I think some and for some they literally strive for strife in their lives…without failing to realize that the word of God says that where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work..James 3:16…we are not supposed to be involved in strife…nor are we supposed to live our lives every other week being offended and being hurt by what she said and he said…if you get my drift today…we are to be stable..and we are to know who we are in Christ..and I believe that when people get tired of all of this pity drama that comes in their lives..and I mean really tired of it…then it will stop…cause when Jesus came to give us a life and life abundant as well we all have to understand what the rest of that scripture says…it says that the enemy he as well came to kill, steal and to destroy us…John 10:10…so when we know these things then we as well know that we have to keep our guards up..and we have to be the ones in whom guards our lives…and by guarding I mean everything..when you begin to get confused…and angry..and mad..and so forth…you got to stop yourself and get away to that quiet place and seek out God and His wisdom…and then you choose what it is that is bringing all of this mess in your life and in your home…for our homes should be a place of rest and peace…should represent Christ when others walk in there to our homes…they should welcoming..they should be a place of comfort…a place of joy..and guys if you allow people to continually hurt you and your life..than they will continue doing so….for some the word says that there is seasons in life..where people come for just a moment..not everyone is meant to stay with you for your whole journey…people change..and if your changing and others are not..and they continually keep dragging you down…pulling you down and manipulating you…I would say that it’s time to separate yourself from that stuff…for we will never rise higher when our lives are continually being pulled into nothing more then a bunch of craziness….so don’t live your life being unfulfilled…and don’t live your life for people letting them deceive you…because people are very good at deceiving others…so be wise..and pray for discernment…pray for wisdom..for Jesus says if any of us lack it for us to ask of Him and He would give it to us…James 1:5..and understand that yes, that ole devil doesn’t always come as some portray him…it’s not all this evil looking red horned creature as some think that he is…for the devil was once an angel..and he ministered in the heavens he was over the music..imagine that…but he wanted it all and the Lord ended up kicking him out with other fallen angels into this world in which we all live now..Revelation 12:7-9..so understand that the devil works through people…that’s why we choose to do our very best daily…to serve Christ..and to live our lives pleasing the Lord…never to harm, hurt or lie on anyone..but always helping, lifting, loving and encouraging everyone it is that we meet along lives way…for the word says that we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against rulers of the darkness of this world against spiritual wickednesses in high places..so the Lord put on the whole armor of God…Ephesians 6:12-13…and keep it on…be wise as a serpent but as gentle as a lamb…for we are children of the most high God..and we are all in war…so we keep ourselves prayed up continually…for that is the will of God is Christ Jesus for each of us..1 Thessalonians 5:17-18…because prayer is what changes…prayer is what gets God on the scene…Hallelujah…I love that song that goes like this…It’s just amazing at what a prayer can do…It’s moved mountains, parted rivers…brought the dead to life again..I’ve called upon an ole prayer warrior a time or two…if your in trouble I’ll go down on my bended knees for you…It’s just amazing at what a prayer can do…so always pray…for God fights our battles for us..2 Chronicles 20:17..and prayer is what gets things changing and moving guys in the direction that the Lord would so be desiring that they go…so let us all choose peace…choose love…choose joy..and choose to separate ourselves from anything that is bringing hurt, harm or confusion to us and or our lives…In Jesus’ name, I do ask and pray…Amen and Amen…Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
