians 13, 1 John, Romans 8. Love is what wins this battle and every battle in life. Simply love Me and through My love, love others. Matthew 22:37-40. And beloved, please, when you have something to say, ask Me what I want to say first before you just spout something out. Check and make sure you’re fighting on the right side before you start (or jump into) a fight. Only My opinion matters. Only what I say is truth. Only what I do is right. My way is the only way for peace to return to your heart. Find out what I’m doing and join me there. That is the way we change the world: Together.
