KATHY GABLER—Fruit That Overcomes Self-Destruction — I was praying for a lady who was incapacitated and went through months of emergency room runs, hospital stays and testing, but the doctors could not bring the sickness to resolve or even a clear diagnosis. As I was praying, the Spirit of God revealed what the doctors were looking for: they were looking for her self-destruct button. Where is your self-destruct button? More importantly, why is it there? Is it embedded in disappointment, self-pity, deceit, desperation, selfishness, unforgiveness, bitterness, anger or guilt? Once your self-destruct button is pushed, can you recognize how you feel or how you feed destruction? Have you ever connected the dots to realize that agreement feeds destruction and agreement comes with every unkind word and action, every foul mood freely expressed, every dark habit or pattern and every self-justification when you are wrong?
Self-control is a fruit of the Spirit and it is a powerful expression of self-government, a powerful, non-carnal weapon to defeat enemy strategies and strongholds. Choices concerning our attitude, words and behavior take dominion eventually. Over time, every ruling force and condition (good or bad, healthy or destructive) gets in control through attitude, words and behavior, and all three begin with thoughts and feelings. The one-two punch that defeats self-destruction is: 1) recognize destructive feelings and discern dark thoughts, and 2) refuse to be controlled by them or behave as they dictate. Self-government becomes our weapon against self-destruction.

Kathy — Doubt, fear, offense, deceit, unforgiveness and depression can crawl up on anybody’s porch. Mature sons master them and continue to walk out what they 
were born to do. When His sons mature, His government is demonstrated on earth as in heaven and His supernatural touches the natural. Let’s be encouraged. Our Father is faithful and patient. He will keep working with us to grow us up into full stature! Eph.4:13, Amp — “until we all reach oneness in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, [growing spiritually] to become a mature believer, reaching to the measure of the fullness of Christ [manifesting His spiritual completeness and exercising our spiritual gifts in unity].”

Forgiveness, when wounded, is not based on “deserving” because we don’t want our forgiveness based on deserving! I will forgive others for being wrong because I want forgiveness when I am wrong. Matt 6:12, “and forgive us our sins, JUST AS we have forgiven those who have sinned against us.” (TLB) We can then rest in God’s wisdom to handle the matter. God said vengeance is His, and you can trust Him with it!
WOUNDS and painful experiences will come, but we can walk out the process of healing and be whole!

We cannot deny we are angry and hurt when someone wounds us; and a desire for revenge is normal, maybe even justifiable. But neither denial or justifiable revenge is positive resolve of anger. For example: a husband with a roving eye continually wounds his wife. She can deny her anger and it will affect her own mind and body eventually. Or she can feel anything from an inadequate failure to pure rage, (and her feelings are understandable and justifiable). Forgiveness will probably be the last thing on her mind. WHY shouldn’t she hurt him in return? Because His SIN would then CRIPPLE her! Sin reveals a problem in the sinner – not in those he sins against. Why make His problem her problem? Whatever other choices she must make in her individual situation, she can ultimately choose to forgive her husband and be released from the cycle of grief and pain.

UNFORGIVENESS is put in perspective in the Spec and Log principle of Matt 7:3, “And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? (NKJ) Unforgiveness is the log which is bigger than the sin (spec) we cannot forgive in someone else. God asks us which is worse, someone’s sin or our unforgiveness of their sin? The log is a vivid picture of how blinding unforgiveness can be. It keeps us from seeing that if we build a prison for someone, we have to stand guard over it. We are locking ourselves in, building limitations for our own life. For example, if we don’t forgive someone for rejecting us, we will become blinded by a resident fear of rejection.
