In the Bible, rebuke means to strongly criticizeor correct someone's behavior with the ultimate goal of bringing them torepentance, spiritual growth, and a restored relationship with God. Ratherthan just expressing anger, a biblical rebuke is an act of discipline meant tostop harmful choices and promote righteousness. The goal is to correct and restore, not to shame or teardown. Believers are instructed to ensure their own motives are pure (not rootedin pride or hypocrisy) before correcting others, ideally addressing the issuewith gentleness and respect. Between Believers: The Bible commands followers to hold oneanother accountable. Matthew 18:15 outlines a step-by-step process ofaddressing a brother or sister’s sin privately to win them back. Of Leaders andElders: In 1 Timothy 5:20, the Apostle Paul instructs that church leaders whopersist in sin are to be rebuked publicly so that the congregation respects thegravity of disobedience. Against Satan: Jude 1:9 recounts Michael the archangelsaying to Satan, "The Lord rebuke you!" In the modern church, thisphrase is often used as a prayer of spiritual intercession to appeal to God'sauthority over temptation or spiritual opposition. ...and God corrected me and I realized it eight dayslater... #proverbs #viral #Trending #fyp #ministry

Proverbs 8:13 The more a person fears and respects God, the more he or shewill hate evil. Love for God and love for sin cannot coexist. Harboring secret sins means that you are tolerating evil within yourself. Make a clean break with sin and commit yourself completely to God. #proverbs #viral #Trending #fyp #ministry

Proverbs 6:16-19 A person who stirs up conflict in the family. I could have just proceeded as normal and let sleeping dogslie. I could have kept my mouth shut. But I didn’t. Demons don’t get tired. That is important to remember. Whyis that? Because the human that we are upset with or the situation that sucks – we do not fight against flesh and blood, but against principalities. The spiritual realm. Demons don’t sleep. That demon can be lying in wait smoldering under the surfacejust smirking and excited for the second that you are tired, give up, worn –and then he pounces. Thrilled with himself because the battle was won. Don’t do it. Take a deep breath, or ten, and talk to God. Turnup that worship music, a bible-based podcast or talk to God directly. Dialogue with the devil ends in defeat. #proverbs #viral #Trending #fyp #ministry

Temptation is not always sexual sin. It can be. Buttemptation is also any other thing that would cause you to want to step outside of the guidelines that God has set for us. What we want to do and know ahead of time we should not. I am tempted to get angry when I am tired, hungry, lonelyand scared. Stupid to type that being angry gives me satisfaction... And the consequences last a minute... What we have to do is decide NOW what we will do when weface it. Prepare for it, because it is coming. How will I act on whatever that temptation is? How will you? Temptation is harmful. Websters: "psychological desireor enticement to engage in short-term urges for immediate gratification, even when it conflicts with your long-term goals, ethical principles, or well-being".

Jesus never said we should not have feelings. Jesus hadfeelings. He wept when His friends were hurting. He wept for Jerusalem. To believe that we are not afforded the ability to have a feeling is a lie brought on by the enemy. And... Just because others do not have feelings, does notmean yours have no merit. I say all the time that facts are facts and feelings don't matter. Meaning, feelings without the facts are invalid. A feeling brought on based on fact is. Does that mean we should throw a fit and let our emotions goon a rampage? No. It is not going to benefit anyone, and it is not going to resolve your circumstance. I did just that and my circumstance is still the same. And if my cause would have any validity, it does not now. We must guard our hearts. We must guard our most importantrelationships outside of our relationship with Jesus. We have no control over anyone else and the guarding of their heart. We cannot force that, persuade that, love someone into that. We can only talk to God about that and know thatHe has the power of truth. We must not let that detour us from what our goal is. We cannot force another person to have boundaries to what causes them to sin. Even if we are boundaried out of someone’s life that is otherwiseboundaryless - it is still just not our job. We are to stay the course with God. Otherwise, our resentment and hurt cause us to sin. This is not to say that at some point you shouldn't enforceyour boundaries (as painful as that may be). And that is not to say that you are to build walls so that you are locked in a cell (absolutely not). What we should be doing is talking to God about it. He will set our path straight with no confusion. God knows everything already. He knows their hearts and he knows yours. There is no way to twist a narrative there... So... While our circumstances may not change, our hearts will. Jesus Christ and eternity are our goal. Things of this earthwill all disappear. If you don’t matter, you don’t matter. But remember this – Jesus Christ died on a cross for you. That alone makes you worthy. Nothing on planet earth should make you feel small knowing that truth.
