Focus on the mission when dealing with difficult people

Psalms 1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful

There are people in life that are innately likeable, whilst it is relatively easy to dislike many people out there. Learning to love what we cannot love is a powerful spiritual, supernatural choice we make, it is as good igniting a spiritual, powerful miracle within you.

Many people such as family members or friends might behave in ways that you find intolerable, however their behaviour stems from anxieties, illnesses, or it is their personal defence mechanisms. When God places you with these difficult people, you ought to grasp that you're on a spiritual mission to help them no matter how tough it is. You're not meant to get carried away emotionally, but rather you need to be God's faithful, obedient prayer agents and intercessors.

Pray

Your faithful prayer will powerfully disrupt and destroy evil, it will bring major breakthrough and massive change, it will result in souls being saved, because God gives beauty for ashes. Just as Christ prayed during His earthly mission, we too must pray because prayer is God's system. Prayer is one of our many purposes in life, it is the starting point of everyone's life story and testimony.

Remain in power when dealing with difficult people

2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

According to 2 Timothy 1:7 we have power within us. In order to gain strength and have peace during your Godly mission you must operate in the fruit of the Spirit as it will make an extremely powerful impact. Galatians 5:22-23 - But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

 Put on the armour of God

Have you thought about how powerful each piece of the armour of God is? Operating in the armour of God gives utmost confidence, since you will be able to powerfully stand against the wiles of the devil. Please read up on the full armour of God here: Ephesians 6:10-18. Each piece of armour serves a powerful and mighty purpose in fully equipping us for spiritual battles. For example, "faith" is a shield that quenches the enemy's fiery darts, which guarantees that when the devil comes at you with his fiery arrows, your powerful faith will quench or extinguish it.

Colossians 3:2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.

As visionaries, we must look to things above. As Children of God, no matter what the circumstances are, no matter how evil people are around us, we must plant seeds, shine the light, and always bear in mind that only God grows the plant (or a person) - "grow" also means "change".

Trust God's timing

Have respect and trust God's timing. Patience is spiritual practice, while impatience amplifies pain and brings forth negative, toxic emotions, on the contrary patience is a powerful, great and mighty spiritual fruit of the Holy Spirit. Praise God in the process, rejoice in all circumstances and already reveal the gift of victory that Christ accomplished for us.

Your patience also provides nourishment, and fuels growth, a seed cannot grow without a "waiting period", change cannot happen without patience. When we push through, we get breakthrough. Hebrews 6:15 And thus Abraham, having patiently waited, obtained the promise.

God's Mercy and forgiveness is serious and powerful

James 2:13 There will be no mercy for those who have not shown mercy to others..."

Remember that when nobody forgives you, our Heavenly Father Forgives. When nobody has mercy on you, our Heavenly Father has Mercy. When nobody wants to give you a chance, our Heavenly father gives chances. Likewise, we should be the same towards others and never allow our feelings to stand in the way of the major transformative change that our prayer will accomplish in others and ourselves - Everyone needs Jesus. Matthew 5:7, “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.” 

Remain in Love

Always remain in love because God has given us power, love and sound mind. If you are not showing love to others, then you are not operating in "sound mind" which God has given us - 2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

1 Peter 4:8 And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.”

Focus on your Godly mission

1 Corinthians 9:24 Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it.

God has a great plan for your life because He has chosen you to bring about change. You are blessed with an abundant life on earth and an eternal life in heaven ❤️

God Bless you
