Jesus' Power Conquers the Action of Evil among Us

We are invited by God, in this time of grace, to review our attitudes and actions that cause division, disunity and weeds to spread in the Kingdom of God.

“Every kingdom divided against itself is destroyed“(Luke 11: 17).

The action of Jesus is to fight evil and the evil one, the author and prince of all the evil that is in the world. So Jesus does not condone any of the works of evil and does not condone anything that comes from the evil one. It is a supreme evil to want to assign the good that the Lord does and the action He uses to expel evil as a work of evil. A kingdom divided can not exist; Satan can not attack Satan; evil cannot attack evil. Only those who can attack the evil are good, one the one can destroy the evil force is the force for good!

What a mess when two practitioners of evil fight each other so that one is more vicious than the other. Think of it as a complicated and difficult situation! Think about our house when that terror begins, that war of spirits one is against the other. Our house also is destroyed when it has no unity; it is not necessary for all people to be equal, but there needs to be respect for differences.

That sectarian spirit, who wants to see the world, the people, the only religion of “our” way, is not Jesus. The spirit of Jesus is the unity and convergence of differences, they know how to live side by side, even with the deep or small different views that are in the world and its realities. Learn to live with those who do not think like us, who do not want something like we want is a key to sow the Kingdom of God and build it in our midst.

We do not fight people, but the action of the evil in our midst. The evil one wants us divided,  fighting against each other. He wants to see a separate house of God. It is sad when a Christian does not look at another, when brothers did not talk to each other.; when religions do more to separate rather than to unite people, when, for religious interests, we create walls instead of bridges to approach and unite.

We are invited by God, in this time of grace, to review our attitudes and our actions that cause division and disunity and weeds to spread in the Kingdom of God. We expect them all resign.

We want to ask the Lord for the grace of knowing how to live with differences and thus build the Kingdom of God. The attack upon each other and division by division are not things of God, but evil. Renounce the works of darkness!

God bless you!
