Bullies Have No Power Over One Who is Christ Filled

Allow no one to bully you into thinking the way they think. We have the freedom to consider what others say, even go to prayer about it, but we must measure everything by the standards of the Bible.

There are many things that others will tell us that sound very good and reasonable, but are not Biblical. If we believe what others tell us without examination, we will end up allowing others to do our thinking for us, rather than thinking with the mind of Christ.

1 Corinthians 2:15-16 "…15 The spiritual man judges all things, but he himself is not subject to anyone’s judgment. 16 “For who has known the mind of the Lord, so as to instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ."

We will run across those who think their way is right, when we do not accept their way, they will bully us in an attempt to make us look bad or mean by not adhering to the standards of others that are not in the Bible.

Proverbs 21:2 "2 Every man's way is right in his own eyes, But the LORD weighs the hearts."

God is the authority over us, He has the final say as to what we should believe and how we should act.

1 John 2:26-28 "…26 I have written these things to you about those who are trying to deceive you. 27 And as for you, the anointing you received from Him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But just as His true and genuine anointing teaches you about all things, so remain in Him as you have been taught. 28 And now, little children, remain in Him, so that when He appears, we may be confident and unashamed before Him at His coming.…"

The world is working to convince us that their way is best and kinder, when often it is not only not kinder but damaging and disobedient to Christ.

Romans 15:7 "7 Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God."


We do not do what we do to be accepted by men, but rather to be acceptable to God. We build an amazing relationship with Christ in us when He always comes first.

Those who want to control you but cannot, will isolate you from them and others, even gossiping to gain the support of others against you. Be glad when these people are gone, they bring nothing of value to the table, only continual contempt and conflict.

We do not have to live under the expectations of others continually. We desire to please those we love when we can, but we are not obligated to follow their unBiblical standards. And, we are never expected to facilitate or accept their disobedience against God.

We are living in a rebellious world right now, not only in the world but in the church. We can expect to be alone often, but we are never completely alone because we have Christ living in us, the One Who created us, the One Who is Truth. What could be more wonderful than that? Nothing, nothing is better than Christ as our Guide.
