Confusion, the Fertile Grounds of Subjugation which Distorts Emotions

Why is it that when we use the term  “I’m confused” in one statement, then, in the next one “well if you do this, or do that then you’ll find what you’re looking for” ? How do you expect them to get a clear understanding when you’re telling them ramblings of a confused person’s mind? The definition of confusion is: disorder, upheaval; tumult; chaos. So now that you can see, do you want someone to give you some instructions without understanding? I think not. The Bible puts it this way “The blind leading the blind, they will both fall into a ditch..” (Luke 6:39)

Let’s turn to John 8:43-47:

43 “Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. 44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. 46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? 47 He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.”

When you talk, sing, walk (saint’s walk of life), pray, think, then everything you say and do will always have a hint of confusion in the midst of topics or comments. Then every statement that a confused person says becomes a subjugated infused statement. 

That’s why the word says in Colossians 4:5-6:

5 “Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. 6 Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.”

You may ask, why is this? Why should we not be so quick to speak and give a person the answer they want? Well, the Word says “be quick to listen and slow to speak…” (James 1:19) because you don’t know what words of subjugation you may utter out of your mouth. 

Let’s read Luke 6:45-46:

45 “A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. 46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?”

You’ll know the things you are supposed to walk through and do in life as a child of God. You should be led by the Holy Ghost which leads you by the men of God who have been placed in your life. 

Let’s read James 1:19-22:

19 “Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God 21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. 22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.”

Also read Jeremiah 3:14-15:

14 Turn, O backsliding children, saith the Lord; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion: 15 And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.

You can’t lean on your own understanding, be that it could lead you to lust, fighting, and all types of debauchery, and seeking teachers after your own flesh.

Lastly, let’s read James 4:1-8:

1 “From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? 2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. 4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. 5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? 6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.”

As the true men of Yeshua Jesus, is not to impress, but to educate and bring clarity to your soul, plus your life. In my conclusion, every life on earth has a purpose and a mission.

Thank you.

Can You Keep Your Mind Still Long Enough to Hear Yeshua?

Sometimes when I would go to sit down to study, all of sudden, I would find that my mind had begun to drift into a wondering state of “what if’s”. It would proceed to curious thoughts of scenarios that would take my mind off of the main thing I should be focusing on. During that state of mind, one would lose track of time, causing the work that should have been finished in minutes, to take hours. In some way, this really portrays our state of mind. This is truly indicative of where our walk in Jesus is, with which some have gone astray, and have gone down the broad road, away from their christian life and understanding. The things we used to be fervently against, we now make exceptions for and make that thing inclusive, through a blurred unassociated understanding. In other words, one would try to give a misrepresentation of a meaning or understanding, which means your clear understanding of a thing would become blurred and confused. The Bible says, “As a man thinketh so is he” (Proverbs 23:7). That’s why it is so important that we think clearly with no confusion in our heart and mind.

 In the book of Ecclesiastes 5:2-6  

2 “Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few. 3 For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool’s voice is known by multitude of words. 4 When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed. 5 Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay. 6 Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?”

Let’s also read in the book of Colossians 4:5-6

5 “Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. 6 Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.

Also, in the book of Isaiah 26:3-5 

3 “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. 4 Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength: 5 For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low; he layeth it low, even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust.”

In my conclusion, I will leave you with Psalm 46:10-11 

10 “Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. 11 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.”

Also, Isaiah 45:5-7 

5 “I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: 6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else. 7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.”

Last but not least, turn to Philippians 4:6-9 

6 “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.”

May the peace of God that all passes all understanding be with you all.

And it is so. Thank you.

A Troubled Heart Leads To a Confused Walk

Have your ever been in a place, confused about why you were there or even made a decision about a thing in life and didn’t understand how you came up with that decision? How about even lost the reason why you were headed in one direction then turn around and start going back in the opposite direction? Jeremiah 17:9 says, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?”

