God is Telling You Must Walk Away from These People. Don't Ignore God's Urgent Message for You Today

If God wants to bless you he'll connect you to some specific people these people will serve as the channels for every one of his blessings to reach you might send the right partner or the right neighbor colleague driver or more this is great isn't it but did you know that the enemy also uses this method if he wants to destroy her Just as God sends people into our lives when he wants to bless us the devil also sends people to us these people will be the conduit for bringing damage into our lives this is why

as God is working in your life and bringing the right people in he also sometimes separates you from the wrong people one wrong person in your life can ruin many things for you it doesn't matter your relationship with Him or her for example the Bible tells us that when we Harbor negative feelings of unforgiveness towards others our prayers won't be answered and we stand the risk of having our own sins Unforgiven as well because God wants us to forgive those who hurt us Mark 11 25-26 and whenever you stand praying if you have anything against

anyone forgive him that your father in Heaven may also Forgive you your trespasses but if you do not forgive neither will your father in Heaven forgive your trespasses the devil knows this more than most Christians so what does he do he sends someone into your life who seems to derive pleasure attacking you one way or another his aims to offend you enough to make you develop hatred and unforgiveness in your heart You may practice love as long as you want but things are more difficult because there's someone there whose sole purpose is to not only

hurt your feelings but also get you into that space of unforgiveness for whatever he or she does to you many believers who don't know this fall into the devil's trap they allow that hurt to overwhelm them until they say or do something they knew They're not supposed to say or do and fall into sin sometimes they may not say anything but they nurture desires of unforgiveness Vengeance and hate toward the other party without knowing you see what's happening is bigger than the person Satan just wants you to get into the space where you fall into

error he knows you're always on guard against immorality and it won't be easy to get You into that area so he'll send someone else who uses a different tool to provoke you and to sin against God or stop seeing yourself the way God sees you an example of this is the Bible incident between Abraham and lot was Abraham's nephew his father had died and Abraham had adopted and raised him as his own son as he followed God and because the blessings of God are quite contagious that is you can benefit From it through proximity to

the main person being blessed lot benefited much the Bible records that they both became so wealthy that the entire plane could not contain them in their possessions at that time conflict began to break out between Abraham's herdsmen and lots this must have gone on for some time and Abraham must have noticed that it was causing a friction on their relationship because the Bible says he called lot and suggested that they both part ways so That there wouldn't be Strife between them Genesis 13 8-9 so Abram said to lot let's not have any quarreling between you

and me or between your herders and mine for we are close relatives is not the whole land before you let's park company if you go to the left I'll go to the right if you go to the right I'll go to the left I love the fact that Abraham was more Concerned about how the conflict would affect others than on claiming who was right and who was wrong I believe that Abraham was sensitive in the spirit to see what lot wasn't seeing also I believe that according to God's timing seeing that law had developed an

eye for a life outside what he wanted for Abraham it was time to move him out of Abraham's life I say this because after lot in Abraham parted ways God came and gave Abraham a New set of promises much more than whatever lot was getting on The Greener Side Genesis 13 14-17 the Lord said to Abram after lot had parted from him look around from where you are to the North and South to the east and west all the land that you see I will give to you in your Offspring forever I will make your

Offspring like the dust of the Earth so that if anyone could Count the dust then your Offspring could be counted go walk through the length and breath of the land for I am giving it to you when God tells you to remove someone from your life it's because he wants to do something bigger in your life your attachment with that person or group of people would only stand in the way of what God wants to do in your life you see God can have a purpose for a Person who comes into your life but whether

they serve that purpose or not depends on their cooperation with God this person may have decided to cooperate with the devil than with God when this happens God wants you to walk away from them because they'll only stand in the way of what he wants to do in your life dear child of God you have no business being with a toxic person many things make a person toxic Sometimes without them even knowing they're becoming toxic I trust God that you will identify them as you listen to the next couple of things I'm about to say

they'll make you see yourself less than who God says you are let me continue by saying that you are a child of God and you are very precious in God's eyes no matter who you are a business person student parent spouse sibling Minister professional you name It God loves you passionately and his plans and purposes for you are perfect God didn't call you to be a nobody the Bible says in Isaiah 45 19 I've not spoken in secret from somewhere in a Land of Darkness I've not said to Jacob's descendants seek me in vain I

the Lord speak the truth I declare what is right God doesn't call anyone to seek or serve him in vain or for nothing that's what this verse is saying This means that when you accepted the call to be a child of God you automatically became a member of his family and you stepped into his purpose for your life in the new equation you are a very important part of God's project on the earth because now you've become an extension of God here I'm saying this because relationships are very powerful they can affect who or What

you become I've seen bright and active people become Moody and desolate over a period why they attach themselves to an individual who became a tool in the hand of the devil to drain them of every liveliness confidence and strength they had leaving them a shadow of their former selves this is what a toxic relationship can do in your life if you don't listen to what God's speaking to you today and walk Away from them you must walk away from toxic people if you want to retain your self-image in Christ you are a chosen generation a

