Isaiah 63:4  For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.
Romans 12:19  Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
 
Ro 12:1
¶ I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
Ro 12:2
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Ro 12:3
For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
Ro 12:4
For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:
Ro 12:5
So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
Ro 12:6
Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;
Ro 12:7
Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;
Ro 12:8
Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
Ro 12:9
Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
Ro 12:10
Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
Ro 12:11
Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
Ro 12:12
Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
Ro 12:13
Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
Ro 12:14
Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
Ro 12:15
Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
Ro 12:16
Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
Ro 12:17
Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
Ro 12:18
If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
Ro 12:19
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Ro 12:20
Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
Ro 12:21
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
 
 "And be not conformed to this world."
--Romans 12:2
 If a Christian can by possibility be saved while he conforms to this world, at any rate it must be so as by fire. Such a bare salvation is almost as much to be dreaded as desired. Reader, would you wish to leave this world in the darkness of a desponding death bed, and enter heaven as a shipwrecked mariner climbs the rocks of his native country? then be worldly; be mixed up with Mammonites, and refuse to go without the camp bearing Christ's reproach. But would you have a heaven below as well as a heaven above? Would you comprehend with all saints what are the heights and depths, and know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge? Would you receive an abundant entrance into the joy of your Lord? Then come ye out from among them, and be ye separate, and touch not the unclean thing. Would you attain the full assurance of faith? you cannot gain it while you commune with sinners. Would you flame with vehement love? your love will be damped by the drenchings of godless society. You cannot become a great Christian--you may be a babe in grace, but you never can be a perfect man in Christ Jesus while you yield yourself to the worldly maxims and modes of business of men of the world. It is ill for an heir of heaven to be a great friend with the heirs of hell. It has a bad look when a courtier is too intimate with his king's enemies. Even small inconsistencies are dangerous. Little thorns make great blisters, little moths destroy fine garments, and little frivolities and little rogueries will rob religion of a thousand joys. O professor, too little separated from sinners, you know not what you lose by your conformity to the world. It cuts the tendons of your strength, and makes you creep where you ought to run. Then, for your own comfort's sake, and for the sake of your growth in grace, if you be a Christian, be a Christian, and be a marked and distinct one.
 
Holding painful and hurtful things in our hearts, that people have done to us will keep us from giving our whole heart to God and being a complete Christian. We must have forgiveness in our heart for those who wronged us, inorder to have peace.
 
Oh, how precious the blood of Christ to such hearts as ours! How priceless a gift is His perfect righteousness! And how bright the hope of perfect holiness hereafter! Even now, though sin dwells in us, its power is broken. It has no dominion; it is a broken-backed snake; we are in bitter conflict with it, but it is with a vanquished foe that we have to deal. Yet a little while and we shall enter victoriously into the city where nothing defileth.
 
Give your whole heart and vengeance to the Lord today, right now, this moment. He will give you peace of mind, heart and soul. He will be your joy and strength and he will avenge your enemy on judgement day.
Peace be with you, in the name of the Lord. Amen! God bless, love Betty

Through the years in my walk with the Lord I have seen with mine own eyes the result of...

(The Vengeance of the Lord) on my behalf. If we do not render evil for evil but place the wrong that someone has done, into the Lords hands he will repay according to his will. For he weights everything in a just balance.

The last time the Lord repaid a wrong done to me was last year.

I had to have my car worked on and the man I usually took it to was too busy to get to it right away, so I took it to someone else. The man charged me 115.00 for work that I knew for ‘a fact�?he had not done. I told him “You and I both know that you have robbed me, you have not touched my car.�?he said, “are you calling me a thief�?I replied, “You are a thief and a liar.�?I told him “Not only am I going to pay you the 115.00 but I am going to pray for you and put this matter in the Lords hand, and he will deal with it as he sees fit.�?/FONT>

I happened to drive by one week later and his shop had gone out of business, and it is still closed today. If God be for us who can be against us!? And if we do as Jesus ask us to in Matthew-- to pray for those who despitefully use you. He will make right all wrongs done to us. Because he is a Just God!