The Word refers to the heart, but its actually talking about your mind. That is your existence. Brain cells are not only in the brain, but also in the heart. The brain gives your heart thought and memory on how to pump. What is inside of your heart that you can’t retain, explain, or control what goes on in your life? Why is your heart always causing you problems? Your heart isn’t any bigger than your fist. Do you allow things around you to effect your thoughts? Do you allow people to come into your life to destroy your heart? Do you allow thoughts of someone else’s misery to come in and cause you to be miserable? The heart (the mind) is deceitful. It knows to do good but won’t do it. It knows that a situation is wrong, but it goes along with the situation. A man once said, “A woman said she loved me once, then later said she didn’t.” When there’s a problem of the heart whether via emotions, hurt, sickness or even sin, you lose focus and the ability to make rational decisions or judgments. Your heart, which is your mind thinks about that and this. People have used the heart for generations to express their feelings. They notice that when they begin to fall for someone, their heart beats a little faster, being under the impression that it has an intellect of its own. However the mind tells the heart what to be. That is why people always say, “Do you have the heart for this,” or “Do you have the heart for that,” or “Are you heartfelt for those things?” all while grabbing their heart. Why do they grab their heart? Because they know if the heart stops beating so do you. If the mind dies, then you are dead, even if the heart is still pumping.

The Bible also mentions in Matthew 6:21, “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” You think about this because its in you. You love money, possessions, for people to give you accolades, prestige, finances, lifestyle, big homes and cars. Why? Because that is where your heart is. For those who are the children of God, where does your heart lie? If you are someone who is attached to this world, take an evaluation of where you’re heart is. A lot of things that we care for in our hearts and minds where we conceive these thoughts sometimes open the door to Satan’s realm of sin and confusion, making you despondent, having no focus.

1 Corinthians 14:33, “For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.” So you’re confused. What has troubled your heart that you are confused at this stage in your walk, that you don’t know where your life is going? The Bible clearly state that God is not the problem of confusion nor is he progenitor of a lie. So as we walk our walk, let’s be very careful who we let into our heart or that secret place that we share with our Lord and Savior. That is serious. We talked before about the heart of a married woman to her husband, and the heart of a single woman is the Lord. Each has to be very careful of whom they allow in their presence who would steal her heart away. Why? Its like coming between a married couple. Satan knows that if he can separate you from the source, your walk will be hard and the more stumbling you do, the farther you’ll be from your destination. Its a curious thing to realize who you are and where you are in your life now. If you are in a confused state, look back and see where the confusion has come from. From the love of a thing, something or someone, from a hurtful situation? Emotional attachment have been one of the detriments of a Child of God’s walk in his life. Who are you attaching yourself to and why? When you attach yourself to the wrong things your heart begins to fall for it and you begin to be instructed and guided by that thing. Which is not a good thing for a Child of God. You’ll notice even when you go to school, they’ll tell you in college to maintain your focus on the thing at hand. If you are focused, there is less chance for some other thing to cause confusion to come into your life. Most people allow other things to come in and invade their mind and heart. Everything was going great, everything is good, the Lord is blessing me and all of a sudden he came along and “rocked your world.” You allowed him to come into a calm sea to rough up the water. Now both of you are sitting there in a confused state and don’t know which direction to go in. But you’re trying to walk a walk, which before was progressing so much. You were excited and you wanted things from God and you saw those things happen almost instantly. But under that process, you allowed someone else to come in and trouble your heart. When your heart is troubled it is felt through your whole body. Some of you have been to the point where you were so much in love you couldn’t eat right, talk right or sleep right. That is what a troubled heart goes through when it knows that the attachment is not quite solid. Has anyone broken a cold sweat over the Lord because they couldn’t contact Him? Our hearts and minds need to know one thing: work together. Don’t allow yourself to be over confident in your relationship. Because if there is a door that can be opened through hurt pain or sin, Satan will bring it.


He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.


