Oh dear, how I go through the same as you describe...
For what my two cents are worth, first of all I do not hate any person (in their essence).
When I encounter hateful behavior, I [try to] keep in mind that it is not them speaking or doing but the enemy that has gained a hold on this person.
With not hating the person, I can still address the enemy by
- showing love (which makes the evil spirit flee),
- pray for them and lay the problem at Gods Feet (which will make God move in their lives).
It is the only way to love thy enemies.
I must say that every time I am astonished to see how powerful God works.
The very one thing the enemy wants to acchieve, is to GET YOU ANGRY!
So that he can say that you are unable to follow our Lord Jesus.
That is the snare. See it for what it is: satans pityful attempt to make you stray.
Don't buy the anger, but convert it into love, smile and show them you are on Jesus side...
It always catches the enemy offguard. And even if I die, they do me a favor by providing me a shortcut to Heaven.
So where can we loose? We won! We just only need to realize it and then live it.
God Bless You =)
I do thank you for that is the Truth and the Spirit of the LORD has given you the words to say to me...
I prayed and cried, and kept trying trying to pray for the enemy...and told the LORD I was to angry to let it go...but he finally after much confession and repenting... the LORD gave me peace....He lead me also to the prayer I put on Pamela's post Please Read this...
He is still working with me I am so thankful he does...I keep Praising Him for taking away that anguish I had yesterday, where I felt I could just crawl out of my skin...
The LORD is always there...sometimes in despair we think of him being far away, but if just like what was said here, we just CRY HELP...and repent....Oh how he comforts us and allows love to come forth...thank you all I feel so much better today...and am Confident that the LORD will do a WORK a MIGHTY WORK with us all...why BECAUSE WHOM CAN STOP HIS LOVE...i love you all too...may his PEACE come upon all of Christian net. Amen
