Don't live with negative things hanging over you


Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

A woman came to my house and I asked her to help me to print a manual for my sound processor.  She got on line, found the manual, printed it for me.

After that my printer would not work.

I had just had the printer fixed.

I lived with that for several weeks, because I do not often have to print anything.  But every time I did print something I had negative thoughts about this woman.  (She might not have been the cause of the problem but still I had negative thoughts about her when I needed to print something and couldn't.)

Today this was called to my attention and again I thought about this woman and was "pulled down".

I had been reading the following scripture as I thought of this:

Ephesians 3:20 ... Now unto HIM that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,


I believe it was God who reminded me of how this printing problem was stealing my peace and causing me to think evil of this woman.

All I have to do to shut the door on this trouble is to call the computer repair man, spend about $80, get him to fix the printer.  I called immediately and he is coming over this afternoon.

This time, perhaps I can watch him fix the problem so if it happens again I can fix it.

It is certainly worth the money to stop these troubling thoughts (which may not even be correct).

We damage our souls when we live in negative things.

Thoughts will come, "But it's such a little thing.  You can put up with that."  Not if it damages my soul, causing me to think evil of another person.



*****
It turns out my thoughts about this woman were correct...she turned the internal setting off

I never turn printer off

She meant well but caused unnecessary trouble.

Best part is I didn't have to continue to live with the problem and continue to damage my own soul.

Randy fixed the printer.

$80...or my own soul?
