Overcoming the Edomites Part 2

Journey of the Sons of God to the Promised Land Today’s Focus: The Spirit of Edom: Overcoming the Edomites Part 2 Scripture: Proverbs 29:23; Matthew 23:11,12; Romans 12:19-21; 1 Peter 5:5,6 Greetings Sons of God: Let us continue looking at how the sons of God overcome the spirit of the Edomites today: Overcoming Perpetual Hatred Romans 12:19-21: dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shall heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. To overcome the perpetual hatred that the spirit of the Edomites we must do good. In the above scripture, Paul outlines those actions we can do that overcome. Even though they hate you, feed him, give him a drink, in other words, bless them. When you do that it heaps coals of fire on his head. We overcome hatred with good and good is God. Overcoming Pride 1 Peter 5:5,6: Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time; Proverbs 29:23: A man’s pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit Matthew 23:11,12: But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. If we are to overcome the characteristic of being prideful we must simply submit and humble ourselves. We should never think more highly of ourselves than we ought to. God will exalt the humble and will lower or abase the prideful. The prideful spirit of the Edomite is not of the Father (1 John 2:15). Submission and humility will always keep you in the perfect place to be used and accurately represent Christ in the Earth. In our next message we will look at the spirit of Moab.
