I t is good to be brave, but sometime it is better to be wise."Baiting” Is the art of enticement, especially by trickery or strategy. To cause a victim or victims to react to a provocation exactly as intended.
“Baiting” Is a strategy to attack or torment, especially with persistent insults, criticism, or ridicule. To protect yourself against baiting, you must be aware of what the enemy want you to say, and wishes you to do. Do not be a fool and give the enemy what he or she wants. It is like playing a chest game. Every comment, and every questions coming from and enemy must be considered as baiting. Sometime even praises can be deceitful. It is intended to big you up, to shut you up.
WHEN THE ENEMY CANNOT FIND A HOLE IN YOUR ARMOR:
1 Samuel 18:14-15 (KJV) And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the Lord was with him. [15] Wherefore when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he was afraid of him.
When your enemy cannot find a hole in your armor. No weak spot, nothing by which to get you to behave unprofessional, some of them went home and collapse. It is better to make them go home and collapse than go home and rejoice over you.
Proverbs 4:16 (KJV) For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.
COLD-SHOULDER:
Cold-shouldering is design to make you suck up. You fight this, by keeping your distance, the up posit of what your enemies want. When you suck up to people, you are surrendering your dignity to people with controlling spirit.
DEALING WITH PUTS DOWN:
Putdown is design to make the victims feel inadequate. You fight this by stop requesting their so-call high positions. Keep up with your education, out degree the enemy and try to start up on your own.
NEGATIVE COMMENTS AND NAME CALLING:
Negative comments and name-calling are used when the enemy is getting desperate. They cannot find a soft spot in your mental Armor. At one time in New York, my next neighbor was making little offensive comments all week. When I failed to reply, the person said to me. “James it is you I am talking” I reply. “I know” And keep doing my routine.
Proverbs 15:1 (KJV) A soft answer turned away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.
THE NEXT PHASE OF ATTACKS WILL BE PHYSICAL:
Before you get into a physical combat, you must be aware that sometime the enemy wants you to mess he or she up. Therefore, they can win the sympathy of the supervisors, the manager; the police, the judge; the jury, and the court case. If you are in the medical field like a nurse. Sometime patients who never accomplishes anything in their life and has thrown themselves away. Are very insulted when they see a little black nurse, or Filipinos soaring where they failed.
This is insulting, and hurting. You are now in a situation where massive amount of baiting is going to be used against you. Hold your tongues, exit from the room. Go get a second person to work along with you, as you tend to that patient. Make a written report, and remove yourself from that case. If you get into a verbal battle with the patient, it could be considered a verbal abuse, and you have fallen into the dung that the patient set up for you to step in. In other word, you have fallen into the sucker trap. You should have thought about your many years of study. Your student loan that you have to repay, your family and above all your license.
“NO ONE CAN DO A GOOD JOB UNDER OPPRESSION”
Eccles. 7:7 (KJV) Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad;---.
Psalm 125:3 (KJV) For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.
No one can do a good job when you have people oppressing you as you work. You bound to make mistakes. This is a form of baiting. This is design to make you make mistakes as you work. Once you have people on the jobs making little unkind comments, you must go straight to management and put in a complain. I have one supervisor who comes to scold me each day. They the scolding continues for ten minutes. “I walk away from her and go straight to management. I said. “I want this harassment done today, I want the problem to be resolve today” I never had any more problem with that person again. Just be careful, not to have an argument with anyone. When you behave professional, they became afraid of you, and stay out of your way.
Sometime Only Jesus Can Help Us
Acts 4:12 (KJV)Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Romans 5:6 (KJV) For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. Romans 5:7 (KJV) For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. Romans 5:8 (KJV) But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:9 (KJV) Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. Romans 5:10 (KJV) For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. Romans 5:11 (KJV) And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
Matthew 6:33-AV But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Isaiah 55:6-AV Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Isaiah 55:7-AV Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
