And then I think another attribute to where you know you need to step away from the relationship or from the friendship is when the other person openly is rejected of Jesus Christ. Matthew 10, 14 says, if anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that at home or town and shake the dust off of your feet.

So what I mean when people openly reject Jesus, I'm not even just talking about people who would be atheists or agnostic and just completely hesitant toward the things of God, but even people and even friends that you may have who are rejective to God's word and People who are not able to receive correction or rebuke, like people who refuse for you to let them sharpen them.

I think that's a huge indicator. I think that was like, that there, that was a lot of areas where personally with my friendships where I felt the Lord was calling me out of a lot of them because I, I was the one to always sharpen other people, but no one was sharpening me. And I was like, what the heck is going on?

And I was like, what the heck is going on?

And I think there was, there was a spiritual imbalance because maybe I could have been more sound in doctrine or maybe I could spend more time in my secret place, whatever it may be. And that the other person like didn't call me out in areas where I wanted correction. And I wanted that, that I wanted, I wanted to receive and know where, you know, I'm wrong and get sharpened in those areas.

But it was almost as if The other person wasn't equipped to like sharpen me and call me out. But then there's been times where I've had relationships to where I was in a position of authority because of our relationship to call that person out by the spirit of God leading by his conviction. And the person didn't receive it because they're so offended.

And therefore, because of their offense, they can't receive the things of God because they're too offended. They're too traumatized and they're thinking about themselves way too much.

And so I think that was like one of the things I like struggled with when it came to friendships and kind of the cause as to why I had to let some of my friends go, especially as I started to evolve in ministry was because there were just some people who didn't want to be sharpened or didn't have the tools to sharpen me when I was sharpening them.

And that what that's what it means to be equally oats, because if I'm just sharpening one side, I'm going to get doled out because I'm doing way too much work. But then there's like another side where it's like I'm needing to get sharpened and I'm needing to I'm needing to grow and I need someone to also hold me to that same standard.

And it's just basically seeing in the spirit that way of the friends that you have, you should sharpen one another and it shouldn't be out of harshness. It shouldn't be rude. It shouldn't be kind. It should be gentle. It should be kind. clothed in truth. And if it needs to be said sternly, it can, but let it be from an intentional heart and not anything that's like self-righteous.

And so that was one attribute. Another attribute is those who operate in anger or lack of self-control. Proverbs 24 or 22, 24 through 25 says, do not make friends with a hot tempered person. Do not associate with one easily angered, or you may learn their ways and get yourself ensnared.
