daily word - love your enemies

Dale Cresap's picture

I told you to love your enemies. Do you find this to be the most difficult commandment of all? Even if you can get past your natural aversion at doing this, how do you go about it? You could pray for them; a prayer of loving and blessing and favor rather than judgment. For those who hurt you is your first response to hurt them back or to try to understand their situation? Is there anything you can do that is more concrete and visible? I address this question by teaching you to turn the other cheek, and to be kind to those who despitefully use you. This is how you can heap coals of fire on their heads, and I want you to understand this as something beneficial.

A testimony of the power of forgiveness

Dear CWG Ministry,

Thank you so much for today’s devotional message, love your enemies. I do get your messages almost every day at about 8:05am, normally my morning time, and I do share with some of our members and friends on my WhatsApp and Email, and when students at school I share with student leaders to minister to other students during daily evening fellowship / prayers; when student leaders have no time to prepare daily messages, they normally use CWG daily messages. With the virus now, all students are home and I am only sharing with friends and those on my phone contact. God is good. Thank you for this message, Love your Enemies. I shared on my Whatsapp and about 129 wrote to me and many liked it.

 A certain lady shared with her 74-year-old mother. She had been sick and her legs could not stand or walk without support since 2013. According to her daughter, her mother took a certain man to court in 2012 after the death of her husband. She claimed the man robbed their properties and poisoned her husband, but she lost the court case. After three to four months she felt sick, started with joint pain and she never walked since that time. Many people asked her to forgive the man but she could not and, according to her, she never wanted to forgive this man until death.

The daughter told me that when I shared the message with her, they were all together and she read it to her mother. Immediately her mother started crying and left.  She went to her room and came back with 9 names which, according to her, she had vowed never to forgive them. But after this devotional message today, she came back and told the daughter she had forgiven all her enemies. Her daughter then led her to Christ Jesus.

According to her, after she prayed for her, the mother went to rest after lunch (at about 1:48 pm) with a printed copy of "love your enemies" devotional message from CWG Ministries. She slept for about 3 hours. At about 4:13pm, the mother called her, her leg was restored! When she tried to get her walking stick, she realized that  she had strength. When the daughter came, and asked her to try to walk, she started walking well until now!

Fulfill Your Financial Destiny

Fulfill Your Financial Destiny

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 66 Pages

Though the economic system (mammon) of this world is under a curse, we have received instructions for how to move out from that dominion and into the blessing of the Kingdom of God. God’s promises to His children have not changed with the whims of government or Wall Street, nor have His directions for how to walk in those promises. We can “choose not to participate” in the economic recession that is around us if we instead choose to obey the logos and rhema of the Lord and enjoy the blessings that result.

Health Mastery Through MRT

Wouldn't it be great if there were a way for my body to tell me exactly what it needs and desires, without having to take expensive or invasive tests?

Hearing God Through Biblical Meditation

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 179 Pages | $15.99 retail list price

For many years I studied the Bible incorrectly, and it produced death rather than life. Even though I had a knowledge of the Scriptures, I did not personally experience the life and the realities they revealed. The Bible calls this the ministry of death, rather than the ministry of righteousness (2 Cor. 3:6–9). Upon coming out of Bible college, I found myself just like the apostle Paul, attacking those who disagreed with my theology.

How Do You Know?

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 180 Pages

How do you know? What is the process you use to discover truth? I did not ask that question during the first 25 years of my life. I used eleven different methods for discovering truth including: if my parents said so, then it was so. If my teacher said it was so, then it was so. If my pastor said it was so, then it was so. If my theology said it was so, then it was so. I have discarded them all and adopted a twelfth method, which is in harmony with what the Bible teaches. We teach you this method in this book.

How to Walk by the Spirit

How to Walk by the Spirit

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 136 Pages | Previous name "Sense Your Spirit"

Are you like many western Christians who have been taught little about how to sense their spirits? Do you have trouble even defining what spirit sensations feel like within you, much less recognizing them? This training was birthed from Mark’s passion to live out of his spirit, and thus release the anointing of God. The problem he faced was lack of clear biblical definition as to what his spirit felt like. So Mark looked up every verse in the Bible on heart and spirit.
