For
God is not a God of confusion but peace. I Corinthians 14:33, ESV.
What
are you perplexed about?
Is there something that keeps you up at night? Is
there something you can’t seem to quiet your mind about? Have you been trying
to figure out a problem and you just can’t seem to find the answers? Do you
seem to get more confused if you try and figure out the problem?
Be
still and know that I am God. Psalm 46:10, NKJV.
Is
your mind at rest or is it in turmoil? The enemy loves to
distract us from what God has for us so the enemy sends deceivers in our paths
to disrupt the plan of God. You begin to lose focus and perspective and get off
track. You know longer know God’s plan; you become confused and perplexed. You
then become restless and agitated and lose your sense of purpose. Whatever came
into your path seemed so innocent, but it got you off track and distracted.
Your mind is like a war-zone; a battlefield. The enemy would love to entangle
you and drag you back into the “pit.”
You may have a real desire to help those that come to
you in need, but if God has not given you a clear direction then you are trying
to fix something or someone rather than waiting on God’s leading. You must
never step out of God’s leading in a situation, no matter how great the need
is. The enemy will use devastating
circumstances to try and lure you into their entangled web. You might say, “but
this is family, I have to help.” If you feel overwhelmed, unsure, confused, burdened
or guilty, then the motivation is not coming from God but satan. Check the
source before intervening in a situation.
The problem is not understanding we are in warfare and
we do have a real enemy, and he does come disguised to take us off guard. Don’t
follow the crowds because you most likely will be misled, but follow the
leading of the Holy Spirit. If God remains quiet for a time, then it is not
time to get impatient and decide to step out of God’s leading.
God
is a God of peace and order, God brings order and an easy flow.
GOD DOES NOT BRING CHAOS AND CONFUSION. If God is in something you will know
it, and you will not have to try and figure out what to do. If you have been interceding in a situation
that God had not directed then you could be falling in a snare of the enemy to
keep you in bondage.
The
enemy wants to set a trap to ensnare you with, and he will use the people
closet in your life to do so. The enemy will entice you with their problems,
needs, and threats. The
enemy will show you their situations and magnify them.
You will get the sense you have to act now
and immediately because they are in danger.
The enemy will use manipulative and controlling tactics
to get you into his scheme. WHY DO WE BELIEVE God can’t step in and intervene
in the most horrific of situations? The best help you can truly give someone is
intercession prayer. Without satan and his cohorts being bound first in their
lives, the enemies’ tricks and plans will try and infiltrate your life. There
is a lack of understanding about spiritual warfare and so many Christians are
getting themselves in situations that could put them in the line of fire for
the enemy. We must never fear the enemy but we must know him and we must guard
and be aware of his schemes to take us out.
If you have been in a cycle of fixing and controlling
people and situations then it is time to step back and let God have His way.
God may not want you to intervene other than prayer. As Christians we believe
every need and hurt is our cause, when in reality God may be having His way in
that person’s life and we must step out of the way.
Confusion comes when we are in the way, and we hate to
see people hurt and we try and figure out solutions to their problems. Get out
of the way and the confusion will leave and when Christ directs you to do
something you will not have to try and figure it out because Jesus will give
you the answer. Be still and KNOW that He
is God. Psalm 46:10.
