“WOE IS ME! 67
…MY SOUL HAS DWELT TOO LONG WITH ONE WHO HATES PEACE.

I AM FOR PEACE; BUT WHEN I SPEAK, THEY ARE FOR WAR.”
Ps. 120:5-121:1

THE MAIN SOURCE OF RELATIONAL CONFLICT THE
SPIRIT OF TRUTH SPIRIT OF ERROR

PEACE "DO NOT THINK THAT I CAME TO BRING PEACE ON EARTH. WAR
I DID NOT COME TO BRING PEACE BUT A SWORD.

FOR I HAVE COME TO 'SET A MAN AGAINST HIS FATHER, A DAUGHTER AGAINST
HER MOTHER, AND A DAUGHTER-IN-LAW AGAINST HER MOTHER-IN-LAW';
AND 'A MAN'S ENEMIES WILL BE THOSE OF HIS OWN HOUSEHOLD.’'
Matt 10:34-37

PEACEMAKERS “DO YOU SUPPOSE THAT I CAME TO GIVE PEACE ON EARTH? TROUBLEMAKERS
I TELL YOU, NOT AT ALL, BUT RATHER DIVISION. FOR FROM NOW ON
SOURCE OF WISDOM: FIVE IN ONE HOUSE WILL BE DIVIDED: THREE AGAINST TWO, AND TWO SOURCE OF WISDOM:

AGAINST THREE. FATHER WILL BE DIVIDED AGAINST SON AND SON
AGAINST FATHER, MOTHER AGAINST DAUGHTER AND DAUGHTER
AGAINST MOTHER, MOTHER-IN-LAW AGAINST HER DAUGHTER-IN-LAW

AND DAUGHTER-IN-LAW AGAINST HER MOTHER-IN-LAW.“
Luke 12:51-53
