What do words mean in a spirtual battle. I have learned it's very possible to not take words personally. So truly what effect would me telling him off do. I very much turned to God for direction and he put in my heart that this was the way for this situation. I'm not saying it will always be this way. I think the lesson is we need to turn to God in each situation and let him guide us. Rather than set up pre determined road maps for how things should or shouldnt go. I appreciate your thoughts though. Please feel free to keep being open and honest.
