Thanks for watching guys & hopefully that helps you better love your enemies in a world of hate. So let us know, what are ways you’ve had to do this in your own life? Or what was God speaking to you to do? Let us know, down below! Bless you
This video was actually a godsend for me. I’ve been struggling with infertility and I have had to deal with really mean and unnecessary comments from neighbors and church members around me and it’s been hard to find forgiveness for them because they’ve hurt me deeply with they’re ignorant responses to my very personal and difficult trial. Listening to this video really is helping me to start to let go of the anger and hatred.
Your relationship & ministry have been a blessing to me. Thank you so much. Currently I've been struggling in this area and your message have woken me up. May Jesus continue to use & bless you both tremendously. Love from Indonesia! ❤️
You guys are getting so much better at this! It used to sound like you were reading your notes, but now it flows (; Your own parents can be your enemies if they curse you with negativity, like my friend's parents do...
I was 5 years of chronic illness! I was Semi Housebound, lost my health, job, finances and my fiance left me. I couldn't even look at electronic screen for 5 minutes, or hold a 10-minute conversation. But God did an amazing work. And if he can do this, he can do it in you also. 👍🏼 I now have a Christian Channel where I encourage people and show them what God did in my life and that there is hope for you also. ✝️🔥☺️ *Keep believing even when it's hard* 🙏❤️🔥👆🏼 *All things are possible with God*
One of things God that has been showing me is that in loving my enemies, I can't avoid my enemies (even if sometimes that means just mentally keeping them in mind so that I pray for them). I don't necessarily feel hatred towards people, but I'll tend to be apprehensive or scared of being around people who I know are antagonistic towards Christianity. I've been thinking about Heb. 13:6 this week, and reminding myself that people are just people. I don't have to be afraid of "enemies", I have the Lord, so I can just love them
Humility is such a big thing for this! It's so incredible to see Jesus's humility and to have his example to follow! My mind is constantly blown to think about Jesus when he was on trial- how he didn't defend himself. How, on the cross, he still said on "father forgive them..." Good stuff guys! Way to make it all about Jesus 😁
Thank you for this because I was struggling to forgive a friend who hurt me. But now I've taken the steps to love, forgive, and God just gave me an idea how to bless them..
Great video like always guys, I always think about people's salvation and how I was once lost too. My goal is to lead people to Christ I could care less about being offended.
I just love what ronnie said about when ur enemies mock you and attack you. That is powerful. Humility is underrated in this world. But God rewards the humble who abide in Him. Such great teachings from you two. I always love heartfelt testimonies and teachings. You can just feel ppl who are genuinely in tune with the holy spirit and love the Lord or is trying to grow spiritually.
Thank you for obedience to the lord. I've been going through a tough season of a lot of betrayal. I haven't necessarily struggled with lashing out or lashing back but holding the grudge on the inside. God has told me to forgive over and over. I choose forgiveness because he says. I dont want to just stay st forgiveness though. I want to also bless them in return and keep an attitude of humility as well. I love how you guys break everything down.
Amen Lord let me keep a humble spirit. Humility is beautiful. Let me always be mindful of the Lord’s mercy on me so I can be merciful with others. I’ll be more patient and humble with family and friends. Can’t wait to do better this 2021. There are mountains to climb!!!! Jesus is the way the truth and the life ❤️
THIS ❤❤!!! This blessed me because I really need a different perspective on how to love when I’ve been USED so much. People always want me to do for them but they care NOTHING about me and also very jealous. I just felt burnt out on people . Thank you for obeying and delivering this message ❤
I’ve been praying for answers about this topic recently and seeing this video in my newsfeed made my day! Another great and inspiring video. Thank you :)
Thank you for sharing. I can't do this anymore. I have loved those who have hated me, abused me, and treated me inhumanely repeatedly only to see them continue to see me as someone to play with. What is the strength in this???
