Super Spiritual Gossips.

I do feel there are Christians who are Spiritual gossips. These people may believe that they are Super Spiritual people who know you better than you know yourself or you have problems, that is spread by them throughout the church.  So, beware of the Super Spiritual gossip(s).

For example,  you may go and have prayer time with them (after a couple of months feeling down), then the person decides to tell you that they have seen things in the spirit and indicate that this is your problem.  However, they may have talked to others about your problems and decided that you need help. One answer could be to trust in the Lord with all you mind, soul and heart.  Don't get me wrong, I feel that people should pray for each other at church, home, or prayer groups but don't become the Super Spiritual, it may create problems with people or people thinking they have a certain problem, which may not be the case.

The best thing I find is when people give me a word from God, I  will then take it to the Lord in prayer, He will show me if they were right or not and also Jesus is the main person to show us the way within life.

The Bible tells us, Set a guard over my mouth O Lord, keep watch over the door of my lips. Psalm 141:3 (NIV).  This scripture could indicate that you may need to watch what you say to others or let the Lord give you the words to say directly to others, rather than gossiping around the church. It is best to be honest with each other, even though the result isn't what you were expecting.

If you get a word about someone or feel to contact them while praying, do it as soon as you can but again do it one on one. Another scripture is from Ephesians 4:15, Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into Him who is the Head, that is, Christ.  Here we see a couple of good points.  Firstly, speak truthfully to one another  and encourage each other in love, such as, when you have problem with someone in the church, go directly to that person and speak to them.  Secondly,  Jesus is the truth, the way and the life, not man or women.
