And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever the Spirit of truth. John 14:16 New International Version
First the Holy Spirit will convict us of our sins.
This will lead to our repenting of sin.
When we repent of our sin He will give us power to not do the sin.
For example I used to be the type to want revenge when someone did me wrong. There was a man that was very bad to me and we parted ways. A few years later I saw him advertise his services on a Christian web site. I intended to write a very bad review of him to destroy his service.
The Holy Spirit came and convicted me. He asked me why I intended to do this. I tried to reason that is the truth. He would not let it go. He asked: “Yes. But why do YOU want to do this?” I had to confess it was for revenge. “And what does the Bible say about revenge?” He asked? “Seek not revenge but leave it in My hands says the Lord.” was my reply.
“So, what are you going to do now?” He again inquired? “I am not going to send the report.” I surrendered to Him.
Prayer: Thank you Holy Spirit Elohim (Holy Spirit our creator) for creating in me a heart that is open to Your conviction and the wisdom and strength to listen and obey Your guidance. I give thank for this precious blessing in the name of the great convicter Jesus Christ.

If there is no repentance we are to keep the relationship formal. No where does it indicate in the Bible that Christians are to be doormats for the wicked. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah
Prove by the way you live that you have repented of your sins and turned to God. Matthew 3:8 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
The difference between a bribe and an apology is that when someone has done you wrong and see they are on your bad side and they offer you a gift without an apology that is a bribe to manipulate them into forgiving them without repentance. Then they will feel free to continue the abuse. Always refuse a bribe.
When someone offers you a gift with repentance ( which means they admit what they did, admit it was wrong, are sorry for it, apologize and stop the offence ) that is acceptable and you are to forgive them. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah El Deah ( God of knowledge. Romans 11:33 ) for blessing me with The Holy Spirit to softly whispers with me to warn me of when the schemers and manipulators are trying to manipulate me so they can continue their abuse.
Thank you the He The Holy Spirit softly whispers when to accept a sincere repentance and to graciously accept it and to forgive the offender just as You have forgiven this child of Yours when He repents.
I praise You in the name of He whose blood made reconciliation with You possible, Jesus Christ. Amen

“But to you who are willing to listen, I say, love your enemies! Do good to those who hate you. Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who hurt you. Luke 6:27-28 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
Are you willing to?
It is our natural inclination to close our ears to words we do not wish to listen to.
Are you willing to suppress that and listen to The Holy Spirits voice as He convicts you?
It is our natural inclination to hate our enemies and make them suffer as much as we can.
Are you willing to love them?
That is not the mushy nonsense you see in movies or on TV.
It is an effort that can only be accomplished by surrendering to the power of The Holy Spirit. It does not mean that you condone nor tolerate abusive behaviour. If you love them you will help them to understand why they are abusive ( many times it is because of abuse they have suffered and have not been healed of ) and help them get counselling. If you love them you will not empower them by allowing this behaviour to continue but will allow them to suffer the consequences of their actions.
Purge yourself of toxic folks less their poison kills your love and you are rewarded with nothing but misery in return. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Are you willing to pray for Jehovah to open your eyes to the problem and to the solution ( including the fact that the problem may not be them but may be you ).
When others hate us it is natural to hate them back.
Are you willing to love your enemies by understanding why they hate you and seek reconciliation in the relationship. If they refuse are you willing to love them enough to behave in a respectful manner towards them. Are you willing to pray for Jehovah to open your eyes to the problem and to the solution ( including the fact that the problem may not be them but may be you ).
“The Bible tells us to love our neighbours, and also to love our enemies; probably because they are generally the same people.” — G. K. Chesterton Prayer:
Please Jehovah ELOHIM YAKOL (God, the Most Able 2 Corinthians 9:8 ) bless me to enable me to conduct myself towards difficult folks in the noble manner in which Your gracious son Jesus Christ did. I wish not just for peace in this relationship but to use this situation to glorify You and to bring the little lost sheep into Your Heavenly fold. Please bless me with the strength and healing of ostracizing myself from toxic folks until they accept that their behaviour is not loving nor acceptable.
It is in the name of He who exemplified Christian behaviour towards others, Jesus Christ, that I humbly beseech You. Amen
May you always be receptive to and obedient to The Holy Spirits guidance in all of your relationships. Joseph a son of Jehovah

