Stop Hating - Love your enemies, WWJD

My Planks - Daily Intentions with Jesus at Heart

How do your actions affect others? Does the fruit of your action match your intention? Let's spend a devoted day, or week, paying close attention to how our actions impact others. Then ask God immediately how He would have us change the way we act and react, with love in mind. We want to make sure our fruit is righteous before God. He sees our hearts, and we want to do our very best to have our actions match our intentions. And to set our hearts on things of Jesus Christ.

My Plank: HATING

Verses:

Matthew 5

Matthew 22

Matthew 26

Mark 14

Luke 22

John 18

Romans 12

Action Step: Notice ways you hate, big and small. Notice how you directly affect those around you. Today when anger tries to give birth to hate, recognize the process and ask God to reveal to you all the ways you are hateful. Ask God to make clear and erase the pain you cause others. Invite God to show you how to purposefully rethrone Him above your anger and hateful actions. Repent and Ask Him to break any bonds you may have formed of allegiance with things of this world that are not of Him. Ask Him to remove the spirit causing hateful action and thoughts in your life. Then purposefully be on your toes in prayer throughout the day before you speak, and before you act. Rebuke the hateful thoughts not of God. Move forward in love and ask the Holy Spirit to fill you. What other scriptures come to your mind when addressing this plank? Romans 12 comes to my mind.

What is My Planks?

If I want to make BIG societal changes, where do I start? Well, it may sound cliche or naive, but the first step is to look at ourselves. Jesus told us we start with ourselves by removing the planks from our own eye before addressing the specks in the eyes of others.

So that’s what I’m doing here. I'm rebuilding myself after 10 years of rare disease. Welcome to My Planks. I'll share one of my planks each week. Every episode will end with an optional repentance minute, if that week’s plank was familiar to you too, you can join in.

Repentance is key. We can't just point out our planks, we need to repent to God, and get His help removing them. Supernatural help from God the Father is ALWAYS THE BEST DECISION.

Join me as we change the world by starting with ourselves.
