Exactly! So if any godly thing, like loving, is to be done, it will have to come through the Spirit in me. And murdering her in my heart is not loving. It is a clamoring within myself to be treated well rather than a pouring out of my self life for her so that my Lord can have the one He loves.
A man once said that if we are being a bridge to God for others, we should not complain that they walk on us.
I think...I AM getting it...
And I think I am to love her rather than murder her. I do not think being despitefully or selfishly used by someone justifies my murdering of them.
Keep pressing on.
Ok I'm going to ask another question.
if tomorrow on one occasion you get angry then you feel you have committed murder then on the next occasion you don't angry.
Which act weighs the heaviest and why? And vice versa
The occasion where I didn't love her weighs the heaviest, because I did not show my Lord to her but instead showed her my selfishness.

Thats why why we have to rely on God, we fail, but Satan wants to point to our failures as end alls, and put us down, do not let him do this,

No I won't!
It makes me pray for what I lack!
Continue, and have others pray with and for you,
Bless you sister.
Ok I am going to go out on a limb here.
If the issue of anger is only with your mother then you don't have an anger issue per se.
The issue is your relationship with your mother.
If that's the case then it needs to go deeper.
I don't think this thread is the place to do that.
If you think I am right do you trust any of the ladies on this site enough to talk to?
Many Godly ladies on here whom I'm sure would walk with you.
If my thoughts are wrong then please tell me.
I want want the best for you as all of do on here, for each other.
Oh thank you bill! He is helping me very well though!
The conversation began by one man saying the Spirit convicts, you agree, then you obey.
So my question was, but HOW do you then obey if anger in your heart means you have already murdered?
Because the only way I have found to get any victory or to obey His command to not murder is to ask Him and trust Him to supply what I lack.
Selfishness is connected to fear and self protection.
If you feel selfish in your relationship with your mother, I wonder if you have forgiven her for the pain she's caused you? And if you've forgiven yourself for any times you've allowed her to cause you pain?

It is obvious that you do not understand English and or most concepts found in the word....I quoted scripture and never said I did or do anything...more proof of how much you reject the word of God in favor of your own dogma...and I see your working for buddies joined you...just like Korah...good luck in the pit!
He has no concept of grace....all he can see is working his way based upon his own righteousness while disregarding and rejecting the imputed righteousness of Christ in favor of his own righteousness and sinless perfectionism.....
Never said nor implied that....go back to school and learn how to read and or English structure....then come back, read my post and be honest with the words and verbiage....especially the quoted verses!
That is all he has.....just his opinion which is the same way he approaches the word of the Living God....he denies the imputed righteousness of Christ, John's inspired word on sin, the plethora of examples found in the word while pushing this Pharisee type self righteous working his way there <----the plenteous in number grouping......!
Amen.....the workers for will never understand it as long as they keep interjecting self, works and sinless perfectionism......
