AMO 5:13 Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time.
AMO 5:14 Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken.
AMO 5:15 Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.
AMO 5:16 Therefore the LORD, the God of hosts, the LORD, saith thus; Wailing shall be in all streets
That belief will get uou stuck and attached to evil.
Hatred attaches us and gives up our individual control to that which we hate.
Love sets us free.
This is why Jesus said that it is better to Love our enemies.
When I do exorcisms and spirit releasement work, it is the Love radiating through me that evil is most afraid of, and it is that Love that drives out evil.
Evil tries to make me hate them as in doing so, I lower myself to their level and give them control.

9 I saw the Lord standing by the altar, and He said:
โStrike the [aa]doorposts, that the thresholds may shake,
And break them on the heads of them all.
I will slay the last of them with the sword.
He who flees from them shall not get away,
And he who escapes from them shall not be delivered.
2
โThough they dig into [ab]hell,
From there My hand shall take them;
Though they climb up to heaven,
From there I will bring them down;
3
And though they hide themselves on top of Carmel,
From there I will search and take them;
Though they hide from My sight at the bottom of the sea,
From there I will command the serpent, and it shall bite them;
4
Though they go into captivity before their enemies,
From there I will command the sword,
And it shall slay them.
I will set My eyes on them for harm and not for good.โ
5
The Lord God of hosts,
He who touches the earth and it melts,
And all who dwell there mourn;
All of it shall swell like [ac]the River,
And subside like the River of Egypt.
6
He who builds His layers[ad] in the sky,
And has founded His strata in the earth;
Who calls for the waters of the sea,
And pours them out on the face of the earthโ
The Lord is His name.
Love the good, hate the evil, pray for both equally. ๐๐
But love is the hatred of evil, or the hatred of evil is one aspect of love, it seems to me.
Hatred originates in fear. Perfect Love casts out fear.
Hatred and fear are two words that are commonly misinterpreted. It’s impossible to fear God unless you are embracing evil.
The great lie of evil is that God’s Love and Light will kill you. That is how evil shackles human souls.
Actually, God’s Love and Light sets you free.
