I’m reading a book that has changed my life…a book that I’ve been searching for the past three months. There is no better way to share this than to ask you to get a copy of “THE BAIT OF SATAN. By John Bevere.
As much as I want to write and share every page of this book… it’s an honor to share this wisdom with you.
HOW YOU VIEW YOUR PAST RELATIONS IS A SCOPE FOR YOUR FUTURE ONES.
There is an old parable that fits this situation. Back in the days when the settlers were moving to the West, a wise man stood on a hill outside a new western town. As the settlers came from the East, the wise man was the person they met before coming to the settlement. They asked eagerly what the people of the town were like.
He answered them with a question: “what were the people like from the town you just left?’
Some said, “The town we came from was wicked. The people were rude gossipers who took advantage of innocent people. It was filled with thieves and liars.”
The wise man answered, “This town is the same as the one you left.”
They thanked the man for saving them from the trouble they had just come out of. They then moved on further west.
Then another group of settlers asked the same question: “What is this town like?”
The wise man asked again, “What was the town like were you just came from?’
They responded. “It was wonderful! We had dear friends. Everyone looked out for the others’ interest. There was never any lack, all cared for one another. If someone had a big project, the entire community gathered to help. It was a hard decision to leave, but we felt compelled to make way for future generations by going west as pioneers.”
The wise man said to them exactly what he had said to the other group: “This town is the same as the one you left.”
These people responded with joy, “Let’s settle here!”
How they viewed their past relations was their scope for their future ones. The way you leave one relationship is the way you will enter into the next. Statistics say 60 to 65 percent of divorced people end up getting divorced again after remarrying.
Many times God will allow people to run from situations He desires them to face if they are set on running from their hearts.
If we are so set in our hearts not to face difficult situations, God will actually release us even though it is not his perfect will.
Does God Change his mind?
The answer is, God doesn’t change his mind, sometimes we are so set on going to a place that God Lets us go. He lets us do what we want even if it’s not His original plan – even when it’s not in our best interest.
But this can only give us temporary relief. The root of the problem remaining untouched.
