WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.759 Galatians 6 -7 states, Do not be deceived. God 00:00:04.759 --> 00:00:09.640 cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Today, 00:00:10.099 --> 00:00:13.060 I ask you God to search my heart and show me 00:00:13.060 --> 00:00:16.300 every seed I have allowed into my life that is 00:00:16.300 --> 00:00:19.280 weakening my resistance. Show me what I have 00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:23.179 tolerated. Show me what I have entertained. Show 00:00:23.179 --> 00:00:26.780 me what I have normalized. Show me the boundaries 00:00:26.780 --> 00:00:30.829 I have slowly moved. Show me what once disturbed 00:00:30.829 --> 00:00:34.090 my conscience but has gradually become familiar. 00:00:34.909 --> 00:00:38.750 And God, give me the courage to confront it while 00:00:38.750 --> 00:00:42.189 it is still a seed. I do not want to wait for 00:00:42.189 --> 00:00:44.890 the harvest to discover what I should have uprooted 00:00:44.890 --> 00:00:49.229 at the beginning. Holy Spirit, restore my sensitivity. 00:00:50.090 --> 00:00:53.869 When you say stop, help me stop. When you say 00:00:53.869 --> 00:00:58.200 leave, give me courage to leave. When you say 00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:01.500 close the door, give me strength to close it. 00:01:02.299 --> 00:01:05.459 When you expose a dangerous relationship, give 00:01:05.459 --> 00:01:09.120 me wisdom to establish boundaries. When you reveal 00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:13.319 compromise, do not allow me to defend it. When 00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:16.060 you show me something that cannot accompany my 00:01:16.060 --> 00:01:20.040 purpose, give me the courage to surrender it. 00:01:20.540 --> 00:01:24.079 God, I refuse to keep watering what I am asking 00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:28.469 you to remove. I will not continually feed the 00:01:28.469 --> 00:01:32.329 thought that weakens me. I will not keep entertaining 00:01:32.329 --> 00:01:36.430 the conversation that moves my boundaries. I 00:01:36.430 --> 00:01:39.950 will not continually revisit the offense that 00:01:39.950 --> 00:01:43.790 produces bitterness. I will not feed the appetite 00:01:43.790 --> 00:01:47.930 that competes with my purpose. I will not maintain 00:01:47.930 --> 00:01:51.650 unnecessary access to what repeatedly weakens 00:01:51.650 --> 00:01:55.569 my convictions. Teach me to recognize the seed 00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:59.400 before it becomes a harvest teach me to recognize 00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:03.219 the spark before it becomes a fire teach me to 00:02:03.219 --> 00:02:06.680 recognize compromise before it becomes bondage 00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:10.120 teach me to recognize the exit before temptation 00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:14.780 convinces me there is no way out god strengthen 00:02:14.780 --> 00:02:18.460 my resistance again where compromise has weakened 00:02:18.460 --> 00:02:22.800 me strengthen me where familiarity has silenced 00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:27.159 conviction awaken me Where repeated exposure 00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:31.020 has made something dangerous appear normal open 00:02:31.020 --> 00:02:34.979 my eyes Where I have moved the boundary help 00:02:34.979 --> 00:02:38.120 me restore it Where I have become spiritually 00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:41.819 careless bring me back to prayer Bring me back 00:02:41.819 --> 00:02:45.479 to your word Bring me back to obedience bring 00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:49.479 me back to the fear of God Bring me back to sensitivity 00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:54.099 to the Holy Spirit and God protect me from confusing 00:02:54.099 --> 00:02:57.819 your mercy with permission. If you protected 00:02:57.819 --> 00:03:01.740 me from consequences, thank you for mercy. If 00:03:01.740 --> 00:03:04.520 you exposed something before it destroyed me, 00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:08.479 thank you for mercy. If you interrupted a relationship, 00:03:09.219 --> 00:03:12.639 thank you for mercy. If you closed the door I 00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:16.960 wanted open, thank you for mercy. If you confronted 00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:19.840 something I was trying to justify, thank you 00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:24.009 for mercy. I will not say, I got away with it. 00:03:24.509 --> 00:03:27.870 I will say, God gave me another opportunity to 00:03:27.870 --> 00:03:31.270 get it right. God, there is another seed within 00:03:31.270 --> 00:03:34.650 me that I want to water, the seed of purpose. 00:03:35.409 --> 00:03:39.069 Water my faith, strengthen my character, deepen 00:03:39.069 --> 00:03:42.750 my prayer life, increase my hunger for your word, 00:03:43.409 --> 00:03:46.289 develop my discipline, strengthen my boundaries, 00:03:47.150 --> 00:03:50.599 purify my relationships. Teach me obedience. 00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:53.400 Produce self -control within me through the Holy 00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:57.060 Spirit. Let what you planted in me become stronger 00:03:57.060 --> 00:04:00.159 than what was planted against me. Therefore, 00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:04.520 today I declare, I will starve the wrong seed. 00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:07.960 I will not feed what is trying to weaken me. 00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:11.840 I will not water what threatens my purpose. I 00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:15.000 will not normalize what God is calling me to 00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:18.439 confront. I will not keep moving boundaries to 00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:21.959 accommodate compromise. My resistance is being 00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:25.160 restored. My convictions are being strengthened. 00:04:25.660 --> 00:04:29.399 My spiritual sensitivity is returning. My boundaries 00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:33.300 are being rebuilt. My character is being refined. 00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:37.259 I declare that temporary appetite will not destroy 00:04:37.259 --> 00:04:40.579 permanent purpose. Compromise will not steal 00:04:40.579 --> 00:04:44.220 my calling. Offense will not poison my heart. 00:04:44.819 --> 00:04:47.959 Bad influence will not determine my direction. 00:04:48.540 --> 00:04:51.680 Secret habits will not become the enemy of my 00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:55.420 future. By the help of the Holy Spirit, I choose 00:04:55.420 --> 00:04:59.519 the seed of purpose. I will water what strengthens 00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:03.819 my relationship with God. I will water what strengthens 00:05:03.819 --> 00:05:08.199 my family. I will water what strengthens my character. 00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:12.259 I will water what strengthens my calling. I will 00:05:12.259 --> 00:05:16.060 water what strengthens the vision God has entrusted 00:05:16.060 --> 00:05:19.879 to me. And if God exposes something today that 00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:23.220 could destroy me tomorrow, I will recognize the 00:05:23.220 --> 00:05:27.259 exposure as mercy. The seed will not become the 00:05:27.259 --> 00:05:30.560 harvest. The spark will not become the forest 00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:34.000 fire. The compromise will not become my master. 00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:38.740 God is restoring my resistance. God is strengthening 00:05:38.740 --> 00:05:42.259 my discipline. God is protecting the harvest 00:05:42.259 --> 00:05:46.240 connected to my purpose. I am being refined for 00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:50.379 a purpose. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen, 00:05:51.060 --> 00:05:56.339 amen and amen. Remember, you are not alone.
