Cassandra Mack’s Soul Fast 40-Day Challenge
Day 38
Fasting From Negative People
Today’s Fast: Today We Are Fasting from people who are …Controlling
and Don’t Respect Your Boundaries
Today I wanted to jump into your inbox to talk to you about people who are controlling and don't respect your boundaries.
One of the hallmarks of a controlling person
is that they do not respect other people’s boundaries. It’s not easy to deal
with a controlling person. Controlling people can be very pushy, manipulative
and make you feel like you have to always do what they say.
There are many ways to deal with controlling
people, but one of the most effective ways is to set very clear and non-negotiable
boundaries so that the controlling person knows what you will and will not
tolerate. It’s important to work on caring for yourself and standing up for
yourself to avoid being drained by a controlling person.
Establishing
and respecting boundaries allows each of us to develop and express our own
identity, and have the room to freely grow and thrive. We show respect,
humility and love for one another when we respect other people’s boundaries.
Even God sets boundaries for us (in love, and for our own good).
Today,
take a step back and assess your relationships with people who try to control
you, so that you can evaluate whether or not you should come out from among
them. *****And if you are in a position where you are not yet able to come out
from among them physically, then come out from among them spiritually and
psychologically by creating some emotional distance and making sure you put on
the whole armor of God before dealing with them.
If
you are find that you have a tendency to be controlling towards others, ask God
to search your heart and renew a right spirit in you.
Today Is A New Day
It’s new because the sun has risen this morning.
It’s new because you have arisen to meet it.
And the risen version of you has
the power and capacity to rise to the occasion and handle your business for
today.
Remind Yourself: … “Withdraw your foot from your neighbor's
house; lest he be weary of you, and so hate you.” (Proverbs 25: 17)
PRAYER: You can prayer the
scripture from today’s message or you can pray about anything that’s on your
heart.