royalty God's own special possession don't settle for someone whether as a friend a colleague or a partner who tells you otherwise they refuse to acknowledge they're wrong but turning around on you furthermore a toxic person would never Agree that they're wrong even when their error stares them in the face rather than apologize they find a way of making it look like you're the one at fault and therefore you must apologize instead of them these are the signs you're in a toxic relationship and like I said earlier it may be just a friend or someone more

than that but whatever it is when you see these signs God is opening your eyes to see so You can walk away you need to begin to ask God to help you see them you can't help a person who doesn't want to be helped or who doesn't want to change many young people have become prisoners or even worse because even though they saw these signs they believed they could change the toxic person by staying intimate with them and being on the receiving end of their toxicity But when they realize they'd Gone Too Deep it was

too late to get out if you're in this position today I want you to know that God wants to set you free cry out to him tonight and ask him to help you walk away from the situation you're in sometimes loving someone may mean walking away from them to keep you from falling into the pit of hurt Despair and even depression which may come from Being too close to them that was what Abraham did it wasn't because he was upset with law but because he wanted to protect the relationship in his own conscience from bitterness

and unforgiveness a toxic person puts themselves first even though they're using you another sign of toxicity is that they're abusive abuse does not only refer to using someone in the wrong way It may also mean to treat someone or something with cruelty or violence especially regularly or repeatedly abuse can range from physical to emotional domestic to verbal and many more we must love ourselves enough to make sure we're safe and in God's light but we must never use people as our tools to make ourselves feel good at their expense this can be through manipulation force

or any other form When you're with someone who regularly manipulates you uses you while making it seem like they're the ones doing you a favor you're as much a victim of abuse as that person in the hospital being treated for injuries you need to sit down and ask yourself whom do I need in my life right now you may or may not have a specific picture in mind right away however whomever you allow into your life must be someone who loves you and Helps you see yourself the way God sees you he or she must

demonstrate the character of Christ one of which is humility the ability to acknowledge when you're wrong and take responsibility pride is not a character of Christ but of the devil the right person in your life will never use you at your own detriment rather he or she will team up with you To achieve both your goals in life so that at the end they serve their purpose as God's instrument in your life anyone short of this is not the right individual and are more likely to bring more damage to the way you think feel or

act they will most likely influence you into becoming and manifesting the nature of the devil than the will of God is speaking to someone today it's time to walk away from fearful Relationships it's time to walk away from people who encourage you to walk contrary to God's will it's time to walk away from the liar the cheater the abuser and the manipulator when you receive the courage to walk away and you do you'll notice the changes that will begin to occur in your life this is God's promise to you when you walk away from anything

that's contrary To what he represents second Corinthians 6 16-18 what agreement is there between the temple of God and Idols for we are the Temple of the Living God as God has said I will live with them and walk among them and I will be their God and they will be my people therefore come out from them and be separate says the Lord touch no unclean thing and I will receive you And I will be a father to you and you will be my sons and daughters says the Lord Almighty do you want to live

the life as God designed for you from the beginning then respond to this instruction with obedience and faith in God don't fear what you might lose as a result just like Abraham God has something better waiting for you after you walk away from them I pray that you'll receive the courage to walk away from every toxic person in your life today in Jesus name amen God bless you the word of God is filled with so many significant messages to help us live life with as little losses and defeat as possible such that building our lives

on them is like building on a rock one of such messages is found in Proverbs Chapter 14 verse 12 it says There is a way that appears to be right but in the end it leads to death if you want to live your best life experience everything God wants you to experience or please him then you must learn to follow the pattern he lays down sometimes these patterns will not make sense they may not always appeal to your human intelligence or emotions yet those who walk by it never regret doing so for example when Jesus

was teaching his disciples while he walked on Earth He taught them many things that would help them become better people one of the things he taught them was the cost of discipleship Jesus taught that anyone who made up his or her Minds to follow him must be willing to pay the price that comes with that decision Luke chapter 14 verses 25-30 large crowds were traveling with Jesus and turning to them he said if anyone comes to me and does not hate father and Mother wife and children brothers and sisters yes even their own life such

a person cannot be my disciple and whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple suppose one of you wants to build the Tower won't you first down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it or if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it everyone who sees it will ridicule you saying this person began to build and Wasn't able to finish the decision to be a disciple of Jesus is not a joyride it is Warfare and requires one who has counted the

cost and made up their minds to commit to the end this is the reason most people follow Jesus for a while only to turn back in the face of one crisis or another the way of righteousness is not at the path many people will find to comfortably walk in Most people feel that God's way is not fun the rules involved are too hard to keep and one will never enjoy life's Freedom if they choose God's way they believe that life is meant to be enjoyed therefore serving God Faithfully only leads to a life of bondage

where they won't be free to make their choices party like they want hang out with whomever they want and do all they want to their hearts content Some even say that God knows that men can't walk in his ways because they will always end up failing when they try give examples of people who have tried and failed as an excuse to justify their stance these examples sometimes may even sound convincing even to the best of us who believe at some point we might even consider going that way or try to walk like them to explore

