We Need to Get it Right

If we do not get it right, we might not reach anywhere. For except the Lord builds the house, he that labours, labours in vain…. How we were brought up, how we were socialized or even our world view can rob us of the independence or openness needed to serve God properly.

Say for instance if we grow up with persons who lie constantly in jest or lie to get themselves out of situations, then we become more accommodating to lies and we might even see it as a navigational tool. In a case like this a lying spirit would have little difficulty using such a person on it’s behalf.

If we have issues of sex, where maybe because of abuse we become addicted to sex as I was in my younger days, then we must confront these situations in our lives and break it with the help of God! You see sexual demons, and especially those of sodomy are extremely hard to get rid of because they bring pleasures to the flesh and the flesh loves pleasure.

God sees all the wrong things in our foundations and tries to remove them but many times we refuse to even allow Him. There is a limit to which we can say “God will understand” because if He is angered sufficiently, He will destroy everything, even di puss an di dawg (the cat and the dog).

If we repent and change our ways, then God will repent also of the things He was about to do. Check out the Jonah story, even the animals were made to fast!

For the most part, we all know what it is we are doing wrong and for the things that we are not seeing now, let us look and listen a bit more intensely.

Father we pray that the hearts will not be hardened, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
