Anger and Honesty

KATHY–How do we CHANGE and resolve anger?  The first step is HONESTY.   WARNING: our religious mindsets can set us up for defeat, if we believe that being angry is a sin.  If that is the case, the accuser of the brethren delights in keeping us on the witness stand, denying that we are angry.   He has an open and shut case against us and sues for damages.  Sometimes the suit lasts a lifetime!  But the Spirit of God lovingly bids us to get off the witness stand and calls us to the Judge’s chambers to admit the anger.  This might scare everyone in the courtroom, but it will not frighten the Judge. For in the honesty and truth of the Judge’s chambers change begins. Anger and Grief begin to let go of our emotions.


Just Weights for You

May you receive refunds and replacements where needed and may people and companies admit overcharges and correct and give proper credit on your accounts.  ”A false balance and unrighteous dealings are extremely offensive and shamefully sinful to the Lord, but a just weight is His delight.” (Prov.11:1, Amp)

Gates And Traditions

 

Gates And Traditions (by Kathy Gabler)
Probably the hardest place to build a gate is in our traditional, established views of scripture, and unfortunately we could die on our own sword trying to defend our traditional beliefs simply because the letter of the law kills.  It is rather ironic that the letter of the law is so strong yet vulnerable to something as simple as a  typo or language or culture or new revelation.   However, the spirit of the law, or the truth that is right and unchangeable in it, is not threatened by new gates to fuller understanding.  For instance, the scripture says, “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.” The spirit of that law boils down to not deliberately deceiving and manipulating information against someone for your own purposes.  However, our traditions have added to the letter of that law that we must tell everything we know at all times.  Not lying does not equal spilling all truth to all people.  Even “honesty is the best policy” is best approached with caution because sometimes SILENCE is the best policy.  (There are men who have learned that it is better to be silent than express their honest opinion of what that dress looks like on their wife.)
