1 Timothy 5 Thomas 28, Ed

Do not sharply rebuke an older man, but rather appeal to him as a father, and to the younger men as brothers, to the older women as mothers, and to the younger women as sisters, in all purity.

Honor widows who are actually widows; but if any widow has children or grandchildren, they must first learn to show proper respect for their own family and to give back compensation to their parents; for this is acceptable in the sight of God.

1 Timothy 5:1-4 – https://www.biblegateway.com/passage?search=1%20Timothy%205:1-4&version=NASB

Now, if this older man is what we call a ‘dirty ole man’ (lecherous sinful….i am thinking of my Grandfather here, Mom’s side)

Don’t appeal to him at all!

Maybe confront him about it in front of the rest of the family he abuses too…?

Bear in mind the Stockholm dis-ease

That many victims of abuse, abuse others too, will not support you, will throw you ‘under the bus’, attack you themselves …

One or all of the above…

Remember this!

Anyone who repeatedly does evil to you?

Especially AFTER you repeatedly don’t in return or before hand?

The rules of engagement in the Bible? Of handling people?

Is for a time when social embarrassment?

Was easy to attain…

When hypocrisy was just starting to be…

Obvious?

Automatic?

Hugely ignored?

Remember too, that Elohim/Yesuah knows what is in your heart!

If you are not sure

Not acting in anger or pain (which is difficult i know)

We are usually programmed, groomed? To react the way we react

Desire to do and be as Christ

This is why it is SO much easier with the direction/guidance of the Holy Spirit!

As a newbie in following the Holy Spirit?

(One can be in Christ for years! Yet just started following the nudges of the Holy Spirit!)

You may not be quite certain

Truly desire the truth (even if not in your favor) spend time with Yesuah everyday…

You good.

Because He has gained my trust! Earned it personally!

Because i made errors! Still do! And will till no longer in this body forever…

The Holy Spirit has an amazing way of rewarding you for listening and obeying Him!

😍 Wonderful experience!

An Anonymous poster (FB has Anonymous posting now in groups! Admins & Mods know who you are though)

Writes a long post about her anxiety and stress! (Her? I think so!)

I write a reply that is also long

Come up for air

Staff person walks by just at that moment!

(The one I reported when i first arrived! Not doing her job and messing with me!

Free to speak (instead of emotionally comprised!) i did starting last night and this morning!

So! I am moving around now like I don’t have swollen legs etc!

Hallelujah!

Told y’all He blesses me for standing up against the forces of darkness!

You gonna make up sh*t? Lie on me? And be malicious?

Anyway?

Mine as well (or might as well )

Get some licks in too eh?

I am seeing glimmers of why they want to kill me!

My smart mouth son?

So! I am snarky!

Have attitude!

And transmit what i really want to say!

Even tho i DIDN’T say it!

Like b*tch! Who do u think u talking to?

West Coast swagger they can’t handle here! 😁 (So we know what that means right? WESTSIDE! 😁)

Intimidating, confident, relaxed in myself!

These things cut and sting like a sarcastic payback joke/prank from my son!

For a moment! I could see it!

A glimmer of understanding!

The Spirit of Understanding!

Is totally awesome!
