Stressors: Risking Exposure. (Part I)




In the strife of stressful conditions, the Lord reveals our strengths and weaknesses in our spiritual walk.


TRIALS AND TRIBULATION EXPOSE OUR STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES.

In the strife of stressful conditions, the Lord reveals our strengths and weaknesses in our spiritual walk. We have two choices:

  • allow our natural tendencies (Col 3:5-9) to play out OR 
  • apply Biblical responses (Col 3:12-17). 
The Lord reveals our tendencies to us when we engage biblical truths to help us righteously respond to stress. To condition your responses based on biblical truths

  • FIRST study the profile of biblical characters to identify their tendencies (study the ways of the Father and Jesus closely); 
  • SECOND then look at your natural conditioned responses with the scales removed, an open mind, and a softened heart; ask the Holy Spirit to reveal your heart to you; and in prayer and guidance of the Holy Spirit, ask for forgiveness for your previous carnal ways and ask for the wisdom and divine council to
  • THIRD learn how to align your responses with those of biblical characters and truths.
