Combat Negativity

There has been quite a fair bit of negativity going around lately. It's terrible because spirits are dampened and crushed. Discouragements and bitterness loomed. I know I was affected by them and taking a clearer look at myself, I found bits of negativity towards relationships, situations lurking around too. I made an attempt to speak against them and was encouraged by a simple vegetale song that says "I have got a Mighty Messiah that Manifest within my soul". Combat negativity by His spirit. Hold on to His Word, I was reminded.
Phil. 4:8
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
I think the enemy really uses this negativity to dampen the work of God and relationships between His people. We got to be careful not be used as his tool. Evaluate our speech, attitudes and heart conditions and learn to stand by one another with words and actions that edify.
Combat negativity.
