THE POISON OF GOSSIP AND SLANDER

Proverbs 26:20 New King James Version
20 Where there is no wood, the fire goes out;
And where there is no [a]talebearer, strife ceases.

GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY DEAR FRIENDS!!!
You know guys, every time I read verses of scripture on the issue of gossip, I get very triggered. You see, I’ve experienced the effects of gossip personally in my life, and it's why I am not only so much against it, but I have to ask God every day to help not get caught up in the middle of drama and gossip, let alone be spreading it myself. I think that's why the questions from this morning's devotional were very encouraging to my heart, and I’d like to share them with you tonight. Please read these questions very carefully, and I pray that they will encourage you as well.

How does it encourage you to know that God isn't affected by what someone may say or think about you?

Right now, my friends, I’d like to share some things that God showed me from his word this morning, but also things that I've been blessed from God to learn throughout the years on this issue, and I pray that what I share with you will not only encourage you, but keep you from falling into the trap of gossip. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn about the dangers and the poison of gossip! 😊

So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to leave you with this final question from this morning's devotional, and I pray that it will encourage you to see yourself as God sees you: His redeemed child!

How will you celebrate His perfect love today?

My prayer for all of you, tonight, is that you learn to see yourself as God's redeemed child, that you are loved by an almighty God. Don’t let the slander, smears, gossip, and outright lies that others tell about you get to you. Remember that God takes what man means for evil and will turn it into good on your behalf. I also want to give a warning to those who do gossip and spread lies about others, and that is to remember not only what this verse above states, but also what Galatians 6:7 and Numbers 32:23 say and shut your mouths! Most of all, I pray that you’ll remember and live out the fact that you are God's redeemed child, and that it's His opinion about you that matters most.

UNTIL MONDAY:

HAVE AN AMAZINGLY RESTFUL EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!
