“Apply the Positive Practice of IGNORE the Haters.”

Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem the Arab, and the rest of our enemies (i.e. Haters) found out that I had finished rebuilding the wall and that no gaps remained—though we had not yet set up the doors in the gates. ² So Sanballat and Geshem sent a message asking me to meet them at one of the villages^[a] in the plain of Ono. But I realized they were plotting to harm me, ³ so I replied by sending this message to them: “I am engaged in a great work, so I can’t come. Why should I stop working to come and meet with you?” ⁴Four times they sent the same message, and each time I gave the same reply. (Nehemiah 6:1-4) NLT

IGNORE the Haters: give no attention or affection to the things or people who are bound to distract you. (BKLC)

Dr. Rosché says:  IGNORE is often used in psychology when teaching parents how to IGNORE the negative behaviors of their children in order to change their negative behavior(s).  This same sentiment can be captured in teaching us how to IGNORE our Haters. Haters, meaning those who try to Distract, Discourage, and Destroy us through actions and words unintentionally and especially those who do this intentionally, don’t deserve any of our attention nor affection.  In order to begin IGNORing our Haters we need to practice:

• Resisting the Pull of our natural reaction to respond to their Hatin’. 
• It’s often difficult to not give in to our natural reaction to yell, comment, and acknowledge another person’s negative behavior.  Ignoring requires you to Not Acknowledge them.  Haters have no power unless you acknowledge them (Tinka) 
• Recognize that once you first stop being bothered by your Haters, they will escalate
• Most haters are close to us and Know exactly what to say or do in order to get under our skin.  So once they realize you are trying to be better or not give in to their attacks, they will go Harder in trying to get you to react.  Be like Nehemiah and tell them “I am engaged in a great work, so I can’t come. Why should I stop working to come and meet with you?”  -Haters are not important and therefore should not be your Priority.
• Remember to Stay Consistent
• Consistency in your efforts to IGNORE will over time alleviate you of those Haters.  They will see their efforts have no effect on you so their time is wasted and they will flee.  Resist the Devil, and He will Flee!!  Nehimiah had to tell them 4 times before they stopped and you will have to do the same. 

Bishop Clark says:

Haters are our elevators to the next level

Indicator that we are on the right track to change

Haters Criticize and publicize our weakness to minimize our success

People hate for one of 4 reasons

B ecause of who you are

·         They see something in you that they wish they could be. You are smart, beautiful, determined, positive, loving, caring, outspoken, confident, overall favored by God.

B ecause of what you have

·         They see blessings all around you.  You are God’s Favorite person to Bless.  Thank God for past gifts, present blessings, and future favor!!

B ecause of where you are going

·         They see that God is your Father who has ALL and is helping you be and get MORE! More success, more accomplishments, more positivity, more favor in the eyes of others…

B ecause of what you’re doing  

·         They see your victory before you can even see it and they are mad about it.  They see that God is showing you great favor due to the Faith you have shown by your Works. 

When they Hate GO HARDER!!!

Go Harder in your success.  If you have a successful business, start another one!  If you have a loving relationship, show more affection to your partner! If you are confident, smile brighter! If you have one degree, get another degree!  If you have a house, get nice furniture and a car too!  If you have a story that they know about, write a book! If you are favored, be more thankful and pleasing to God for More Favor!  Go Hard, and send them Home!!!

I know it’s WORK and it’s easier to continue to do the same thing over and over again because you and Drama have become such close friends over the years, but break yourself from this friend and introduce yourself to some new friends named Peace, Hope, and Success. Nobody said it would be easy, but God hasn’t brought you this far to LEAVE you. Remember to ask for HIS Guidance in beginning this process. I am here for you too and I’m willing to answer any questions you may have about what hinders your ability to make progress in this area.
