Palms 109???

Question

Im having issues with some females that live in my apartment complex. They don't know me but they don't like me. They don't share the same kind of values i do. I carry myself like a lady, i go to school, and i work part time to support my 2 children. I don't hang out, and i stay to myself and i am quiet. one of the girls wrote on my air conditioning unit "monica wuz here and I hate bitches" I knew she was talking about me. my friend told me to read palms 109 every day to keep the enemies away. what can i do about these females that keep bothering me? i just want to live in peace. is it true that reading this scripture will keep the enemies away? what does it really mean?

for those who implied about my attitude, it is quite the contrary. my attitude has nothing to do with it. I am not snobby or anything like that, nor do i think i am better, but i carry myself well to live in subsdized housing where the typical negative stereotype apllies daily to the females that do not do anything with themselves. I do acknowledge people and speak and smile. there is nothing wrong with isolating yoursef from a negative crowd it is not the same as isolating yourself from the world, just a specific crowd. so please read the entire question, and if you feel you need to pass judgement don't bother to answer.

Answer 1

Reading God word is always a great way to help in you problem. I live in an apartment that is filled with evil and anger and i am attacked by evil all the time so i know where your coming from. I read the bible too, but i read psalm 23. Doing this and talking to a pastor will help you also. God is there for you and will not give you more than you can handle. Ephesians is a great book to read so you can put on the full armor of God. We both have the same thing happening to us and we will both (with Gods help) get through this.

Answer 2

Soory that you are having trouble. I'm guessing it's more than just the air conditioning thing, right?
First, you need to know that whoever told you to read Psalm 109 in order to keep the enemies away was incorrect. Using scripture in that manner is a misuse of it...scripture is NOT some sort of an amulet or magical spell. That won't work.
If you read scripture, I hope it is with the intent of learning and knowing it.
As for your problem there, document what they do, then go to the apartment office. Only if you are sure, but don't expect much to be done. These days, as long as money is changing hands, not much gets done.
Meaning, as long as their rent is being paid, management won't care.
Maybe they will.

Answer 3

Have you spoken with these women? How do you really know they dislike you? You see yourself as different to them in your approach to life, and that may be so, but it soes not mean they dislike you in any active way.

In fact, they may not even think about you much at all. As for seeing 'I hate b***ches written on a wall, that could mean anything ~ perhaps the person who wrote it just doesn't like female dogs!!

If you wish to read Psalm 109 for its beauty and poetry, or to enjoy the religious benefits of its wisdom, do so by all means.

But to condemn people you don't even know for some imagined 'issues' is being a little paranoid and a lot judgemental ~ you may be making a drama out of nothing, and if you tried to actually get to know these women you may find an apartment block full of friends, instead of imagined conflicts which may, or may not, be real.

Good luck! :-)

Answer 4

Nothing can protect you from enemies.
Psalm 109 and the rest of the Bible promises that when enemies are around us, God will be there to protect us.

The writing on the A/C unit may not be pleasant, but it hasn't really hurt you.

People usually don't like things and people they don't know.
You don't have to become best-buds with the others, but if you are a Christian, you might be missing an opportunity to minister hope to them.

Answer 5

That is not the right approach.

This is the right approach:

Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Kill them with kindness.

Answer 6

Reading bible verses is not going to keep people from bothering you, that is silly. The bible is just a man made book.

But the cocking of a 12 guage shotgun is something that usually keeps people away.

Answer 7

Honey, don't only read this scripture, but also pray this scriputre, pray it out loud to God. King David wrote this psalm. David was angry at being attacked by evil people who slandered him and lied. Yet David remained a friend and a man of prayer. While we must hate evil and work to overcome it, we must love everyone, including those who do evil, because God loves them. We are called to hate sin, but love the person. Only through God's strength will we be able to follow David's example.

Answer 8

Firstly, dont let them get to you...and yes reading the bible really will help you..if you know that you're not in the wrong then get on with your life and God will open a way for you to get away from them other females...Gud Luck

Answer 9

The Bible is not a "genie in a bottle." It is not magic. It is the living Word of God. I am puzzled. How can people not know you yet not like you?

Answer 10

God tells us to pray for your enemies! His Word is powerful - read all of it and pray for your safety and opportunity to share God's love with others. Jesus Christ is crazy about you! check out www.3abn.org
