When you are gentle to others, you are displaying a part of My character. You may think that I was not gentle towards the Pharisees and scribes when I walked on earth. I knew when I addressed those who came against Me that I was dealing with the spirit of Anti-Christ. I had to be forceful.
Remember always that you are not wrestling against flesh and blood, but you are wrestling against principalities, powers, rulers of darkness and wickedness in heavenly places. Every battle is a spiritual battle. This is why you should never take things personally when people come against you.
Understand that it is the spirit within them or one that is influencing them that comes against you.
This is why I exhorted My followers to pray for their enemies.
As much as possible, be gentle and kind to all. However, when you are confronted with an opposing spirit that hates Me, that is time for you to aggressively confront that spirit in prayer. You are to bless and pray for your enemies and then do your warfare in prayer.