Great video ❤️ I just want to explain something crucial about this topic in general: it's extremely important to not confuse Christ-forgiveness (which is from God) with niceness-submission (which is co-dependent behavior). A lot of people (including myself) historically respond to attacks with niceness and submission because we're scared or even traumatized. Even people who are saved by God already might struggle with the aftermath of certain childhood trauma, there's no shame in it. ❤️ For example of you were bullied as a kid and learned to be extra-nice to people in order to subconsciously avoid another attack, that would be co-dependent behavior. In a case like that, this niceness-submission is a trauma response (the "flight", "freeze" or "fawn" response). It's a neurotic drive to not cause conflict and keep the harmony, out of fear of negative emotions, such as guilt or shame. Co-dependency is very harmful to yourself and to relationships psychologically, and I know this because I behaved like that for years - thinking I was just being "a good Christian" who never defended myself, never stood my ground etc. But I was not led by God in that moment, I was led by my fear. However, Christ-forgiveness does exist. The thing is that this kind of true forgiveness, true meekness can ONLY come through God ❤️ us human beings are too weak, too hurt, too complex to really forgive someone authentically. But if we live seriously from the Spirit, God can supernaturally enable us to be truly unharmed by attacks and to transcend the entire conflict. Forgiveness, then, is not even an effort, but simply the natural outcome. Hope this helps somebody! If someone has more questions about the difference between Co-dependency and Christ-love, feel free to ask me 😊💐
So well said. We can set boundaries in love & forgiveness also can take time. I want people to know it's a process that can take time if the hurt is deep, but God will always help us!
@@chloeandnadia1673 and forgiveness does not mean unconditional tolerance of abuse. Jesus also stood his ground when going about the Father’s business. He wasn’t afraid to “tell it like it is” when appropriate
Thank you guys for your Very useful information. Anger, hatred.....are emotions and usually emerge from a brain part called amygdala so it's important to shrink that part and strengthen the prefrontal cortex.
There’s a song the children of my church sing in their Sunday school class titled “Love One Another” and the lyrics go like this: 🎶Love one another as Jesus loves you Try to show kindness in all that you do Be gentle and loving in deed and in thought For these are the things that Jesus taught 🎵 Honestly this song was the first thing that popped into my head when I clicked on this video, the world could use the advice ❤️
I was reading the word one night and was on this very same subject on how to love my enemies. I was asking God, how do I do that?! And no joke, I turned to Matthew 14:16 by accident and the verse says " But Jesus said to them, They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat." And right then and there Jesus answered me and i though to myself, wow! Jesus is the bread of life! We need to give our enemies Jesus. Something to eat if you will. I will continue to pray, and forgive them and show them kindness because that's what Jesus would do. Awesome message you guys! Thank you.
Y'all are amazing. All blessings to y'all may you grow in the fear of the Lord, perfect peace and have the eyes of your heart enlightened to more comprehend the Love of Christ which is beyond measure.
Very important topic, thank you both for talking about this. I also meet people who are enemies in a quiet mode, like it is ok if a person is screaming, at least you understand that they might hurted, but the most dangerous enemies can be in the christian community (u don't expect to meet them there) and a quiet ones, they can tell a comment, or a sarcasm, or asking too much about your personal life, or to be intolerant. it takes time to understand that they can't be trusted.....
I listened to this today in the morning and it was so good, even though I was thinking I didn't have any enemies right now. But God so knows what we need ahead of time because tonight I found out my husband was lying about an addiction. I went from scared to sad to very angry (that's now). I'm thankful, so thankful to God for this message of loving my enemies. My husband isn't my enemy but I know I need to give this anger over to God. Thank you so much for talking about this. ❤😭❤
Literally just had a conversation/debate with someone on tiktok about manifesting. Sometimes I just want to yell at the other person for not seeing clearly, like I can't imagine this person is so "stupid". Then I realize that I was once in their shoes. I believed the same lies they did, my eyes were not open. This helps me to stop for a second and breath. Not act with anger but to understand. It's hard to live in this world but as Jesus said, the world hated Him first. It's almost expected that people won't understand us. It just makes me sad that people say that I'm forcing my religion when I want to help by telling God's truth and my own experience with it :(
Prayer is helping us right now deal with friction in our marriage. Also, important to remember that your spouse is not your enemy (my beautiful faithful through the storm sweet, but often strong willed wife ;)). Ronnie, I'm sure the bad comment was off the mark. People tend to be far too unkind with what they say over the internet. Keep doing what you are doing trying to help others, trusting God, and walking His way . . . if you are being attacked chances are THE enemy doesn't like what you are doing. God bless you both.
Thank you for your wise words. Im old and my peace has been violated along with my lack of love for everyone due to getting too caught up in the divisive news these days. I needed this reminder of Who is important and what to do now.
