Get right with God.

Get right with God.

“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.”
Ephesians 5:11

As a child of God, do not continue to participate or practice the unfruitful works of darkness. Stepping away from the truth of God's word and practicing unrighteousness brings you into satan's realm. So examine your life. Are your values consistent with the Word of God? Every area of your life where you are compromising the Word of God is the area of your life where satan will have a foothold.

For instance, a Christian may be praying for success or breakthrough, but as long as he is contradicting the Word of God in his lifestyle and character, he will not see results. You cannot mix light and darkness together. It will not work that way. If a Christian is praying to have a great marriage and he is living in sin. He has already aligned himself with satan. At that point, because he is not abiding in the truth, he is exposed to demonic influence by refusing to comply with God's Word.

This explains why some Christians are oppressed in their lives because they have yanked off the influence of God's Word. They may be praying and fasting, but as  long as they are in disobedience, they will remain under satan's influence.

Every thought, idea and concept inconsistent with the Word of God is from satan. Therefore, you will actually be opposing yourself and your own progress if you continue living your life based on any thought or belief inconsistent with the Word of God. 2 Timothy 2:25-26 says, “In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.”

Prayer.
Dear Father, I repent from any way in which I have been going my own way that is inconsistent with your Word. I ask that you forgive me in any area of my life where I have willfully contradicted your Word. Expose every seed of falsehood that has entered into my belief system, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

Ephesians 5:1-16.      

Doing the Word
Whatever you are been convicted about today that you have been participating in or practicing that is not consistent with the Word of God, repent and receive grace to live right.
