A Prayer to Love Our EnemiesBy Lynette Kittle "But I tell you‚ love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you" – Matthew 5:44 Have you ever been hated? If so‚ you're in good company because Jesus was perfect‚ yet He had those who hated Him to the extent of wanting Him dead. More concern should be if the world loves us because it's a sign we most likely aren't living our lives for God. As John 15:19 explains‚ it's better to be hated by the world than loved. "If you belonged to the world‚ it would love you as its own. As it is‚ you do not belong to the world‚ but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you." Most often‚ enemies come not by our choice‚ and usually‚ there isn't anything we can do to change their attitude towards us. It's birthed within their hearts and has to be extracted from the inside out. Sadly‚ it sometimes comes from within our own families who hate us because of our faith in Jesus Christ (Matthew 10:36). In these situations‚ how do we forgive those who hate us‚ much less love them? Often‚ we say we forgive‚ yet we don't feel it‚ and we certainly don't feel love for them. So‚ what do we do in these circumstances? How do we get past unforgiving and loveless feelings? It seems the call to love our enemies is misunderstood because the secular world has reduced love down to a feeling. But real love goes much deeper and often isn't a warm‚ fuzzy feeling. Real love is expressed through actions‚ which really are louder than words. Genuine love bypasses emotions and chooses to pray‚ do good‚ give‚ and even sacrifice for those who hate us. So if void of forgiving and loving feelings‚ how do we love our enemies with actions? Following are four ways to begin. 1. Pray for our enemies. As Matthew 5:44 urges‚ loving our enemies begins with prayer. 2. Do good for our enemies. Good may just start by not talking badly about them to others‚ along with making no effort to harm them in return. Like Luke 6:27 encourages‚ "But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies‚ do good to those who hate you."  3. Give to our enemies. Although they may not want us to give to them‚ even so‚ our responsibility is only to give. If they refuse or discard what we offer‚ we've have fulfilled our part. Proverbs 25:21 urges‚ "If your enemy is hungry‚ give him food to eat; if he is thirsty‚ give him water to drink." 4. Sacrifice for our enemies. Being kind and generous to someone who hates us is living sacrificially‚ it's risky knowing if we receive anything in return it most likely will be more rejection and disdain from them. Yet Luke 6:35‚ encourages‚ "But love your enemies‚ do good to them‚ and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great‚ and you will be children of the Most High‚ because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked." Let's pray: Dear Father‚Help me to love my enemies. Forgive me for any and all bad feelings and thoughts I may have had towards them. "Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin" (Psalm 51:2). Although my heart doesn't feel like offering forgiveness or extending love I want to follow Your leading and calling in my life to do so‚ and to go beyond my own feelings and emotions in this situation. "Create in me a pure heart‚ O God‚ and renew a steadfast spirit within me" (Psalm 51:10). Send Your Spirit‚ Father to move upon my heart and motivate me to show loving kindness towards those who hate me. Like Jesus said on the cross‚ help me to say‚ too‚ "Father‚ forgive them‚ for they do not know what they are doing" (Luke 23:34). Thank you‚ Father‚ for the comfort of knowing blessing comes through being hated‚ insulted‚ and rejected by others for Your name sake (Luke 6:22). Also‚ for the promise that those who are hated for your name's sake and stand firm in Your love will be saved in the end (Matthew 10:22). Help me to follow Your example in praying‚ doing good‚ giving‚ and sacrificing for my enemies.In Jesus' name‚ Amen Photo credit: ©SalemDesign/BethanyPyle Lynette Kittle is married with four daughters.

