This message is inspired by the Reading “Evil” from the BookOvercoming Darkness. The Apostle Paul shares with us that when he would do good, evil is present with him. He encountered the force of evil in his spreading of the Gospel. We all encounter The fruits of evil. It comes from within ourselves. It also comes from outside forces. We are encouraged to guard our hearts with all diligence. The enemy is on the attack more now than ever before. (Romans 7:21, Proverbs 4:23, 1 Peter 5:8)
The fruits of evil reveal themselves in the form of people being boastful, proud, ungrateful, slanderous and without love. As we witness events occurring in the world, we witness all of these similarities. We understand that in the Building of God’s Kingdom, these events must occur. We understand that all these matters shall be dissolved. We live where God’s Peace abides. Where Peaceful Waters Flow. (2 Timothy 3:1-5, 1 Peter 3:11, Matthew 24:21)
The fruits of evil can never prevail. Our inspiration is to “Never Weaken and Never Sway. We hold and Trust in His blessing each and every day.”
EVIL
Evil Surrounds Us Everyday
All in the Form of
Just Getting in the Way
Sharpen your Skills
Always have great thoughts
This will strengthen you
And eliminate all doubts
Evil wears a smiling face
But it has no lasting Grace
It slips and slides in every crack
It pushes harder when you push back
So we say Can’t keep up with the Pace
God’s Grace and Glory
Will always win the Race.
