Just because your employment requires you to work side by side with certain people, you don't have to let just anyone project their own value system onto your own. Protect your own heart. Do not allow yourself to soul-bond emotionally with just anyone. CHOOSE & REFUSE who influences you.

WHO's WHO Among Your Influences: Determine ahead of time in prayer just WHO you are going to allow to speak into your life! Make a LIST that will help you FILTER IN and FILTER OUT who exactly you trust to influence you.  Don't let this be RANDOM or QUE SERA SERA.

  

All of us ARE GREATLY INFLUENCED by certain people.  It's not a question of whether we are swayed by others... it's a question of WHO sways us.  Being swayed... that's a given!  God wants you and I to be swayed by certain people.  That is the beauty of God-granted relationships.  The real questions are WHO is God-sent to us?  WHO is Satan-sent to us?  Who is Man-Sent to us?

Don't let others choose your KEY CONNECTIONS & RELATIONSHIPS... choose for YOURSELF who is SAFE and who is NOT!

  

There are MANY UNSAFE PEOPLE around you; some are that way accidentally and some are UNSAFE by choice.

  

Mike Murdock:  "Someone you trust is trusting someone else you wouldn't!"

  

Whom you hang out with could hang you!

  

1 Corinthians 15:33 NLT - "...bad company corrupts good character."

  

I've seen many a ministry flushed down the toilet and brought into bad reputation by a man of God choosing the wrong person to yoke together with.  Once this happens IT IS DIFFICULT for that man of God to recover his reputation because of the bad taste in people's mouths.   

  

Don't be FOOLED by a pleasant personality.  There are many people with pleasant personalities that may still be bad for you.

  

Don't be FOOLED by friendliness.  There are many people that are friendly that possess poor values who have great potential to INFECT you!

  

Friendliness alone or personality alone is NOT ENOUGH reason to bond together with a person.

  

There are many DANGEROUS PEOPLE out there and the devil knows it! The enemy of your soul simply loves to send the wrong person into your life!  Be cautious.  Choose selectively.  Have some wisdom.  Have some salt about you!  Don't walk around in fear about this issue, but at the same time be wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove.

  

You can be FRIENDLY to everyone but you don't have to be FRIENDS with everyone.

  

An UNSAFE PERSON is Satan's favorite way to trip you up!  These people are everywhere:  at work, all over the internet, on facebook, on YouTube, on Twitter, on LinkedIn, in your neighborhood, and often... even in church!

  

Proverbs 13:20 MSG - Become wise by walking with the wise; hang out with fools and watch your life fall to pieces.

 
Pay close attention to what activities you engage in that make you FEEL GOOD about yourself, and which things make you feel LEAN on the inside.

Certain activities that motivate others may NOT motivate you. KNOW what motivates you and what doesn't. Know what satisfies you and what doesn't so that you don't waste time and energy on things demotivating.
Stay in your own flow. If God had wanted another-another, He wouldn't have created YOU! You are UNIQUE and DIFFERENT... on purpose!  Respect others' differing flows, but KNOW YOUR OWN FLOW.

 
One of the most tormenting mental states comes from failing in prayer to "MAKE PEACE WITH YOUR PRESENT STATION IN LIFE."

 
Whenever we spend our time CURSING our present , we simultaneously FORFEIT our future.

A LIST of things that make our present emotions and mental state feel OVERWHELMED:
1. Fatigue.
2. Lack of Sleep.
3. Persistent Pain in our Bodies.
4. Lack of Prayer Time.
5. Lack of time spent reading Gods Word.
6. Strife and Strain in any significant relationship.
7. To0 much of certain sugar substitutes or other food chemicals.
8. Any substance abuse.
9. Someone else's own emotions, comments or mental state being projected or dumped onto you.
10. Guilt for unconfessed sin.
11. Refusal to forgive someone by name in prayer... unresolved bitterness and resentments.
12. Delays and Disappointments concerning your Dreams and Goals.

 
When you are NOT BUSY DOING WHAT GOD WANTS FROM YOU, you will feel frustrated and bored.

Obedience is the best cure for unhappiness.

 
Obedience makes you feel good! (Accept no substitutes!  Accept no shortcuts!  Accept no counterfeits!)

God is constantly testing our hearts to see whether we will be obedient in all things big and small. For each test we pass, we gain access into a higher level of fellowship and fruitfulness with the Lord.

Obedience is its own reward! 

  

No President who condones the murder of millions of babies in the womb is any friend of mine.  Rather he is MY ARCH ENEMY!

  

No President who sucks up to the political agenda of Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, and Transgenders (LGBT) is any friend of mine.  Any President who decrees June of each year to be LGBT Pride Month is DEMONIC!  Rather he is MY ARCH ENEMY!

  

No President who tries to destory 1st Amendment Religious Freedom and 2nd Amendment Self-Defense is any friend of mine.  Rather he is MY ARCH ENEMY.

  

No President who brazenly tries to destroy traditional marriage (Biblical marriage, historical marriage for milleniums in every culture) by insitituting Gay Marriage is any friend of mine.  Rather he is MY ARCH ENEMY.  Touch my family, my children and my descendants and GOD WILL TOUCH YOU!

  

I pray God's Word over MY ARCH ENEMY:  I pray for his wisdom, his protection, his family, and his salvation regularly.  BUT... I also FIGHT his wicked agendas to destroy our great nation by SPEAKING UP against his demonic policies!  THIS IS THE BALANCE!

  

By the way Mr. Obama and your Godless party:  "Access Denied!"