life as well others have even Indulged in similar ungodly practices as they do not know better however God has a message for you today he wants you to become more sensitive and wiser in your choice of the kind of people you allow into your life you see the reason is that God wants you to be different the so-called Promises of Liberty that the world or anyone who is contrary to God may choose to advertise is not worth holding on to they are false Second Peter chapter 2 verses 18 through 19. four thy mouth empty both

full words end by appealing to the lustful desires of the flesh they entice people who are just escaping from those who live in error promise them Freedom well they themselves are slaves of depravity for people are slaves to whatever has mastered them dear believer the fact that God has found us worthy of his love and even God As far as counting us as part of his great family proves that he wants us to be happy and have a good life there are certain people you must watch out for if you must keep standing and if

you really want to win in this life without losing your soul to the devil you must know that your life is to be defined by the kind of people who surround you therefore who should surround you those who had Priceless and long-lasting Values or those who use temporary Pleasures to drain you of the life in virtues hidden in you your Association also affects your life Impressions which influences your life decisions meaning that the kind of people you walk with may affect how you see things and that will go on to affect how you make decisions

every day Man was created for relationships for interaction community and support God did not create man to be isolated or Separate individually we are all different because of this so that we can interact and benefit from our diversities imagine the world today without interaction everybody doing his or her own thing it would not work no one would achieve anything whatever we have learned in order to become what we are today we learn from someone either our parents teachers at school The Neighbor Next Door and so on Cars we are using today even though it began

as the initiative of a single individual it needed the United contribution of different minds and different hands to achieve Community is that powerful my friend and what does the Bible say about the difference between the community of the wise and that of the foolish Proverbs Chapter 13 Verse 20 says walk with the wise and become wise for a companion of fools suffers harm It will be quite hard and frustrating achieving making effort to become who God wants you to be when you surround yourself with the wrong crowd however when you walk with those who are

in God's plans for you you will not only find motivation to be at your best you will also find the comfort that heals your wounds God does not want you walking alone this is why he gave us the Holy Spirit to walk with us however he also brings the right kind of People our way to join us in Walking the path to the destiny he has designed for us trusting God to help us identify this group of people in our lives will help us rid ourselves of the wrong ones accurately let me talk about two

categories of people you cannot walk with first on this list you have those who tell you that you are better off without doing something else Than being Godly or christ-like listen I know that life can be quite difficult sometimes challenges can greet you on all sides even when it seems you are making every effort to keep God's instructions however there's no name acquisition no achievement nothing exists in this world or in the world to come that can give you the kind of love joy and satisfaction that Jesus offers Matthew chapter 11 verses 28-30 says Come

to me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest take my yoke upon you and learn from me for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls for my yoke is easy and my burden is light God's plans for you are good and peaceful plans don't ever forget that whatever you may be experiencing in your walk with him right now does not determine his love for you rather his intentions and workings for you are Perfect in spite of them do not ever think that

your lot in God is nothing but pain and unhappiness so because you can't walk with just about anyone you encounter God wants you to be able to identify the them by their traits and this is one of the things you should look out for God is telling you not to walk with the person who tells you not to bother praying when you know you need to the person who tells you to go see a movie hang out together or take A walk when you should be studying your Bible or meeting with other Saints for Fellowship

they may not necessarily tell you to go sin but also they do not encourage you to find yourself in God be why you must make deeper connections with people who live as if their entire existence depends on God and without him they are done for they will challenge you with their Zeal they will not be afraid to tell you the truth as they Inquire about your progresses and setbacks in your journey with God don't miss any chance to connect with people like this no matter how they look or where they come from next on the

list are those who encourage us in unrighteousness the Bible tells us to flee from all forms of unrighteousness or ungodliness we must flee from all forms because they will never profit us or add anything good to our lives Psalms chapter 1 says blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that Sinners take or sit in the company of mockers but whose Delight is in the law of the Lord and who meditates on his law day and night that person is like a tree planted by streams

of water which yields its fruit in season and whose Leaf does not wither whatever they do prospers not so the wicked they're like chaff that the wind blows away therefore the Wicked will not stand in the Judgment nor sinners in the Assembly of the righteous for the Lord Watches Over The Way of the righteous but the Way of the Wicked leads to destruction here God tells us there is a blessing on the man who chooses to avoid the ungodly councils or suggestions those ones are different from the first category because they aren't neutral about their

convictions they tell you to your face That it's better for you in sin than in truth so they may encourage you to lie to steal to cheat to watch or use a destructive material and lots more what they do not know however is that we are slaves to whatever we give our allegiances to Romans chapter 6 verse 16 says don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves you are slaves of the one you obey whether you are slaves to sin which Leads to death or to obedience which leads to righteousness

this person's life will remain under the schemes of the devil until it is totally destroyed true Freedom comes when we are rid of every unrighteousness and ungodliness either in association or an attribute dearly beloved you must allow God's righteousness to clothe you like a garment and shield you from the pollutions of this world let Righteousness rule in your heart but to become the anchor the standard of your thoughts choices and actions do not let anything make you put God second in your life no matter what it is not your job or a career ambition not

school academics social events romance Adventures family or even political or financial influences too no pleasure today can measure up to the regret of losing it forever in eternity however God's love and light will fill Your heart and illuminate your path when he lives in you and leads the way of your destiny there's always perfect peace in the heart of those who place their lives in God's hands and when they connect with people of the same convictions with God they form a beautiful constellation that shines into the world to bless it bless it thank you [Music]

