Fruitful🕊

This is a perfect example of spiritual warfare, and this is exactly why we have to stop making excuses for sin, wickedness, and the behaviors that go against the Word of God. We have to rebuke the works of the enemy, stand on the Word of God, and stop normalizing things that Scripture clearly warns us about. When you continually embrace sin, entertain wickedness, and allow destructive agendas to influence the people and children around you, you are opening doors that should have remained closed. You give the devil an inch, and he’ll take a mile. Understand something: The devil doesn’t always take over someone’s life overnight. Sin can begin with a thought, a temptation, a compromise, or a decision to continually reject God’s instructions. The more someone entertains sin without repentance, the more that sin can take hold of their life. Scripture warns us about sexual immorality, including homosexual behavior, and calls us to turn away from sin and pursue holiness. Romans 1:26-27 (KJV) speaks about men and women departing from the natural use of their bodies and describes same-sex sexual behavior. Leviticus 18:22 (KJV): “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.” 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (KJV) also warns that those who practice unrighteousness, including the sexual sins listed in the passage, will not inherit the kingdom of God. We cannot pick and choose which parts of the Bible we want to obey. If we’re going to stand on God’s Word, we have to stand on all of it. And this is why the Bible tells us to put on the FULL ARMOR OF GOD! Ephesians 6:11-12 (KJV): “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 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.” 1 Peter 5:8 (KJV): “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.” John 10:10 (KJV): “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” 2 Corinthians 10:4 (KJV): “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds.” This is also why you need discernment when dating. Pay attention to the fruit people produce, the spirits and influences they entertain, their values, and whether their lives align with the Word of God. Do not allow attraction, loneliness, or emotions to override your discernment. Pray and ask God for wisdom before allowing someone into your life. Remember, our battle is not against flesh and blood. We are not called to hate people, but we are called to stand against sin, reject darkness, and expose the works of the enemy. We must know how to fight spiritually rather than allowing the enemy to distract us into fighting people. STAY PRAYED UP! STAY IN YOUR WORD! PUT ON THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD! STAY COVERED UNDER THE BLOOD OF JESUS! Do not compromise your relationship with God to make room for what the world wants you to accept. Stand firm in your faith. The devil is real, spiritual warfare is real, and we cannot afford to be spiritually asleep in this hour.
