It is never the big attacks from the enemy that do the most damage. We prepare ourselves for those. When they come we know how to stand and wield our swords. Our shields at the ready, for the flaming darts of the enemy. No, those are not the ones, to can cripple us. But it’s those from w/in the camp, caused by a slight or completely by mistake. Another took something wrong, so they then feel justified and empowered to strike out. When we betray each other in the Body of Christ, we need to be careful and understand the ramifications of our actions. We do not have the blessing of God to behave in such a manner. We are held accountable by God, in our actions to His Children. Having as many kids as Arnette and I do, we have always had and to this day, we have the he said she said thing. If we were in the car when they were young, and something started up, a familiar response to many I am sure is, “I don’t care who started it, I know who is going to end it !!” Or, if someone did something to one of our children, and because of that one, of our children did something wrong. And we would have to get onto that child, they would say, “But Dad they did this first.” I would have to say, “ I’m not their Dad, I’m yours and what you did was wrong.” I am sure you know, if by being a parent or child, what their response would be, (say it w/ me) ”That is Not Fair !!!” Fair has nothing to do w/ being a parent, being a parent has to do w/ responsibility. Wanting your child to be the best she/he can be, that should always be the goal. That goal comes from our Heavenly Father, He wants us to be the best we can be, no matter the cost. He proved that, in His example w/ Jesus. God showed us that, whatever the cost, He Loves us and wants the best for us. In many of things I have been sharing of late, I am vulnerable to and have been attacked, and I have seen others attacked. After those times then not wanting to be apart of anything. Then enemy wants to accuse us and, convince us and others if you are not perfect do not share advice. If we were to live to that thought, silence would everywhere. Wisdom is wisdom, and it can and is expressed in many places. Yet still, the temptation not to share things from God because, few things in my life are perfected or, stellar examples of a life given to Jesus. My heart is true, but my flesh has opinions and wants to be considered in things. Yet, obedience is better then sacrifice. I would rather obey now, then to say sorry later. We have a responsible to each other but, we answer to God. If and or when I offend you, come to me and we will find peace and agreement. But, do not sneak around and slander my name. Do not hide insults in compliments or comments, that will expose you and leave you at the will of the enemy. When we are in obedience we are under protection however, when we begin to do the work of the enemy, we remove ourselves from that protection. And I don’t want any harm to come to you, no matter the reason. Unto Jesus the One that we serve.
