Matthew 10:35 (KJV) For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Matthew 6:15 (KJV) But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
How can Yeshua (Jesus) say He came to set family against family yet tell us to forgive or we won’t be forgiven? There are children raised in abusive families, typically because a parent was raised that way. Children following the same path as the parent, and this abuse continues generation after generation because of bitterness and unforgiveness. Children hearing parents arguing with each other another thing. Yeshua’s (Jesus) desire is to have you gain understanding in all these area. You will do this following Him.Does Satan Have A Plan To Use All This?
Short answer is Yes he does. He will use you hating a parent, a family member, friends, even enemy’s to find a way to stop you from following Yeshua (Jesus) to know the truth. That truth only comes from Him. If you stay in His words seeking the Lord, He will direct your path in all things. Are both scriptures a truth, yes they are. By continuing reading of Matthew 10:35 you gain the understanding, that God refuses to be anything but first in your life. However Matthew 6:15 is more a statement of fact. If you can’t forgive someone you won’t be forgiven. This fits perfect for a plan of Satan, to set you against knowing truth and being set free by following the Lord.
Can God Help Me?
Yes He can when no one else can but you also have to be willing to change yourself. Learning to pray and for whom makes a difference. Understanding that knows your thoughts, and your heart you need to be aware of so complaining don’t help. Only God can change someone’s heart not us, but He can and will direct the path for you to be an overcomer. You will see changes but that requires people noticing and thanking the Lord for the smallest changes. Prayers can be directed differently I did write one post regarding my prayer needing to change, as it was me not the Lord. So if you are fighting with your mom or dad, try saying I hear you and I love you. We are told to love our enemy’s and that can be living under the same roof as you. God is a God of peace not arguments, so if there is no peace it is a good thing to pray for. If you are walking in peace, there is God with you that is His desire for us all.
Jeremiah 29:11 (KJV) For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end
The word peace means so much, and if you don’t look it up in the concordance you won’t know all the word means so I will end with the meaning of peace:
(figuratively) well, happy, friendly; also (abstractly) welfare, i.e. health, prosperity, peace:—× do, familiar, × fare, favour, friend, × great, (good) health, (× perfect, such as be at) peace(-able, -ably), prosper(-ity, -ous), rest, safe(-ty), salute, welfare, (× all is, be) well, × wholly.
