30. copyright source of light ministries international 2011 30  1. We must be sure that our spirit is right. "If ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above (from God), but is earthly, sensual, devilish (from Satan)." James 3:14,15

31. copyright source of light ministries international 2011 31  2. We must control our tongue. "The tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind: But the tongue can no man tame; IT IS AN UNRULY EVIL, FULL OF DEADLY POISON." James 3:6-8

32. copyright source of light ministries international 2011 32  3. We must care enough to listen.  4. We must try honestly to see things from the other person's point of view.

"Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath aught against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way ; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. " Matthew 5:23,24

34. copyright source of light ministries international 2011 34  1. Take full responsibility for my offense, laying no blame to anyone else.  2. Name the offense.  3. Ask the person to forgive me and wait for his answer.  4. Make proper restitution.

"Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother." Matthew 18:15

36. copyright source of light ministries international 2011 36  The basic rule in handling offenses is to go to the person alone and make things right. "Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him." Luke 17:3

37. copyright source of light ministries international 2011 37  ENMITY AND BARRIERS Barriers are like a “wall” between people.

38. copyright source of light ministries international 2011 38

39. copyright source of light ministries international 2011 39  Christ suffered and died to do away with all enmity and barriers between believers.

40. copyright source of light ministries international 2011 40 The attitude of rejecting a person prevents God's love from flowing through you to that person. The attitude of receiving a person allows God's love to flow through you to that person.

41. copyright source of light ministries international 2011 41  Obedience is the way of blessing.  Whatever God is speaking to you about, will you obey Him?
