How would you like for everyone to get along with you...even your enemies?
Many of us deal with certain individuals in our lives that bring havoc every time they show their face around us. You know who I am talking about, those people that you try at all cost to avoid.

God's word is very plain in that if we are going to experience REAL Revival we must have a heart that even reaches out to our enemies. But He does offer us help.

Proverbs 16:7 - "When a man's ways are pleasing to the Lord He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him."

Notice there is a condition for us. We must make sure that all of our ways are pleasing to the Lord. Not just some - but all. The promise is that when they are, God does a miraculous thing in causing our enemies to be at peace with us. You may say, "I don't think they will go along with that too much."
You talk like they have a choice. When God gets a hold of people, they do things and then have ask the question later in "why did I just do that?".

God says if you will honor and trust Him with everything in your life He will do even greater things for you. Even cause those people that bring havoc to your life to change their ways. While you have been spending time praying, "God do something with them", God has been waiting on you to honor His word in making all of your paths straight to Him.

You will be amazed at how quickly God will respond and deal with "those" people when you get serious about getting your life in line with Him.

Prayer: "God, help us not to be so focused on trying to change other people but rather spend our time allowing you to change us."
