Make Amends To The People You Have Harmed

Now that you have made your lists, it’s time to make amends. First, you have to understand that sometimes it’s not good to open up old wounds. We don’t want to harm others again, but this doesn’t mean that we’re off the hook from making amends. There are ways of making amends for all situations. It’s a matter of how you approach it.

You could just go to the person(s) and apologize for the things you did wrong to them without going into detail for fear it might get the person riled up. The main thing is that it has to come from the heart in a sincere and remorseful way. It doesn’t matter if the person doesn’t want to forgive you. Pray for them, one day they may have to do what you are doing now. (more…)

Make A List Of Our Iniquities or Resentments

Make A List Of Our Iniquities Podcast

Iniquities are the Same as Sins

When we did something wrong to someone did we do it intentionally or did we do it out of ignorance? Sometimes we aim to harm people and some of the reasons we do this is for personal gain, that we don’t like the individual, or because we like to stir things up between others.

Gossip is a sure way to hurt others and sometimes it backfires on us. I’m sure if you think about it you could come up with more reasons. Well, guess what? We need to think about it and think deeply about it. Just when you think it couldn’t get any harder, this walk with the Lord is about to. (more…)

Remove Character Defects

Remove Character Defects Podcast

Character Defects are Negative Thoughts, Emotions and Behavior

Now that we have taken a look at ourselves by making a list of things we did wrong and told them to another individual, it’s time to work on removing these defects for good. Remember to always talk to Jesus about these things we need removed and let Him help us to overcome these defects.

The defects we have can be a little tricky to see. Reason being is because we’ve been accustomed to our way of thinking for so long, that the things we do don’t seem to be so bad, and it’s likely because we, as carnal minded people, are blind to our own defects. Some of our defects are usually seen be others. This is how other people judge our character. (more…)

Self Will – Take An Inventory Of Ourselves

May 13th, 2010 John P

Self Will Podcast

Our Behavior Is Pretty Much Ruled By Our Pride or Self Will

Our emotions and our actions are of self will. We want our lives to be in perfect order as WE would like them. We do not care about what others want or need or even if we do, so long as it doesn’t interrupt our way of life, the life WE want.

If we want something bad enough, we’ll do whatever it takes to get it. Some break the law of man, while others break the Law of God. This is self will and not God’s will. (more…)

Is It Sanity or Insanity?

Is It Sanity or Insanity? Podcast

Most of us like to think we are sane people right?

We don’t act bizarre or we’re not in an institution, so we must be sane, right? Wrong. There’s a kind of insanity that, as we look through our carnal eyes we just don’t see. We usually look at insanity as people who lost touch with reality.

Reality as we know it is based on a majority of people who live their lives within the law of reason as human nature perceives it, but is this sanity? Reality means the real nature of. So, believe it or not, we are not living reality. God did not create us to live in sin. What we actually see and know can be deceptive. (more…)
