“But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you.” -Jesus (Luke 6:27-28)
While standing in reverse warrior this morning and focusing on Jesus’s words in Luke 6:27-28, I realized that Jesus is telling me to be a reverse warrior. When I think of a warrior, I think of someone strong, forceful, and skilled at combat. Jesus reverses the concept of being a warrior and tells us to win over our enemies by being loving, kind, and skillful in prayer. Fear tells me that if I approach my enemy this way, I will lose everything to them. However, Jesus tells me that if I put my faith in His way, my reward will be great. It is a sign that I am a child of the Most High. I choose faith over fear; I choose to love, to bless, and to pray for those who are against me (or Jesus). Here I stand as a reverse warrior for Christ.
