How to Overcome Evil – Luke 6 – [REBEL] – Brent Phillips – Encounter Houston

Can we really make a difference? Can we really do anything about the conditions of evil? Will we ever be able to overcome it?

We are called to war and to overcome evil by doing good.

Romans 12:17-21 "Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody…Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Overcome the evil of others by doing good and being good to them."

How do we change the evil in people? By overcoming their evil and doing good to them!

Our God is good. And we defeat evil by doing good to others!

Evil comes in many forms. We often feel that people are our enemies. People that are a thorn in our flesh, a person that you feel was put on this earth to simply make your life miserable. But we must remember that people are not our enemy! There is an enemy that wants to steal, kill, and destroy you!

Scripture tells to resist the devil and he will flee. That greater is He that is in me than the one who is in the world. We have the greatest force on our side and that is the Holy Spirit. He is leading us into all truth. He is for us. And He is fighting with us!

1 Corinthians 3:6 "I planted the seed in your hearts, and Apollos watered it, but it was God who made it grow."

We overcome evil by planting one seed at a time. To way to overcome evil is to do good to one person at a time. Plant the seeds of good and God will begin to make it grow.

If we aren’t taking the opportunity to plant seeds of good God cant make them grow. When we choose to plant seeds of good God cant help but show up and change that situation.
