Yup sure have! Thanks for reminding us to walk in the spirit and when we get our eyes off God and look at our circumstances or people we will walk in the flesh!

I can relate to this fully, and it is by filling my mind with the Word and using it in situations when the Holy Spirit speaks it. For example, I have the gift of discernment, and someone who I work with was speaking to me disrespectfully in anger, not only that but attempting to lure me into a conversation where I discerned that, he expected me to lie, and asked me a question for which he already knew the answer. A soft answer turns away wrath was what God gave me as I pondered how I should answer, plus I was inspired to use a warm loving tone for the entire conversation, and to overcome evil with love.

What is different about me is everything, because I am crucified with Christ, yet I live, and it is not easy to deny the flesh, but worth it, for Jesus suffered for me, so I will gladly suffer being humiliated or disrespected so that I may win some to Christ through my loving behavior. I also have the gift of intercession and wisdom, and God spoke to me to pray for this person to be filled with the spirit of conviction and repentance and joy. So I do pray, and continue to pray, for my Father hears my cries and delights to answer.
