In this series, I am using ideas from the book, written in 1948, and putting a modern day perspective to the topic. Nagging and fault finding rarely held the child. They will usually tune us out and won't learn from the natural consequences of their behavior. Thank you for listening and subscribing to the Positive Parenting Pep Talks podcast.

We all tend to find faults in others, instead of seeing (and working with) our own shortcomings. And the basic problem is us expecting perfection in the material world. We think that if other people and all material situations are as ideal as we want them to be, then we will be happy. Which couldn't be further from the truth. In this talk, Balakhilya and Ruben discuss how by following a spiritual path (and shifting our association) we gradually develop an aversion to faultfinding. Instead of looking at the faults of others we become aware of our own imperfections. As you'll hear, faultfinding goes completely against our spiritual wellbeing, since it feeds the false ego and false prestige. Passing judgement on others, we are really only passing judgement on ourselves. We also look deeper at the topic of introspection; how being honest with ourselves is crucial in the process of spiritual development. Seeing our faults and admitting them, we're able to pray for help to overcome our faults. And through meditation cleanse our hearts from the thorn of this faultfinding tendency. Highlights: (5:40) We are attracted to finding faults with others, as we try to elevate ourselves to a higher position than them(16:01) Faultfinding is an avenue for self aggrandizement, and it feeds the false ego and false prestige; which are all enemies of the soul, of ourselves. And it makes for disharmony and discord in society(23:52) Being in the age of Kali Yuga, we are influenced in a very destructive way. But if I don't think I have any problem, I don't think I need to be cured.(34:11) The story of a king choosing which one of his two sons he should hand his kingdom to; the good man sees the good and all the bad man sees the bad(41:41) Becoming a "mental hypochondriac" is not the solution either, just focusing on "I'm so bad”. It's still self-centred.(45:24) We cannot overcome our faults through willpower or a decision to be a better person. Our work is instead to make it so that I'm in contact with a cleansing agent; a purifying lifestyle. Recorded on August 23, 2021.

The Faultfinding Disease. Lecture delivered by His Holiness on philosophy, principles, and practices of Krishna consciousness based on revealed Vedic scriptures as received in parampara.
We all notice faults, mistakes, and imperfections; probably more in others than in ourselves. But there's a difference between noticing things that are not perfect and actively seeking them out.
Grumbling and faultfinding is a social media pastime. Disciple the children you influence to their own faults and the cure in Jesus. Subscribe to the Christ for Disciplers Podcast to learn more...
We are told, incessantly, that Jesus commanded, "Do Not Judge." But is that really all that should be said on the matter? How does Jesus compare to ancient Judaism on judgment? What was Jesus saying in his own context about judging? When it comes to judging what can God see that we cannot? And, why does the WorldSpirit love to argue that Jesus forbad all judging?

Jonah 4 | Part 4 | 51919. In part four of our Jonah series, our pastor discusses Jonah's response to God's mercy on Ninevah and how the Gospel should motivate us to share the mercy of Christ with others.
Like many of you, I've been confronted by a blaming, faultfinding spirit. From others for sure. But also in myself. That posture towards someone that makes our heart resistant - a little stiff and hard- towards them, so that even if our behavior is technically fine they can sense something's off in us. We've all experienced that from others and I'm pretty sure we've all done that to others. Jesus addresses this in Matthew 7:1-6, which we explore in this episode.

