To Believe in Jesus, means to Believe in His Words. When we Believe in the Words of Jesus, we will LITERALLY behave the way Jesus has instructed us to behave.

For example, We will LITERALLY Love our enemies. How do we know if we are Loving our enemies the way that Jesus wants us to? There is no need to speculate. Jesus clearly explained how to Love our enemies. Jesus said to:

  • Bless them that curse you. When someone says a negative thing against you, they have cursed you. To keep the command of Jesus, a Believer will respond to negative words with kind words.
  • Do good to them that hate you. When someone is continuously unkind to a Believer, a Believer will consciously and deliberately respond with kindness and witness the Power thereof. This is what brings the enemy of Love to its knees.
  • Pray for them which despitefully use you and persecute you. When someone seeks your hurt, Believer, you will remember to labor to deliver the soul. Believer, you will discern the pain in the life of the person that has led them to corruption and pray for their healing and Understanding; having Faith that the Power of Jesus in you, which is His Love that we demonstrate by keeping His command; that this Faith and this Love and this Power that we are gifted with in Jesus will deliver even those who would harm you from their corruption that Peace may abound.


Believers, what other instructions of Jesus are on your Heart when you consider these things?
 
So the king said, “Go and see where he is, that I may send men to capture him.”
On receiving the report, “Elisha is in Dothan,” the king of Aram sent horses, chariots, and a great army. They went there by night and surrounded the city.
When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early in the morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. So he asked Elisha, “Oh, my master, what are we to do?”
“Do not be afraid,” Elisha answered, “for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”
Then Elisha prayed, “O LORD, please open his eyes that he may see.”
And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw that the hills were full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
As the Arameans came down against him, Elisha prayed to the LORD, “Please strike these people with blindness.” So He struck them with blindness, according to the word of Elisha.
And Elisha told them, “This is not the way, and this is not the city. Follow me, and I will take you to the man you are seeking.” And he led them to Samaria.
When they had entered Samaria, Elisha said, “O LORD, open the eyes of these men that they may see.”
Then the LORD opened their eyes, and they looked around and discovered that they were in Samari

And when the king of Israel saw them, he asked Elisha, “My father, shall I kill them? Shall I kill them?”
“Do not kill them,” he replied. “Would you kill those you have captured with your own sword or bow? Set food and water before them, that they may eat and drink and then return to their master.”
So the king prepared a great feast for them, and after they had finished eating and drinking, he sent them away, and they returned to their master. And the Aramean raiders did not come into the land of Israel again.

2Kings 6:13-23

Thank you ever so much for sharing this very Powerful story of Faith. This also reminds me how we are instructed to feed our enemies when they are hungry. Romans 12:20

We are also instructed by Jesus to feed people when we see them hungry and help those who need our help. Neglecting to do this is a direct offense to Jesus. Matthew 25:31-46
