    It is very difficult to allow someone to slap you in the face without some form of retaliation. I believe it takes the power of the Holy Spirit that dwells within us to empower us to do this.

    pls advise how about looking into those days when Jesus was spoke this words, the culture was different when u stand infront of a person when that person strike n slap your left or right cheek, if u give them the other cheek they cannot use the same hand to slap due to position and also those days culture forbids ti sue the other hand to do things if u are right or left handed(eg slapping. Its like a low cast if u do that.pls advise
