CONFUSE THE ENEMY

God is not the author of confusion, but peace.

Wherever there is envying and strife, there is going to be confusion, misunderstanding and every evil work.
This goes back to the heart of self esteem.

I'm still talking to my ladies, the Women Of Virtue.

Have you ever overheard something and took it the wrong way?
jumping to all types of conclusions.
Why?
I mean you thought that the conversation was saying one thing and it was saying something totally different.

You might have just come in on the tail end of it and heard just a snippet.
Or some one else who didn't have a clue filled you in.
You went on to get all huffed up and puffed up and run and tell somebody else what was being said.

Believing that it was something negative about you.

Yeah you have done it, I have too.
It turned out that it wasn't even about you.
You done got all stirred up and began to build a defense and it ain't even about you.

Why?
Condemnation.
You know what condemnation does?
It saps and drains your confidence.

That's the devil and his schemes.

The conversation or the message is not directed at or pointed at you, it can be a general statement but condemnation gets angry and wants to retaliate.

This is why preachers always say: Don't shoot the messenger.

To stop confusion and misunderstanding is easy.
Romans 8:1
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are In Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."

We are so good for leaving the tail end of that verse off.
There is no anger, guilt, or need to retaliate behind walking after the Spirit.

Because you have trusted in the Lord and you are doing good, you know that you will be fed and eat the good of the land.
You ain't mad.

You haven't cast your confidence into anything else but following after the Spirit.

Proverbs 25:28 says:
One who has no rule over his/her spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.

What happens when our wall is broken?
We give access to confusion.

Confuse the enemy by deciding to walk after the Spirit and maintain your confidence.

Proverbs 14:26
