[We must] pray constantly for His enabling grace to say no to temptation, of choosing to take all practical steps to avoid known areas of temptation and flee from those that surprise us.

But it is Worse To
It is bad to think ill, but it is worse to speak it. Matthew Henry
We Must Ask for Every Day
The most important blessing we must ask for every day is for Christ to bless us with His love. When He generously gives that to us, then we will have patience, self control, wisdom, love, respect and compassion towards others and towards ourselves. These are the foundation of a Christians every day walk in a life committed to serving Jesus Christ our Lord and King. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah
The Surest Mark Of
The surest mark of true conversion is humility. J. C. Ryle
Is a Good Idea Because
To turn the other cheek means if someone insults us not to take it personally ( which is a good idea because this is the first means of a narcissist attacking us. Then instead of getting into a fight they stand there looking stupid ). Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah
Not to be A
Meek means to keep yourself under control not to be a door mat. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah
This is What the Lord Says
This is what the Lord says: Do not be afraid! Don’t be discouraged by this mighty army, for the battle is not yours, but God’s. 2 Chronicles 20:15
Those that do battle against Gods children do battle against a protective all powerful God. Who do you think is going to win that battle? Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah
When Anyone Tries To
When anyone tries to bait me into an argument, I just look at them and reply May Jesus Christ’s love and peace be with you today. Then smile and do not say another word. It sure throws the narcissists of. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah
I Depend Very Heavily Upon
Don’t sin by letting anger control you. Think about it overnight and remain silent. Psalms 4: 4 The Holy Bible The New Living Version
Being a live in care giver for a narcissistic mother I depend very heavily upon The Holy Spirit to alert me to whenever this little devil is trying to intentionally push my buttons to get me angry. ( Then she cry babies to others that I am abusive towards her. )
If anybody is considering becoming a care giver my advice to you is: DON;T DO IT !! You will be used and abused like no other experience.
This comes not just from my life in Hell but from talking with many other care givers.
Fortunately this is a small town so most people know she is a psycho bitch from Hell ).
Instead of fuming over her abuse The Holy Spirit soothes my spirit with memories of all of Jehovah love for me.
After many years of suffering like this He guided me to two video’s on YouTube: 10 tactics to put a narcissist in their place and 10 tactics to make a narcissist respect you. After listening to them I was shocked at how well and how much she was playing head games with me. Now, when she tries her games, The Holy Spirit reminds me of what was said in those video’s and I take the appropriate actions which prevents a lot of fights ( which she loves ).
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Mephalti (Psalms 18:2 The LORD My Deliverer ) for blessing me with sending The Holy Spirit to rescue me from the grips of satan when he tries to manipulate me into losing control of my temper. All glory to You and Him for this extremely important service. I praise You in the name of He who never allowed satan to control Him, Jesus Christ Amen
May I suggest we Christians start voting for politicians that have Christian morals like The Christian Heritage Party for the election here in Ontario Canada. Our rights and freedoms depend upon it.

We Spent Our Lives Doing
In the past we also were foolish. We did not obey, we were wrong, and we were slaves to many things our bodies wanted and enjoyed. We spent our lives doing evil and being jealous. People hated us, and we hated each other. Titus 3:3 The Holy Bible The New Century Testament
I have found most bad habits start out small but become second nature. Then our minds and bodies crave them like a thirsty man craves a cool drink of water. Many times the cravings become so strong our minds feel as if they are going to explode in a ball of fire. Our bodies feel as if they are on fire and we feel weak and sick. Yes, our minds and bodies wanted them and enjoyed them. When they were not appeased, they punished us with a living fiery living Hell.
When those who belong to Christ do not join in their perverted dance with the devil, they hate us because our living a holy life convicts them of their evil lifestyle.
They hate others because they blame them for their addictions rather than take responsibility for their own actions.
Not my fault it is your fault is the battle cry of every narcissist when things go wrong, even though we tried to warn them. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah
I find the worlds pleasures boring, stupid and a waste of time and money. I find The Holy Spirit is the best make over artist there is Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah
We all have bad habits and dispositions. They are all centred in the mind. Some willingly some are inherited. They all eventually destroy us.
Unless, we surrender our will to the greatest make over artist there is. His name is: The Holy Spirit.
When we accept Christ as our Savior and King, He sends The Holy Spirit to burn off the bad attributes in our lives. Many are difficult and take time.
Some can only be accomplished by the power of The Holy Spirit. From my experience,these are usually done instantaneously.
Then, there are the ones that are accomplished with team work in harmony with The Holy Spirit. They are more difficult but always victorious in freeing you from that slavery of the addiction. This takes more time.
The last is when we get into counselling with Christian councillors that have walked the walk of your addiction so they understand what you are going through. It is a very painful experience that can take years. Again The Holy Spirit helps us along the difficult parts.
Do not act like the sinful people of the world. Let God change your life. First of all, let Him give you a new mind. Romans 12:2 The Holy Bible The New Life Version
The greatest blessing is Jesus who paid the price for my admission into Heaven.
The second greatest blessing is The Holy Spirit who transforms us from filthy rags into amazingly beautiful worthy to be called children of Jehovah. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah ELOHIM YAKOL (God, the Most Able 2 Corinthians 9:8 ) for blessing me with sending The Holy Spirit to either help me conquer my bad habits or the ones that are too strong, He easily smashes their chains upon me as He sets me free of them. I exalt You in the name of the best healer there is Jesus Christ. Amen
