Then there is someone manifesting an iron will, a strong personality whose volitional powers seem unlimited. Yet in the things of God he seems unable to make up his mind ; how often the strongest will waver in his decisions before God. Why is this? Before we answer let us consider another who is full of ideas. Though he never seems at a loss in conceiving new schemes, when it comes to discerning the will of God in spiritual things he is utterly void of light. Why is this so?
While the outward man is so weighted down with the things in hand and is so exhausted, there is little strength left for any spiritual exercise. It is needful, then, to see the limited strength of the outer man. Even though it is broken there must be a wisdom in using this strength. How necessary, then, to have \”empty hands\” !
Pray earnestly that you will not be so busy as to be ineffective for God. There are so many people who are so busy and they remain largely ineffective for the His kingdom. Now you know why.
- Pray that the Lord will show Himself strong on your behalf.
- Pray that He will prove Himself and answer you fire.
- Bind the strongman of servitude, violence, activity of thugs, robbery, laziness, gluttony and poverty.
- By faith I take my territory out of their domain. I cast them down and resist their expansion in Jesus name.
