The Lord has a solution for troubled and tense relationships. Jesus is the hope for those who have experienced and have been concerned by a growing tension and frustration in relationships that were once strong and vibrant. He has the answers when those who you once considered near and dear – and even still do – seem all too distant.
He says this: ‘I call my people to move like an army and love like a family in this time of advance and occupancy. Yet, the enemy knows that for an army to be successful, unity must be intact and whole. With all his might, satan has pursued key relations and tried to cause damage. But I am not allowing this to continue. I am now declaring a word of peace and a word of vibrancy back into tense and frustrated relationships in families, friendships and workplaces.
To the frustrated and distant relationship, I decree ‘restoration’. To the fallouts and pain caused in these connections, I speak ‘healing’ and ‘wholeness’. I call all your key and ‘kingdom’ relationships back into order on this day.’
For many of you who have gone through the pain of troubled relationships, the pain caused was not the other’s issue but was, rather, an atmosphere that the enemy had released. So, shake off your trouble, weariness, frustration and pain and come into agreement with the decrees of the Lord!
Colossians 3:13-15
Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony. And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.