Psalms 91:1

If you allow yourself to dwell in the secret place with the Lord, your heart will not be broken, no one will steal it or even mess with it, because you’ll be under the shadow of the almighty. He will protect what you are and who you are because you are His. Its when you step out from under the shadow. When its really hot outside and the sun is shining and gleaming down on you, you run under the shade. You’ve never seen anyone run out into the sun when they’re hot. They run to the shade because they want to be under its protection so the sun rays won’t bake them. When you come from underneath the protection of the almighty God, you will be hurt, experience pain and anguish. You will suffer things like you never have before. You will begin to feel that thing affect you more than ever because you are not under the watchful eye of our Cord and Savior. Whatever affects your heart, whether a person, situation or anything along that line, you need to be very careful who comes into your presence and exude control of who and what you are.

1.) Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 6.) Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 11.) Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake. 12.) Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. Are you doing greater works? Are you doing anything. The Bible says we’re known by the fruit we bear. What are you bearing. 13.) And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14.) If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. Why is this so important. If he’s in you and your in him, your heart is in oness and you won’t ask anything unwarrented. So you know its benfitial to you and you’ve already talked it out.


John 14: 1,6, 11, 12-14

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.


Psalms 1:1-3

Are you a tree that’s planted by the rivers of water? Are you planted in the Lord like you should be? If so, how deep are your roots? Are you surface salvation Jesus, or do you rely on hearing a sermon here or there, or are you in your Word doing it as well? He said he meditates on the law day and night? How can you do that? Don’t you need to sleep? There was a science study done sometime back where they found out that if a person plugs their ears and has a book being read to them while they sleep, the comprehension of that person is very high. During the 1980s and 1990s students would do that with professors teachings and they would remember all that was said. Your subconscious is listening to what is going on consciously. You were at rest. There was nothing there to interfere with your heart. You have to be careful because someone could put a demonic device in your ear. Whatever you let into your heart, you have to be very careful. You shouldn’t allow emotions, hurt and sickness or sin to control your heart within.

We Wrestle Not against Flesh and Blood

Ephesians 6:5-8

Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ; Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men: Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.

 

Emphasis on verse 8, Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free. Whether you are a slave or free, your’ll receive the same of the Lord. He is no respect of persons in that respect. A lot of people feel they can’t serve Christ if they are a slave or beholding to someone. But know that under the oppression of whomever or whatever it may be, if you are a true Child of God, you are still to do His will. By doing so, you’ll receive of the Lord, whether you be bonded to someone or free on your own. Doesn’t make a difference.

Ephesians 6:9-11

And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him. Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

 

Can someone say “Whole Armour?” Put on the whole armour of God, not just part of it, all of it. Put on all those things to be fully armored. Because Satan is not coming just to cut off your head, but anything he can get a hold to, whether it be your legs or arms…anyway he can. If he can strike you at your finances, in your body, he will. If he could strike at you by attacking your loved ones, he will. If he could strike at you at your job, he will. Know this, you must be prepared at all times when you go into battle. You have to have on all of your protective gear. In the military, they give you cavalier vests/armored vests, reinforced knee pads, reinforced elbow pads. They give you special helmets before you go into battle. All for the purpose of protecting you against any form of an attack. So as a Child of God, your amour is what it says in Galatians 5.

 

Galatians 5:22-23

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

 

So you have to put on your armor. First of all love. Sometimes its a hard thing to put on love, but put on love so when you come against that foe, they won’t know how to act. People seem to wait for you to be combative, so they can justify their attack on you. They want you to be afraid. Our President John F. Kennedy said this one thing that is very important and I hope that we catch this: “The only thing to fear is fear itself.” Now I hope you got that. The only thing to fear is fear itself. Let me break that down for you. Sometimes people don’t understand what they’re afraid about. They have been indirectly or directly taught to fear this thing, that situation, or this type of problem, not understanding that there was nothing to fear in the first place. In other words, people are being trained to fear and don’t realize it, so when they get older that fear comes out in them. It manifests itself in many different forms and ways, when you least expect it. That is why you have to be prepared to love in spite of. When somebody treats you wrong, you have to love them still. If someone talks about you, you have to love them still. I know its hard, we all have been through, when somebody just hurt you to the very fiber of your being. We want to lash out in revenge, hoping that taking revenge will resolve that issue. But I’m here to tell you revenge doesn’t resolve anything, it just opens another door that Satan can come into to destroy you.

