There are danger zones that are not known to you. There are some blind spots on the way to your destiny that are planned by the enemy devil and his forces. To avoid surprises , to avoid the accidents Jesus advises us to be spiritually alert and always to be aware of the circumstances around you. These zones can be very well avoided by following the two mantras :
1) Stay alert
2) Be in prayer
What blocks you from staying spiritual alert ?
• Laziness
• Lack of spiritual wisdom and understanding
• Lack of experience of identifying such zones
Once saved into the Kingdom of God by accepting Jesus as Lord and savior of Life – Our spirit man is renewed. The zeal for God , the enthusiasm to do much more for God , the craving to Know Him more , the thirst keeps on building, the spirit man is always willing and always ready to be quenched by seeking God more – do you wonder why this happens ? _ BECAUSE thirst of a soul can be quenched by God Himself. The Spirit is a generation from God and only the creator knows how to charge it up. The spirit is willing , the spirit man is ready for anything in God – you need to keep this burning fire for God. There is one block that can hinder and always hinders this pull on the inside of you. Wonder who could it be ? It’s the FLESH!! It’s your own mind , your own body. You need to always let the spirit man dominate your flesh , you need to push the other part of you that longs to be lazy and lay on the couch , lay like an old dog by the fire.
What happens when you remove spiritual laziness from you ?
Stick it out with alertness and be Spared!
- You will not be left unknown about the danger zones
- You will not experience any last min surprises
- You will not be tested
- You will not be tempted
- You will be spared from the time of testing
Bible references:
“Keep alert and pray that you’ll be spared from this time of testing. For your spirit is eager enough, but your humanity is feeble.””
Mark 14:38 TPT
“He came back and found them sound asleep. He said to Peter, “Simon, you went to sleep on me? Can’t you stick it out with me a single hour? Stay alert, be in prayer, so you don’t enter the danger zone without even knowing it. Don’t be naive. Part of you is eager, ready for anything in God; but another part is as lazy as an old dog sleeping by the fire.””
Mark 14:37-38 MSG
