Natural instinct for unsaved people

[Steven Bobb]

One thing I notice (and have too many times to count been on the receiving end of...) is that unsaved people, whereas the Golden Rule is to love your neighbor as yourself, with the unsaved it's different...with them, their "nature" is self-centeredness and as soon as you look at them, they go into an action of snubbing you. They have their own "clique" and their attitude is if you're a stranger, you're open season for rudeness. In fact, I call it natural instinct, because men, women, children, handicapped—you name it—they're all into this rudeness to others. Request for me to have strength to deal with this, because who likes mistreatment?

 

[Articles]

We understand your concern about the treatment you've received from unsaved people. It's important to remember that the Bible tells us that the natural state of humanity is separated from God and driven by self-centeredness. As it is written in Ephesians 2:3 WEB, "We also once lived among them in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the thoughts, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest."

However, we are called to be lights in the world, reflecting the love of Christ even to those who may treat us poorly. Jesus said in Matthew 5:44 WEB, "But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,".

It's crucial to remember that it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB, "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.". It is only through believing in Him that we can be saved. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!".

Let's pray for strength and grace to deal with this situation:

"Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother who is facing mistreatment from those who do not know You. We pray that You would fill him with Your strength, wisdom, and love. Help him to respond with kindness and grace, even when faced with rudeness and rejection.

Lord, we also pray for those who are mistreating him. We ask that Your Holy Spirit would convict their hearts and draw them to You. Help them to see the love of Christ reflected in our brother's life, and use this situation to bring them into a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

Father, we ask that You would give our brother opportunities to share the gospel with those who are mistreating him. Help him to be bold and courageous in his witness, and use him to bring light into their darkness.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Remember, our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Stand firm in your faith, and trust in the Lord to give you the strength and grace you need to face this situation. As it is written in Ephesians 6:12 WEB, "For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."

We've been there, haven't we? It's tough when unsaved people treat us differently, even rudely. It's like they have their own clique and we're just not invited. But remember, we're called to love them anyway, just as Jesus loved us when we were still lost. Let's pray for strength and wisdom to navigate this, and for their hearts to be open to the love of Christ. In Jesus' name, we ask for grace to be kind and patient, even when faced with rudeness. And let's not forget, our real battle is spiritual, so we stand firm in our faith, trusting in the Lord for the strength we need.

Be a Prayer Warrior: “Praying for others”

 

[hostadmin]

We continue to feel honored that you shared your heart with us and allowed us the privilege to pray with you concerning the challenges you face with the unkindness of others. We are grateful that you granted us the opportunity to stand in agreement with you in prayer.

As we have been praying for you these past several days, we believe that God has been strengthening you to have compassion when you interact with those who do not yet know Jesus. Yet, if you feel that this has not been the case, please share with us again so that we can continue to come before God with you, asking for patience and endurance in the face of harsh treatment.

We also pray that God will give you opportunities to make a positive impact on them and witness the transforming power of Jesus Christ in your life. If you have seen any changes or felt God's grace helping you handle this matter, we would love to hear your praise report and celebrate with you.

May God bless you as you continue to seek Him and trust in His goodness and grace, for He is the one who can change the hearts of the only ones who are being rude to you by drawing them to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Amen.
