In Psalm 7, the Psalmist is experiencing being slandered by Cush the Benjamite, and is crying out for vindication from God.

 I can relate with how painful it can be, when you are falsely accused or slandered.

  And also how much you really want to release fire and brimstone on those slanderers.

This year, it is important to rein in your anger, and not allow slanderous people to get under your skin. 

Firstly, you should work on building up your self esteem, so that people’s opinions of you would not hurt you.

Secondly, it is important that you must function as the righteousness of God: so that  if slandered, you can seek vindication from God, as David did. 

Thirdly, understand that there is a time to confront evil, and a time to resist the devil.

Slanderers have deep seated resentment and bitterness against their objects.

Confronting them will only  enable their vindictive manipulations and verbiage. 

So much so that, the more you attempt to vindicate yourself, the  more vitriol they will spew.

However,  If you need to take legal actions in order to redeem your reputation, go for it.

But generally, it is more effective to ask God to vindicate you, than to rely on getting justice from a corrupt  justice system. 

Fourthly, you resis slanderers by taking the shield of faith and the Sword of the Spirit: which means that you must engage their demons at the place of spiritual warfare. 

You do so by standing strong in faith and countering all their evil words, with the Word of God.

Action:

Declare that all the antics of slanderers, aimed at assassinating your character are nullified. 

Also affirm who God’s Word says you are, and command all the demons of slander, anger, resentment,  false accusations and their relatives to get out of your affairs.

You can also declare that everyone you were slandered  to, will receive confirmations in their spirit, that they were lied to.

Additionally, declare 1 John 3:8 and proclaim what it says.

Finally, make a decision not to be that person who slanders others, ever again, and will only speak words that bless, encourage and edify, in the name of Jesus Christ.

You may need to review a previous post about Slander, from my blog spiritualwarrior2016.blog 

We have just two more days before this series ends.

Tomorrow we read Psalm 8

#MyPrayer4you;

I declare that slanderers cannot function in your orbit, and that you will be a blessing in your world, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.
