Rightness or Righteousness

When confronted with a situation that is scary or offensive or combative, our response should be sourced in the identity of Christ – the fruit of His Spirit (Galatians 5:22,23). Basic.

Because I sometimes misread a situation or someone’s intentions, I may be responding wrong – my misbelief can be misleading me. Presumption or a stronghold in my mind can make me misunderstand.

It is better to be wrong in my understanding of a situation and responding to that perspective in the Spirit than to be right about what is going on, but responding to it in the flesh. The possibility of things becoming blessing is increased by manifesting the fruit of the Spirit.

If I am in the Spirit, He can change my mind to understand the circumstances. If I am in the flesh, I am bringing death to the encounter even if I have the facts right (Galatians 5:16-21).
