Summary
This sermon explores the concept of hatred as both a destructive and constructive force. Bro Mike explains how Satan’s uncontrolled hatred has repeatedly led to his own downfall, citing examples like the murder of Stephen, Charlie Kirk, and ultimately Jesus Christ. When Satan acts out of pure hatred, he makes strategic mistakes that actually advance God’s kingdom. The sermon emphasizes that while negative hatred destroys, positive hatred – hating sin, sickness, and the devil’s works – can become a powerful spiritual gift that motivates believers to fight against evil and minister to others.
Bro Mike challenges believers to develop what he calls ‘the gift of hate’ – a godly hatred for everything the devil does to hurt people. This righteous hatred becomes the motivation for spiritual warfare and ministry, enabling Christians to destroy the works of the devil in their families and communities. The sermon concludes with the reminder that believers are called to be God’s hands extended, serving as conduits of the Holy Spirit to heal and deliver others.
Intro Prayer
Heavenly Father, we come before You today with open hearts and minds, ready to receive what You want to teach us through Your Word. We ask that You would help us understand the difference between destructive hatred and the righteous hatred that motivates us to fight against evil. Open our hearts to receive the spiritual gifts You want to give us, and help us to be receptive to Your Holy Spirit’s leading in our discussion today. Give us wisdom and discernment as we explore these truths together. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
