How we should react to unfair accusations

[mmmtacos]

I don't throw my pearls before swine for one thing. Like at work. There are many heathenistic ppl there. Now I don't go around creating situations for them to jump on me. But if I get a chance to provide love and compassion for one of them I will do it.

As far as the WOF in general being ridiculed, I don't have an answer for that. It's gonna happen.

What is the most hard to take for me is when other church folk hammer us. That's just mean.

It is so easy for things that you say and do to be taken wrongly. Have you ever expressed love only to have it taken as condesention or sarcasm?
Very difficult to deal with. Pains of rejection.

amen to that!
reading back over what i've written after receiving such an accusation makes me shake my head in wonder at the author of such accusations, and how they could so misread what was written.

i agree, it is hard. But on the other hand it gives us a chance to understand how Jesus felt when it happened to Him. The only thing i want to ask is 'how many of these opportunities do i need to experience, Lord?'

and i'll bet that God's answer is 'enough to keep your mouth shut and just love them anyway."

"Blessed are you when men revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account." Matt. 5:11

HI YITZCHAK

really liked the parts about......
"we identify ourselves by what the WORD of GOD says".......

"don't argue with people....just be consistent and stick to what we believe"....

"i don't receive that....i only receive (i am defined by) what GOD says about me".......

"be word of faith about it"......

makes me think of "speak to the mountain and tell it to move into the sea".....take spiritual authority and REMOVE spiritual darkness.......and then......CREATE SPIRITUAL LIGHT......

call things that are not as though they are....."GOD causes even my enemies to be at peace with me"....."my vindication comes from the LORD"......"no weapon formed against me shall prosper"......call in the LIGHT......CREATE GOD'S TRUTH in the situation by using our mouths to speak HIS WORD.....change the natural using the power of the SPIRIT of GOD.....

your words Yitzchak caused me to see.....don't waste time and energy reacting to the people....focus time and energy on PRO-ACTing .......remove spiritual darkness and then create GOD'S LIGHT....
excellent word Yitzchak
excellent thread didaskalos

I got those ideas from listening to Keith Moore. His preaching is really anointed and it works. I tested it out in a few situations and it was like day and night. It brought freedom because my focus was on what God says about my situation rather then an argument between me and another person.

It really helped to say it out loud too. Not sure why but it added power to it. Just thinking it was good , but saying it out loud was even better.
