~ Psalms 1:1

  • Language 

Verse(s):   

Proverbs 12:26 - The godly give good advice to their friends; the wicked lead them astray.

Proverbs 17:17 – A friend is always loyal, and a brother is born to help in time of need 

Proverbs 17:56 - An open rebuke is better than hidden love! Wounds from a sincere friend are better than many kisses from an enemy.

  • Jesus is the model 
  • Holy Spirit helps you discern 

Verse(s):   

Proverbs 22:24-25 – Don’t befriend angry people or associate with hot-tempered people, or you will learn to be like them and endanger your soul.

In the end - Keep your freedom from spiritual prison:  CONFESS, ASK FORGIVENESS, and REPENT
