~ Eph 6:12 NIV ~For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
One thing that I have learned during this Christian walk is how to pull back. By pulling back, I mean that I can’t expect everyone to see everything that I see in the spiritual realm. For example, you wouldn’t expect a newly saved person to go around preaching, laying hands on the sick, or casting out demons. Why? Because they are not strong enough in the word yet; they are still drinking milk. As a Christian you need to know your strengths and weakness in certain areas, because if you are not strong enough to cast out demons from a possessed person, and you try to, you could get yourself really hurt. We have to let our spirit man grow daily and wait until the Holy Spirit tells us to move. One thing that used to get to me was when trying to explain something in the spiritual realm that I see to someone one who couldn’t see and they brushed me off as being superstitious . I think people are quick to label things that they don’t understand as superstitious or scary when they don’t understand the spiritual realm. First of all superstition is straight from the pits of hell, and the enemy loves to keep this fear going. Second of all, I denounced all of that madness when I became saved.
Also another time while trying to explain something to someone that just didn’t seem to get it, the Holy Spirit told me to pull back, because they can’t see what you see right now. The Holy Spirit told me to never force anything on babes in Christ, because you could possibly turn them away altogether, and that is the last thing that I want to do. As Christians just realize that there are different levels of spirituality, and please don’t get upset if someone can’t see everything that you see right now. Just continue to pray, develop spiritually, and pray that others continue to mature so that they too, can see everything.
Can anyone out there relate?
Be Blessed * Y’all.
