I've been thinking about these days of false accusations towards God and towards His people, that are occuring collectively or towards individuals in isolated situations.

That if ever you felt the need to be vindicated , please wait on God.
God has the accurate truth and people do not.

If you rely on yourself and other people to prove others wrong then that can fail or be incomplete. Even worsen the situation.

If you rely on God and give the burden to Him, then you have a peace that surpasses all understanding that He knows and understands all.
God will then defend you in ways that give you peace and in His timing. It may not be in the timing that you want it to be, but there will be a due time in the hands of God.

Wear the armour of God and take to heart these words:

Casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, 2 Corinthians 10:5

Remember Jesus was falsely accused and yet He triumphed over the devil and the falsehood, over sin and death.

I admit I had given an exaggerated example of what the other person was doing to me to show what he was doing per his own judging standard of exaggeration.

But I still see that as "Casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, 2 Corinthians 10:5

Still it is on God to cause the increase.

And yet still, I need to trust the Lord to lead me way from "arguments" that is obviously not profiting the other when there is no iron sharpening iron happening there as it is the Lord that ministers to & from both sides.

Proverbs 14:7 Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge.

Proverbs 27:17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

Titus 3:9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. 10 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; 11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.

It is probably why many Christians do not go into Christian forums today, even during the pandemic when one would think they would more so.
 
I find the forums very good for seeing another perspective and increasing the understanding of the bible, equipping for our walk with God. On the positive side.

Probably the negative side is when they become contentious and not seeking the truth.
I was referring to life in general and not the forums in my op. :)

Okay. Sorry about that. I did apply the OP as if inferring the events happening in this Christian forum.

I am trusting Jesus Christ as my Good Shepherd to direct my paths in case I make a wrong decision about something when I should be walking away from that discussion les it becomes an argument as you say, they are not listening.

I think the hardest part is leaving them with the last word or post as if there is no further reproof towards it, but I need to trust Him in His words that His sheep will not follow a stranger's voice, even though we are to reprove all works of darkness in keeping the faith which is the god fight. So I am trusting Him to post less and even to walk away to another thread where by His grace, His help, & His provision, edification can build up the believers in the body of Christ.
 
That's alright I understand. :) I like to read what others say and present it in prayerful thought to the Holy Spirit and to wait for clarity. Hoping that this isn't the enemy or my own voice.
That can happen easily. I think prayers for asking God to take captive of our thoughts and directing our steps help.
Though if we strive too much to do it we can be doing in our own strength and not in the strength of God. God always said to give the burden to Him and that when we come near to Him in our weakness it is a life of peace .
It's easily said then done as I know but my first step is I say I am making too much difficult and please help me God.

I am not sure why you would present it in prayerful thought to the Holy Spirit when He is in us and not at that throne of grace. You can trust the Lord Jesus Christ in His words to us that the Holy Spirit will teach us and bring into remembrance all things Jesus has said unto us ( John 14:26 ), but our prayers when offered upwards is to the only Mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus ( 1 Timothy 2:5 ) as He is the Lamb of God by Whom we can pray to God the Father by. John 14:6

It is best to honor the Son in that regards ( John 5:22-23 ) since only He answers prayers so that the Father may be glorified in the Son for answers to prayers John 14:13-14.

Jesus makes intercessions for us Hebrews 7:25 & knows the mind of the Spirit to give the Spirit's silent intercessions for Him to the Father so that before we pray, the Father already knows Matthew 6:7-8

Since the role of the Holy Spirit is to testify of the Son thru us ( John 15:26-27 ) in order to glorify the Son, John 16:14 then the Holy Spirit would be pointing us to keep going to the Bridegroom in our intimate relations with God the Father by.

I have come across many reports when strange paranormal events occurs when focus or prayers are offered to the Holy Spirit. This does not always happen, but if you check, slain in the spirit & holy laughter movement all purport the falling of the "Holy Ghost" on believers.

This one brother from India said he had never believed that the Holy Ghost does any dramatic manifestations any more as He did in the early church days. And then he shared with me on the day of Pentecost that the church service was honoring the Holy Spirit that day and while praying, he felt something like liquid nitrogen seeping through his skull and the next thing he knew was that he was confessing against his will an apology to the Holy Spirit.

#1 We are not to believe every spirit but test them per 1 John 4:1-6 and that is by knowing He is in us since salvation at the calling of the gospel ( 2 Thessalonians 2:13-15 ) as opposed to whatever is coming over us later in life as a saved believer ( 1 John 4:4 ) So that was not the Holy Spirit seeping through his skull like liquid nitrogen.

#2 God would prefer a willing apology rather than one forced against his will.

#3. What the spirit of the antichrist does is take our eyes off of the Son, the Christ, to them and their visitations. Antichrist as used in scripture means "instead of Christ" rather than against Christ. The real indwelling Holy Ghost per His role, would never take the spotlight off of the Son to Himself for believers to focus on in worship or got to in coming to God the Father by, let alone in prayer.

You may not have had experienced anything paranormal yet, but when you do, may He remind you through the Holy Spirit in you why Jesus warned believers to strive ye to enter through the straight gate because this is why many saved believers will be left behind for not only going to the Son in coming to God the Father by. John 14:6 & John 10:1 & Luke 13:24-30 and that is Who the Holy Spirit in us is still pointing us to when the spirt of the antichrist would not.
 
The Holy Spirit dwells in true children of God.
He that is in us is greater than he that is in the world.
That within the relationship with God we can truely Testify Jesus, who is King of kings and Lord of lords, and I mean that with all my heart.

Everybody looks for different communications but I just now expressed my faith.

May those led by the Spirit of Christ communicate with the Bridegroom since He will be coming soon for the abiding bride of Christ for it is by the Bridegroom, we can communicate with the Father.

Thank you for sharing.
 
I do need His help daily in not caving in to the oppression I am under as I am annoyed & upset on how all things do not work to my good but for ripping me off.

1 Thessalonians 4:6 That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.

I know God will have vengeance on those people unless they repent before the Bridegroom comes, but I am called to suffer being defrauded and trust in God to take care of me anyway & forgive them for they know not what they do.

1 Corinthians 6:6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers. 7 Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded? 8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren. 9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. 12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

1 Peter 2:19 For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. 20 For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. 21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: 22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: 23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: 24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. 25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

The example Jesus has set below in forgiving others when they were not even asking for it nor repenting of it at that time;

Luke 23:33 And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. 34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. 35 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God.

So I need His help daily to forgive my enemies for having taken away my life.

Mark 8:34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it. 36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

It is humiliating to be fretting when He says not to worry nor fret because of evil doers Psalm 37 but Jesus is helping me while I just wish I would stop being upset by these provocative events occasionally & accept that I shall be defrauded again but the Lord will still take care of me as He has before. Being under constant oppression by my enemies does not help either for why those occasional events of defrauding and mischiefs offends me all the more.

Luke 18:7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? 8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

It seems I get so mad at myself for being so stupid and how things work towards that end in provoking me that I need His help to raise my head above the storms of my life to be willing to let go, forgive, and trust in the Lord regardless.

I really wish He would take me Home, but nevertheless the Father's will be done and not mine. Walking each day with the Lord through this valley of death is an experience that I can see His workings in my life, certainly my need of Him to be working in my life, to give Him all the praise & glory in bringing me Home as a vessel unto honor in His House in attending the Marriage Supper in Heaven to His glory as the crowns I receive are His crowning achievements in me..

May God continue to be my defense against the storms in my life and keeping me to abide in His words in being fruitful daily as His disciple with my eyes on the Son of God since He will be coming soon as the Bridegroom.