As you make your journey through life you'll come face to face with certain realities meant to teach you the ways and standards of God as well as the treachery of self or carnal indulgences which go against the standards of God our carnal indulgences are mostly sensual and contrary to the will and standards of God they satisfy our flesh and Minds but polluted such that it displeases God and destroys us These indulgences displease God because over time they become habits that bind us and a lifestyle that destroys us bit by bit the thing about habits especially

ungodly ones is that they enslave you plunging you into a world of complete darkness where you struggle to break free fight guilt and depressions and are stagnated for a long time although habits are not impossible to break they can seem so for the one Enslaved by him yet it's God's desire for his children to be free from weights and bondages and to enter into the freedom of his will through obedience to his precepts for example the Bible says in First John 3 8 the one who does what is sinful is of the devil because the

devil has been sinning from the beginning the reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work sinful Lifestyles and habits that Enslave God's children are the works of the devil and Christ came to destroy them he came to nullify them in your life believe me when I tell you that no one appreciates freedom from sin and an individual who was once Bound by it but is now set free this reminds me of a parable Jesus once shared on the subject in Luke 7 41-47 [Music] two people owed money to a certain money

Lender one out in 500 Denari the other 50. neither of them had the money to pay him back so he forgave the debts of both now which of them will love him more Simon replied I suppose the one who had a bigger debt forgiven you have judged correctly Jesus said then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon do you see this woman I came into your house you did not give me any water for my feet but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her Hair you did not give

me a kiss but this woman from the time I entered has not stopped kissing my feet you did not put oil on my head but she has poured perfume on my feet therefore I tell you her many sins have been forgiven as her great love has shown but whoever has been forgiven little loves little so you can imagine how much one would advocate for freedom from things that Can enslave others when he or she has once been there they empathize and understand with you but they're not afraid to tell you what being enslaved by negative

habits will cost you both in life and with God I can say this because I was once there too when we live lifestyle or habits that do not glorify God whether or not we enjoy it is not the main trouble the problem is what it does to us spiritually first off Every Act is Disobedience to God whether consciously done or not every act leads us further away from God and disconnects us from intimate fellowship with him thus exposing us to the Destroyer because now we're like sheep who've wandered from the herd and can be attacked

by Wolves any moment you see to break free from these things I personally sought God for help in looking at myself through my subconscious mind in the very act I knew I needed help and had to break free from them dear Saint I believe that whether you're struggling with one sinful habit or a disobedient lifestyle that transgresses God's will for you God is sending you this message is both a warning and a rescue mission to stop and move out of it he still gives Fresh Starts he still heals he still revives he still restores when

we turn to him he will make the difference in our lives Second chronicles 7 14. If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their Wicked Ways then I will hear from heaven and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land the desire and intention to please God will enable you to watch out and deal with anything that makes you go contrary to God's will for your life no matter how many people are doing it Your watchfulness therefore becomes your advantage you

can't afford to go through life living the script that Community or people have written for you everyone is free to make his or her decision on how to live his or her life in every aspect academic physical Financial spiritual Etc whether they're Christians or not however as free as everyone is to make their choices they're also responsible for the consequences of those things They choose to do as a Christian who wants to make an impact in the lives of others as well as please God we have to avoid and completely let go of certain destructive

habits and distractions to ensure that we're always in line with God's precept and purpose regardless of the world we find ourselves Romans 6 11-13 in the same way count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from Death to life and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of

righteousness just as the scripture says we can't afford to live just the way we want we were bought with a price even though we Have the power to make our own decisions and choices we're also accountable to God who saved us through the sacrifice of his son Jesus Christ in our lives in eternity will be greatly influenced by the choices we make here of righteousness unto eternal life or of unrighteousness Unto Eternal death and Hell with this in mind we understand the need to do away with distractions and habits that will destroy our connection to

live A life well pleasing unto God or to live up to God's standards note that distractions are not merely out to take your mind off one thing or another alone they desire to disconnect you from God and stop you from fulfilling Your Divine Purpose on Earth Satan knows something about the glory of God over our lives and to stop us from shining in God's light he brings distractions to sway us from looking at God's Divine blueprint for our lives or Living by it the purpose of the enemy is to see us down wallowing in the