Pride can take shape even in the most positive environments. Helping others can turn into pride as we start to think no one can do it as well as we can. It can be a relationship with someone else simply because you love to be adored. It can be wanting the right job for the reason of being adored or so others will respect you. Pride does everything for itself and not for others. DOWNLOAD PDF SERMON NOTES HERE
Speaker or Performer: Bob Petersen Date of Delivery: April 15, 2018 Dethroning Principalities“I’m building the wall”Graham Cooke - The church is on a collision course with Kingdom right now, and it's not about how can we fit the Kingdom into what we are doing. Forget that! Because God is not going to lower Himself to fit in to what you are doing. What He is going to do is He is going to expand our understanding of the Kingdom and then stretch everything that we do as a community so that we fit everything that heaven wants to do here on earth. (from The Church Has Left The Building)Purpose your gift towards the kingdomWhatever you are called to do make sure the primary reason for you doing it is the kingdomSome are called to governmentSome are called to make moneySome are called to serve inside of the church, etc.Make sure to put His kingdom firstGod will not anoint what is not for HimAnd “all these things” will not be added to you.Get kingdom quotes from other peopleVision of area to ruleVision off brown cloudThis brown cloud gets to exist because people gave it authorityCovenants exist by agreement of wordsAre we in covenant with demonic principalities and powers through our bad thoughts, words and actionsWe're dethroned the powers within our church walls. It was our JerichoNow it's time to go to our area and take the land.Ephesians 6:10-13 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.2 CORINTHIANS 10:3-5 AMP “For though we walk in the flesh [as mortal men], we are not carrying on our [spiritual] warfare according to the flesh and using the weapons of man. The weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and a]. Our weapons are divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying sophisticated arguments and every exalted and proud thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought and purpose captive to the obedience of Christ,”Jesus taught His disciples the kingdom and they took ownershipLuke 10:17-19 NAS “The seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name. And He said to them, I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning. Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you.”God told His people to “Wipe them out Utterly destroy” their enemies.If we all did what the Bible says no demonic authority would have legal authority to be in power.Apostolic government vs man's governmentReligious system did not like Jesus governmental authority. “who have you this authority”From “brown clouds” come rainIn our area the rain is religionReligious rain causes thoughtsThoughts cause words and actionsLook at the religious leaders words and actions towards Jesus and you’ll see what the rain contains.Condemnation, guilt and shame coming from...Accusation, self-righteousness, unrighteous judgementIt's the leaven of the PhariseesThe leaven of the kingdom is strongerRick Joyner, Overcoming the Accuser - In 1989, I had an experience in which I was caught up into the presence of the Lord. In this experience, I was a witness to the anger of the Lord over abortion. But to my surprise, His anger was directed at the church and not the heathen. He declared that if the church had not aborted the spiritual seeds that He had planted in her for missions, outreaches, and even the simple witness to our neighbors—then the heathen would not be living in such darkness and would not be aborting their natural seed.Rick Joyner - The church released abortion by aborting God's plans in themWe released abortion by worship the creatureRomans 1:18-27 NAS 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. 21 For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.24 Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. 25 For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.26 For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27 and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.We can't just start punching at themOur authority through words and actions released themOur authority through words and actions can bind themThe Final Quest by Rick Joyner - The demonic army was so large that it stretched as far as I could see. It was separated into divisions, with each carrying a different banner. The foremost divisions marched under the banners of pride, Self-righteousness, Respectability, Selfish Ambition, Unrighteous Judgment, and Jealousy. There were many more of these evil divisions beyond my scope of vision, but those in the vanguard of this terrible horde from hell seemed to be the most powerful. The leader of this army was the Accuser of the Brethren himself.The weapons carried by this horde were also named. The swords were named Intimidation; the spears were named Treachery; and the arrows were named Accusation, Gossip, Slander and Faultfinding. Scouts and smaller companies of demons with such names as Rejection, Bitterness, Impatience, Unforgiveness and Lust were sent in advance of this army to prepare for the main attack.The most shocking part of this vision was that this horde was not riding on horses, but primarily on Christians! As they agreed with those powers their assigned demons grew and more easily directed their actions.It was obvious that these believers had only to stop agreeing with their demons in order to get free of them. We MUST stop with the criticising, unjust judging.We are told to judge as an analyzation of whether a teaching is biblical.By breaking agreement with it we dethrone it. By refusing to agree with it we don't allow us to be.
How many of you enjoy difficult conversations? How many of you have had a difficult conversation? My guess is many of you have. It doesn't make it any easier. Each situation you face requires courage and empathy. Difficult conversations are often viewed as conflicts. Difficult conversations are never easy but they are simple. Some people believe that if you avoid having these difficult conversations or avoid discussing the elephant in the room that they'll just go away. What happens when you will avoid a difficult conversation? This behaviour actually compounds it adding more discomfort and even tension to the room. It could eventually blow up and cause a lot of damage in relationships. Avoiding Difficult Situations Why do you think we avoided it? There can be a number of reasons why we avoid having difficult conversations: Some people believe that if you talk about the difficult situation you're only making it worse by adding fuel to the fire per se. Others believe that difficult conversations make both parties feel that so why would we want to go there? When we have those difficult conversations, sometimes there's nothing preparing us for what we might be told. The uncertainty of the impact and the outcome can make people uneasy. I remember when I was a new manager at performance conversation my manager had suggested that an area of personal development for me was to get more involved in people management and being able to handle those difficult conversations. I was very wary about inking that on paper. I now understand why because as soon as I inked it on paper it was like the universe was saying and ‘Here it is!” Difficult conversations seem to come fast and furious. There were times that I could feel my stomach flipping but play out the conversations in my head and sometimes I was even sick to my stomach because I was so uncertain of the outcome. As time went on, I developed a system in which I no longer am afraid to have a difficult conversation and my stomach doesn't flip out as much on occasionally uneasy but not to the point that I feel I need to visit the bathroom. Everyone Wants to Be Heard The one thing that I feel is most important when having a difficult conversation is that everyone's voice be heard whether you agree with it or not. You must take a nonjudgmental approach where you challenge your assumptions by asking yourself questions. It is important to stick to the facts. I'm not saying that your emotions are not important however they may not be the drivers of the miscommunication or the feedback that needs to be delivered. When Emotions Run High When emotions are high, it's best to give it space and time to let it settle out. When emotions are high, people may say things that they later regret and did not intend. What happens is, there is a part of the brain that tries to protect you and when emotions are high you do not think rationally. Knowing this, you might choose to step back from the situation to really gain a clear picture and gather those facts. Acknowledge that there may be differences. Even though, you are putting the emotions aside as you review the facts, it doesn't mean that what had occurred or the feedback gifts delivered to have an impact on you. Take Time to Self-Reflect It is important to do some self-reflection especially when the miscommunication may be with you and another person. Do check-in on yourself and take responsibility for your contribution to the miscommunication or the problem - I call this “owning your stuff.” People forget that it takes two people to tango and have a conversation. Each person comes forward with their own contribution to a situation. Put aside all blaming or complaining. Faultfinding does not help people move forward. Preparation Meets Conversation One of the best ways to prepare for difficult conversation is to prepare and script out, rehearse, and even role-play what you would like to say to take the a...
