The righteous teach

"Let a righteous man strike me—that is a kindness; let him rebuke me—that is oil on my head. My head will not refuse it, for my prayer will still be against the deeds of evildoers." Psalm 141.5

A righteous person teaches and those who are also righteous learn. For them, although the learning process may be painful or feel like an act of injustice, they know it is for their own good and accept it with gratitude.
But it is not so with the wicked, that is, those who are born of the flesh. They feel it as injustice, complain, get hurt, angry, do not accept it and even want revenge. But it is only natural, after all, the darkness hates the works of the light.

The name of the Lord Jesus Christ

"Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." Philippians 2.9-11
The name of Jesus is not like any other name. It carries within itself all authority over all that exists in heaven, on earth and all the universe. That is, over all His creation and everything turns against it. No evil subsists or can stand against the Name of the Lord of Glory. Therefore, pronouncing this name frivolously is taking the name of the Lord God in vain.

Your eyes

"The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your body also is full of darkness." Luke 11.34
While good eyes appreciate the beauty of virtue, evil eyes do not rest until they find faults within the details. Good eyes always see the good in people, but evil eyes will always have criticism.

Constantly

"Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Matthew 26.41

These are two things that must be constantly on our minds: watch and pray. They are as important to maintaining a clear conscience, and therefore salvation, as oxygen is  for life.
To watch is to always be careful not to be surprised by temptation, and to pray is to be constantly rebuking evil thoughts, doubts, fears and all evils.
It is better to always be on the watch than to fall.

Perfect and Just Judge

"God is a just judge, and God is angry with the wicked every day." Psalms 7.11

Right or wrong, good or bad, true or false, fake or original, sincere or feigned; pure or impure, good or evil, holy or unholy, perfect or imperfect; clean or dirty; fidelity or infidelity, correct or incorrect, with character or without character, moral or immoral.
These adjectives show the huge difference between justice and injustice.
If us, who are full of faults, are able to hate the works of darkness, the injustice, imagine the Lord, the Righteous and Perfect Judge.
Because of this, the rebels, disobedient and deceitful will not inhabit eternity with Him

Spirit of power

"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." 2 Timothy 1.7

Fear is a spirit that dwells in the minds of those who are distant from the Creator. However, this same spirit is empowering those who are possessed by it to do what is evil.
But the Spirit of God gives us power to overcome evil, love to love even our enemies and a sound mind, which means balance, not to be radical.

Sandalwood tree

“How lovely are your tents, O Jacob! Your dwellings, O Israel! Like valleys that stretch out, like gardens by the riverside, like aloes planted by the Lord,Like cedars beside the waters." Numbers 24.5-6
When the Holy Spirit makes His dwelling in the human heart, there is no way for sorrows, disappointments, annoyances and other evils remain. Instead, the person is like sandalwood tree (tree whose wood is fragrant) that the Lord has planted, like cedars beside the waters. That is, they become the perfume of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Shunning evil

"There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God and shunned evil." Job 1.1

Three characteristics of those born of the Spirit: they are honest and upright, they fear God and they shun evil.
Honesty and uprightness are related to our conduct towards other people. The fear of God relates to our conduct towards the Lord or the practice of His Word. The rejection of evil has to do with our conscience, when we avoid places and situations that have nothing to do with faith.

Who follows Me?

"Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, 'I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.'" John 8.12

Walking in the Light is living with a clear conscience, detoxified of any impurity of this evil world. It is to live at peace with oneself and especially with the Holy Spirit.
Living in darkness is to be subject to the immorality imposed by the corrupting society.

THE AUTHORITY OF FAITH

"Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the authority which the Lord has given me for edification and not for destruction."     2 Corinthians 13.10
While doubts give evil the authority to spread terror and destruction, supernatural faith has the authority of God to save those who believe. 
The servants of evil spread doubt and death.
The servants of God sow faith and life.

STEAL, KILL AND DESTROY

"The thief does not come except to steal and to kill and to destroy. I have come that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly."     John 10.10
The Lord Jesus gives us two clear alternatives in this verse: Good and evil. Everyone must choose one. The world has witnessed evil's actions because they have turned their back on Good. But those who learn the Word of God and obey it, will surely reap it's fruit in abundance.

Flee from evil



Go from the presence of a foolish man, when you do not perceive in him the lips of knowledge. Proverbs 14.7

The wise don't marry, walk or get together with fools. Rather they flee from them.
Better to be alone than to keep living a terrible life with someone else.
Whoever desires to keep their salvation must flee from evil so as to not get lost with it.

Not conformed

"And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." Romans 12.2


Noone in their good conscience revolts for nothing. The spirit of revolt also carries anger. Anger against sin; the sin that bears injustices and evil doings. Those who are of God are not conformed with this world. Instead, they aspire discipline, order, and justice. That's the Kingdom of God.

Keep from the evil one

I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. João 17:15
In this prayer, the Lord Jesus didn't pray for all human kind, but to those who followed Him faithfully. The question is: why so many who believe in Him are not protected from evil? Answer: because not all of those who say they believe are truly sincere in their belief.

My Lamp

For You will light my lamp; the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness. Psalms 18:28

The Spirit of God give vision for those who are His to know how to choose what's good, and so avoid evil with the light of His Word.

Vessel

"And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter; so he made it again into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make."
Jeremiah 15:4

When evil prevails in one's life, it torments it daily, destroys it's self-esteem, steps on it, humiliates it, and brings it shame. But once one humbles himself before God, He comes to his rescue so he may become a new creature.

Happiness

"Happy is the man who is always reverent, but he who hardens his heart will fall into calamity."
Proverbs 28:14


To man is given daily the choice of hearing the voice of Good or evil. Those who hear and practice the voice of God fear Him and are protected from evil.

Everyday

"God is a just judge, and God is angry with the wicked every day." Psalms 7:11

Humanity has been contaminated with unbelief, orgies, wickednesses, and worst of all, the indifference of God's existence and power.

Iniquity

"And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold." Matthew 24:12

The coldness of the heart you find too often nowadays is a result of the iniquity abound. When one lacks spiritual values, moral values are usually affected with little and almost no true love left, which by the way, can only come from faith.
