How should we respond to evil deeds

Guard your heart

I watched a video on youtube showing a man putting a cigarette and a drink that looks like beer in the mouth of a boy who seems to be about two years old. Another man with them was and kissed the boy in his mouth. I interpreted this is a homosexual couple who abuses a child they probably adopted.

These people are perverts at a high level, without any fear of God.

What makes people wicked? In many cases it concerns people who are convinced that they are already condemned to "hell" and that there is nothing left to lose. They are people who have no hope and are revolted and with the desire to take revenge on the world so they try to corrupt as many people as they can. It's really evil.

What this kind of video provoke on non-corrupted people? Indignation, revolt, anger, the desire to do justice by condemning them, or a sense of impotence, etc.

These are natural emotions, but what are the consequences of these emotions? They are harmful, disturbing. This kind of video is so shocking that it will stay in your mind and heart long enough to affect your day, your concentration and the way you view the world and others. The heart closes and its joy disappears. Bingo! the enemy has managed to hit you directly and you unknowingly continue to spread and promote this poison. I am not saying that we should not divulge this type of thing, the intention is noble, but keep reading and you will understand my point.

What was shown in the video is a reality, and as it was done in a public place, there were many witnesses who can identify the evildoers. They can contact the authorities, denounce the criminals and rescue the child from their hands. Yes, it is our duty to act in favor of the innocent and to act for the impediment of the continuation of the crime that we witness, we must do according to our position.

Attention! We are responsible to protect "guard" our heart. How to protect yourself from the negative emotions that this kind of video provoke ?

We must realize that the enemy's goal is to disturb and destabilize us, and this happens when we resist realities, when we do not accept their existence, when we stand in resistance. This is counterproductive. The negative emotion that remains persistently in our heart is a sign of resistance.

There are several factors that lead a person to become perverse. And certainly the main factor, it is a deficiency of love that causes a cascade of moral, emotional and spiritual imbalance. This occurs when the person believes that he is not loved by the one who should love him. Be a reality or an interpretation.

When a person believes that he has nothing to lose, he has no fear, but still being a human being, he does not want to feel isolated and needs to see others in the same position as him, so he does everything to pull to his level whoever he can.

See how love is fundamental! If we do not protect our heart, if we allow it to close when we witness this kind of thing, that light which is love will gradually fade away.

We must be aware that our hearts must exuberate love and promote love.

In this situation how to preserve love and increase the flame?

1- Recognize that this type of video touches us because it shows who we are. People and situations serve as a double-faced mirror. On one hand, we can identifie with it, on the other we see that we are the opposite of that.

If we feel indignant at perversion it shows that we are not evil, on the contrary, we approach the image of God that is Love and Purity. Rejoice in this realization! Joy expands our hearts.

2-Feeling compassion for the innocent child. It also shows that we have a Divine virtue. We should pray for the child a prayer based on love and compassion and not on the focus of hatress of wickedness.

3-Let us be aware that it is condemnation that leads to a lack of fear, and a lack of fear leads to perversity. Should we contribute to this perversity? No way!

Surely in many cases even in this one the guilty deserve to be imprisoned, first so they can no longer hurt anyone else, and second for them to have the opportunity to examine their conduct, and only with the recognition of wrong can they open themselves to a restoration .

If it is the deficiency in love that leads to perversity, what is the antidote? Love, Forgiveness, a change of perspective. Know that those who make victims were themselves victims of someone who they did not forgive and continued to poison themselves with the hatred which is darkness, a lack of love / light.

Yes, we must condemn sin because sin is permanent and will not change, but the sinner has the potential to repent, to change his path, but for this he needs hope, because it is hope that gives the strength to fight.

So the position we must take is to pray that the wicked can receive enough grace of God to be changed.

One thing is certain - from the moment we take this position, we protect ourselves from the venom that has been cast and we raise the flame of Divine love in our hearts.



Proverbes 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.

I hope you reported that video to YouTube and the police.



I addition to reporting such deeds to proper authorities, we can pray for the person guilty of evil deeds to repent and seek to obey God.

Hi,CDFF0123 here, I believe as Christians we have authority; moral and spiritual authority since we have not been called to fear but to speak up for those oppressed,,,, there's a very urgent need to report to the relevant authorities-the police and children's rights protectors,also we need to call a spade a spade condemning all evils fearlessly.....I feel sad.
