MANIPULATION 101
"GOD SAID...GOD SHOWED ME..." It gets old listening to a broken record. Do you realize that your behaviour and speech is continually encouraging others to be just like you?
There are multiple forms of manipulation. Emotional, mind, relational, religious, guilt tripping, so forth and so on. Just because a person puts God's name in front of or behind a comment or includes it somewhere while attempting to convince you of his or her point, does not mean that what they are saying is truth. People have personal agendas. Some are obvious and some are well hidden.
You have nothing to fear if you have a genuine relationship with your Creator. Practice living His word and doing those things that are pleasing in His sight, and make a conscious effort to examine yourself daily in light of His Holy truth and love. Renew your mind so that you will be able to test approve what is the acceptable, perfect, pleasing will of God. (Romans 12)
People blame God for alot of things. There is nothing wrong with admitting that God has spoken to you. Isaiah 52:6 says that HE IS THE GOD WHO SPEAKS. The possible problem I would like to warn you of is quite a few folks try to validate what they are saying (no matter what it is) by adding some little phrase in hopes that others will approve or think they are legit in whatever it is they are trying to prove or get away with. In the end all it proves to be is a bunch of words that cause frustrations and needless stife that amounts to nothing.
