Bullying and Bullies In The Church “Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets.” (Matthew 7:12-23) By Prophetess Joni Ames
Dear Friends,
We hear a lot about bullies in schools and tough neighborhoods. But most would never think that it exists in the church. However, sad to say, it does.
Shockingly, it does not just exist among children.
Even in the Bible, two grown brothers named Cain and Abel battled that demonic monster. I have always been someone that reached out to other people and tried to make them feel welcomed, loved, and included. Even when I began to have my own ministry, I tried to help raise others. I felt in my spirit that the Lord said that every door He opened for me, I was to hold open for others. So I did. It shocked me that God gave me so many open doors. But those early days were also at times difficult. You would think your friends would be happy when good things happen to you. But I was in for a big surprise. I never would have thought that someone would become a jealous bully. Especially other women's friends in the church.
