Outside were conflicts, inside were fears. 2 Corinthins 7:5
After just positing, a fairly long post, the Lord kept showing me things. And the thing he showed me was a post on facebook. I went there because after posting on Yashuaspeaks.com, I always post the link on facebook. Anyways the post was interesting because it was based on a personal study a guy did about people in general, but mostly women and how they choose drama and conflict in their lives over truth and righteousness. It stated a few things that I have heard from my wife over the years, mostly when we were first together that is exactly what this guy was saying.
For example when we first were married and living together, my wife said is it always this quiet? To which I said yes thinking she loved the peace and quiet. She thought it was boring, but she came from spending every day with her family listening to all the drama and problems and now loathing but peace and quiet. She did not like it, at first.
The guy talks about how the women will tell you that you have fear of people when you do not engage with the drama, which is exactly what I have heard from my wife and ex before. I can go on and on about the points he made and how it is exactly like what he said. Now in regards to my wife, she has changed tremendously and hardly ever spends time hearing the drama and dysfunction in her family. And if she does she answers to them in a much different way, with truth.
Which brings me to the main point or lesson. We all have things in us we believe which are not good, and we feed them not even realizing it is hurting us. How we react and what ewe believe about how we live keeps us in the drama and dysfunction when in our soul we do not want it, we want peace. But we keep feeding the drama and want those around us to participate, it creates fight, or tries to. Adn this drama creates a deep fear.
Those of us who are in the truth do not fight, we simply make the point or truth and leave it there. If the other person wants to keep fighting for their viewpoint or lies and dysfunction, we let them. I know where it goes when you feed it, and what happens when you don’t. Other people’s opinions do not matter to me, I live only according to the Lord’s words and truth to me. And they keep me in perfect peace, while those who live according to the world do not live in the same peace.
The devil wants us in drama, confusion, dysfunction, poor and unhealthy, full of fear. God wants the opposite, so which one do you follow? The god of this world full of dysfunction and drama ad fear? Or the King of Kings who can set you free from all the drama and fear, the Lord Yeshua?
