It will always come out favorably if you bless them and ask the Lord to keep watch BETWIXT you and that person.

Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Matthew 5:10Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 5:11

Matthew 5:44
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, BLESS THEM that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Matthew 11:6
And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
Matthew 13:16
But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
I tried the principal put forth in Matthew 5:44 and it works! Every time. Pray and ask God to bless them with a job promotion or an apartment with better amenities!
I could've shaved off years of resentment and depression; feeling opposed. Sometimes God just waits till we believe the scripture and use it.
I sometimes see a professed Christian acting in an unseemly manner. The ensuing anger and frustration in my heart towards them causes me to pray against them. Am I the "enemy "? Does this Psalm and implicit punishment apply to me?
Revelation Chapter 11:1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty [and] two months.
3 And I will give [power] unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred [and] threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. (1,260 days)
Revelation Chapter 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who [is] like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty [and] two months. (42 Months)
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
John L Questions on Revelations on Psalms 35 - 4 years ago
REVELATIONS QUESTIONS???
I am unable to fit all Tribulation events (Seals, Trumpets, and Vials) into a 7 year time period.
A 7 year time period is not given in the Book of Revelations concerning the Tribulation.
The Book of Daniel refers to this time period as the final "seven" of the "seventy weeks" ( Daniel 9:24). That final 7 has been going on for over 2000 years.
In the "midst of the week" does refer to the middle of a set of SEVEN years when the sacrifice and the oblation will cease, and this refers to the 7 Vials of Revelations 16:1-18:24 which are poured out at the END.
In addition, Jesus said that the time of the "Great Tribulation" would be "shortened" ( Matthew 24:22). We find that this particular time (after the 5th Trumpet and the 1st Woe) is shortened to "five months" (Revelations 9:5). Where does this factor in?
The period of time covering "Jacob's trouble" ( Jeremiah 30:7) is 20 years; It could be seen as 13 years if the first 7 are not counted; because they seemed "but as a few days" ( Genesis 29:20). Could this be a more plausible time period for all events to take place?
Be careful telling others they will go to hell if they do ____. The Bible says not to do that and says what will happen if you do. Matthew 7:1. Secondly, that's an assumption and you don't actually know how God will judge. Romans 9:15, Matthew 7:14.
Ms. Betty, I do know about forgiving. You need to let loose and let God. Go in a place where you can close the door. Read the psalm, after you read it call these girls name out. Watch how things change. I love you Ms. Betty with God's Blessing.
Word to the wise. If you don't forgive..if you were to die...you will go straight to "hell"
This psalm is so very powerful against anyone that come against you whether its family, friend or foe. Powerful. It turns the situation around in your favor especially at the end of reading the psalm. Call their name out and watch God.
Sackcloth and ashes is extreme mourning and / or repentance. sackcloth was rough uncomfortable for clothing. Sitting in ashes was dirty and I suppose symbolic of being dirty and burn out? It is humility before the Lord
2 Samuel 3:31 And David said to Joab, and to all the people that were with him, Rend your clothes, and gird you with sackcloth, and mourn before Abner. And king David himself followed the bier.
Genesis 37:34 And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
Nehemiah 9:1 Now in the twenty and fourth day of this month the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, and with sackclothes, and earth upon them.
Psalms 35:13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.
Daniel 9:3 And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:
i love this chapter so much, especially the part about i will rejoice in his salvation. gives me peace, because all the religious gunk goes away when i think of that.
My Bishop gave my husband and I Psalms 35 to read when we was going through a rough time. My husband and I knew we were being plotted against and people said mean things about and told lies on us. However, we continue to read this Psalms knowing God will vindicate us once again and reveal the truth.
I believe that earnest Prayer no matter what our situation we are going through, that God hears each and everyone of us. Psalms 35 is a very deep psalm it is a psalm of protection as well as a guide of what GOD can do for us with just the power of his word if we trust and believe in him, He will protect us against all of followers of satan.
I prayer this prayer for 2 weeks straight and was moved out of a terrible position from my job. Prayer changes things and most importantly this is our fight its not against flesh but is spiritual. I love this scripture as the enemy is all around us, we need tp pray this daily.
I pray this psalm upon all the enemies of my soul. as I complete my 2 days fasting let there be physical evidence as all my enemies fall into the pit they dug for me while I go higher in glory and repossess my processions in Jesus name. amen
For the lord will give me peace when my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me , because I am strong I know the LORD is with me. Verse 4 says..let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt. Verse 26: Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me. I will forgive
Betty:Forgiving Can be Hard. Makes no Difference what You have Done, Christ went to The Cross for Your Salvation and Whoever Will come to The Cross. The Girls Need Christ Like All of Us.Their Salvation ismore Important than Anything They have Done. The Lord Said Pickup Your Cross and Follow Him.(Matthew16:24, if not 10:38) Anger is Easy, Love is Hard. Eternity is Never Ending. Pray for The Girls
I think it is true quote. I am having a hard time about forgiveness and being able too forgive the persons that took my dead sisters stuff. My nephew gave me all her things.. I was on my husband's niece post and told her all about the stealing that my husband daughter and granddaughter had taken my sisters stuff from the bedroom I had put it. I'm having a hard time forgiven the girls.
Part 1/ The bible tells us this can to walk together except they agreed it also tell us light and darkness cannot agree to break this down ok how can u agree with sadan he is pure darkness there is No good in him .when a person has not accepted Jesus the devil can get in there spirit and live there that who bring darkness in a person u see the devil is a spirit he need a body to live in.
NOW, O Israel let the fear of the LORD be upon you; take heed and DO IT: for there is no iniquity with the LORD our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts. REPENT and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye will receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For his only begotten Son has God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour.
"False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not. They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul." When after centuries of apostasy defiance and sin against the LORD the people asked for a king; God gave them the Announced Glad Tidings of His Anointed the Saviour of the world and their Glory above the Nations! But none of these things moved them to repentance.
Psalm 35 is a prayer of protection against the wicked ones. When you talk of ememy - remember that satan uses human beings to work. Witches and wizards are the human agents. Read what the bible said in Exdous 22:18. The enemies you have to forgive are the people you know that wrong you due to flesh.
Mark Verrell -- yes He did say that but I'm certain this is about the enemy and his minions, not about other people we'd call our enemies. There is a major difference. We are called to fight the good fight of faith and be armoured up for battle against the enemy. There is no love for the darkness at all. Loving and forgiving our human enemies is what Jesus was talking about, not the enemy
I believe that the psalm is as relevant today as when uttered by the psalmist. We require the same level of protection from our enemies. It is not for us to take the action necessary against them but for the lord. The lord knows our hearts and situations and so he will take whatever action necessary to protect the just.
To Mark Verrell - King David lived in the O.T. dispensation. God dealt differently with sin then - because Jesus had not yet been manifested and brought GRACE. Thee was faith - Noah, Abraham, Ruth, Rahab, etc. (read Heb. ch. 11). This is ALL God's business, not ours; now, in the N.T. dispensation , we are to have faith, which leads to His Grace.
first???jesus was first!!from the start. yes jesus said love your emneys, but war is also love, to protect oneself or others but pray for there soul,so they have a change of heart
