We Should Not Give Up on Anyone because God Has Not Given Up on Us—R Fritz
Sometimes people need some help to overcome issues in their lives. It is God that puts us in other people’s lives. It is for us to give our experience as well as our ability to hear and obey the Holy Spirit to someone who does not have that same ability and is being attacked by Satan. What Satan does is for us to believe we are not good enough through our thoughts. What Satan knows if he tells us the same thing we will believe it over time. This week someone texted me they would quit doing what God wanted them to do then they believed they were supposed to move on because they were doing it for a long time. My question to this person was “what did the Holy Spirit say you are going to do instead.” There were things they had battled for a few years, and it looks like they will overcome them, but they feel different about life. I had texted them that we need to meet in person to have a real conversation. It was not the first conversation I had to put this person back on track where they needed to be. I know when you battle something for a long time, we get down on ourselves. Sometimes God needs to send someone to help pick us up mentally and spiritually, that is what I am sent to do.
There are people who know Jesus who are battling Satan because Satan controls the people of this world. Just because I have a good relationship with the Holy Spirit does not mean I have smooth sailing with life. What I have to offer is I went through the battles already and will keep fighting where most people might give up. I also know what God has for many people so when people want to give up or move on, I must explain to them or if they have heard me tell them to remind them what God has for them. I see the gifts God has given these people as well as other people around them that see the same things. Some of our spiritual gifts given are what people see. Romans 12:6-8 says “Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.” With the gifts I see I also see their calling, what God has called them to do. That is why the Holy Spirit has me get involved because the words I speak are from the Holy Spirit and cut through what Satan has told people. In this case God brought someone else to add to what I said. It was to back up what I said with what someone else has seen.
What people forget is the Holy Spirit lives inside of us. That means we do not have to go anywhere to get the Holy Spirit. We forget that because people do not speak it out. Deuteronomy 31:8 says, “And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.” The LORD goes before us, we need to remember that he will not forsake us because the Holy Spirit lives inside us. When we are in battle with Satan and his demons, we have all the words to defeat these demons where the words come out of mouth as the Holy Spirit gives them to us through our thoughts without us giving a thought to what is happening. We are given everything we need if we accept what the Holy Spirit gives us. The battles to help people are what the Holy Spirit gives me where the demons have spoken to people to persuade them, they are failures or are unworthy of the Lord.
We are never unworthy of the Lord and his love. Romans 8:35-39 says “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, for thy sake we are killed all day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter, Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Nothing can keep us from the love of God because we are more than conquerors with the Holy Spirit. If we have God’s love, we should not be depressed. What happens is our circumstances and feelings change how we see things. We then hear Satan’s ability to speak things into our life which is possible because we do not know Satan and the familiar spirits around us. We doubt ourselves because we do not know our God given abilities, nor do we know God through the Holy Spirit. We need to open the Bible and study with the Holy Spirit as our teacher then apply what the Holy Spirit gives us. We lose our spiritual battles because all the wisdom we have belongs to us, the reason we feel overwhelmed is we do not know the truth and we listen to the wrong people. We have preconceived thoughts, and we try to look for something to back them up. We should open the Bible with the Holy Spirit and follow the Bible with the Holy Spirit leading us. We get our thoughts from three places, one that wants us to keep thinking like we always have that being Satan, the second place is from ourselves or man and the third from God through the Holy Spirit. We choose which thoughts we use because after a while we know which thoughts belong to the Holy Spirit and if we have doubts, we should ask the Holy Spirit.
I have learned to think out of the box (different than most people). It requires us to follow the Holy Spirit with truth being our mission and the ability to change or to do things most people will not do. I also have people that did not give up on me and will never forget them. Their hope was I could battle through my past and the stuff life dealt me. What they did not know was I was not going to give up and God had a plan that I bought into almost immediately. It required to change and to trust God with all my heart, which took time. We all have an opportunity to overcome our past faster than me because I have gone through it. Take what pertains to your circumstances and ask the Holy Spirit how to use it. We now know what it takes to live a blessed life. God Bless.
