HEALTHY CONFRONTATION 2

Healthy Confrontation (2)

'A time to keep silence, and a time to speak.' Ecclesiastes 3:7 NKJV

Confronting at a time when the person is most receptive takes wisdom. Wife, when your husband first comes home from work, give him space before you bombard him with the problems of the day. Husband, don’t wait until you arrive at the event to tell your wife you don’t like the outfit she’s wearing. Tell her when she can do something about it. And you should make every effort to confront a person when he or she is alone, just as Jesus commanded: ‘If your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private.’ (Matthew 18:15 NAS) Confronting someone in the presence of others can cause them to become defensive in order to save face. Your goal is reconciliation, not embarrassment.

If you have something ‘heavy’ to tell someone, it’s not a good idea to have the confrontation at their house or yours—select a neutral location. That way it will be easier for the person being confronted to leave the scene, if he or she becomes belligerent. And there’s always the possibility that this could happen.

Sometimes you have to temporarily lose people, to win them later. ‘He who rebukes a man will find more favour afterward than he who flatters with his tongue.’ (Proverbs 28:23 NKJV) Note the word ‘afterward’. If you don’t get the immediate response you desire, you can still win—especially if you pray, relying on the Holy Spirit to work in a person’s heart. But you must be willing to take the risk and confront the situation in order to bring about the change you desire. If you don’t, things will remain the same—or get worse.

SPEAK THE WORD FOR YOUR HEALING

The Word of God is God Himself. Therefore, when we speak God’s word in faith, we speak his presence into the prevailing situation. The word is Spirit, because God is Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. In His presence there is fullness of joy and his right hand pleasure forever more.

In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God…John1:1

Peradventure you are reading this book and you are sick, I want you to open your mouth and begin to speak the word of God for your healing. Keep speaking it until you’re healed… God watches over His Word to perform it. Anywhere His Word is spoken, he manifests His presence. 

Declare These:

My body is the temple of God, therefore sickness, you have no right over my body. I declare that I am healed in Jesus’ name, because by the stripes of Jesus Christ I was healed according to Isa.53:5, But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. Therefore I am healed and live in divine health.

Isa.58:8, “Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the Lord shall be thy reward.”

Keep declaring God’s plans and intentions for your health. Do  not believe in the lies of the devil. The devil’s trick is to suggest to people that sickness is terminal and cannot be cured. There is not condition that has the capacity to defile God’s Word. Even Lazarus died and after four days Jesus brought him back to life. What is more desperate condition than death? No matter what the name doctors have coined for that health challenge, the name of Jesus Christ is able to set you free.

One day, I suddenly woke up with an excruciating pain in my left knee; the pain was so much that it was becoming embarrassing. I could not take anymore and spoke healing upon my leg, and immediately I became totally healed and whole. I spoke in faith, I rejected the pain , I didn’t want to manage the situation by nursing it, rather I out rightly rejected it.

“Any seed of the devil you manage, may turn out to damage you.”

Romans 10:8, “But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;”

Always keep the Word of God on your lips, meditate upon it in your heart and it shall be well with you.
