How can I handle my troublesome mother-in-law?

Agatha's mother in law (MIL) won't let her be. She's always breathing down her neck. There's nothing Agatha would do that seems to please her, so how should Agatha handle her MIL as a good Christian woman?

Now, dealing with troublesome in laws can be very tricky but with wisdom we can put a stop to it or get it under control. I know a lot of women are going through this. So consider these hows.

1. Avoid any confrontation with her:  Yes, don't lash back at her, rather put your anger in check. Be quick to listen, slow to speak and be slow to anger...(Jam 1:19)  and simply CHOOSE to ignore and overlook. Choose because it's a deliberate action on your part not have any physical face off/altercation with your in law. It's not easy though but we can do all things through Christ that strengthens us.

2. Tell your husband: You will be doing more harm than good if you confront your in law yourself. Your husband should be the one in the best position to show his mother her place, most times in strong terms. So tell your hubby about how his mom treats you so that he can get to the bottom of the matter.

3. Keep your distance: That's one of the ways to avoid trouble. U are simply keeping out of your in law's way while u go about your business. Do it respectfully, not sarcastically. This is enough to pass a message to her that u simply don't want her wahala.

 4. Silence: If she still goes out of her way to harass u, keep your composure and pretend u didn't notice. Ignoring someone can be a powerful tool for subduing that one. Ur silence at her rants makes u unpredictable and it can scare her too. Lol!

5. Show her love (Rom 12:20): You know why? Cos love always wins. 'Owe no one anything but love'(Rom 13:8). What ever happens, what ever she does, love her, respect her, tolerate her, be courteous, don't give her an attitude, only let the peace that passes all understanding keep your heart and your mind by Christ Jesus (Phil 4:7).

6. Pray for her: Prayer works. Pray for your MIL and since the heart of the king is God's hand.., turning it whichever way He wills (Pro 21:1),  then be assured that your prayer made in faith can change everything. It may take years but believe the God who can do all things.

Celebrities sell their souls to the devil for fame and fortune

By
It is said that most Hollywood celebrities, to get to where they are today, made a deal with the devil...they sold their souls for fame and fortune. By selling their souls they submit to Satan so that he totally uses, enslaves and possesses their life, body, mind, will and soul. Satan's goal and agenda becomes theirs. Their life is no more their own. So let it not surprise you when their songs or movies serve Satan's purpose of driving men into deeper darkness. These celebrities are idolized and literally worshiped but clearly they serve Satan and channel demonic spirits through their music and movies. From the likes of Madonna,Jay Z, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Nicky Minaj ,Eminem, Bob Dylan and so so many others, these are known to be demon possessed having sold their souls to the devil. Melyssa Ford, a Canadian hip hop model and actress ,said in an interview, "If your ultimate goal is to be famous, you have to do a lot to get there like sign your name in blood i...

Late Hollywood actress, Marilyn Monroe, told Billy Graham, "I don't need your Jesus."

By
She had the perfect life anyone could dream of; remarkable wealth and great fame. Despite all that, Marilyn kept all of her sufferings to herself. One day during filming, a preacher named Billy Graham visited her. He said the Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her. After hearing what the Preacher had to say, she said: "I don't need your Jesus". During that time, Monroe who was allegedly having a romantic affair with the President of the United States, John F Kennedy. A week later, she was found dead in her bedroom. Theories of her death started to spread. Some say she was assassinated because of political conspiracies and in the end, the most accepted theory up to this day is she committed suicide. It shows that she was suffering from a severe depression. In fact it is actually the right time for her to seek God, asking for help, not to take the easy way out by taking her own life. *Hmmm... One day soon I will write on Marily...

See how music is used to cast spells...(A must read)

By
We love music, but do you know there could be more to music than we bargained for? The devil is desperate and we should not be ignorant of his devices and this is one of them. One weapon that he always uses is subtlety . Here's what I pulled from a Wiccan website concerning Magickal music or let me say how they cast spells in music: "A magick spell is the integration of an intent with a physical representation of that intent.  "For instance, when you make a Witch’s spell pouch, out of a cloth and some herbs and oils and objects, each of those items represents a part of your intent. And in the magick, you are binding those two things: your intention and the physical world. "This brings your intention into form in the physical world. That's how magick spells work. In magickal music, the intention is wrapped up into a song, and bound into it. "When I create magickal songs, I do it with the guidance of the Divine. In a meditative state...
