Overlook Patterns or Confront Them?
KATHY GABLER—Do we overlook destructive behavior and negative emotional patterns that may sabotage a loved one or confront them? There is no pat answer. The place to start is prayer. One prayer I have seen God answer many times is, “Lord, please change them or change me so your peace can cover this relationship.” We can trust His wisdom and His faithfulness to address the problems in wise timing. What we cannot do with behavior or personality issues is fight fire with fire. Fighting negative behavior with negative behavior is using a carnal weapon that does not pull down strongholds. Nor will any good fruit come from confronting others out of frustration rather than love. While we should not presume to confront without God’s instruction, neither should we be too cowardly to talk it out if He so directs. We can be confident that the place to start is prayer. Then we follow God’s instructions and timing to a God-outcome of healthy and meaningful and fulfilling relationships.

Times of Confronting
KATHY—Days of Elijah were times of confronting governmental powers that be.
Elijah showed up in 1 Kings 17 to confront the puppet king of Israel with a proclamation: “I’m a servant of the living LORD, the God of Israel. And I swear in His name that it won’t rain until I say so. There won’t even be any dew on the ground.” Beyond the forecast of a drought, it had to unnerve King Ahab that a man would get in his face and tell him, “I have the say so over your domain and over the weather warfare of your storm god, because I represent the higher government of God Almighty.” In these days of Elijah, whether we are dealing with dark forces at work against our home or community or region or nation or other realms, we can take a stand when we are convinced and confident that Almighty God is backing us.

Confronting and Declaring
I’ve told you about Hermana Cruz who had a robber put a gun to her head in front of her daughter’s house. A few weeks later, this same lady was in the teller’s line at the bank and noticed hooded men at the head of the line trying to commit robbery. She stepped out of line and went to face off with the robbers and declared to them they wouldn’t get out of that bank with more than a dollar! While she confronted them, it seemed they were blinded and didn’t even see the teller contacting the police. The robbers ended up grabbing the cash on the counter and running out of the bank with about $0.80! The next day the headlines read: “Old Lady Stops Bank Robbery!” (Seventh excerpt from Kathy Gabler’s SEEC Magazine article “Sons Must Get It”.)
