EVICTION NOTICE SERVED!!!



Genesis 1:26 (AMP)
"God said, Let Us [Father, Son, and Holy Spirit] make mankind in Our image, after Our likeness, and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the [tame] beasts, and over all of the earth, and over everything that creeps upon the earth."

John 10:10 (AMP)
"The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and ENJOY life, and have it in ABUNDANCE (to the full, till it overflows)"

2 Corinthians 10:3-6 (MSG)
"The world is unprincipled. It’s dog-eat-dog out there! The world doesn’t fight fair. But we don’t live or fight our battles that way—never have and never will. The tools of our trade aren’t for marketing or manipulation, but they are for demolishing that entire massively corrupt culture. We use our POWERFUL God-tools for smashing warped philosophies, tearing down barriers erected against the TRUTH OF GOD, fitting every loose thought and emotion and impulse into the structure of LIFE shaped by Christ. Our tools are ready at hand for clearing the ground of every obstruction and building lives of obedience into maturity."

I don't know about you but I'm SICK and TIRED of the enemy reigning in so many areas of this earth and in our lives...even though God has GIVEN CHRISTIANS (Christ's Disciples/Followers of Christ) ALL AUTHORITY, POWER, and DOMINION over his wiles, devices and schemes. (Genesis 1:26) But, how many of us are POWERED up in the SPIRIT to do any REAL damage?

A lot of us, as Christians, spend more time, OPENING the door to the enemy like he is a TRUSTED FRIEND than we do OPENING the DOOR to God.  It always amazes me, how the enemy tends to get INVITED to dinner while God is usually WAITING outside the door even though He’s been KNOCKING and ASKING to be INVITED a lot longer. We already KNOW FULL well, the enemy is NOT an EASY guest to get rid of once you ALLOW him in, but we CONTINUE to LET him in willingly. We must remember he's KNOWN for...STEALING belongings...KILLING any sprouts of FAITH with fear...and DESTROYING anything in which he gains access.

So ask yourself...Have you OPENED the door to any of his fake friends that initially LOOKED/SEEMED like a JOY and a BLESSING, but now is more like a leech that is DRAINING the LIFE out of you???

Let’s LOOK at some of his subtle DISGUISES...

- those LOVE SONGS that keep you REMINISCING about that old fling that you know is NO LONGER the Will of God for you...but you KEEP ENTERTAINING the old thoughts as you listen to that type of music and then wonder why you can't seem to MOVE on from the loss.

- that food/drink that you KNOW is causing a SLOW DEATH to your HEALTH, HOME, FINANCES, and YOUR RELATIONSHIP TO GOD every time you decide to GIVE in to those FLESHLY cravings. You've decided, with every LUSTFUL digestion, that you LOVE the IMMEDIATE & TEMPORARY FEELING of it MORE than the LIFE GIVING, LONG-TERM RESULTS it will bring, if you STARVE it out.

 - that friend/family member that is keeping you from a CLOSER RELATIONSHIP  with God because you have allowed them to have MORE CONTROL over you and your time than you have ALLOWED God to have.

- that negative conversation that gets stirred up every time you see or hear of that person you can’t seem to forgive even though you know God says you must. Every time you open your mouth to speak about that person, every bit of venom and bitterness is spewing out of your mouth into your ears and giving energy to that unforgiving spirit over and over again. Instead you should pray a WORD of FAITH for them and over you that will help REPLACE your thinking and feelings with each GOOD and audible WORD seed that is being planted towards forgiveness.
 


Often a thing can LOOK and FEEL good for us initially but over time, we find that it has a HOLD on us that keeps us from being CLOSER to GOD and His Will for our lives. Take some time NOW and evaluate what enemy has been INVITED into your life that NOW needs an EVICTION notice. Recognize like a bad tenant, he won't go WILLINGLY but YOU HAVE THE POWER to REIGN over him and his serpents, scorpions, and every other evil imagination and HIGH thing that EXALTS itself ABOVE the knowledge of JESUS Christ!

I Love You and God Loves You Best, 
ALH, Always Loving Him/Her