The next armament is joy. I know some will say, how can you feel joy when someone has their foot on your neck? How can you feel joy when they are trying their best to destroy you? How can you feel joy when someone has taken all that you have? How can you feel joy when someone has taken your loved one? Taken your home, taken your livelihood? How can you feel joy? The Bible tells us in the mist of confusion and mess, God will calm that water. In the midst of trouble, He said cast your cares upon Me for I care for you. The joy you have to feel is, trouble don’t last always and neither does pain or hardship. So be confident that God has your back. Its a good thing when God has your back. We think that men have our backs, but we need not trust in men. Put your trust in God. When God has your back, He has your back.

The next thing is peace. What is peace? Freedom from disturbance, quiet and tranquility. When you look at the action of peace, it calms down everything about you and around you; the Word of God says peace be still (Mark 4:39). What comes along with peace is having faith. The only thing that would cause you to get agitated is when you don’t have peace; is when something has disturbed your faith. Does that mean you have no faith in whom you serve; in Christ that He would deliver you? When you’re going through a situation in your life, does that mean you have no faith to deliver you? It brings in fear, not having enough faith; causes you to doubt what you believe.

The next bit of armour is long-suffering. Some of you all can’t hold out for one minute without complaining. You can’t even fast for even 1 hour, notwithstanding one day. You can’t endure anything. Do you have endurance? Can you endure the stress and heartache of going through? Knowing after a while it will all be over? It reminds me of an old song they use to sing: After a while the troubles shall be over, after a while my Savior shall come. The race is not to the swift nor to the strong. The Bible says its to the one that endureth to the end. Long-suffering. Do you have on that armour of long-suffering. Can you stay with it without complaining or whining? Can you endure? That’s a heavy thing.

Another is gentleness. How many of you are gentle? How many of you have that quiet gentle spirit? How many have a gentle nature? Most people have the eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth type of mentality. He hit me, I’ll hit him harder, if he hurts my family, I will hurt his, if he steals from me, I will take from him. We don’t have a gentle spirit. Another thing is goodness. When you say the Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want, He makes me to lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters, He restores my soul. It says toward the latter part of that, yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I shall not fear. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. Did you head goodness mentioned? Goodness has to be a part of a Child of God’s life, without any doubt, it has to be a part. When you think about the goodness of Jesus and all the things He’s done for us, yet we sill complain about the little things. Its a shame that we sit up there and complain about the little things. The Word of God tells us how long halt you between two opinions. If God be God serve Him, if he be mammon, serve him. I think some of us are caught between that making up our mind stage. Faith is the strongest armor because without faith its impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). Faith in what He does, what He says, faith in what He tells us to do and where He tells us to go. The Bible tells us if we have the faith of a grain of a mustard seed, its like a little tiny bead. To say that someone doesn’t even have faith that size its an indictment on them.

Meekness, I think meekness goes right along with gentleness. A quiet, gentle and easily imposed on submissive, yielding, obedient, compliant, humble spirit. Many people in the Church don’t have humble spirits, they aren’t too meek, and quick to jump down your throat. I tell people, you’d better leave people alone, because you’ll make that Peter spirit come out quickly.

Temperance is the last. Temperance is a moderate or voluntary self restraint to refrain from doing. How many people of God have temperance as an amour? How many can say I know where to stop, I know where the line is and I’m not going to cross that line? You’ve got to know when to say no. Then you’ve got to know when to go. Temperance is an important piece of amour on the Child of God on the battlefield of this world, because you will deal with some folks who cause you to loose your temperance. There is a time and season for everything under the sun. You have to know when you should do or not do.

Ephesians 6:12

 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

That is an awesome statement. Reason being is because people think they are fighting against people. Democrats are fighting against Republicans and vice versa. They are fighting against spiritual entities behind the people. Demons and imps sent by Satan to control this world. It says against spiritual wickedness in high places. Did you know one level of demons controls a lower level of demons that controls another level of demons on you? The more successful you are in halting Satan’s growth, the more of a target you are to Satan. Being a Child of God, you are already on the radar if you are true. If you are a Charlatan, they don’t pay attention. They only want those people effective against them to make sure that the effect they have doesn’t cause their power to wane.

