Adam, Eve, & Relationships: Communication p14

Communication: part 14

God Morning! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me David Mitchell II on this Thursday January 21, 2010. We are almost at the end of our discussion of Adam, Eve, and Relationship. Outside of not having God in our love lives, the number one contributor of failed relationships is the lack of communication. Let me ask question. How well do we actually listen to our loved ones? Or better yet, How do we respond when they a speaking to us. Do we just drown them out, give an auto response, or say what they want to hear just to shut them up? If so, that’s horrible communication! Or on the side how do we know if what we are saying is being communicated properly? Well, that can be measured by the observing of the tentative ear toward God. If you or the other person doesn’t even listen to God when He’s talking, then what makes you think that they’re going to listen to you? Most bad communication is one way and that’s inward. The individual usually already has a preconceived answer in their head already before they ask you the question. Then from there the flesh takes over and angry accusations fly. Friends we need to communicate outwardly. We need to be quick to listen vs. jumping quickly to assumptions. We need to be slow to speak vs. being slow to forgive. And finally we need to be slow to anger because the angry man/woman’s eyes have a cloudy judgment, but the person that is slow to anger has a clear line of vision that will prevail toward righteousness. Proper communication will lead us inevitably unto a proper relationship. Please read James 1:19-20 communication

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
