As we go through life, we are going
to be hurt and we are going to be disappointed but we cannot use things or
people to satisfy those hurts and disappointments; we have to go to God with
them!! God is the ONLY One who can help us; He is the ONLY One
who can dig deep inside of our hearts and pull out all the effects of what life
throws at us!! God is the ONLY One who can go deep within us and give us
the inner healing we need!!!
We cannot use any material thing as a
substitute for what only God can do!! ONLY God can heal us; ONLY God
can restore us; ONLY God can deliver us!! As soon as we come to this
conclusion, understand this, get this revelation the sooner we are going to be
delivered and set free from the bondages the enemy has used or is using to set
us up. The enemy is trying to set us up by putting a bunch of “stuff” on us;
causing all kinds of problems including using people to hurt us and come
against us. But in ALL these things, we got to run to the Rock which is Jesus!
We got to run to God in these last and evil days like never before! Man can’t
help us! Money can’t help us! You might think if you had money, your problems
would be over but that’s not true! There are plenty of people with money who are
miserable and committing suicide. It’s one thing to have money and another for
money to have you! There is nothing wrong with being rich but don’t make money
your god; plus money cannot deliver you out of bondage or mend your broken
heart – therefore again, money cannot help you! Material things cannot help us!
When I say “can’t help us” I mean these things cannot heal, deliver, or restore
us! Nobody or nothing can do that but God!!
We must stop looking to people and
things to fill or satisfy the emptiness inside of us; people or things cannot
heal us – ONLY God!! People and material things are only substitutes;
they are only temporary – we can see them. We need to focus on God and tap into
the spirit realm! To do this we need to allow the Holy Spirit to pray through
us directly to God; pray in tongues! When we pray in tongues we tap into
the supernatural realm; we are praying directly to God in an unknown language
to Him – we don’t know what we are praying for but the Holy Spirit knows –He is
praying through us – the Holy Spirit will get through to the Father and the
Father will answer our prayer!! Jesus is already interceding for us and the
Holy Spirit intercede for us when we pray in tongues to the Father - when we
cast ALL our cares, ALL our bondages, ALL our concerns
upon God and He will move for us!!
However, people cannot move for us
because they do not have the ability nor resources to move for us; even if they
are rich they still do not have the ability or resources within themselves to
help us – to get done what we need done!! Remember, they are human just as you
are and they have their free will – only God can touch their heart to help you
– unless God give people compassion for us, they will not have it! Unless they
have the heart of God for His people, they will not be able to help us!!
Therefore, we must STOP
relying on people to do what ONLY God can do!! We need to stop using
people as crutches and drawing strength from them in excess and lean on Jesus
and draw strength from Him!! Again, people are human beings and are not made to
carry us; they sometimes get tired of us but God NEVER get tired of us
and He is built to carry us! However, people will wear out but God will NEVER
wear out; He will NEVER get tired of us!!! God has an UNLIMITED
SUPPLY OF EVERYTHING WE NEED!!! Therefore, we need to take ALL of
our problems, ALL of our cares, ALL of our burdens to the Lord in
prayer; pray in your heavenly language – if you don’t have it yet, ask God to
release your gift to you and He will – if you are filled with the Holy Spirit,
it is available to you!!
Don’t sit back and allow the enemy to
destroy you! The enemy watches us (uses his imps) – they watch the patterns in
our lives – he can tell whether or not we are needy people by our actions. And
needy people always want some other human around them to help them or they call
on others for help constantly. Therefore, the enemy sits back and watch us,
study us to see how he can us our neediness against us; who he can send in our
lives to try and destroy us – he wants to trap us in whatever way he can. Once
the enemy thinks he has the ammunition to use against us, he will send somebody
in our life who we think we can depend on; we then get wrapped up in that
person because we think they are our friend or our husband or wife to be!
However, it is all a setup by the enemy; a trap to totally destroy us!!
I can tell you this because it
happened to me years ago; I was a needy person. The enemy sent the last man I
was married to in my life and since I was desperate for someone to love me, I
married him – I was totally blinded by the desire to be loved! Although God,
friends, and family told me he was not the one for me, I married him anyway. The
Holy Spirit was directing me not marry this guy; even though I was in a
backslidden state, I knew in my spirit that I was not to marry him but the
desire for love and to be able to have sex legally, cause me to married him – I
married for ALL the wrong reasons and it almost cost me my life!! I
wanted so much for him to love me, accept me, validated me, etc. everything I
never received as a child from my parents!! I don’t know why I thought this guy
could give me what I needed; he never showed me any affection or attention
while we were dating – I took care of him – buying him whatever he needed – he
did not work!!
I want to stop here a minute and tell
you ladies, DO NOT TAKE CARE OF A MAN!!! The man needs to take the role
of the husband in the household!! Make sure he has a job and do not buy him –
no matter how much money you give him, you cannot make him love you and he will
not have any respect for you because he knows you are desperate!! I am talking
here about when you meet a man and start dating or whatever you want to call
it, don’t give him money, buy him clothes, let him sit down while you work,
etc. NO, you are starting the relationship off wrong!!
I fell into the trap of the enemy
because I was desperate for love; I was happy to have somebody in my life who
claimed to love me; the devil knew what to have the guy say to me to get me
hooked – remember, he had studied me! Yes, the enemy set me up but in the end,
God gave me the victory – once I turned my life over to Him! I turned to God
for help and God helped me!! That is when God revealed to me that the enemy
sent this man into my life to totally destroy me!! And if it had not been for
God on my side, he would have succeeded; I would have been dead – that guy
tried numerous times to kill me in different ways! He tried to strangle me to
death many times; one time I thought he had killed me – he choked me until I
almost lost consciousness – I just knew I was dead because I felt myself losing
consciousness – BUT GOD!!! Other times, he would put a loaded gun to my
head with his finger on the trigger while he was drunk or high – again, BUT
GOD!!! God would NOT allow the enemy to kill me and He will NOT
allow the enemy to kill you – God is bringing you out NOW!!!
This guy was on an assignment from
hell to totally destroy me as God told me but he could not because God in me is
greater than anything or anybody trying to come against me; God had me cover –
He was protecting me!! Again, I would be dead if God would not have come in and
rescued me!! Therefore, I know the enemy will use people, the closest thing to
you to try to deceive you and try to totally destroy you! So that is why we CANNOT
depend on man; we CANNOT depend on woman; we CANNOT depend on
money; we CANNOT depend on nothing or nobody but God!!! You will not be
complete, happy, free, healed, restored, etc. until you get the revelation that
God is your ONLY help; God is your ONLY source; God is the
ONLY ONE who can help you!!! Hear me by the Spirit!! Let the Holy
Spirit speak to you as you read this message!!
May God bless you and keep you!
