Lifting Skirts
Do not uncover the sins of another by thinking and talking about their sin. When you do you also uncover or open the door of your own spirit and allow darkness to enter. Love covers sin. It does not expose it. Ask Me to remove memory of the sin you saw so I can make your attitude toward that one pure and full of unhindered Love. Remember the heights of pride from which you yourself have fallen. You do not want Me to remember and expose your own sin. Ask Me to help you notice that which is good in others. Then you can speak words of encouragement and good reports. Gen. 9:20-27 20 Now Noah became a farmer and decided to plant a vineyard. 21 One day he drank too much of the wine he had made and fell into a deep, drunken sleep in his tent. As he lay there stark naked, 22 Ham (the father of Canaan). peeked in and saw his father’s exposed body. After leaving the tent, he told his two brothers what he had seen. 23 So Shem and Japheth took a large cloak and laid it across their shoulders, and they walked backward into the tent. They never looked behind, as they covered their father’s nakedness. Out of respect, they purposely kept their faces turned away, so they wouldn’t see their father lying there naked. 24 When Noah regained consciousness and realized what his youngest son had done, 25 he uttered this curse: Noah: A curse upon your son, Canaan! May he become the lowest of servants to his brothers. 26 May the Eternal One, the God of Shem, be blessed, and let Canaan be his slave!27 May God make plenty of room for Japheth’s family and give them homes among Shem’s tents. And let Canaan be his slave also! Prov. 10:12 Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all wrongs. Prov. 17:9 Those who forgive faults foster love, but those who repeatedly recall them ruin relationships.
