#Rule9 #GoodRelationships #Envy
Envy made this home competitive. How might competition damage a relationship?
The purpose of a relationship is to renew strength. Envy and competition defeat the purpose of relationship.
The rule of envy in building good relationships tells me what others possess is outside of my realm of control. Envy signals what is outside of my realm of control. When envy exists I ask God to reveal what is missing from my life.
#Rule #GoodRelationships #Proactivechoices
It is healthy to have a reaction to issues but this is not the end of the journey. It requires maturity to go beyond the reaction to reach out in love despite what may have been done.
There is a difference between hurting and harming someone. Often times we fail to act for fear of hurting others. Yet in doing nothing that person is harmed in the long run. If I act feelings may temporarily be hurt, but if the advice is taken on board, later on the person is better for the journey.
Tough love helps build good relationships. The most dysfunctional relationships are often formed by nice people. God is not nice He is kind.
Continuing on the series #GoodRelationships. #Rule6
In building good relattionships it is neccessary to examine the hidden motives which drive dysfunction in my relationships.
Investigate which persons, cities, people groups, and countries have been hardest hit to date. What do they have in common?
The only way to ride the waves is to flee idolatry. God will not be mocked even by His own Church. Count the costs of idolatry to determine if you and your family can afford to pay.
Revelation 22 lists those who are unable to enter God's city because of dirty robes. Many violate the 5 sins of idolatry, but Exodus 20:4 is either ignored, unknown or blatantly rejected. If you are an object of wrath because of idolatry you cannot escape. COVID19 is not judgement it is correction. God rejects idolatry and calls for repentance Acts 17:22-31 - ignorance of God's word is no excuse.
#Rule5
In building #GoodRelationships I acknowledge that I have limits and do not allow others to push me beyond those coping limits.
I also recognize that I must respect the limits of others.
#RespectingLimits
#Power #Powerless
In building #GoodRelationships I must acknowledge and do what is in my power to do.
I should not focus on what I am powerless to do.
Summary of posts so far:
#GoodRelationships (heirs, emotions, rules, violating rule 1, fences)
#Fellowship (relationships at Church)
#Prayer
#Passover
#Ethics
#Prophecy
This post relates to #GoodRelationships.
#Rule3
In building #GoodRelationships we must separate what we are responsible for and what we are not #responsible for.
We are only responsible for what we can change.
#Fear #Prophecy #Revelation
Luke 21:26
The book of Revelation contains the timetables of prophecy events. There is no contradiction in Scripture -only in man's understanding. One timetable concerns the Church and the other Israel and the nations.
We are in the final stages of the year of God's favour (Isaiah 61). The Church must complete its work now. As long as the Holy Spirit remains assigned to the earth we have a fighting chance.
THE RAPTURE occurs in Revelation 11. The beast cannot be revealed before the Holy Spirit is removed. The beast is revealed in Revelation 13. Only then will the mark of the beast be introduced. Stop reacting in fear. You have been given the timetables years in advance. Get on with your work. This is what you have control over. The mark of the beast connects worship with trade.
Also note God's universe is ordered. He alone determines times, seasons and population deaths (Acts 1:7; 17:26,27,30-31; Revelation 6:7,8)
#Rule2 of #GoodRelationships: law of #sowing and reaping
Life in God's universe is fair. Good sown-good reaped, evil sown-evil reaped.
I can speak out or take action when things are wrong in my relationships. But ultimately when others fail to listen, I can release them to reap what they are sowing.
It's like shaking off the dust of my feet when folks fail to receive the good news.
So far I explored:
God's way of building relationship
The 1st rule of building #GoodRelationships
How we violate rule 1
The purpose of our #emotions
Now I explore:
#fences
Rules 2-11
You can obtain a copy of the book, Living with fences, US $ 5 from ireade.page.tl
The material covered here comes from this book.
#prayer
We know the timetable - the 7 Jewish feasts (#Passover)
We know the plan set in motion before the foundation of the world (#heirs) -bring many sons to glory
We know the events and were given clues - prophecy
Why? Because we are not expected to be passive observers, helpless or clueless...
Having the mind of Christ we can actively intervene for God in the chess game. Not as reactors but ahead of the moves on the world stage. The Spirit of God is ahead -so keep up. Our responses are meant to be proactive not reactive.
The intelligence this platform is giving you is not to discourage you or overwhelm you, but to help you know the players so that you can predict and intercept theirs moves. WHY? Because despite the challenges many sons have to come to glory.
