BULLIES NEED PRAYER!

Bullies are nothing new. Their origins go back to the Garden of Eden, when Cain, slew Able. Cain didn't like God's preferences or God's terms. So, the fight against right and God's terms, begins with bullying, selfishly deciding your opinion is more important than your brother's opinion. Everyone has rights to opinions. According to God we are to be impartial, unconditional and humble. Impartial, unconditional and humble people do not bully. We respect diversity, knowing we are a part of diversity. So, thinking, humble, law abiding people vote. Bullies don't accept the votes of people who think differently than they think. Bullies deal with conflict differently than peace loving people. Their passions are fueled by anger, fear and deception. Bullying violence can lead to evil plots, which can and do devolve, into kidnapping, torture, death and war. Bullies need prayer and SAVING grace.

BULLIES MAY NOT REALIZE THEY ARE BULLYING OTHERS. Their self righteousness is the primary motivator. They think they are right. The Bible tells us, God is not in their thoughts. Nothing new here. "The wicked in his proud countenance does not seek God; God is in none of his thoughts." Psalm 10:4. It is not unusual for bullies to see God as wicked, the biggest bully of all, for they are blinded by pride and selfish ambition, like Satan was when he fell from heaven. God is the opposite of wicked. God is good, Truth and the Author of peace. Satan is the Father of pride, lies and out Accuser.  Jesus is humility, all Truth, and our all powerful, Excuser by His forgiving blood on the cross. Our actions are either from a heart of selfish pride or from a heart, who's first thought is of God. This is not complicated and applies to every human being on earth. We are all sheep, and some of us have chosen to be His.
May God bless us all. Historically, people divide people into categories, made up by other people. God doesn't divide people. We are all like sheep who need a shepherd. God sees us with eyes of impartiality, unconditional love and equality. We all need Him, equally. I like God's terms. He shows us what happens to bullies throughout the scriptures. Bullies make choices without thinking of God's plan for everyone. God does not bless bullies. We see what happens to peacemakers throughout the scriptures. "Blessed are the peacemakers" according to Jesus, in the book of Matthew. So, let's choose peace! God has chosen for us to live today, during a time when bullies continue to make life tough for people all over the world. Let's pray these bullies will not execute any more, hate driven, deadly plots of war and torture. Let's pray for the victims of today's bullies. Let's also pray we don't become bullies! May the bullies of today, choose SAVING grace. It's never to late for anyone to receive salvation from the evil one's 's lies and come to the truth, of Christ. Thank God! Never too late!

Happy 2017
