Venting versus spewing 2 How it impacts the other person.
The consequences of spewing to another person instead of venting can be severe. While you may feel better afterward, the other person is left enduring the remnant of it.
If you're on the receiving end of the spewing, it is healthy to interrupt the other person and put a stop to it. And if you find someone stopping you, chances are that you're entering into sin territory.

Venting versus spewing and sin. An area we are all growing in. 09262023
Venting, when done in a way that doesn't cause harm or other issues, is healthy. You're talking about the situation to feel better and find a solution. Spewing, on the other hand, is a slippery slope of sin, which includes complaining, slander, gossip, and grumbling. The Lord sees all of these as sin and it's displeasing in His sight. This is definitely something we all are growing in.

Don't cast your pearls before swine. Others will treasure them.
Not everyone will value what you say. Some may even cut you off and know they're doing it with some justification or it may be unintentional. God doesn't want that for you regardless. Reevaluate and see whether or not you're casting your pearls before swine. Many out there will not only listen but will also value what you have to say. It's a loss for the ones who don't. Often they miss out. Forgive them and bless them anyway.

Speak life, not death. Words wound sometimes. 05062023
This is in complete opposition to what the world (and the enemy) wants. It's so easy to slander and gossip. It's also easy to speak harshly, even with completely pure intentions. Life and death are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21). Words do wound despite what anyone says. Sometimes we even curse ourselves and other people. We wound them in the wrong way when speaking the truth in some instances. So, this is something we must work on overall.
Speak the truth in love. Be mindful of what you speak over yourself and others. Speak life and not death. When you mess up, forgive yourself. When others wound by their words, forgive them.

Be willing to fight for your covenant relationships in the right way. 05042023
The enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:20). He's after covenant relationships in all seasons. This one is no different. Many within the Body are facing these battles within their covenant relationships, including their own. Yet we must fight in the right way. Not with the people, but with the spirits trying to conquer and divide. Take your stand with God. Decree and declare that no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17) and that Satan will not destroy the covenant relationships in your life.

Are you willing 04262023
Christ came to save the one. He didn't come for the righteous but for the sinner. The broken. The downtrodden. As He calls you, would you be willing to lay your life down?

Sometimes you need to walk away from the conversation. 10022023
Certain intense conversations come up from time to time. Some are productive. Others are damaging.
Don't know who needs to hear this, but regardless of what the other person says, you have every right to leave the conversation.
If you don't feel safe, leave.
If you feel like you're being spewed on, accused, or the other person is unwilling to listen to truth or common sense, you have every right to leave the conversation.
If there are too many raging emotions, you have the right to leave the conversation until peace can be maintained.
In some instances, you do not have to stand for anything less than a peaceful, productive conversation.

Don't force them to talk when they're not ready. 02022023
In so many instances, even with the purest intentions, a person pressures another to talk when they are not ready. There's a time and place for that person to talk. Sometimes the one suffering needs time to breathe or compose themselves before having that conversation. Sometimes you aren't that person. In making statements such as "I won't be available later, you must talk now" and others only give the enemy a foothold. Even God doesn't force someone to talk. So, why should we?
I've encountered this so many times on my healing journey, and it never did me any good to talk when I wasn't ready to. Another factor in people having trust issues.
Until they're ready to talk, be careful.

If in obedience, you're not committing the sin of forsaking the gathering.
Your obedience to Christ matters. The judgment of others cannot be a contributing factor in doing His will. Keep your eyes on Jesus and do what He tells you no matter how hard it is.

The silence is interesting. Or perhaps it's telling you something. IHOPKC 08242022
When this happens, it is interesting. All the same, chances are that there's something hidden within that silence. It's good to inquire of God when this arises to see what the truth is. Sometimes the truth is painful, yet it must be revealed.

Be careful who you give time to 06252022
It's wise to be careful who you give your time to. Some will utilize it healthily. Others in their brokenness will take every second, minute, and hour they can. (Sometimes there is awareness of this, sometimes not). Use your time wisely. Otherwise, you may end up drained of all you have too often. You matter as much as everyone else. There's a difference between normal responsibilities and optional situations.

Doing what you say vs not doing.
Not much more is needed here. Much is required, and it is always best to do what you say you will do. Using the Lord as justification for not acting is wrong and won't fly.