The Biden administration invoked “wartime emergency powers” to funnel $169 million taxpayer dollars to accelerate electric heat pump manufacturing at 15 sites across the country. In a joint statement with the White House‚ the Department of Energy (DOE) said “the selected projects are the first awards from DOE’s authorization‚ invoked by President Biden using emergency authority on the basis of climate change‚ to utilize the Defense Production Act (DPA) to increase domestic production of five key clean energy technologies‚ including electric heat pumps.” The Biden administration’s move is the latest attempt to phase out gas-powered residential furnaces and force Americans to use electric heat pumps. Biden invokes wartime powers to fund electric heaters as he cracks down on gas applianceshttps://t.co/mynLqj2zpIYeah‚ priorities. People‚ we have a huge problem. — OneSmallVoice (@SmilingOutrage) November 17‚ 2023 “Covered under President Biden’s Justice40 initiative and funded by the Inflation Reduction Act—the largest climate investment in history—selected projects will help build a clean energy economy‚ create good-paying manufacturing jobs‚ improve air quality‚ help families and businesses save money on their energy bills‚ and bolster national security by reducing energy resilience on foreign adversaries‚” the joint statement read. “Getting more American-made electric heat pumps on the market will help families and businesses save money with efficient heating and cooling technology‚” said U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm. “Today’s Defense Production Act funds for heat pump manufacturing show that President Biden is treating climate change as the crisis it is‚” said John Podesta‚ Senior Advisor to Joe Biden for Clean Energy Innovation and Implementation. “The President is using his wartime emergency powers under the Defense Production Act to turbocharge U.S. manufacturing of clean technologies and strengthen our energy security‚” Ali Zaidi‚ Biden’s National Climate Advisor‚ commented. “This acceleration of electric heat pump manufacturing also shows how President Biden’s Investing in America agenda is advancing American innovation‚ cutting energy bills for hardworking families‚ and tackling the climate crisis – a win‚ win for our economy‚ our workers‚ and our planet‚” he added. Many Americans don’t want electric heat pumps‚ but the Biden administration wants to seize control of the market to push the climate change agenda. I got talked into using electric heat pump technology in a structure I owned in New England. It was worthless in the winter. Garbage. https://t.co/ed2JnUxZWu — James Woods (@RealJamesWoods) November 18‚ 2023 From the Department of Energy: Heating and cooling buildings‚ homes‚ offices‚ schools‚ hospitals‚ military bases‚ and other critical facilities drive more than 35% of all U.S. energy consumption. Heat pumps efficiently provides comfortable temperatures for heating and cooling homes and businesses in all climates‚ especially when homes are well insulated‚ and can also provide more efficient water heating. When compared to gas boilers‚ heat pumps reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 50%. Electric heat pumps enable more American families and businesses to benefit from lower energy costs through American-made clean energy technologies‚ while supporting good jobs‚ reinvigorating American manufacturing‚ improving public health‚ tackling climate change. Additional savings are currently available through IRA Energy Efficient Tax Credit 25C tax credits to help consumers afford heat pumps. To learn more about savings and how heat pumps work‚ visit Pump Up Your Savings with Heat Pumps. Heat pumps are critical to reducing the nation’s reliance on fossil fuels‚ bolstering national security‚ and boosting energy independence to strengthen national defense‚ lowering consumer energy costs‚ improving energy efficiency‚ and mitigating the climate crisis. This portfolio of selections will boost manufacturing of electric heat pump (air-to-air‚ geothermal‚ and air-to-water) and key components (compressors and refrigerants) This portfolio will lead to manufacturing in 13 states. The lead organizations are listed below along with their proposed project locations and technologies. “This is absolutely shameful corporate welfare. But we’re to believe that‚ because it’s for the sake of climate change‚ all is well. I think that’s ridiculous‚” Ben Lieberman‚ a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute‚ told Fox News Digital in an interview. “Of all the Biden administration’s claimed climate emergency declarations‚ this may be the craziest of them all. There is no shortage of heat pumps — it’s just that not every homeowner wants them. Consumers ought to decide for themselves. The government has no role in tilting the balance in favor of one energy source over another. That’s clearly what’s happening here‚” he added. Fox News reports: The action Friday comes less than two months after the DOE issued new regulations targeting traditional home gas-powered furnaces as part of its climate agenda and broad effort to curb greenhouse gas emissions. DOE’s finalized regulations‚ which are slated to go into effect in 2028‚ specifically require furnaces to achieve an annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) of 95%‚ meaning manufacturers would only be allowed to sell furnaces that convert at least 95% of fuel into heat within six years. The current market standard AFUE for a residential furnace is 80%. Because of the stringent AFUE requirements‚ the regulations would largely take non-condensing gas furnaces — which are generally less efficient‚ but cheaper — off the market. But consumers who replace their non-condensing furnace with a condensing furnace after the rule is implemented face hefty installation costs. “Energy security is a top priority for AGA‚” American Gas Association President and CEO Karen Harbert told Fox News Digital on Friday. “We are deeply disappointed to see the Defense Production Act‚ which is intended as a vital tool for advancing national security against serious outside threats‚ being used as an instrument to advance a policy agenda contradictory to our nation’s strong energy position.”