dirt where God wants us to shine we must do our due diligence in enabling the light of God to shine through Us by turning down the loud activities of the world through constant dealing with God and his word the Bible says in John 10 10. the thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy I have come so that they may have life And have it to the full this is God's thoughts towards us as we humbly and completely submit ourselves to his patterns and learn to silence the voice fighting against him in our lives

learn to always get away from anything or any person whenever you notice any disturbance in your spirit and opt out of anything that appears to be sin or evil first Thessalonians 5 22 reject every kind of evil Learn to always listen to God meditate on his word pray constantly to always be in tune with his will for us permit me to mention three major things in our lives today that God is saying stop doing so that you can please him more one lust what most people don't know about lust is that it's more than sexual

immorality and secular sins in general lust takes a pure desire in your heart Corrupts it through the Flesh and produces something contrary to the purpose of God for you for instance do you know that selfishness and greed relatively have their roots in lust do you know that Wars and divisions begin from the corrupted desires we Harbor inside us when people are willing to do whatever it takes to have something even if it means compromising honest standards hurting others or losing themselves in The process you know lust is driving them when desire goes out of control

or operates outside God's timing then lust is set in God is telling you to break free from lust today whether it's lust for money for pleasure for power or anything it's against God and everything he stands for many have lost family friends and even their ultimate relationship with God due to this destructive force birthing dark Habits in them it may feel great at some point but it'll drag you down to a pit you don't want to go desire itself is not a bad thing however when we allow desires to drive us against the order of

God for our lives we're submitting ourselves to the Council of the enemy James 1 14-15 but each person is tempted when they are dragged Away by their own evil desire And enticed then after desire is conceived it gives birth to sin and sin when it is full grown gives birth to death lust is a Temptation and an evil that overcomes many of us it's born of Satan in the flesh every single one of us is subject to lust but we must rise above it and if we're to overcome it we must be strong the Lord

is saying stop doing this don't hide away come to God seek his mercy and Forgiveness ask him to help you keep yourself pure and strengthen you to take your stand and resisting the temptation to give in to the lusts of your flesh two the habit of procrastination procrastination is the habit of delaying an important task usually by focusing on less urgent more enjoyable and easier activities instead many children of God fall prey to this destructive habit they never do anything Important at the right time their answer to everything is later if you were to succeed

in life and be a fruitful branch in Christ you must stop procrastinating you have to kill the Habit at the root or else it'll keep you from fruitfulness and stability in God thereby displacing you a procrastinator wastes resources and is unfruitful and God hates wastes and unfruitfulness You can't blame an event or circumstance for your lack of discipline to get done what you set out to do you are responsible for your life and for whatever you do with it to stop such a habit requires Great discipline knowing what you want and what you ought to

be doing per time there is Need for us to focus and do what ought to be done right now no matter what we may think or have in mind seek fruitfulness and you will break Free from procrastination you only have today not tomorrow three the habit of men pleasing have you ever noticed that you always want to hear someone commend your good works in every situation many of us have built our lives on the Commendation of others there's nothing wrong with commendations in fact God commends people for good works and rewards them however when your

service to God or Others is born from a deep need to feel important or be seen and appreciated then it isn't coming from your heart see this habit puts your eyes off the effect of the task assigned to you or those you work with in the spirit of unity and puts it on yourself it's more about you and less about the work or others it's a form of idolatry because it takes God out of the picture and puts self and man there instead So if you don't want to labor only to be rejected at the

last minute before God then live life with your ultimate gaze and motivation on God and not on any man or woman this habit makes you feel like you've done nothing when no one commends your work serving God and working for people with the sole aim of being recognized is a sign of hypocrisy watch yourself carefully do your duties well with or Without any accommodations some other habits you must examine and deal with in your life are habits of discouragement uncontrolled anger cheating laziness dishonesty the benefit of self-examination is that it regularly puts you through complete

overhaul cleansing you through and through so that you can come out pure and pleasing before God First John 3 2-3 dear friends now we are children of God And what we will be has not yet been made known but we know that when Christ appears we shall be like him for we shall see him as he is all who have this hope in him purify themselves just as he is pure [Music] foreign [Music] who are you Who sent you who are you becoming who were you made to be who were you created to become who

were you made to like a man or a woman who cannot answer these questions genuinely and truthfully holding these precious Revelations deep at heart will be washed off into the world and lose their footing eventually there is no standing future for those whose feet are not deeply rooted in the Sure Cornerstone of Jesus until God's children fully comprehend their place in the world their purpose and their Ally in this journey they will continue to waste away while barely existing there is no future for those who are not Resolute in their beliefs there remains no hope

for those who are not yet resolved on the truth of their standing their fate is to fall not because they Were born to fall into destruction but because they chose this path out of ignorance when you can settle this that is the first step into the Glorious future God has spoken of in his word to you the second sure step is to desperately hold on to this truth making sure to cling to it for dear life Jesus told a great Parable to this effect of the tale of sowing seeds on all kinds of soil and

