The important of Spiritual hygiene.

CLEANSING PRAYER.

after hearing fr the person.

1. Tksgiving.

2. Cleanse fr all defilements (wash me with his precious blood)

3. Release Your Burdens (lift off the burden n place on the cross)

4. Refresh your Spirit 

Chk if we carry still carrying the burden??

Carry burden wrongly, wanted to help but overburden, it trigger unresolved issue with us. 

  

Take time with the Lord, read scripture with heart & mind. ON SABBATH, HOLIDAYS, no emails, no waps. relaxing things...eg going supermarkets seeing fruits refreshing..no need to cook....so refresh........do fun things, fun, make us laugh! connect...

Other Note: 

REMEMBER dont judge!!!!! (eg i didnt know hes like tat) just find out why he behave such way.

DO NOT FEAR, do the best we can, we are human, we make mistakes, as long our heart is pure and compassion.

Wait for timing.

take medication can help. Stabilise then minister to them.

BE WITH THEM....LISTEN & NOT JUDGE! SUPPORT THEM

Counsel only after medication. 

Mood disorder caution.

Too spiritualised all things difficult to help esp leaders.

Dont Allow somebody to abuse you,submit but angry, said i am angry, (chk why unable to stand up for herself), tell me something, dont shout, talk nicely. dont cnue to allow the person to cnue to sin agst you. able to say "no" not human pleaser.

Do not let fear comes in. when theres fear, theres no discernment.

when a person is violent, dont talk, only when calm down.

when doing it....depending on God.

can pray agst spirit denial & pride. fast & pray...

ELIJAH HOUSE:

topic on heart n mind, depression, 

Judgement (eg scripture used to judge ppl - lift the person up when use on the timing)

family r/ship crucial. Honor parents. Honor one another. flow to a strong church.
