(Happy Birthday Sweet Precious Mother!!!)
~~~~~~~NOTES FROM CHARLES STANLEY’S TEACHING~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Dealing with Conflict and Criticism:
““`1. Maintain a quiet spirit.
““`2. Make no attempt to defend yourself immediately.
““`3. Ask the Holy Spirit to put a seal upon your lips and a guard on your mouth. (Luke 12:12)
““`4. Ask the Holy Spirit to give me discernment.
““`5. View the conflict as coming from God to get the focus off the person I am in conflict with. You allowed it, so I believe You will let something good come from it, because You are in control. Either SUFFER from it or BENEFIT from it.
““`6. Ask yourself, is this my fault?
““`7. Forgive the person for whatever happened.
““`8. Look beyond the conflict or criticism. How can I avoid this the next time? Don’t get stuck in it. ““`9. Take advantage of this conflict, learn from it, demonstrate the life of Christ by the way we respond.
Either SUFFER from it or BENEFIT from it
