Darkness is not just evidenced by terrorists or suicide bombers who threaten our world.
Darkness is evidenced by hatred in any form that’s fueled by evil forces.
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against rulers, against the authorities
against the powers of this dark world and against
the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
Ephesians 6:12
Throughout history the enemy’s ploy has always been to pit us against each other
in any way possible:
Race/Nationality
Class/Social Status
AgeGender
Political Party
Etc. Etc. Etc.Religious Affinity
I’m going to tell you exactly what I think
about our two primary Presidential candidates.
Are you ready?
Hillary is God’s Treasured
Daughter
Donald is God’s Treasured
Son
Newsflash: Neither of them is the next Anti-Christ!

Luke 6:31 (World English Bible)
Be honest with God about your fears, your hatred,
your biases, your struggles and ask for help
• I choose not to hate another person who has been created in the image of God just as I am.
• I choose not to villainize, demonize, devalue or trash another person.
• I will not let fear rule over me. • I choose to treat others exactly the way I want
to be treated. • I choose to align myself with heaven. I am a
voice of hope. • I choose to build others up. • I choose to see the treasures in each child of
God on the earth. • I choose love.
