Causing Your Own Warfare

I once heard the following expression: “Every time I’ve been stabbed in the back, I find my own fingerprints on the knife!” In life we will experience good and bad, happiness and anger, sadness and joy, and failures and successes. It is all a part of life; but sometimes we cause our own problems with our mouth and our actions. Wisdom teaches how to act, what to say, and the right time to say it. So if you experience warfare as a result of something that YOU did or something that YOU said, don’t blame God and don’t blame the devil. Blame it on yourself. To be ill-mannered is to be unlearned and unwise. Ill manners are the outward expression of inward defects. Explain your thoughts to this.

  3. That was a very powerful quote! I believe it is very true that we can be our own worse enemies, especially if we do not have the propensity to be honest with ourselves about ourselves...


    Stay in the blessed place!

  5. You know there is a monkey on your back when you have internalized the warfare to the degree that the warfare is no longer just a battle but your NORMAL CONDITION!

  7. Sometimes we get so caught up in getting blessed that we forget that one of our jobs is to be a blessing.
