28 May Pointing Fingers? Blame Shifting? Or Taking Responsibility for You?

God honors when we decide to take an “inner evaluation” and focus on what changes WE need to make, or have made, inside of us versus focusing on what changes somebody else needs to make…

The enemy likes to distract and make bitter those who point fingers and are always praying for the “other one” to change.

Fruit begins to take place when we ask God to make the change in US FIRST, and when that happens it normally begins to change the other individual (as our heart softens and walls begin to crumble).

It begins with recognizing there is a problem and a desperate heart to see transformation take place…
It takes humility,
Submission to God in every moment throughout the day in this area,
all pride set aside
a willingness to acknowledge where you have been wrong when God opens your eyes to it,
A willingness to change,
and obedience to His leading when he shows you what you need to do next.

There is no certain formula.
No way of fixing it the way we did last time, no self help program
or book
and no boxing God in.
This is a leading by the Holy Spirit of God himself.

It is a choice. Its a sacrifice. It’s a killer of your flesh! It is an area the enemy likes to find open doors so that his assignment may take place.

It’s a battlefield…

but the Holy Spirit will Give you that discernment and once he does He will also lead you to the next step you’re supposed to take.

When you CHOOSE to shift your FOCUS on on what God is showing you and telling you to do, then your eyes stay FIXED on Him and your heart is focused on the victory you have because of Him.
But if you don’t choose to stay focused on God then you will see the other side of it which is the enemy and his doing… the enemy will lie to you and tell you every reason it’s not going to work. He brings fear and confusion. Depression and hopelessness, weariness and a victim spirit, etc. When you’re focused on the enemies doing, your wilderness time is stretched.
Its very important to note that after the enemy pries his foot in the door a few times, he is then able to kick it wide open, it then becomes a stronghold and I recommend that you seek deliverance in that area

This is why it is so important to SUBMIT yourself to God,
know the Power and Truth of the Word of God
And continually throughout the day looking to Him for the key, that is going to unlock the next door that stands in front of you.

Praying that the Lord would make this real to you through revelation and that He would meet you where your at…
That your eyes would be focused and stay focused, on HIM and his leading…
That your ears will be opened to hearing his voice and strategy, his good will.
That He would give you the strength and power, to walk it out.
That you would see the enemy only for, what he is doing and how he is being defeated (Jesus died on the cross for us and the devil was defeated)
That your eyes will be opened to the authority that you have,
That you would walk in love and a desire to understand that other person,
And that you would walk in the grace and forgiveness that God desires you walk in, when we act or react in a “not so godly manner”.
