Malice = the desire to cause pain, injury, or distress to another. (Merriam-Webster dictionary) This spirit is not of God, my precious sisters. It is of the flesh and of the enemy. It's purpose is to steal, kill, and destroy. It speaks death, not the abundant life of Christ. It is a snare designed to keep us shackled and imprisoned. The cure for malice is to humble myself before God and to repent to Him. I resist Satan's lies that I am the exception to God's Word and that it's okay in my situation for me to hate someone and wish him harm. I yield myself to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. I seek His will, not my own. I seek His wisdom and invite Him to transform my thinking. I take my thoughts captive for Christ. Lord, Please forgive us for every speck of hatred, unforgiveness, bitterness, rage, violence, and malice. It is abhorrent to You. Help us to see just how poisonous these things are. Forgive us for our sin, Lord! We have no excuses that will stand in Your presence. Cleanse us. Wash us with the blood of Jesus and make us a Spirit-filled, holy, loving people, fit for Your kingdom and Your service. Amen! Helpful Verses: Love does no harm to its neighbor. Rom. 13:10 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. Eph. 4:31-32 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love each other. Anyone who does not love remains in death. Anyone who hates a brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him. 1 John 3:14-15 Verses about loving our enemies: https://www.openbible.info/topics/loving_your_enemies Verses about forgiveness: https://www.openbible.info/topics/forgiveness Verses about confronting sin: https://www.openbible.info/topics/confronting_sin
