01 Ye Resist Not Evil
from Pastor Jeffrey Walter Hosted by Christ Academy for All Nations
In our journey of transformation, we often try to deal with the evils within us by instinctively confronting the wrong desires, false thoughts, as well as the negative emotions they stir up within us. Yet this approach often leaves us struggling even more with these evils, rather than truly overcoming them. But there is a better way: do not resist evil. In this message, “Ye Resist Not Evil,” Pastor Jeffrey Walter explains the deeper meaning of the principle “an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.” He points out how we often err in our instinctive response to evil desires, falsehoods and negative emotions that arise within us. Highlighting the dangers of confronting evil from ourselves, he presents the Lord’s way to overcoming evils and emphasises that our battle is to not resist evil, but to turn away from it and not yield to it. He further offers practical guidance on how to deal with evils, drawing a clear distinction between allowing evil and obeying it. Ultimately, he urges believers to embrace this path, no matter how challenging, assuring that it is the sure way to overcome evils. Beloved, may this message inspire you to embrace this true path to overcoming evil, so that you can experience genuine freedom. Key Scripture: Matthew 5:39 (KJV) 39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. Other Scriptures: Matthew 5:38-41; John 14:30 [All Scriptures in KJV]