I know you guys are talking about ATTITUDE but also it says blessed to those that share the TRUTH/WAY/LIFE with others! Have to show others that there is HOPE - Jesus Christ already came and CONQUERED.
Confirmation of the Word sister I just finished signing this song Search me Oh God And know my thoughts I pray See if there be some wicked way In me Cleanse me from every sin and set me free Great video Much needed God bless you both
Loads of love n respect for both of you... you're contributing in our lives to make ourselves more like Christ... you're setting an example of true Christian couple... I pray that I'll get someone like you guys...
Thank you for this reminder. I've been hurt by non & christian friends and it took a long time to forgive and humble my heart to them. You're right about we ourselves can respond. Thank you again for your videos.
So I've had some really great questions from our youth ministry about loving our enemies but still bringing justice in these scriptures. The question was: If God's word is written for all of us, then are these scriptures written to us, the church and not just to military members or police officers? Is God calling us to bring justice on the behalf of others? I would love to hear your view on this Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute,” (Psalm 82:3). “Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, and pleade the widow’s cause,” (Isaiah 1:17). “He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” (Micah 6:8). “But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and neglect justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others,” (Luke 11:42).
I'm late to the party but I am a very recent. Like in the last week, I've been getting into the Bible. I've watched probably around 15 of your videos. For people that are just down right rude, mean or having a bad day. This also works on people that are good and happy. I've always said "I hope your day is as good as you are." It's actually gotten some people to stop and think how they're being and treating others and those that are good are even happier.
Idk if this relates to anything this video says, but something I’ve had to learn about loving enemies is to love them from a distance. If someone is a threat to you and your well-being, it’s okay to keep your distance from them. However, it is NOT okay to wish any harm upon them. It is NOT okay to wish for them to go to hell. We have to pray for their growth, well-being, and salvation.
I thought this was going to be easy. But it is something I immediately recognized as something I need to %100 improve without a doubt. Very good lesson
I’ll admit that this is a very hard one for me. For years, I was subject to intense bullying (actual repeated verbal and physical beat downs). As a result, I became very defensive and combative as a defense thought all of that was behind me. In latter years, it has resurfaced with a vengeance stupid macho repeated confrontations from mostly guys. I’m a smaller dude but I carry myself with confidence and dignity. I don’t bother anyone yet they still come for me. Although Heaven is the ultimate goal, I still have to be a man. I don’t know how to reconcile the two.
Speaking the word of God is the way.we tend to be passionate in b our tones.Lately god has work in my heart to speak softer in tone yet still speak the the word of God is the way to love your enemies.whats not is not telling them the word of god
Dealing with haters on my job and apartment. But really on my job everyday I hate going to work..I have 4 ppl i deal with deal. N they are diff ppl n 2 are same. But with 2 that changes it is the over history of the job. So sic of the haters smh. And i do have slight problem with my fam. But the biggest problem is my job. I have original haters that are always there and are around. Smh. I just get sic if these. Especially on tues and Fridays i hate going to work smh. God knows i need my job but i hate it. I wish certain ppl just leave r certain 2 ppl just leave. Also there is alot of favoritism and family status at my job. There is always someone son or daughter working at my job smh. N some how i end up having to work with them that causes so much prob. Bc i pick up on ppls vibe and body language smh.but when i want to hate i just pray and i ask the lord to help me love harder smh. Bc it is hard smh. I just get so sic Sorry this is all over the place just stressed out bc of my job .
I sometimes wonder why the people you love hurt you the most than I think of Jesus who died for me even though I am sinner, He still chose to keep me alive. GodíŁove💖 #TrueLoveHurt😭
I think the word enemy is a strong word to refer to someone who made you upset. People's reactions are sometimes a product someone else response to them. Just because someone was mean to you today doesnt make them your enemy. I think you need to have grace for people sometimes they are just in a difficult place. Doesnt make them an enemy.
Forgiveness yes trust no. Sometimes you need to cut off people. I think people don’t understand forgiveness. If someone is just sinning against you then boundaries are needed. I also believe there are times to confront wrongdoing.
