Are you living with the consequences of #idolatry?
Consequences are not judgement/punishment (Jude 14,15).
It is still the acceptable year of the Lord (Isaiah 61:2).
Consequences are the harvest of our choices (Galatians 6:7,8; Hosea 8:7).
Negative consequences are designed by God to be corrective (Hebrews 12:5,11).
The list below is not exhaustive.
There are 3 ways to violate the 1st rule of building #GoodRelationships. Each way automatically leads to demonic bondage.
#idolatry
@farmerjohn because #idolatry makes a person blind

@DevotionalTreasures amen
@auntcindyTOO unfortunately the heart of this problem lies in demonic bondage and medical/biological methods aren't the solution. Both the victim and perpetrator are victims (John 10:10). On one hand active prayer teams can protect children (male and female) from rape. Molesting someone is the easiest way to transfer demons into that person's life. The victim easily becomes promiscuous and is pushed by demons to self destruction (consider Luke 8:33). Children are a threat to Satan see Psalm 8:2. Women are also a threat to Satan (Psalm 68:11).

if interested.
The perpetrator has either been a victim of sexual crime or fed sexual appetites -deliverance is the solution if the person is committed to obeying Christ.
@Knittinggrace I use 2 Timothy 1:14 as my basis for asking the Holy Spirit to specifically guard my treasures. I no longer hope that things will be well I actively pray for it. If it could go wrong I pray against it. It is my responsibility as an heir of God to manage my affairs as an overcomer as opposed to a victim. It is my personal responsibility but due to my relationship with Christ I can engage the Holy Spirit's help. This is life in stressful times without the stress.
@KarlGessler Christ has the power to bring everything under His control (Philippians 3:21). ...the kingdom of this world has become the kingdom of our Lord and His Messiah (Revelation 11:15). You get it- I get it, praise the Lord!
Others? Until we believe God's report we won't see His arm at work (Isaiah 53:1). Until we know our God we won't be capable of great exploits (Daniel 11:32). Until we become like the children of Isaachar we won't understand the times nor know what to do (1 Chronicles 12:32).
@Asianking thank you for serving the King
@Jorge something the Lord said to me years ago is so relevant today. Only 2 inputs are needed for ministry: the Spirit of God and the Word of God
@Chidiotamiri thanks for your insights
@erdenpilger
Please look at my posts on #fellowship and #GoodRelationships.
The issue is really about depth of teaching. Without teaching from the throne room people will not be convicted and the struggles with relationship and fellowship will remain. Over time I will add to the series and followers would get a clearer picture of how to build good relationship. Alternatively the impatient can get the books on relationship from https://ireade.page.tl

Sometimes limited knowledge is the real division...
May the eyes of our understanding be enlightened so that we can function as the unified Church we are.
#GoodRelationships need a healthy input from my emotions.
Sadness says something or someone valuable has been lost.
Feelings are good. If I don't know what my feelings are telling me I will experience stress in my #relationships.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 Explains how a relationship with the living #Christ helps me in grief.
