#034: How to Deal with People Who Drive You Crazy [Podcast] with Show Notes

Do you have people in your life that drive you crazy?

What area is the hardest for you? Church, family, school, work, neighborhood . . all of them?

Today we are going to relate to King David, who had people in and around him who drove him crazy. And he shared it in Scripture.

Psalms 139:19-24 NKJV

19 Oh, that You would slay the wicked, O God!

Depart from me, therefore, you bloodthirsty men.

20 For they speak against You wickedly;

Your enemies take Your name in vain.

21 Do I not hate them, O Lord, who hate You?

And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?

22 I hate them with perfect hatred;

I count them my enemies.

Matthew 5:38-48 NKJV

38 “ You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. ’

39 But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.

40 If anyone wants to sue you and take away your tunic, let him have your cloak also.

41 And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.

42 Give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away.

43 “ You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy. ’

44 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,

45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

46 For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?

47 And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so?

48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

Psalm 139: 23-24

23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;

Try me, and know my anxieties;

24 And see if there is any wicked way in me,

And lead me in the way everlasting.

Questions to Ask About People Who Drive You Crazy:

Do I have the same issue?
What needs to grow in me?

14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

Marvelous are Your works,

And that my soul knows very well.

15 My frame was not hidden from You,

When I was made in secret,

And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.

And in Your book they all were written,

The days fashioned for me,

When as yet there were none of them.

17 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!

How great is the sum of them!

18 If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand;

When I awake, I am still with You

Feature Presentation: God’s Heart for You

Psalms 139:1-12 NKJV

1 O Lord, You have searched me and known me.

2 You know my sitting down and my rising up;

You understand my thought afar off.

3 You comprehend my path and my lying down,

And are acquainted with all my ways.

4 For there is not a word on my tongue,

But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.

5 You have hedged me behind and before,

And laid Your hand upon me.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;

It is high, I cannot attain it.

7 Where can I go from Your Spirit?

Or where can I flee from Your presence?

8 If I ascend into heaven, You are there;

If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.

9 If I take the wings of the morning,

And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,

10 Even there Your hand shall lead me,

And Your right hand shall hold me.

11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,”

Even the night shall be light about me;

12 Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You,

But the night shines as the day;

The darkness and the light are both alike to You

Feature Presentation: Part 2 of “How to Restore Nurture in Your Life” 

Pioneer – Single – Beckah Shae

On today’s episode, I talk with Melissa about how important nurture is for a female. I ask her how she as a woman has learned nurture and how she connects to it in her daily life. 

In recognizing the need for nurture, she broke it down into 3 areas, spirit, soul and body. 

My Body – Can I calm myself, Can I sit and feel comforted. Do I feel settled? We all want to feel like we don’t have to worry and that we feel safe in life/situations. Psalm 46:10
My Soul/Mind – How do I process thoughts? Am I being obsessive? Can I process through problems or do I check out?
My Spirit  - Can I connect to the comfort of the Holy Spirit and engage in worship before God?

Getting quiet.

Process life out with wisdom.

Proverbs 4 (NKJV) 

 Hear, my children, the instruction of a father,

And give attention to know understanding;

2 For I give you good doctrine:

Do not forsake my law.

3 When I was my father’s son,

Tender and the only one in the sight of my mother,

4 He also taught me, and said to me:

“Let your heart retain my words;

Keep my commands, and live.

5 Get wisdom! Get understanding!

Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth.

6 Do not forsake her, and she will preserve you;

Love her, and she will keep you.

7 Wisdom is the principal thing;

Therefore get wisdom.

And in all your getting, get understanding.

8 Exalt her, and she will promote you;

She will bring you honor, when you embrace her.

9 She will place on your head an ornament of grace;

A crown of glory she will deliver to you.”

10 Hear, my son, and receive my sayings,

And the years of your life will be many.

11 I have taught you in the way of wisdom;

I have led you in right paths.

12 When you walk, your steps will not be hindered,

And when you run, you will not stumble.

13 Take firm hold of instruction, do not let go;

Keep her, for she is your life.

14 Do not enter the path of the wicked,

And do not walk in the way of evil.

15 Avoid it, do not travel on it;

Turn away from it and pass on.

16 For they do not sleep unless they have done evil;

And their sleep is taken away unless they make someone fall.

17 For they eat the bread of wickedness,

And drink the wine of violence.

18 But the path of the just is like the shining sun,[a]

That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day.

19 The way of the wicked is like darkness;

They do not know what makes them stumble.

20 My son, give attention to my words;

Incline your ear to my sayings.

21 Do not let them depart from your eyes;

Keep them in the midst of your heart;

22 For they are life to those who find them,

And health to all their flesh.

23 Keep your heart with all diligence,

For out of it spring the issues of life.

24 Put away from you a deceitful mouth,

And put perverse lips far from you.

25 Let your eyes look straight ahead,

And your eyelids look right before you.

26 Ponder the path of your feet,

And let all your ways be established.

27 Do not turn to the right or the left;

Remove your foot from evil.

Overcoming Sex Related Battles and Sex Addictions [Audio Teaching]

Our culture is a sex-crazed culture, seeking for something to fill empty voids in their hearts. Sadly, sex-related battles are afflicted Christians and non-Christians alike.

In this teaching, I uncover the various battles that people have that are sex related–from sex addictions issues like pornography or promiscuousness, to battles in thought that keep people in a quiet prison of shame and guilt. Get free from the temptations and bondages that keep sex from the being the pure expression of intimacy in marriage that God designed it to be.

What insights from this teaching did you find to be helpful?

A Way I Can Help You Develop Solid Nutrition Habits [Video]

In helping hundreds and hundreds of people, I have found that the majority of people have some form of weight issue, food issue or pattern where they are not getting the proper nutrition in their life for optimum health. Endless battles with energy levels, fogginess of the mind and overall sluggishness seem to be way too commonplace with people. My heart is burdened that so many are “weighed down” with where they are at nutritionally.

I have been spending years learning the spirit, soul and body connections involved in every food & nutrition related issue. God has been faithful to help me in my own journey and I deeply desire to help others.

Take a listen to this video to hear more about how I want to help and coach you into a more fruitful lifestyle of healthy nutritional care of your body. I am launching a new pathway as a part of Transformed You, to help people grow into healthy nutrition, weight management and healthy eating habits.

Steps from Temptation to Sin (Audio Teaching)

A lot of people do not realize that temptation in itself is not sin. You can have a thought come to you, but you do not have to become one with that thought. In this powerful teaching, I will help you get free from addictions, bondages and ways of living that keep you bound.

Based on the book of James, I carefully outline the steps that lead to sin manifesting.

Included are the following stages:

Drawn away (dragged away) by lust.
You become enticed by the thought.
Conception: the enemy’s thought meet our agreement – conceive the body of sin
Sin is birthed
Sin brings forth death

Get your freedom today over the thoughts that you struggle with and take your freedom today!
