See that No-one Renders Evil for Evil 1Thess.5:15-24

See that no-one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all.

Rejoice always.

Pray without ceasing.

In everything give thanks; for this is the will of GOD in Christ Jesus for you.

Do not quench the Spirit.

Do not despise prophesies.

Test all things; hold fast what is good.

Abstain from evil.

Now may the GOD of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.

1Thess.5:15-24

In exchange for the garment of heaviness GOD has given us the spirit of joy. [Isa 61:3] Prayer is communion with the One we love, our GOD and Father of all. There is power in the prayer of faith. Prayer overcomes the attacks on our minds by the evil one. Prayer causes us to set our minds on whatever is good, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, whatever is excellent or praiseworthy. While we are soaked in the Light of GOD’S presence, no darkness can seep in. The dark, ugly, painful memories and the evil arrows that want to plague our thoughts and cause fear, pain, lust, vengeance or greed, cannot pass through the force field of GOD’S glory. When we give thanks from a grateful heart for the endless blessings bestowed on us in fathomless love, the Holy Spirit within us ignites a joy unspeakable and full of glory, filling us with power as we revel in GOD’S love. When we spend time in GOD’S presence and in the beauty of His Word, the peace of GOD’S fills us, removing all fear and doubt. In His presence it is easy to abstain from evil. Sweet and bitter waters cannot spring forth from the same fountain. There are many false prophets today. Do not, however, despise prophesy, but remember to test all things by the Word of GOD and to hold fast to that which is good.  Praise GOD who has sanctified us completely in spirit, soul and body and will preserve us blameless at the coming of Lord Jesus. Our GOD is faithful. The work that He has started in us He will bring to completion.
