Transcript
- 0:00Galatians 6 -7 states, Do not be deceived. God
- 0:04cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Today,
- 0:10I ask you God to search my heart and show me
- 0:13every seed I have allowed into my life that is
- 0:16weakening my resistance. Show me what I have
- 0:19tolerated. Show me what I have entertained. Show
- 0:23me what I have normalized. Show me the boundaries
- 0:26I have slowly moved. Show me what once disturbed
- 0:30my conscience but has gradually become familiar.
- 0:34And God, give me the courage to confront it while
- 0:38it is still a seed. I do not want to wait for
- 0:42the harvest to discover what I should have uprooted
- 0:44at the beginning. Holy Spirit, restore my sensitivity.
- 0:50When you say stop, help me stop. When you say
- 0:53leave, give me courage to leave. When you say
- 0:58close the door, give me strength to close it.
- 1:02When you expose a dangerous relationship, give
- 1:05me wisdom to establish boundaries. When you reveal
- 1:09compromise, do not allow me to defend it. When
- 1:13you show me something that cannot accompany my
- 1:16purpose, give me the courage to surrender it.
- 1:20God, I refuse to keep watering what I am asking
- 1:24you to remove. I will not continually feed the
- 1:28thought that weakens me. I will not keep entertaining
- 1:32the conversation that moves my boundaries. I
- 1:36will not continually revisit the offense that
- 1:39produces bitterness. I will not feed the appetite
- 1:43that competes with my purpose. I will not maintain
- 1:47unnecessary access to what repeatedly weakens
- 1:51my convictions. Teach me to recognize the seed
- 1:55before it becomes a harvest teach me to recognize
- 1:59the spark before it becomes a fire teach me to
- 2:03recognize compromise before it becomes bondage
- 2:06teach me to recognize the exit before temptation
- 2:10convinces me there is no way out god strengthen
- 2:14my resistance again where compromise has weakened
- 2:18me strengthen me where familiarity has silenced
- 2:22conviction awaken me Where repeated exposure
- 2:27has made something dangerous appear normal open
- 2:31my eyes Where I have moved the boundary help
- 2:34me restore it Where I have become spiritually
- 2:38careless bring me back to prayer Bring me back
- 2:41to your word Bring me back to obedience bring
- 2:45me back to the fear of God Bring me back to sensitivity
- 2:49to the Holy Spirit and God protect me from confusing
- 2:54your mercy with permission. If you protected
- 2:57me from consequences, thank you for mercy. If
- 3:01you exposed something before it destroyed me,
- 3:04thank you for mercy. If you interrupted a relationship,
- 3:09thank you for mercy. If you closed the door I
- 3:12wanted open, thank you for mercy. If you confronted
- 3:16something I was trying to justify, thank you
- 3:19for mercy. I will not say, I got away with it.
- 3:24I will say, God gave me another opportunity to
- 3:27get it right. God, there is another seed within
- 3:31me that I want to water, the seed of purpose.
- 3:35Water my faith, strengthen my character, deepen
- 3:39my prayer life, increase my hunger for your word,
- 3:43develop my discipline, strengthen my boundaries,
- 3:47purify my relationships. Teach me obedience.
- 3:51Produce self -control within me through the Holy
- 3:53Spirit. Let what you planted in me become stronger
- 3:57than what was planted against me. Therefore,
- 4:00today I declare, I will starve the wrong seed.
- 4:05I will not feed what is trying to weaken me.
- 4:08I will not water what threatens my purpose. I
- 4:11will not normalize what God is calling me to
- 4:15confront. I will not keep moving boundaries to
- 4:18accommodate compromise. My resistance is being
- 4:21restored. My convictions are being strengthened.
- 4:25My spiritual sensitivity is returning. My boundaries
- 4:29are being rebuilt. My character is being refined.
- 4:33I declare that temporary appetite will not destroy
- 4:37permanent purpose. Compromise will not steal
- 4:40my calling. Offense will not poison my heart.
- 4:44Bad influence will not determine my direction.
- 4:48Secret habits will not become the enemy of my
- 4:51future. By the help of the Holy Spirit, I choose
- 4:55the seed of purpose. I will water what strengthens
- 4:59my relationship with God. I will water what strengthens
- 5:03my family. I will water what strengthens my character.
- 5:08I will water what strengthens my calling. I will
- 5:12water what strengthens the vision God has entrusted
- 5:16to me. And if God exposes something today that
- 5:19could destroy me tomorrow, I will recognize the
- 5:23exposure as mercy. The seed will not become the
- 5:27harvest. The spark will not become the forest
- 5:30fire. The compromise will not become my master.
- 5:34God is restoring my resistance. God is strengthening
- 5:38my discipline. God is protecting the harvest
- 5:42connected to my purpose. I am being refined for
- 5:46a purpose. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen,
- 5:51amen and amen. Remember, you are not alone.