I was thinking of you guys the other day and I saw a peice of metal, like a pole, and it was struck and bent. Then the metal was back to normal shape. And I understood your going to get beaten until you can keep your shape without getting bent out of shape. Hope that makes sense. Endure the beatings. The end result is strength. (Matthew 7:24-27)
That actually makes a ton of sense. The beatings from others hurt and it’s hard and makes you want to quit and hide, but like you said, the Lord wants us to one day not be affected by it and is slowly strengthening us over time. Bless you brother
@@RonnieandMel Thank you again for the work you are both doing. I read through the comment up to the point of "Then the metal was back to it's normal shape." and my immediate thought of both of you was your "bent" and hollow condition before you were saved and now how straight and strong, solid rods you both are by what God has and is doing in you both and how that is being passed on to others by what you are doing. God is so cool. 😎
Question on who is enemy...once they hurt or harm you yes now they are enemy, we are called to pray, bless n love the enemy but are we to trust them again...mingle again...? Guess not
Once trust is destroyed it is very hard to rebuild especially if the person has abused in any way or has conned you or stabbed you in the back. They may act nice afterward to ENSNARE you and then start the toxic cycle all over and it WILL be worse. This does not apply to ALL situations across the board. God bless you.
Thanks for watching guys & hopefully that helps you better love your enemies in a world of hate. So let us know, what are ways you’ve had to do this in your own life? Or what was God speaking to you to do? Let us know, down below! Bless you

I wanna be close to God but I'm feeling I'm losing my faith. What is the best way keep a faith in God? P.S. i'm your fan from S.Korea
You guys are getting so much better at this! It used to sound like you were reading your notes, but now it flows (;
Your own parents can be your enemies if they curse you with negativity, like my friend's parents do...
FORGIVENESS IS NOT ABOUT OTHERS.......IT ALWAYS ABOUT YOU........SELF FORGIVENESS......LEARNING TO LOVE YOUR SELF....UNCONDITIONALLY
FAITHFULNESS VS LAZINESS
I was 5 years of chronic illness! I was Semi Housebound, lost my health, job, finances and my fiance left me. I couldn't even look at electronic screen for 5 minutes, or hold a 10-minute conversation.

I believe love is greater than hate in Christ Jesus. Peace!
LOVING YOUR "ENEMIES" IS THE SAME AS LOVING YOURSELF.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is *the only message in the world* that has the power to transform hearts 💔-> ❤️
By God’s grace 🙏

Yall's videos always bring tears... That Romans 5:8 really got me...
Thank you for this because I was struggling to forgive a friend who hurt me. But now I've taken the steps to love, forgive, and God just gave me an idea how to bless them..
FITHFULNESS vs UNFAITHFULNESS
I truly don’t have anemies, my heart is clear and clean
Perfect timing, great message having a few difficulties with someone who used to be close to me and I am seeking peace while feeling under attack. ❤🙏
I love how you guys are being shepherds to God’s people, praise the Lord for you! Keep making warriors for Christ. 🙏🏾

So true, especially in light of what happened in our governement in January 2021.
Im sad for everyone not saved. Its like I found the cure to the biggest disease and want everyone else to discover it. That the way I see enemies
Dude I know right! That's the passion that fuels intercession and evangelism but it still still makes me sad at times 😬
Rejoice and know that you have given them the greatest gift of Jesus Christ that they could ever receive. Leave the rest to God ❤️
@@timeisnow1673 that's a good way of looking at it!
Thank you for bringing attention to enemies in Our own Family! The Bible says this and it is very difficult to deal with.

This is so important, there are so many Christians who don't know if they are acting through God or if they're merely re-enacting a trauma response :(
Wow , this is so true. How should we react to the narcissistic abuse from others.
So well said. We can set boundaries in love & forgiveness also can take time. I want people to know it's a process that can take time if the hurt is deep, but God will always help us!
Amen!!!!!!👍👍👍👍.

Great way to look at it from a different point of view.
Think that when someone is angry , he or she is hurting. Why do we hate ? Prayer takes the hurt and hate away.
I always struggled with my mother in law.I picked up the bible and I really feel I can step back and pray for her now. I found patience..
Y'all are amazing. All blessings to y'all may you grow in the fear of the Lord, perfect peace and have the eyes of your heart enlightened to more comprehend the Love of Christ which is beyond measure.

“But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and neglect justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others,” (Luke 11:42).
