WHAT ARE WE LIVING WITH...

SPIRITUAL DOMESTIC VIOLENCE...ARE YOU A VICTIM...?

WOW...A friend just said this:

All the self-help, prosperity messages, how-to-kits that headline our pulpits messages and Christian Broadcast stations today...still TRAGICALLY amounts to this...

IF 'we' are not DELIVERED and SET-FREE from our 'strongman'...

WE are JUS' being instructed HOW TO BETTER:

•CO-HABITATE

•LIVE WITH

SLEEP WITH and STAY IN A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SITUATION!!!

____________

AS the 'strongman' is that ABUSER once given the keys to our dwelling place...at the first hint of disobedience...will smack us down in stages...first a push, then a slap, then a fist...then a kick...then brokenness...then death..."

THE CYCLE is just as vicious!

AS the 'strongman' will 'lust' us back into agreement with 'it' with a kiss and the whispered sentiment that it's better to deal with 'it', in hiding and lies about spiritual black eyes(defilement) when we 've had ENOUGH and are ready to ESCAPE IT...Because of a twisted addiction, familiarity WITH THAT THING...and the spirit of rejection always bring with 'it' a PREGNANCY filled with other genetically related issues such as isolation, loneliness, anger, hate, bitterness and jealousy!

THIS is not just gender specific.

As many A BROTHA who thinks they're standing in the strength of masculinity (physically)... 

Are literally 'feminine' in the spirit realm as they are both in covenant, i.e married to AND dominated by addictions, predilections and secret hidden motivations called 'iniquity' that has dominion over our hearts, minds, wills and the territory given them to subdue and tend. 

We all know the list of people, places and things our fellow brothers, husbands and friends have left swingin' in the wind because they were dominated by a strong(er) man...spiritually and/or physically!!!

APOSTLES, PROPHETS, PRELATE, BISHOPS, POTENTATES and the list goes on...that two-edged sword of the SPIRIT goes deep starting with the proverbial 'you' and  'me'!

REPENTANCE IS THE ONLY SELF-HELP TOOL AVAILABLE TO BRING ANY AND ALL OF US BACK INTO RIGHT STANDING WITH THE KING OF KINGS!!!

NO LONG DRAWN OUT FORMULA...TRUE REPENTANCE...NOT DEEP NOR EXCEPTIONALLY REVELATORY BUT IT SEEMS IN TODAY'S WORLD WHERE 'GRACE ABOUNDS' WE HAVE LOST TOUCH WITH THIS SIMPLE AND BASIC PRECEPT OF SALVATION...TRUE, HUMBLING, TEAR FILLED, HEART WRENCHING, BOWED DOWN REPENTANCE 

LET'S GET BACK TO WHERE WE STARTED...THE SIMPLE GOSPEL PREACHED!  WITHOUT REPENTANCE AND DELIVERANCE FIRST WE ARE PREACHING ANOTHER GOSPEL AND ANOTHER JESUS AND THAT IS A SURE FORMULA FOR ETERNAL CO-HABITATION WITH WHAT IS CURRENTLY ILLEGALLY 'SQUATTING' IN OUR TEMPLES...DEMONS AND EVIL SPIRITS!!!

Yes and AMEN.
