    We have the power to hurt or help an individual--We have the power bind
    someone, or make them free. We also have the power to encourage, or
    DIS-courage someone.
    
    There once was a time, during my walk with the Lord Yahweh--that
    through my zealous boldness, I use to say certain things, THINKING I
    was helping someone, when at the same time, after thinking about the
    situation, I should have said or taken another route to try and help
    someone.
    
    There might be someone in NOTES that found themselves in this
    condition, and had been carrying around a luggage of guilt. You CAN be
    free, by first forgiving yourself--secondly, go to the person you delt
    with, confess your error and repent. Lastly, accept your forgiveness
    and move forward with your life in Christ Jesus.

    "As often as I have been amongst men" said a philosopher, "I have
     returned less a man;" this we often experience because we talk
     long.
             From "My Imitation Of Christ" by Tomas A. Kempis

     This cuts two ways, you know. Refusing to say a blessed thing has
     just as much damage potential as saying a cursed thing.

    I'M LEARNING TO WALK IN THE SPIRIT. YOU'RE RIGHT--SOMETIMES WE ARE
    COMMISSIONED TO SPEAK, AND WE DON'T.

    120.4  I presume you are speaking of when the Holy Spirit prompts you
    to witness to someone either by what you say to them or do in a certain
    situation?

    Jesus said and did only what He saw His Father say and do.  In the same
    way, Peter exhorts everyone who speaks to do so as one speaking the
    very words of God.  A sobering commission indeed! In fact, 1 Peter
    4:1-11 is a good, concise reminder of how we may live for God in what
    we say and do.

    In His love,
