It’s crazy how some people are quick to believe the stories in gossip. They sit there and let a gossip-demon get every word out. I’m wondering what kind of person listens to all of that. The person listening to gossip is a  guilty party as far as I am concerned. That energy of gossip takes two or more. (1) You have the person telling it, (2) The person listening to it, and then, (3) The most deadly in all of it, is the one spreading it. They tell people what they have heard. They don’t verify it, they don’t go to the person who is talked about. They just believe it on the strength of the gossip-demon. You have to tell the gossip-demon that you don’t want to hear it.

I’ve had people come to me to tell me about what someone else have done or what incident has happened and the incident didn’t even involve them . I ask them if they have spoken to the person. Suddenly, they get this dumb look on their face, and then I say, “Go talk to them”. Another thing that I do when the gossip-demon is in mid-sentence of gossiping, I walk away and if I’m on my scooter, I’ll roll fast away just like that because I don’t want to hear that. But I’ll do all of that after I have tried to change the conversation a couple times. If the gossip-demon is bent on talking about others, Yes, I’m off somewhere else. I will not be the number two to the three-part gossip ring.

What is the purpose of telling me? How does that gratify you? I don’t want that kind of energy coming at me. When I notice a person with that gossip-demon on them, I stay away from them. I don’t feel they could be trusted with anything, if you know what I mean.

What kind of conversations could I have with that kind of person. I’m not that kind of person. I think people who listen to gossip about others  want the information  to be true or maybe they don’t care if the information is true. Basically, a gossip-demon is  basic and  just wants to be the first to spread whatever false or true information they have acquired and of course, they like drama.

I’ve never liked that idle chit chat talk about others. If a gossip-demon gossips about others, you can bet they are gossiping about you too. I am a gossip survivor being exposed to it at a young age. I hated it then and I hate it even more today. I guess because I’m older and I expect more from people my age and older.

Let me share with you a Gg story.  There’s this gossip- demon I met a couple years ago, before I knew she was a gossip- demon and she did what gossipers do, she gossiped. She straight up told lies about my friend, so you know I was done with that gossip- demon after she revealed herself. I avoid her when I see her. But this one time, I’m at the market and I see her walking up the opposite way. At first, I was going to spin my basket and make a U-turn. But then I thought, just keep walking and look at the frozen foods. I thought this moment would go away, but no, she ran right up to me talking loud, “Hey Gg!” and talking about how I don’t speak to her when I see her at the senior center.

See, that’s the thing, I do see her. I see she is insecure to spread lies about others. I see that she and people like her are childish. I see that she wants to be some type of center of attention. I see, she has a gossip spirit and I stay clear of it. She knows to stay clear of me, well at least, I thought she did, until she bombarded  me on isle three. I don’t know what possessed her to come running over to me at the market.

I felt so high jacked because she was forcing a loud conversation I didn’t want. She should be grateful that I am spiritually grounded and grown because I would have told her about herself in front of everyone at the market. I don’t speak to her when I see her or she sees me. She is not my cup of tea. She’s too gossipy. So far, lucky for me, I haven’t seen her since.

One of the problems with gossip is, it makes people who listen to it, believe they have to take sides. But I say, be on your own side and don’t listen to it. Be on your own side and change the conversation of it. Be on your own side and walk away from it. Gossip divides people and division is a bad energy. As you could see in 2 Corinthians 12:20, apostle Paul wrote about him meeting up with the people who engaged in such acts of gossip and slander, so you see, that gossip-demon has been around for a while.

I don’t think gossiping demons can help it and I don’t know if they even recognize that they carry this energy. But what I do know is, it starts with truth, so you, the number two person, walk away from it.

Let number one know, you don’t want to hear it. You don’t want be be involved in it and certainly you don’t want to be in the middle of it.

It’s funny to me how it’s mostly people calling themselves christian or catholic who initiates this type of behavior even after repentance from their savior. This last part is for you christians, apostle Paul is said to write in Ephesians 4:31, you be the one to put away the malicious gossip. Yes, gossip- demons can be christian too. How about not letting it be you.
