How Do You Resist Gossip Personally and When Hearing it From Others?

[@lenamorrison3700]

Thank you for this video! I just started working and the gossipy environment can be tempting. Now I see there are good ways to resist it.

Would it be going to God first and then to our husbands as a regular practice? I feel it’s necessary to go direct to God for wisdom/healing/peace and then if necessary to talk to our husbands. I am single however it has been a tremendous blessing to go straight to God rather than others has changed my life 🕊

[@nostalgiablues23]

Agree... God first and find someone you can talk to privately, safely someone who won't tolerate things... but patient enough to listen and would direct you back to God. Accountability do really matter. Based on experience!

So here's the challenge for a repentant Christian: how in the world can they address past gossip? How do they go back and tell those about whom they spoke that they did gossip about them, and that they are sorry? This seems the biggest challenge (after stopping gossip, that is). I have SO much regret about things I said about other people, fellow believers, and I'm overwhelmed by my sins!

Take heart, confess in private (to safeguard our tongues!), repent, and with joy be conformed to the likeness of Christ. Who knows? A fellow believer may have grace to share. If anything’s ablaze by these wily tongues, may the Lord tame the flames. It may take time to heal and train the tongue in gracious words, but that's the way of sanctification and redemption. And our God is very good at these things :) May the grace of God overwhelm you more.

I bind to hell peope being played out against one another through gossip and slander in my life, the lives of my family, friends, colleagues, neighbours, acquitances, opponents and the body of Christ while binding to hell one to desire to gossip and slander, binding to hell being unequally yoked and having any common share with those who play people out against one another through gossip and slander and those desiring gossipibg and slandering, in accordance with this word and proverbs 20:19, proverbs 25:9-10, 2 corinthians 6:14-18 in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, amen and hallelujah ❤!

The Bible says... “If another believer sins against you, go privately and point out the offense. If the other person listens and confesses it, you have won that person back. But if you are unsuccessful, take one or two others with you and go back again, so that everything you say may be confirmed by two or three witnesses. If the person still refuses to listen, take your case to the church. Then if he or she won’t accept the church’s decision, treat that person as a pagan or a corrupt tax collector. Matthew 18:15-17 But we usually do this... If another believer sins against you, go publicly and point out the offense. If the other people listen to your gossip, you have won those people to your sinful behavior. But if you are unsuccessful, talk with one or two others about the problem you had with your friend, and ask them to agree with you that you have been wronged. So that everything you say about how wronged you were, may be confirmed by two or three other gossip minded witnesses. If the person still has no clue that they have wronged you, take your case ("prayer request") to the church prayer meeting. Then if he or she are able to figure out that you are talking about them... then you may hold them at arm's length, until you become so bitter and self-enraged towards the individual that you have a problem with, that you end up being so filled with self-righteous indignation, that it causes you to turn your face from God and you are consumed with so much pain that you are unable to function for the cause of the Lord Jesus Christ. This is a miserable, sinful parody on Matthew 18:15-17

We don't need to tell our spouses everything our friends tell us. If they wanted our spouses to know, they would tell them

[@kevindavis4709]

This is why real men don’t want a woman friend. Because he’ll be listening to her vent about either her boyfriend or husbands problems.
