Compromise
God speaks to you.
Tells you how much He loves you, how much He wants you in His life. God assures you what kind of provider He is and lists the abundant promises that He gives to you.
And you believe Him.
Spend a little bit of time in His word. Maybe even pray occasionally, but it all comes to a screeching halt.
Because you meet a man.
Better known as kryptonite.
Someone sent by the Devil to distract you from God.
He tells u that he loves you and how much he needs you. He even gives you a list of what he’ll do for you. Although they’re nothing compared to the promises of God you trust him to let him in close enough to whisper sweet nothings in your ear.
And you let him because you love him a little bit more than you love God. And then wonder why the relationship doesn’t last.
After he gets what he wants, he leaves with a piece of your heart that you feel you’ll never get back. He leaves with the same soul you promised to surrender to God, but he left it torn to shreds.
Leaving your heart broken.
Scorned.
Then you go before God again.
Because you realize He never left. He stood firm on His end of the deal by never failing or forsaking you according to Joshua 1:5 and you go to Him and ask for His forgiveness.
But how do you truly transition to loving God full time in order to block out the pillow talking of a man?
- First realize that this is spiritual warfare
The devil knew that this man was going to be a distraction in your life. A strong hold that you wouldn’t be able to resist because what you want more than anything is a husband.
The agony of loneliness.
The devil knew that you would compromise your relationship with God for a moment of satisfaction that would ultimately lead to your demise.
So how can you fix it?
1. Humble yourself
I often wondered what it meant to humble myself.
When I began to really yearn for God’s answers, I went to the Greek Hebrew Translation of the word to gain a better understanding of it.
Tapeinoo (pronounced tap-i-no) means to become needy, to take a lower position.
A lot of the times we don’t ask God for His help because we think that the situation can be handled on our own. That’s an arrogant approach to solving a problem.
Confess to God that you can’t get over this man by yourself. That you need His help to move on and with that humble attitude, you’re only steps away from God hearing your prayers.
2. Pray
You: God, I want him to be my husband. I love him sooo much! Please, please, please let us be together. Amen.
God: Uh…no!
Examine yourself like it tells us to do in 2 Corinthians 13:5. Was your prayer made out of fear and selfishness instead of faith and love?
If you have had a series of bad relationships, it might be time to stop telling God what and who you want and just be still.
Willing to hear His voice and trust His plan instead of trying to fix something yourself that was never meant to be.
Don’t worry about anything, Pray about everything.
Tell God what you need and thank Him for all you have and you’ll experience peace greater than the human mind can understand
(Philippians 4:6-7)
Pray and EXPECT God to work everything out for your good.
3. Seek God’s face
What does that actually mean?
The Hebrew Greek translation of the word Seek is Darash which means to inquire, question, or search for.
“God’s face” is His presence.
So you’re called to search for, question, and inquire about His presence in regards to His divine purpose and plan for your life.
But instead of “seeking” Him, you’ve devoted your time and energy to seeking the the guy.
Refocus your priorities and put God first.
4. Turn from your wicked ways
Then will He hear from Heaven, and will forgive your sins and heal your land (or your broken heart) 1 Corinthians 7:14.
A broken heart is not easy to mend, but by asking God to heal you and fill the void that YOU allowed the the guy, He will restore your peace of mind and move you to the place He called you to be or the man He called you to be with!
