They Are on Assignment - Part II

“No they wouldn’t do that , they didn’t mean that , maybe it was this , maybe it was that ! I can't believe they did that to me ! That’s just how they are.”

I remember saying those things to myself knowing full well that what was happening was exactly what it was. I saw what I saw and heard what I heard, but that belief – the hope – the refusal to accept the truth led me to enter into or stay in situations longer than I should have been, past God's expiration date or against God's approval. It brought forth my own ugly and evil behaviors, that took over 10 years to be delivered from.

Most abusers are not born- they are created - ongoing cycles of mental, emotional and physical abuse bring forth trauma, which is the enemy's main weapon against us because:

Hurt People -Hurt People.

When someone is committed to feeling or believing something there is nothing that can be done to change that, until they are ready to receive -The TRUTH!!!!  One of the reasons Jesus was so hated and people refused to receive the gospel was because it was the TRUTH!!!  We have all heard that saying “The devil is a liar “! and his role is to counterfeit and defile everything that is of the kingdom of God. And we have also heard the saying “The truth hurts” and this is true, however the word of God says, “Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free” John 8:32

The reason why the enemy is able to deceive and continue to engage us in trap after trap is because we are resistant to the “TRUTH”.

Confusing emotions, feelings, thoughts that are not of God but of our own desires will always lead us out of the will of God and in this place, we are uncovered and exposed! It also keeps us in bondage, think about it- what is a lie?  It is a deception that keeps you locked in its hold and influences your decisions, thoughts and actions. For most people if we had the TRUTH, we would make better choices. Right?

Sadly, some people know and have the truth, but are so deep in bondage that they either can't get out or refuse to (creating a reprobate mind).

Listen I know from experience, we all learn these lessons differently. If you were like me, you didn’t learn the 1st time, the 2^nd time or the 3^rd ! LOL I can laugh about this now, but at the time I felt angry, ashamed, confused, guilty and defeated.  

The first step sounds simple, but if you're not ready for change you will refuse because it is going to cause you to “look at the man/woman in the mirror” and you might not like what you see.

STOP and EXAMINE – what is presently in your spirit or around your sphere that needs to be :

1.      Healed

2.      Cleansed

3.      Removed

4.      Broken Down

5.      Rebuilt

What are the Emotions and States of Being that Open the Door to Those on Evil Assignments?

1. Low or No Self Value– not feeling loved, worthy of respect, genuine love and the need to be accepted leads us to compromise our standards when we should be standing on what and who we are in God.

2. Witchcraft – Strongholds and Altars that are Speaking Against You and Programming You through control and manipulation

3. Rebelliousness- refusing to follow any of God’s laws and living life doing as you will

4. Unbelief-refusing to accept the truth for fear that will shatter the fairytale you built around the person or situation

5. Disconnect From God- not nurturing your relationship with God, Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, and being unplugged from the power source

6. Savior Complex- wanting to play God thinking you can save and deliver others without seeking God to inquire if this person is your assignment or not

7. Past Trauma and Abuse- unhealed trauma alters our view of the world and so what is unhealthy looks healthy and vice versa. We seek similar situations , people, places and things because it is what we know.

8. Anger/Bitterness- your anger and bitterness can be like a welcome sign to these demons because you can become the catalyst by which they unleash torment on others

9. Loneliness- being alone and being lonely are too different things. Loneliness will make you desperate and desperation will make you foolish

10. Lust/Promiscuity- you may be struggling consistently with this spirit which makes it easy for the enemy because he knows what you like and will gladly send it your way. Maybe you were delivered from this but may have had a moment of weakness that opened the door.

11. Lack of Knowledge/Naivety – when you are not aware, it is difficult to fight against or protect yourself against an attack. An overall inexperience in the world can also cause you to view people and situations through a “overly trusting” place

12. Depression- long periods of sadness can make us vulnerable to these types of attacks because it feels like a weight that never lifts and it difficult to find joy in anything even in God’s word

13. Generational Curses- life is in the blood. Genetics play a role in not just how we look but how we behave, how we think and some of the events that take place in our lives.

14. Greed- serving God and mammon can never be most of have heard all money aint good money, compromising our spiritual and physical integrity for money will most certainly open the door to an evil assignment.

    
    

    Thoughts + Emotions = Behavior

    
    

Proverbs 23:7 “As a man thinketh so is he.” (Disclaimer - This is not a one size fits all, you may have been discerning and operating from a kingdom place and there are times where God will allow these types of injustices to take place because it glorifies him and, because he has a greater purpose that will be served through you.)  Be encouraged, remember “Everybody Plays the Fool Sometimes” it is how we learn and grow.

The key is to LEARN and GROW.

Most importantly no matter how many times you fell, made mistakes, and felt disappointed in yourself – you are still loved, still redeemed and still able to rise again.

Proverbs 24:16 For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again, but the wicked shall fall into mischief!
