There are times when I know exactly what God wants me to do, but I feel this person is wrong for doing this to me so I'm going to let them have it, then I feel terrible, you are right it is a battle, because I feel all battered about it. <br /><br />I'm going to keep praying. I always think in my heart and more than likely it's the Holy Spirit bringing this to my memory, also probably convicting me through the scripture that talks about the man who looks in the mirror at his natural face then walks away and forgets what type of man he is, I think it's in James. I always say in my heart, I don't want to be that guy, but honestly I've been that guy when I get upset, when I feel i've been treated unfairly, I feel like I become the same thing I really don't want to be, the very thing I fear. I thank God for meeting people like you and Kelline and others I know His Holy Spirit is speaking to me through. <br /><br />God is so loving He tries many different ways to get a message across to us. Can you believe I just came out of a Bible study group and they had a handout and the topic was "the attitude of gratitude", how amazing is that. I was just telling you how the tenant who lives here is ungrateful. I am in awe of how amazing God is, I think now I'm starting to put all the pieces together as to what God is trying to tell me. Thank you again sister, I pray God continues to bless and guide you, I pray He continues to guide us all.S.

The battle is spiritual and the enemy is the one who wants us to live and think according to the carnal mind. One of the first scriptures the Lord gave me in order to help me in this battle was 'take every thought into captivity'. It is contained within 'We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.' 2 Corinthians ch.10 v.5. Another scripture He gave me was 'Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him and He will make your paths straight.' I began to realize that the thief was coming into my mind and trying to rob me of my salvation, of having my mind renewed in Christ Jesus. It was then that I could see that we do not sin against one another, we are actually being encouraged by the enemy to sin against God because those 'retaliation' and 'justification' thoughts are going against how God is telling us to react. There are times when we have to go to one another when we have something against a person or they against us, and there are times when we must make no friends with an angry man, but we gradually come to know those times through the Holy Spirit's teachings. I and probably all other Christians are, and have gone through, all the testings that you are going through, and if we see it as a spiritual battle it becomes much easier. It is very easy to love those who love us, that is what the flesh does. The real test comes when those who 'irritate' us are brought into our lives. As I communicate with God and come to know His voice what I realize more and more is that He is bringing me out of my 'carnal prison' into total freedom. Why should we let the devil win eh? If Jesus loved me enough to hang on that cross,not keeping a record of my wrongs, then I want to know that kind of love in my heart. <br />God bless you in your trials. Don't let the devil win.<br /> Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16165344093549650260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1390138612820070904.post-35482962408295381712012-11-20T11:06:08.148-08:002012-11-20T11:06:08.148-08:00This post was so great, reminds me of the post you...This post was so great, reminds me of the post you did after this what I read last night about you and the car park debacle lol. We really got to wait for the Lord, just trust in Him. I have read on several different occasions this week and last week about the flesh needing to die, I think it's a message to me. I get so frustrated and easily annoyed with people, mostly people my age, a lot of the young adults in the church group I'm in, when I see them say foolish things and then claim they're Christians it annoys me but I try to hold my tongue and not burst out saying things I more than likely will regret. <br /><br />I realized I need to be more patient, and loving, and kind, and like mentioned in Micah I need to love mercy and walk humbly with God. For a young person that's hard, for anybody that's hard I guess, but like you mentioned in this post, if we could see things through Our Lord Jesus eyes perhaps we would react differently to things. <br /><br />What makes me sad is when I know better, I still do what I feel is right. I know what I'm suppose to do in a situation but i find myself constantly justifying wicked acts over and over gain in my head saying well, he was rude so he deserves this or they're foolish so they deserve this, or they're selfish and insensitive so I'm not wrong for acting this way, and I go on to do thing's I shouldn't afterward the Holy Spirit convicts me and I start feeling so bad even to tears. <br /><br />I think i'm hasty when i do many things, I never wait and hardly listen to the Holy Spirit, I know my flesh needs to die because many times I see myself walking according to it when I know I'm suppose to be walking in the Holy Spirit. <br /><br />And you know what's worse, I feel like a complete hypocrite afterwards, I'm telling people how the Lord wants them to act yet many times I'm not doing it myself, perhaps I'm still a babe in Christ, I'm not even sure. But This post made me think a lot about my walk with Jesus and all the areas I need work. I don't want to be like a whitewash tomb, pretty and clean and white on the outside but on the inside the exact opposite. <br /><br />It feels so hard sometimes, and I wonder why does it feel this way, Jesus said His yolk is light, yet sometimes I feel like this is really really hard, how can I love a rude person, how can I love somebody who is insensitive and mean, somebody who can't see kindness if it was on the tip of their nose. All I know for sure is I want to please God and I'm trying my best, but there is so much I still don't get at all. S.

There are things which happened to God's Israel as a whole and the individuals within, that reflect as both warnings and encouragement for us today. The word of God is alive in Jesus. Praise His lovely name.<br />God bless you.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16165344093549650260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1390138612820070904.post-57088962244281121322012-11-10T19:04:28.703-08:002012-11-10T19:04:28.703-08:00Hi Brenda,
