Here’s the truth⬇️
1. See danger → don’t stay…run away.
Proverbs 22:3 “The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.”
2. Don’t stay connected to abusive patterns.
2 Timothy 3:1–5 “…abusive… without self-control… lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.”
3.Have nothing to do with evil—expose it.
Ephesians 5:11 “Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.”
4. The enemy uses people to destroy people. (read that again)
2 Timothy 2:25–26 “…they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.”
5. Grace doesn’t change a hardened heart.
Isaiah 26:10 “But when grace is shown to the wicked, they do not learn righteousness…”
6. Patterns reveal who someone really is…Pay attention to patterns, not promises.
Matthew 7:16 “By their fruit you will recognize them…”
7. Set limits with divisive, harmful people and have nothing to do with them.
Titus 3:10–11 “Warn a divisive person once, and then warn them a second time. After that, have nothing to do with them.”
‼️Notice that none of these verses indicate exceptions when it’s a spouse, parent or other significant person in your life.
