God did not get you back on your feet so you can run right back to the thing that knock you down before! When we seek God’s help in our lives, we can not allow ourselves to continue doing what got us in that state before.
The old adage, “You cannot keep doing the same thing expecting different results.” is the world’s truth. However, there is a spiritual truth that many choose to ignore. Matthew 12:73-45 and Luke 11:24-26 states, “When the unclean spirit has come out of a person, it comes through dry places seeking rest but does not find it. Then it says, ‘I shall return to my house from which I came out:” Then when it comes it finds the "house" (our bodies) empty, having been swept and decorated, then it goes and takes with itself seven other spirits more evil than itself and after they enter they dwell there; and the last state of that person becomes worse than the first state and so it will be with this evil generation.
That is why trying to overcome things when we back slide keeps getting harder and harder. It does not need to be this way. John 8:36 says, If therefore the Son would set you free, you will truly be free. We are free because we are no longer slaves to sin. Once we call upon Y’shua to be our Savior, we are under His divine protection. That does not mean we can keep sinning.
We need to wrap ourselves up in His Word, change our attitude about sin, turn away from it and follow His way. We must continually fill ourselves up with His word, with love, and with righteousness so there is no room for evil to reside within you. When we play the hokey pokey with Him...we are NOT in His will. You cannot have one foot in and one foot out...it is all or nothing!
Have a blessed and spirit filled day, my friend. May there always be Shalom in your heart and in your home. {{{giggles & hugs}}}