the results Matthew 13 3-9 and 18-23 says and he spake many things unto them in Parables saying behold A sower went forth to sow and when he sowed some seeds fell by the wayside and the fowls came and devoured them up some seed fell upon Stony places where they had not much Earth and fourth width they sprung up because they had no deepness in the Earth and when the sun was up they were scorched and because they had no root they withered away And some fell among thorns and the Thorns sprung up and choked them

but other fell into good ground and brought forth fruit some a hundredfold some 60-fold some 30-fold he who hath ears to hear Let Him hear ye therefore the parable of the sower when anyone here at the word of the kingdom and understandeth it not then cometh the wicked one and catch the way that which was sown in his heart this is he which received the seed by the Wayside but he that receiveth the seed into Stony places the same is he that heareth the word and Anon with joy receiveth it yet have he not rooted

himself but doereth for a while for when tribulation and persecution ariseth because of the word by and by He Is offended he also that receiveth the seed among the Thorns is he that heareth the word and the care of this world and the Deceitfulness of riches choked the word and he becometh unfruitful but he that receiveth the word into the good ground is he that heareth the word and understandeth it which also beareth fruit and bringeth forth summon hundredfold some 60 some 30. the Bible is clear on this if you do not desperately hold on

to the truth you have received from God about your life about where he had planned for you about his glorious future with you about your Identity in Christ and about the wicked one who seeks to deceive you and cut you off you will perish you will be robbed if you choose to remain ignorant that we have an adversary a very real threat dwells in darkness aiming to Rob us off our feet of the truth that is necessary to bring us into the fullness of our inheritance in God first Peter 5 8-9 says be sober be

vigilant because your adversary the devil as a roaring lion walketh about Seeking whom he may devour whom resists steadfast in the faith knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world know this deeply in your heart and remain on guard dear child of God stay vigilant alert and awake lest you be swept off your feet and lose faith in God has brought you to the sure path of the just and of righteousness and purity He had established you in the truth of his word and cleansed you with the Precious

Blood of his son Jesus Christ he is also committed to your hands the great and precious Promises of your inheritance in Christ all of this is yours and yours alone they are completely yours God has you in the right spot for your life stand surely in this truth refuse to let them go to ignorance and Negligence in the study in search of God's word the truth you are unaware of is completely useless to you the truth you are unaware of does not exist and cannot serve you or be enforced it is the exact same thing

as being robbed continually but having no clue that you are missing out on anything or that anything is missing at all the enemy the devil our adversary as Sons of God is a robber and Thief His goal is simple to kill steal from us and Destroy what God has legally and rightfully given us to take over enjoy and use as we see fit many Christians are being besieged on every side and robbed daily and are not aware of it at all they do not know and are doomed to be skinned without even knowing plagued on

every side beset with atrocities at every corner Nothing seems to be working well for them nothing seems to be going right for them sadly they have adapted to managing the pain and suffering of constant loss by persevering they think they are being tried by God but that is not true they do not know that they are being taken advantage of heavily the devil loves to exploit ignorance to the highest possible level he loves to exploit the vulnerable place Of ignorance in the children of God do not be ignorant of your inheritance in Christ go desperately

to the word of God and let it stand firm God through Jesus spoke of the sure Foundation that cannot be moved you have to hear of this parable of Jesus Luke 6 47-49 whosoever cometh to me and heareth my sayings and doeth them I will shoe you to whom he is like he is like a man Which built in house and digged deep and laid the foundation on a rock and when the flood arose the stream beat vehemently upon that house and could not shake it for it was founded upon a rock but he the

heareth and does not is Like a Man Without a foundation built on the house upon the Earth against which the stream did beat vehemently and immediately it fell and the ruin of that house was great this brings us to the third point you Must remember in order to stand firm now that God has you exactly where he wants you the only way to stay in him and not be washed away is through this do what you find in God's word obey there is no future for the disobedient the word you hear is not what works

for you what works for you is the word you pick up obey by putting it into action and do so consistently Many children of God only go as far as listening to God's word through anointed men of God or through study of the word of God the Bible they never get round to actually doing what they discovered in God's word they have not planned to put into practice what God has clearly identified for them to do our whole walk with God is a reality of responsibilities God has his own responsibility and so do we To

place all the responsibility on God to actualize the word in your life is a full display of foolishness and ignorance are you lacking in an area of your life look for the word of God concerning that famished spot in your life and immediately implement it don't just stop there keep at it all Giants in the kingdom of God are people who did what they had to do in God's word concerning the change they Desired in their lives and employed themselves to fully exercise their responsibility consistently no matter what Heaven does not give cheap testimony I'll

have you know that God's word is true and he is fully committed to doing everything he has promised to do for as long as we do our part no he is never to blame for any inconsistency in the realities of his promises for our lives showing up in our Lives he has already done his part and completely too it is left for you to fulfill your own side of the obligation and see the reality of the promises of God in his word come to pass in your life yes you stand right now in the fullness

of where God has for you that's true but the day you stop doing what brought you here you start to crash it may happen slowly enough that you Don't notice but you will fall God's word is infallible he cannot lie have you come up to some level of prosperity health or grace through God and you feel you have arrived don't be deceived by the enemy watch it lest you crash keep standing firm dear child of God Jesus was right in the boat with the disciples when that storm struck and threatened to sink the ship Luke

