you're right and I think that's what should be done. Praying for our ennemies and meaning every "God bless" adressed to all His children is part of our mission. It's not their fault, they are just played by the devil and our mutual prayers are helping each other.

I think this is what most of us do. In the begining it's mostly lip service but eventually as you grow and mature you begin to truly mean it when you say, "God bless you." Change and growth come about with time. It all starts with a conscious decision to do better. In this case recognize that the ppl who are hurling insults and the like at you are bruised internally and that is a common way it is acted out. All believers should expect to be ridiculed, shunned, called many names like intolerant, haters, bigots, (especially by your family and those closest to you), etc. **shrugs shoulders**. Remember, God's ways are complete foolishness and the total opposite of the human logic and intellectual reasoning we see embraced/relied on by the world daily. His ways were once foolishness to me toojust be like, God bless, and walk off. i do that. i have to or i'll say somethin that's not good yall.
. You learn better, you do better.Luke 6:22-23, 27-28:
22 Blessed are you when people hate you,
when they exclude you and insult you
and reject your name as evil,
because of the Son of Man.
23 “Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their ancestors treated the prophets.
27 “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

I agree with Prudent, this comes with growth. Prime example, when I got to work, I was in the Spirit. I had just got through listening to a message on BBN and was all good. I checked out my emails once I was able to get my computer up and bam! received an email that was accustory. Yes, it did put me in a mood and yank me out of the will of God very quickly. I haven't mastered handling my emotions to the Father yet. That is a growing process. Just like me cussing when I hit my foot, mad, is a work in progess. It maybe that it will never come to pass that I'll overcome this, well maybe not by myself. Point is, Satan also knows our weakness, knows what set us off quickly and majority of the times, we let him win. Once I've calm down, I do listen to the Holy Spirit telling me to calm down and remember you're under attack. Sometimes I'll listen to him right away, then other times, I have to think about it for a while, play it out and then let it go. Today, it took me a while to calm down but it has taught me that the attack may be planned but it's also undetected. We must always be on guard and when we do fall out of the will of God, when you have calm down and recognize that you have sinned, then you're able to sincerely confess and repent and give it to the Lord completely.
