Good Morning,
How many times have we heard something and interpreted it out of context that may have caused us a great deal of difficulties? You know the familiar conversation, it goes something like this……"You said ———–!!!!" and the person who was speaking says:…."No, that’s not what I said!!!!!" Has that happened to you lately?
Do you remember the game we learned as children, where we would start a conversation by saying a simple sentence and it would be repeated to the next person and on to the next and it would go on until the last person would repeat what they heard? It would begin by saying something like, " my dog is a black and brown shepherd," by the time it got to the last person it might be, "the shepherd is brown where the black dog bit him." Well, I learned several things from that exercise: #1- you can not listen to gossip, it is never complete in truth; #2-people do not listen intently and last but not least, I came to the conclusion that when you speak there is a force that causes our conversation at times to be misdirected or confused. Ephesians 2:2 makes reference to the "prince of the power of air". Later on in Ephesians 6:12, we have a little more insight into this, "prince of the power of air". Listen, it reads, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places". So we can see that the devil has a rank of delegated authority, and one of those evil spirits job is the "airwaves". His sole purpose is to scramble up our communication lines. He keeps the atmosphere charged with misunderstandings, misinterpretations, dirty filters, poor comprehensions, and selfish hearing, so that we are constantly dealing with offences, unforgiveness, bitterness, hatred, anger, deception and all other kinds of little foxes that spoil our growth in our ability to hear clearly. I am not saying this is the case everytime, but we are told to know the ways of our enemy, so that we can be victorious all the time. We take authority over this low-ranking prince of the power of the air and we say that you will not hinder our ability to hear clearly & or communicate effectively. We will keep the garden of our heart free of offences, bitterness, malice, unforgiveness, etc.
Hear what the Spirit is saying right now:
"For I am coming for My bride and she must no longer allow spots, wrinkles or blemishes to continue to grow on her. These hearing problems have caused so many blemishes on My church. My children continually hurting one another, fighting and bickering over small temporal things that have been destroying their abilities. You must cease the wars among My beloved, and direct your attention to the enemy, who pitts you against one another. You must see and understand that a house divided cannot stand, and will end up in self-slaughter. Stop! My children, I have given to you all the power over all the power of the enemy, now use your power against the enemy and not against each other. Love, love and prefer one another. Be merciful, tenderhearted and kind. Give allowances to one another. Every time you are hurt by each other, quickly forgive them. Those seeds of forgiveness will return to you on swift wings of My favor to you. You will grow twice as much because of the mercy you extend. You will become more mature and more sensitive to Me and My ways you will be alert to following Me. This is the way of the Spirit. Following the high road of love will always cause you to be on top, it is the steps to prosperity that will bring you to good. Love will mature my bride and keep for her an atmosphere of miracles, wholeness, soundness and true prosperity. Love is the atmosphere where I, in My glory abounds".
Wow! Well, I’m speechless.
Love,

Amen. I was looking forward to this this morning because I woke up late, got to work late and was hungry and irritated all at the same time. My coworker said something to me that normally wouldn’t have bothered me but instead of me responding I just kept my mouth shut because I knew that I was the one with the problem and not her. So I’m learning just to keep my mouth shut especailly when I’m wrong it has helped me tremedously. I’ll think back and say to myself thank God I didn’t say that because the outcome would have turned into and unneccessary argument. Praise God for a word in due season. It’s causing me to be more hungry for the word and honestly for change in me.
