Is it okay to let this go?

One time I was making a delivery and in walked some man and he was mad. He said GD real loud and I jerked back. When I got back in the truck, I said Lord I'm sorry he took your name in vain

....then God spoke to my heart and said.."he didn't take my name in vain....he is his own god. He is simply acting as one who does not know me. The people who take my name in vain are those who say they are my children yet live like the devil" I said Whoa.....forgive me Lord!!!!

I always find it fascinating when Christians are surprised that pagans act like pagans. Get used to it.

hehehehehehehhe

the only thing is, placing curse words in front of or behind the Lords Name is not the only way to use His Glorious Name in vain....

many people use His wonderful Name in vain when they are talking about how hungry they are, or how tired they are, or how much they like, or dislike something....... or even using His Name in vain when discribing how hot or cold it is..... people use the Lords Name all the time and do not realize they are using it in vain cause they have not places a cuss word with it.....

example: Oh G.. I am so cold, I feel like i am freezing to death.......

Oh Lo.. I am so hungry, I am starving to death.....

what is the purpose of the use of His Name in these two sentences??? none, other then laying a curse on our selves.... freezing to death, we are laying that upon us,

our words have power behind them. lots of power......

when we go around cursing every thing we come in contact with ( not even using cuss words , but down talking, gossiping, non uplifting talk ) how do we expect a 30 second prayer for healing to have any effect???? being we have been gossiping for 16 hours..... 30 seconds of prayer is not going to reverse the damage we have done in 16 hours of gossip....... or other non uplifting words....

just something to think about......

by the way.......

I personally would not want to call on Barbra???? she cant do anything for me, only God can.... and believe me, God does for me like no one else or for that matter everyone else could do......

God is The Most Awesome that Awesome can be.....

I agree with Blood Bought, instead of letting her set the terms knock it out of the ballpark by turning it into praise. I have said,"Wow, you know Him too" or simply "Amen" it really does work because your putting a face to their vain expression and sooner or later when they see its not getting to you they will stop. But in the mean time you are taking ground spiritually from the enemy, as she curses God you are proclaiming God, where satan wants not so much to irratate God but to cause offense, keeping that woman bound and you too in a sense. I worked with an athiest, he was one of my bosses, and one day I brought a handout from a Carman Concert to one of the girls in my office, he walked out of his office and all he had to see was the name "Jesus" and he hit the roof, I almost cried. As I sat at my desk terrified to turn around and with tears in my eyes the Lord told me to apoligize to him, it was his office and I knew the rules, I could have given it to her outside, but I didn't. Anyway I went to him and before I could open my mouth he apoligized to me, I also did to him. I learned that even when you have to submit to an unrighteous king, God is still there and He is still in control. Your sis, Sharon
