Darkness is not just evidenced by terrorists or suicide bombers who threaten our world.

Darkness is evidenced by hatred in any form that’s fueled by evil forces.

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against rulers, against the authorities

against the powers of this dark world and against

the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Ephesians 6:12

Throughout history the enemy’s ploy has always been to pit us against each other

in any way possible:

Race/Nationality

Class/Social Status

AgeGender

Political Party

Etc. Etc. Etc.Religious Affinity

I’m going to tell you exactly what I think

about our two primary Presidential candidates.

Are you ready?

Hillary is God’s Treasured

Daughter

Donald is God’s Treasured

Son

Newsflash: Neither of them is the next Anti-Christ!

Luke 6:31 (World English Bible)

Be honest with God about your fears, your hatred,

your biases, your struggles and ask for help

• I choose not to hate another person who has been created in the image of God just as I am.

• I choose not to villainize, demonize, devalue or trash another person.

• I will not let fear rule over me. • I choose to treat others exactly the way I want

to be treated. • I choose to align myself with heaven. I am a

voice of hope. • I choose to build others up. • I choose to see the treasures in each child of

God on the earth. • I choose love.
