Conflict.

                                                                                Conflict.


The Goal:  To Resolve, Not to Win.


What causes fights and quarrels among you?  Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you?  You desire but do not have, so you kill.  (James 4:1-2)


A hot-tempered person stirs up conflict, but the one who is patient calms a quarrel.  Proverbs 15:18)


The Bible Teaches that Conflict

 “often stems from selfish desires”, but call Believers to pursue peace, control their speech, and seek reconciliation.  

Let the Lord Rebuke people.


Conflict - An inevitable part of a fallen human world that stems from “selfish desires”, pride, and sin, but it also serves as an opportunity for spiritual growth, humility, and reconciliation.


The First Conflict in The Bible, “stemmed from a selfish desire”.


And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was “pleasant to the eyes”, and a “tree to be desired” to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also to her husband with her; and he did eat.  


Soon after the “evil desire conceived” Conflict occurred between Adam, Eve and the snake.  Adam blamed and accused Eve, Eve blamed and accused the snake, the snake didn’t have anyone left to blame.  Snakes will be snakes, causing conflict.


Bible Scripture Backs Up The Wisdom in Resolving Conflicts, not Winning.


Proverbs 15:1: A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh answer stirs up anger.


James 1:19-20 : Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.


Ephesians 4:26:  In your anger do not sin:  Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry.


God Forgave us, due to the Conflict Resolution of Jesus.

Jesus said to us that, the things He did, that we should do also and greater things.


The Other Side of Conflict is “Peace, Joy, Harmony, Unity, Oneness”; Go to the Other Side Today.  

Don’t Let Pride rob you of The Other Side!

The Heart/Mind.

                                                                        The Heart/Mind. The Heart/Mind of Christ or the Heart/Mind of Satan?   Fulfill ye my joy, that ye be “likeminded”, “Having the Same Love”, “being of one accord, of one mind”.   “Let nothing be done” through “strife or vainglory”; but in “lowliness of mind (heart) let each esteem other better than themselves”.   Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.   “Let This Mind (Heart) Be In You”, “which was also in Christ Jesus”.   (Philippians 2:2-5) The Heart/Mind of Christ is “A Priceless Blessing”; Available to Us. Our Daily Nugget is Paul letting the Church at Philippi and us know that Kingdom Citizens should be “Of One Mind (Heart/Thinking)”.   Since we have One Lord, One ...

Come.

                                                                                  Come. The Spirit and the Bride says, “Come”. The Spirit and the bride say, “Come”!   And let the one who “Hears” Come!   Let the one who is “Thirsty” Come”; and let the one who “Wishes” take the free gift of the water or life.   (Revelation 22:17) This is a “Call” for all to “accept the gift of eternal life offered through Christ! Our Daily Nugget is letting Kingdom Citizens know that we “Must Be About Our Father’s Business” of Sharing the Invitation to “Come” with everybody we can.   We do this through our Living and our Words.   What we Do speaks so loud, till no one hears what we say.   Our saying is the Destiny of our Thinking; doing is a natural follow through. To Think ...

From Bitter to Sweet.

                                                                      From Bitter to Sweet. God changed the water from “Bitter to Sweet”. Then Moses made Israel set out from the Red Sea, and they went into the wilderness of Shur.   They went three days in the wilderness and found no water.   When they came to Marah, they could not drink the water of March because “it was bitter”; therefore it was named Marah.   And “the people grumbled against Moses”, saying, “What Shall We Drink”?   “And he cried to the Lord”, and the “Lord showed him a log”, and he threw it into the water, and the water became sweet.   (Exodus 15:22-25) Pray to Me, when you are in trouble.   Then I Will Rescue you, and you will praise me.   (Psalms 50:15).  This is a promise from God.   God Cannot Lie!...
