“See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all.” (I Thessalonians 5:15 NKJV)
⁃ When someone mistreats you or tries to hurt you don’t seek revenge. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood (the actual person) but the spirits (demons), principalities, etc behind them.
• “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 6:12 NKJV)
⁃ Vengeance belongs to the Lord.
• “ 17 Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. 18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. 19 Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.” (Romans 12:17-19 NKJV)
• “Vengeance is Mine, and recompense; Their foot shall slip in due time; For the day of their calamity is at hand, And the things to come hasten upon them.”(Deuteronomy 32:35 NKJV)
⁃ When someone intentionally goes out their way to hurt you remember there’s something not right within them not you. Most people try to project their insecurities onto you. It’s easier said than done but don’t take it personal.
⁃ Do not let others actions affect and change who you are at the core. Your character, integrity, values, etc. People can spread lies about you but the truth will always prevail.
⁃ You can’t control what others do, but you can control how you deal with them. Not everyone has to have a seat at your table. Analyze the people around you and place them where they belong in your life.
