When you are faced with difficult people...

[Dhanusha]

When you are faced with difficult people.

Jesus says "love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven" (Matt 5:44-45)

"If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head" (Rom 12:20)

When you are faced with difficult people, pray: "In Jesus Name I cast out every spirit of bitterness, unforgiveness, hatred, anger and receive the spirit of love, peace and joy. I command my heart and mind to forgive (say the name of the person) and I command my heart to love them in Christ. I release this person to Jesus Christ and ask Jesus to bless this person".

God will reward you for this act of humility for the Bible says that "Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you" (James 4:10). Then remind your heart and mind that Jesus loves you and that this person does not have Jesus or the peace of Christ. The act of blessing them will release you.

It may seem hard but calling on the Name of Jesus and the Blood of Jesus will help you to do it. And there will be great release in your spirit and joy will fill your soul.

This is the supernatural act that Followers of Christ are empowered to do.

This helped me, I pray it helps you too.

God bless and Peace of Christ!

Servant of Christ,
Dhanusha

reminded of Stephen looking steadfastly to Heaven
look what became of Saul of Tarsus!

8And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people. 9Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen. 10And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake. 11Then they suborned men, which said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and against God. 12And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and caught him, and brought him to the council, 13And set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law: 14For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us. 15And all that sat in the council, looking stedfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel. Acts 6:8-15

and after Stephen spoke as he was moved by the Holy Ghost -

54When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth. 55But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, 56And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God. 57Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord, 58And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul. 59And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. 60And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep. Acts 7:54-60

and -

1And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles. 2And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him. 3As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison. Acts 8:1-3

1And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest, 2And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem. 3And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: 4And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? 5And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. 6And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do. 7And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man. 8And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus. 9And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.

10And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord. 11And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth, 12And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight. 13Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem: 14And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name. 15But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel: 16For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake. 17And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. 18And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized. 19And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.

20And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God. 21But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests? 22But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ. Acts 9:1-22

Pastor Frank put it this way: The next time someone cuts you will you bleed Jesus? If we show them Jesus, we show them Love, and that can make all the difference. Sometimes folks like that are there specifically to help you grow; they are what is called Holy Ghost sandpaper, used to smooth your rough edges.

When you are faced with difficult people.

Jesus says "love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven" (Matt 5:44-45)

"If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head" (Rom 12:20)

When you are faced with difficult people, pray: "In Jesus Name I cast out every spirit of bitterness, unforgiveness, hatred, anger and receive the spirit of love, peace and joy. I command my heart and mind to forgive (say the name of the person) and I command my heart to love them in Christ. I release this person to Jesus Christ and ask Jesus to bless this person".

God will reward you for this act of humility for the Bible says that "Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you" (James 4:10). Then remind your heart and mind that Jesus loves you and that this person does not have Jesus or the peace of Christ. The act of blessing them will release you.

It may seem hard but calling on the Name of Jesus and the Blood of Jesus will help you to do it. And there will be great release in your spirit and joy will fill your soul.

@Dhanusha

Amen sister thank you so much for that

Its so easy to love people who are good to us and we can look so kind and tender......but to love those who aggravate us, those that annoy us, our enemies....the flesh and pride fights so hard against it.

O Lord give us tender forgiving hearts remembering the mercy and grace You had for us....May Your love shine through and may we be a blessing to all those people we meet day by day.

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me
Philippians 4:13
