A Warning of Accepting Some ‘Help and Gifts’

It Requires a Process!
The Apostle Paul declared he’d rather glory in his infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest up in him. (2 Corinthians 12:9).
It’s easy to self proclaim and be man ordained with a “title” — but for the anointing to perform that which the title is supposed to demonstrate requires A PROCESS — and that process will often come with much affliction and suffering.
For CHRIST and His tangible GLORY to be revealed requires death to self and death is painful.
Many pridefully and arrogantly want to sit at the right hand of glory but are not willing to drink of the bitter cup that comes with that power and authority.
Tell Me The Sufferings!
In the New Testament writings it is recorded that the apostle Paul endured numerous afflictions throughout his ministry; Physical Suffering, Opposition and Persecution, Sickness and Infirmity, Spiritual warfare…
📝📌 Paul experienced physical hardships, including beatings, imprisonments, and shipwrecks. He mentions being beaten with rods, being stoned, and being in danger from various sources (2 Corinthians 11:23-28).
📝📌Paul faced opposition and persecution from both Jews and Gentiles as he preached the Gospel. He was often rejected, reviled, and opposed by those who opposed the message of Christ.
📝📌Paul speaks of a “thorn in the flesh,” which he describes as a messenger of Satan to torment him. While the nature of this thorn is not explicitly stated, it caused Paul great distress (2 Corinthians 12:7).
📝📌 Paul faced spiritual battles and challenges in his ministry. He wrestled against false teachings, spiritual strongholds, and demonic opposition.
What qualifies you to be a Prophet or an Apostle?
Don’t tell me about your ordination service — or your theological seminary completion!
Don’t tell me about the number of followers and viewers you’ve gathered on your platforms!
Tell me the sufferings you endured with Christ to affirm your office, what you’ve overcome‼️
A Warning of Accepting Some ‘Help and Gifts’
Many have had their souls snared, because of demonic exchanges that came in the form of accepting “HELP” from people who were masked in deception and had diabolic motives and intents.
Money and gifts were offered, and from then destinies were exchanged, stars were tampered with, virtues and life source drained by unexplained even rare sickness especially blood became evident and in worse case scenarios lives were wasted.
When God wants to bless your life, He will send someone and when the enemy wants to destroy your life he will also send someone.
Either way , there’s always a supernatural force behind each encounter!
Never assume people’s show of ‘kindness’ and their smiles for ‘purity’, for the book of 1 John 4:1 declares:
“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are of God.”
The fact that sometimes some “help” come at a time when we are really in need, and at this vulnerable time, that’s when the enemy will strategize an opportunity to use his devices.
That’s why God wants us to KNOW HIM AS SOURCE — AND NOT PEOPLE‼️
People unfortunately, have made themselves available for the enemy to use them also, only to their ultimate destruction.
“The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it? I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings.” Jeremiah 17:9-10.
There are people in the same place among us — and even in The Church — who are soul hunters and destiny destroyers.
They are witches and sorcerers, and then there are some who give just give to hold things over you so it’s not coming from a good heart.
We have to be sober and vigilant in this season.
We must break now the covenant made with these people by receiving their curses ignorantly.
God is exposing‼️
Shalom

Amen Syreeta that’s a good word and agree I don’t think we need to tell people whether we are this or that unless the situation requires it as the Lord knows and He is the one who is making and using us for His purposes. And promotion comes from Him so we don’t have to jostle for position – but as you mentioned in Jeremiah about our hearts – in days of late I see my own heart and thoughts towards people and not the
prettiest picture so I want the Lord to purify it and walk in more love . Bless you and your family Syreeta
God bless you as well dear Maureen