This is good and pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth. 1 Timothy 2:3-4 The Holy Bible, The New Life Version
I have encountered too many Christians that are determined to save the world.
Yeah, and then what?
Well, then they say praise Jesus when someone accepts Christ as their Saviour and then walk away.
That is like asking Jehovah to bless you with a child and when the baby is born the parents walk away.
How are they going to learn to live like Christians if you are not prepared to mentor them?
How are they going to learn to serve their King if you do not teach them?
No, that is not someone elses job, you brought them to Christ, now you are to educate them. This is a huge commitment that is going to take a long time, effort and suffering on your behalf. If you are not prepared to make that commitment then just shut up. You do more damage than any good because the newbies are left hanging out to dry and walk away from Jesus feeling angry and bitter towards both Him and His followers.
Bringing one to Jesus is only half of the equation. You must also teach them about Jesus. You must teach them to conform to His will. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Please Jehovah Immanuel (God is with us John 15:1-27 ) bless me to always be there for anybody that You bless me with the privledge of bringing them into Your Holy family as You are always there for me.
I humbly request this in the name of He who always walked with His disciples when He journeyed this earth Jesus Christ. Amen

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Philippians 4:6 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
Prayer: Oh Jehovah Shalom (The Lord blesses with Peace Isaiah 9:6, Rom 8:31-35 ) I thank you so much that I can always come to you with whatever is upsetting me. Every time You calm me down with Your gentle loving Divine peace and then softly speak to me and help relieve the stress I am experiencing.
Then You wisely explain the answer to all my questions and stressful situations. I am grateful that You have taught me to always come to You before I take any action.
I praise You in the name of the Prince of Peace Jesus Christ. Amen
Those who pray first, wait for the Lords answer and then be obedient unto His instruction have a lot less stress in their lives. Joseph a son of Jehovah

May the LORD, calm your anxious heart and the urgent demand for quick results. May He help you to wait on Him, trusting that His timing is perfect.” Joseph a son of Jehovah
Hate what is sinful. Romans 12:9 The Holy Bible, The New Life Version
Do you notice that when you see something sinful you get disgusted and angry, like homosexuals kissing on TV?
When you are a Christian that is good.
That means you heart is aligned with Jehovahs. Make, no mistake about it, He hates wickedness.
That does not mean we are to have vendettas against the wicked.
We should lovingly bring them into the Truth.
If they reject it, they are rejecting Christ, not you. That should bring great agony to our hearts because in rejecting Christ, they are condemning themselves to Hell.
Liberalism says if it feels good do it. Christ says obey my commands or you will destroy yourself, you chose. I will send you the Holy Spirit and He will teach you right from wrong. Reject Him to your own peril.
Christ does not condemn anyone, their own actions do. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Ori (Psalms 27:1 The LORD My Light) for lighting the way to live a decent healthy lifestyle and to detest the filth that is committed by those that relish walking in the dung of sin and arrogantly participating in it for all to see. Please guide my heart not to hate them but to pray that they see and accept the Light into their lives before the damn themselves to eternal Hell. I sincerely request this in the name of He who is the light of the world Jesus Christ. Amen
May you be blessed with peace and joy every day.Joseph a son of Jehovah

The Lord is my strength and song. He is the One Who saves me. He is my God and I will praise Him. He is my father’s God and I will honor Him. Exodus 15:2 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
My Beloved Father because hard times have come right now and have beaten me down. I have tried all avenues I can think of to no avail so of course I do what should have been done right from the out set I humbly come before You my love with my petition:
Please bless me with wisdom, mine is feeble compared to Your Divine superior wisdom.
Please bless me to send the Holy Spirit to bless me with discernment. He knows best how to teach me so I will understand and blesses me with the strength and fortitude to follow through on His Divine wisdom.
I thank you my Love for blessing me with this circumstance because it teaches me and reinforces in me to always turn to You first, listen obey and trust Your guidance.
Please forgive me for being so arrogant as to foolishly believe this situation can be best resolved by my feeble wisdom and strength. Through this experience my Love it draws us ever closer together which is the best blessing of all.
It is in the best Guidance Councillors name, Jesus Christ. I pray. Amen
May Gods sunshine always bless you with brightening your day with His love, joy and peace. Joseph a son of Jehovah