8 22-24 KJV says Now it came to pass on a certain day that he went into a ship with his disciples and he said unto them let us go over unto the other side of the lake and they launched fourth but as they sailed he fell asleep and there came down a storm of wind on the lake and they were filled with water and were in jeopardy and they came to him and awoke him saying master master we perish then he arose and rebuked the wind and The Raging of the water and they ceased and

there was a calm the presence of the storm does not reduce God one bit no you have to absolutely trust God that no matter how fiercely the storm blows he is here and hence you cannot be submerged by the forces of Darkness stand tall and strong for God has you covered many may fall around you and beside you and you may hear Tales of many who have Fallen all around you tales that threaten to attack your faith and trust in God but if you will cling to God in faith in his word to you you

will not be raided you will be the exception God's word is clear a thousand may fall to your left and ten thousand to your right hand side but it shall not come near you you are the exception foreign One of the greatest benefits of being a child of God is that you not only get to talk to God whenever you want he also gets to talk to you whenever he wants every person who has placed their faith in Jesus and received him into their lives has the ability to hear God speak to them Jesus in

talking about a sheep that is people who have surrendered themselves to follow him said that they hear his voice when he speaks and they follow him John chapter 10 verse 27 says my sheep listen to my voice I know them and they follow me when you become a child of God you gave God the authority to direct the course of your life when you decided to call Jesus your lord and savior you became a member of God's Heavenly family and therefore received his life into you one interesting character of this God life is your ability

to relate with God that is to talk to and hear him talk to you too although Jesus said this is how It should be not many children of God here when he speaks to them and not many know how to tell when he is speaking and when what they are hearing isn't from the Lord you see the voice of God is his way of communicating his will and plans to his children it can come through different methods but it is still God speaking to you for example at one time he spoke to Moses through a

burning bush at another Time he spoke to Elijah in a small still voice one time he spoke to Jesus Through what sounded like a Thunderclap now whether it is coming in the form of a Thunderclap for all to hear or as it almost silent whisper to your soul God still speaks to his children in fact he could be using this man the psalmist talked about the voice of God in Psalms chapter 29 Verses 4 through 9. the voice of the Lord is powerful the voice of the Lord is Majestic the voice of the Lord breaks

the Cedars the Lord breaks in pieces The Cedars of Lebanon he makes Lebanon leap like a calf Syrian like a young wild ox the voice of the Lord strikes with flashes of lightning the voice of the Lord shakes the desert the Lord shakes the desert of Kadesh the voice of the Lord twists The Oaks and strips the forest bare and in his Temple all cry Glory beloved it is such a blessing to be able To hear God speak to you I want you to note that God does not only speak when he needs you to

do something no if you want to know how God's voice works you can simply look at how Jesus Christ spoke while he was on Earth for example G -spoke instructions and told people what they needed to do at a given time especially his disciples this is instruction he could tell them to go here and there wait at one place or Another take this or reject that and so on but that was not the only thing said to others some other times he spoke to teach his disciples expounding scriptures to them in clearer and easier terms

than what he shared with the public at one time he spoke to warn them at another he spoke to correct them so they could be better people and then at another time he spoke to encourage comfort and strengthen them the Bible tells us about each of these Instances and because Jesus is the express image of God we can see the different ways God speaks to us by how Jesus spoke to his disciples one of the dangers which many of us Christians are faced with is the danger of not knowing how to hear God or how

to identify God's voice when he is speaking to you as a result many Believers are faced with the problem of confusion fear fear and even disaster you see when you consistently hear God Over everything in your life you may face challenges of life but you will never lose no matter what life throws at you you will always know what to do you will always know what to say you will always know where to go whom to meet and how to handle every issue that comes your way I remember reading the story of a man who

never lost a dollar in business even though he was alive during the Great Depression Somehow he had learned how to wait until God spoke before making any investment or other business decision and his testimony was this he never lost a dime that may break your philosophy but it is very possible why because the Bible says so Isaiah chapter 48 verse 17 says this is what the Lord says your Redeemer the Holy One of Israel I am the Lord your God who teaches you what is best for you who directs you in the way you should

go And then somewhere else it says in Isaiah chapter 30 verse 21 whether you turn to the right or to the left your ears will hear a voice behind you saying this is the way walk in it these are just two of the numerous citations all over the Bible that proves the great benefit of hearing God speak and understanding to obey when it comes please understand that just like God the devil also speaks this is why we are making this video to help you know how To differentiate between the voice of God and of the

enemy so how do you know if what you are hearing is God speaking to you the devil first when God speaks to you what you hear will always agree with what is written already in the Bible dear Saint God will never contradict his word for anyone not today and not tomorrow said that heaven and earth may pass away But his words the words that we have in the Bible will never pass away today many of us do not give so much value to spending time with the Bible and so we are easily deceived by anyone