Perfect timing, thank you so much! God bless you both
BE BAPTIZED IN JESUS NAME, BY WATER AND BY THE HOLY SPIRIT !!!!!
I'm late to the party but I am a very recent. Like in the last week, I've been getting into the Bible. I've watched probably around 15 of your videos. For people that are just down right rude, mean or having a bad day. This also works on people that are good and happy. I've always said "I hope your day is as good as you are." It's actually gotten some people to stop and think how they're being and treating others and those that are good are even happier.
Idk if this relates to anything this video says, but something I’ve had to learn about loving enemies is to love them from a distance. If someone is a threat to you and your well-being, it’s okay to keep your distance from them. However, it is NOT okay to wish any harm upon them. It is NOT okay to wish for them to go to hell. We have to pray for their growth, well-being, and salvation.
Absolutely. Everything you said.
Thank you for this video.May God bless you🙏🏾
I thought this was going to be easy. But it is something I immediately recognized as something I need to %100 improve without a doubt. Very good lesson
Wonderful video and topic. Great work
A much needed message. Thank you 🌻
I’ll admit that this is a very hard one for me. For years, I was subject to intense bullying (actual repeated verbal and physical beat downs). As a result, I became very defensive and combative as a defense thought all of that was behind me. In latter years, it has resurfaced with a vengeance stupid macho repeated confrontations from mostly guys. I’m a smaller dude but I carry myself with confidence and dignity. I don’t bother anyone yet they still come for me. Although Heaven is the ultimate goal, I still have to be a man. I don’t know how to reconcile the two.
Thank You for this 😌
What a motivational video 🤩🙏
I needed this today. Thank you! 🙏🏼
Speaking the word of God is the way.we tend to be passionate in b our tones.Lately god has work in my heart to speak softer in tone yet still speak the the word of God is the way to love your enemies.whats not is not telling them the word of god

God bless you, you don't even suspect what a powerful stream of light you bring into this world, thank you 💐
I sometimes wonder why the people you love hurt you the most than I think of Jesus who died for me even though I am sinner, He still chose to keep me alive. GodíŁove💖 #TrueLoveHurt😭
Great points on responding to "enemies".
I don’t have any enemies
I think the word enemy is a strong word to refer to someone who made you upset. People's reactions are sometimes a product someone else response to them. Just because someone was mean to you today doesnt make them your enemy. I think you need to have grace for people sometimes they are just in a difficult place. Doesnt make them an enemy.
It's very true I was just talking to my husband about this and found the video this is a God sent. Blessings to you and family 😘
This video is so relevant. THANK YOU TO BOTH OF YOU.God bless you.
Forgiveness yes trust no. Sometimes you need to cut off people. I think people don’t understand forgiveness. If someone is just sinning against you then boundaries are needed. I also believe there are times to confront wrongdoing.
Exactly!!!!!!! 👏👏👏👏
Godbless ur channel do more guys really inspiring🎉
Merry Christmas Ronnie and Mel!!!
I was thinking of you guys the other day and I saw a peice of metal, like a pole, and it was struck and bent. Then the metal was back to normal shape. And I understood your going to get beaten until you can keep your shape without getting bent out of shape. Hope that makes sense. Endure the beatings. The end result is strength. (Matthew 7:24-27)
That actually makes a ton of sense. The beatings from others hurt and it’s hard and makes you want to quit and hide, but like you said, the Lord wants us to one day not be affected by it and is slowly strengthening us over time. Bless you brother
@@RonnieandMel Thank you again for the work you are both doing. I read through the comment up to the point of "Then the metal was back to it's normal shape." and my immediate thought of both of you was your "bent" and hollow condition before you were saved and now how straight and strong, solid rods you both are by what God has and is doing in you both and how that is being passed on to others by what you are doing. God is so cool. 😎
grats on 100k.
Amen
Question on who is enemy...once they hurt or harm you yes now they are enemy, we are called to pray, bless n love the enemy but are we to trust them again...mingle again...? Guess not
Once trust is destroyed it is very hard to rebuild especially if the person has abused in any way or has conned you or stabbed you in the back. They may act nice afterward to ENSNARE you and then start the toxic cycle all over and it WILL be worse. This does not apply to ALL situations across the board. God bless you.
Wow! Such a great teaching...God's word is the answer and perfect. Thank you for elaborating this truth. So many nuggets!
