We purpose and choose to repent for agreeing with any accusing spirit. We repent for entertaining the lie that our voice is unwanted, that our prayers are useless, and that our opinions do not matter. Our Father gave us a voice to speak the truth, to shine a light in the darkness. Father, we choose to lay down any vain imagination and any residue of anger, resentment, or bitterness. FORGIVE us Father for being so easily triggered or offended. We choose to forgive ourselves as we listen intently to the Spirit within us. We can not control the frown on a listening face or a disapproving look. However, we are responsible for acknowledging our reaction to it. We choose to bless our listening audience with grace and peace.

Heavenly Father, only You are perfect, and perfect love casts out fear. Father, forgive us for fearing the opinions of others above Your approval of us. The Liar whispers “nobody likes you, and your opinion is not wanted.” We quickly choose to cancel Satan’s plot to silence our voice. We stop the craziness of vain imaginations and invite the Holy Spirit to heal our hearts and to renew our minds. Whatever the Holy Spirit reveals in us, He heals. Hallelujah!

We effectively banish Satan’s influence and stop the firery darts flung by the unloving spirit with our shield of FAITH in the finished work of Jesus. One prayer does not finish Satan’s plot to kill and destroy. Therefore, we remain vigilant and stand guard of our hearts. Humbly, we ask God to forgive us for any bitterness held for a wrongly perceived facial expression; a tone of voice, or a different opinion. Our Father apportioned each of His kids with at least one talent or more. Our one talent must not be compared to the many talents of others. Our Father created us for His purpose, and He loves us all equally. We choose to celebrate all talent and work together for His glory. We employ the armor God gave us to stand in victory.

1 Corinthians 15:58 “Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.” Our Father tells us the truth. “If at all possible, live peaceably among one another.” Our Lord’s prayer requires that we forgive first ourselves and then others that we may be forgiven by our Father. Blessed by Obedience

2 Kings 5 A story about a man of action and Naaman was his name. He was a great man in the sight of his master and highly regarded, because through him the Lord had given victory. He was a valiant soldier, BUT he had leprosy. God used a leper to teach us about being quick to listen and obey. God will use our excuses, our problems to instruct us in His way. Naaman expected God to perform according to his reputation. We are to fully listen when God speaks, and do what He says quickly. The story tells us that Naaman went away in anger and in a rage. Naaman got triggered and a friend exhorted him to act as the Lord instructed. In his obedience, Naaman was freed from leprosy. A physical skin disease is seen, but a spiritual tug of war within us is unseen. Any bitternesss eats away God’s peace. Be patient, kind, forgiving, always trusting, and bring whatever triggers us, before the Lord. May God get a victory as He works through us. Our blessing comes to us as we apply the Word of God.