who claims to be a follower of Jesus Christ many false teachers have entered into the church and led many gullible Christians away from God this way however the first most valuable way to know that God is speaking to you is that what you are hearing aligns with what he Already said in Scripture anything otherwise is not God but the devil speaking to you God will never ask you to steal cheat or go about hurting people why because the Bible already stated God's view on these things already this is why you have to be a student

of the Bible the more of the word of God you have inside your heart the easier it will be for God to speak to you and the easier it will be for you to know when he is speaking to you Secondly when God speaks to you you will know it's God because his holy spirit lives inside you the Bible tells us that the only one who can tell us what a person is thinking in their heart is the spirits of that person therefore the only one who can tell you what God is saying or whether

what you hear is from God is his Spirit within you First Corinthians chapter 2 verses 11 through 12 for who knows a person's Thoughts except their own Spirit within them in the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the spirit of God what we have received is not the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God so that we may understand what God has freely given us so if the spirit can tell you the thoughts of God he will definitely tell you the voice of God don't you think so

too if the Holy Spirit cannot connect with What you have heard just like what is written in the Bible then you are hearing the devil how do you know whether the holy spirit is connecting or not connecting with what you are hearing this brings me to the next one you become Restless thirdly when you hear something and it causes unrest in your spirit or heart it is not God speaking to you said in John chapter 16 verse 33 I have told you these things so that in me you May have peace in this world you

will have trouble but take art I have overcome the world you see when God speaks even if he is correcting you instructing you to take a daring step or any other thing you will sense peace within your heart besides knowing by the holy spirit that this is God speaking to you there will be no panicking or anxiety along with it why because it carries with it the power to calm your fears and heal those who hear In John chapter 5 verse 25 Jesus said very truly I tell you a time is coming and has now

come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who here will live God has already told us that he is not the author of confusion and that his words are spirit and Life to those who hear them you must do everything you can to make sure you don't miss God's voice when he speaks to you dear believer it will save You a lot of time energy labor and trouble even if what he is saying is a challenging thing to do if you truly listen you will receive strength to do

it why because the word of God is the Prophet Daniel once encountered the angel of God while he was so weak to stand the Bible records that the word entered into Daniel and gave him strength to stand my friend this is how powerful God's word is when he speaks now what do you do to hear God's voice Here are four things to do to put you in a safer position to hear God's voice whenever he speaks first before I share the four I want to believe that the first criteria for hearing God direct the course

of your life consistently is to become a part of his flock through faith in Jesus only Born Again children of God can have if you haven't received Jesus feel free to ask him to come into your life right now and he will gladly come in and give You a new life once you surrender to him one of the easiest ways to hear God speak to you correctly as a Believer is by prayer not just talking to God alone but also learning to sit quietly and listen for him to speak one of the easiest ways to

do this is to cultivate a daily lifestyle of praying in tongues When you pray in the spirit the Bible says that you edify or build up your spirit man when your spirit is built up you can easily pick things up in the Spirit realm including when God is saying something to you or someone else secondly regular fasting is a good way to open yourself up to hear from God you see we live in a very noisy world today fasting is a great way to silence all the noise especially the ones from your flesh trying to

distract you from the things of God when you fast your body may be weakened but your spirit becomes more sensitive fasting is a spiritual exercise that builds you up to tap into The deeper things of God third live a holy life and be obedient the Bible is God's written word to us it is not a history book and should not be treated as such as such rather it should be considered as a life book meant to instruct comfort and direct those who belong to God choosing to live a life different from how the Bible says

to live is Disobedience and a disobedient person has no part in God Holiness in itself is complete obedience to God's word perfection rather it is making the decision to always keep your eyes on God regardless of the errors around you and if you fall short Holiness means that you recognize that you made a mistake and then you turn back to God for forgiveness and move on from that error God does not keep malice with the believer neither does he Delight in seeing his children Fall out of the faith however sin keeps us further and further

away from God until we can't find our way back no wonder the Bible warns us to stay away from a life of sin and disobedience sin will quench your spiritual sensitivity and heighten your carnal senses so when God speaks you will not hear because other Spirits are screaming all over the place and the more you obey them the more power you give them over your life Lastly to hear God make sure to saturate your mind with the word of God as much as possible stay close to the word of God whatever you listen to or

watch is a meal Into Your Soul and Spirit the more worldly and ungodly content you consume the more doubts your spirit man will be and the stronger your flesh and without a sensitive Spirit you cannot hear God or know when he is speaking either so to solve this make sure your spirit is always being fed with the word read the Bible and other Christian spiritual books listen to sermons or teachings from bible-based and bible-believing preachers listen to music that talks about Jesus the faith righteousness and living for God not songs that glorify sin or the

devil the more you do this you saturate your spirit and mind with the things of the kingdom of God so much that it will become easy to identify God's voice from the Devils when he speaks to you I pray that you will grow And God's grace being able to know when he is speaking and responding in obedience in Jesus name amen [Music] foreign
