Color Or Race Doesn't Matter

  • Saturday, May 1, 2021

Ephesians 12: For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Anatomy 101, you have a body, mind and spirit which is kickstarted by your soul. The body moves you and gives you your appearance, the brain controls all the movements, analysis and reflexes, but the spirit is what makes you do what you do. Your flesh or color of your flesh has nothing to do with your actions.

In my lifetime so far, I have had so many people of different colors and races help me, teach me and love me. I'm not sure some of them weren't angels. No halos or wings, didn't look like anything close to what I thought would be an angel. I'm so thankful God put them in my life. 

Nobody is fighting against skin color or race. You are fighting against their spirit. 

Just remember, do not return evil for evil, but return evil with good. It isn't easy but the Good Book does give the best advice.