The term wrestle against flesh and blood…why do we fight and argue. The Word of God says in James 4:2-3 from whence come wars and fighting among you? Come they not hence even of your lust that war in your members? Ye lust and have not, ye kill and desire to have and cannot obtain. Ye fight and war yet ye have not because ye ask not. Ye ask an receive not because ye ask amiss. In other words your fighting against yourself, against the church because you want what they have. You never asked the Lord if you could have that, if it would edify your soul. We want it because it appeals to our flesh and will do anything to obtain it. You see these different leaders around the country fighting against one another because of jealously. You have these number of members. I want the same number of members, a nice edifice, I, I, I. When did God come in? When did He leave. When it became your ministry, when you conduct service according to your will. That is when the Holy Ghost leaves the place. Then the word Ichabod is written upon that ministry meaning the presence or Spirit of God has left that place. You never want that to be on your ministry, because once the presence of God has left your ministry, it is dead. The whole purpose is to do His will, and when He writes Ichabod on you He will never ever visit again. So you never want to hear Ichabod being pronounced on your location.

James 4:4

Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

 

So, you hear a lot of people say I’m concerned about what will happen to this world, and all the things pertaining to loving this world. If you are in the House of God and love the world more than the Church, you are an enemy, so you might as well either get correction or get out.

James 4:5-6

Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

So can you humble yourself? There are quite a few reasons or excuses people use to justify their general disenchantment and disgust for each other. So I’ve listed some of the more common misunderstood emotions:

 

  1. Hurt-The Lord said cast your cares of Him. When you are hurting, it will cause you to have regret and anguish. That will cause you to mistreat someone, it would even cause you to hurt someone because you are hurt.
  2. Lying-What’s so big about lying? A lie hurts everybody involved. Most people don’t realize, when you tell one, you have to tell another to keep the first from being discovered. Who is the father of a lie? Satan. So you are doing Satan’s will.
  3. Hatred- It has caused people to go war. Families and friends not to speak for years. People to be killed.
  4. Fear- We talked about earlier. When a person is afraid, they will do anything to keep the fear from getting out of control.
  5. Rejection- Rejection has become a big problem in our society today. More youth are committing suicide because they are rejected by their peer group. They want to belong to some group of people that would befriend them and say good things about them. Kids sometimes can be so cruel. You have to feel good and confident about yourself. But those emotions have caused people to be disenchanted with each other.
  6. Anger- People have been so angry that they have hunted others down just to get rid of them. A lot of times people loose focus, and that is what causes people to become disgusted with other people and loose faith and hope in people.
  7. Confused- People in the Church are confused, but they don’t know what part they play. They know they are supposed to do something, because they never took the time to ask God. They want someone to tell them what to do, and when you tell them they get upset. Confusion is running rampant all through the Church. We need to understand that we can’t be confused when doing the work of God. That is one thing you need to take care of. If you don’t what will windup happening is you will lead someone astray, which will bring in contention between individuals. So you must be very careful how you walk in your Christian walk.

 

You can’t allow these 7 things to cause you not to deal with your fellow man correctly. These have caused us to fight against flesh and blood. Attack the spirit, by the Spirit. That Spirit in you should be the Spirit of God. So its very important that you allow the Holy Ghost to lead and guide you to all truth and understanding concerning your walk. Know this there is no man, woman or child or creature made of flesh and blood coming after you. It is spiritual wickedness attacking you. It uses whomever and whatever to attack the Child of God to slip up or fail. So I tell you again how long halt you between two opinions? If you are a Child of God, act like one. You are to be the salt of the earth, so put on that shield, and whole amour of God so that you may be able to stand against the whiles of the Devil. Everything is not going to be to how you like it or want it to be. Remember God is trying to make you. First he needs to break you down, so He can build you up His way.

Know this, Satan will use whomever or bring up situations around your life, he will bring people into your life that mean no good for you or anything you do for the Lord, so as to destroy God’s purpose for you in ministry. So I say again, we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, rulers and darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
