CEASE EVIL BEHAVIORS AND SUBMIT TOTALLY TO GOD

October 15

hild of God, do you know what it means to have an “attitude?" Many of my children spoil their testimony of the Lord Jesus because of the poor way that they come across to others. This is mostly unknown to the Christian who responds this way. Often the "attitude" comes because there is unresolved anger or resentment within a person toward someone. It can also come forth through an attitude in which they feel superior to others. People sometimes act in condescending ways toward spouses and others. As a Christian you are responsible for the way in which you are perceived by others. This attitude towards others is sin in the life of the believer! One must repent in the name of Jesus if this is discovered. You may ask, "Am I blind that I cannot see this?" There is a certain blindness as well as pleasure which come through this attitude and action which accompanies it. The children of God know that blatant outright meanness is inappropriate, so these harsh, angry attitudes tend to slip past the conscious mind and reveal themselves in exchanges with others. I urge you to pray and ask the Father, "Am I mean toward my wife/husband/children/others?" I want you to be kind toward all people.” You may be going about wounding many by your unwilling stubbornness to control your attitude. This is sin! Again, all my children should pray, "Search my heart O God, and see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in a path everlasting." (Psalm 139: 23) Are you willing to be healed of this? You know, if this is true about you, then you need to be healed, forgiven and restored! Again, perhaps you have found a reason or excuse for this way of treating others. Your Father will accept no excuses for this evil behavior! "Be kind, one to another tenderhearted, preferring one another in love!" (Romans 12:10) What does that mean? Just what it says, and nothing short of that will ever please your Heavenly Father. You say, "I am not like this!" Perhaps someone has treated you in this manner? Your responsibility is to forgive this person and not to quietly resent them and develop a bitter root of sinful anger. Their sin can become your sin. Watch out!

Prayer

Father, I have operated in pride. I have been hurt and angry toward the difficult people in my life. I have angrily pointed my finger and refused to let them go with genuine forgiveness. Help me Lord. I cannot change others, but I can sure bring myself under the precious blood of Jesus in true repentance in His name. I will do just that, in Jesus holy name, amen! And, Father, I have hurt others with my harshness and quiet, hidden anger and meanness. I will not live one more day like this. In the name of Jesus, I repent and ask your forgiveness, In Jesus’ name amen!
