Surviving "Delilah" and "Amnon"
Matthew 17:21
“Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.”
A Message for our
Sons and Daughters
Matthew 17:21:
"Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting."
Both males and females choose the handsome guy and the
beautiful girl to date. Humans tend to
overlook people of the opposite gender who might not be the most
good-looking. I hear young people talk a
lot about "my type." We ignore someone because they may not be pretty
on the outside, but they might be beautiful inside. Remember, Jesus was
described as lacking comeliness. "For he shall grow up before him as a
tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor
comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire
him," Isaiah 53:2. While Satan
was often considered handsome because it was easy for him to disguise himself
as an angel of light, "And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed
into an angel of light." 2
Corinthians 11:14. When you choose a mate, remember, the man or woman you
choose to be your partner affects EVERYTHING in your life. They affect your
mental health, your peace of mind, the love inside you, your happiness, how you
get through tragedies, your success, and your failure. They affect how your
children will be raised and so much more. It will help if you choose wisely.
Very often, your "type" could be why you are single, or your life is
in complete turmoil and disarray. We need to select with the mind of Christ,
not our fleshly desires. Emotional desperation causes you to get into a soul
tie that is an evil bondage. We naturally need to love and be loved, but avoid
these types of relationships at all costs. It is better to pray away from such
a tie than get in it and pray your way out. Stop yourself now from such a tie.
Be self-defined to earn your seat in the Kingdom of God. Create an environment
where you study the Word, pray, learn more about your passion, and grow your
gifts, skills, and talents while engaging in fun activities. Learn to be
confident enough to enjoy your own company so you recognize when the wrong
company comes your way.
Refrain from complicating matters. We tend to get sucked
into old worries from our childhood and mishaps from our early years. We often
see and project the fears that plagued our previous relationship into our
current one; frequently, they don't belong there. We must admit these issues to ourselves and
address the emotional stability caused by them because, if uncontrolled, they
can potentially develop harmful patterns that obliterate any chance of leading
a more contented, creative, and fulfilled life.
Daughters of God don't be swayed by men with the Spirit of
Amnon. So likewise, sons of God don't be swayed by women with Delilah's heart.
Don't look in a catfish pool for a flounder; none are there. Instead, switch to
a collection of perch and flounder. There are flawed fish in that other pool of
catfish and shellfish, but all are not flawed, and you only need one. One, who
you draw close to God first, then enjoy life together. Go to a place where
people attempt to practice the commandments and show their love for God. There
is someone with the right Spirit for you in that pool. Stop looking in the
world; don't even settle for someone who used to keep the Sabbath, eat clean
food, or do those things God said to do. These demons primarily work through
sexual persuasion, scheming, and greed. These spirits will lead to your
spiritual capture, enslavement, and demise. Young men do not be captive to
beautiful women and sex. Young women should not be held captive to false
promises and swag. Both are worthless.
Sons of God, talk to your mother, grandmother, aunt, adult
sister, or teachers. They can see through "Delilah" and want the best
for you. Young ladies, talk to the men in your life, grandfather, father, older
brothers, uncles, and cousins. They know men, see "Amnon" clearly,
and want the best man for you. Then, make them wait. You'll be glad you did.
The devil gives you today what he will take away tomorrow, including your
self-respect, finances, and personal value. However, the Most High makes you
wait until tomorrow for your blessing, but it lasts forever. Therefore, please
take your time and choose wisely. Stay free from evil but sneaky soul ties.
When you have sex with a young man, the chemical Oxycontin is released from the
brain, causing you to be emotionally attached before you are mature enough to
handle such an attachment. Young sisters, give yourselves time to become
virtuous wives. And young brothers earn to become respectable, worthy, and kind
husbands. You will be more valuable when you've matured and discovered more
about life. Your power is in waiting. It does not matter how old or long you
have been waiting for that person. Wait. Don't give up your strength. That is
what you do when you do not practice abstinence. Besides, as much as he pushes
a viand, whines, and even tries to intimidate, he doesn't know he doesn't need
it now either.
The life we live now is in preparation for eternal life.
It's like a course you took in college. The reading, quizzes, and activities
all put you in a position to pass that final test to move to graduation. You
can't graduate without reading the material and passing the projects, wizzes,
and tests. I hope to see you all at the graduation. I'm making it with cleaned
garments. Clean your garments. Passover and Unleavened Bread is a time to think
about these things. Please think about these things. The goal is salvation.
Seek the Kingdom of God first and foremost, and you will come.
Feeling the urge to have sex is a normal part of human
nature. But we can control those tingling feelings and strong emotions in our
minds with prayer. Unfortunately, these feelings can sometimes interfere with
daily life and relationships, sometimes very severely. These feelings can cause
us to make the wrong decisions if we allow them to. These tingly feelings are
where temperance comes in. It is an opportunity to grow in this fruit of the
Spirit. There are ways to control these sexual urges. Maintaining them will
help you improve your quality of life, relationships, and your ability to be
productive. These feelings can affect our productivity. You can learn to avoid
situations that make you have sexual desires. Don't invite them to your home
for an intimate dinner when dating—date publicly, in public places and spaces.
Find someone to talk to about your concerns, even seek professional
help if your sexual urges negatively impact your life. Date to get to know a
person to see if they can be a good candidate for marriage. Keep sex out of the
dating process at all costs. Think of your body as God's temple. 1 Corinthians 6:19, "What? know ye
not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye
have of God, and ye are not your own?" Save your life by saving your body
from the devil you can't see. STOP! WAIT! DO NOT DO IT! Making wrong choices is no joke. The Amnon
spirit and the Delilah spirit will trap you into a soul tie that you can only
be free of with fasting and prayer.
This Amnon and Delilah spirit will insist you choose them
over things God told you to do. A partner, mate, and spouse is the most critical
decision you will make in your life. The choice will dictate your success more
than your choice of career. The Spirit of Amnon and Delilah have an insidious
spirit that establishes a strong confederation with the mind's passions and
appetites. It will stop at nothing until its lustful desires are satisfied, and
a woman or man who falls prey to these spirits will become broken and so far
moved from the right she or he can hardly find their way back. The Amnon and
Delilah spirit will make you feel hopeless and worthless. And when either
Spirit starts using your resources and funds for their pleasure, you will go
broke; still, more is needed. It's better to be alone and wait on God to play
someone in your life who shows evidence of growth in righteousness. If you are
walking on eggshells with them, walk away quickly. It won't get better. You
can't predict how they will react to anything. No matter what you do, how much
you give, spend, or sit, it will NEVER be satisfied. His appetite for devaluing
you is insatiable.
Then they will cry, spit venom from their tongue, withdraw,
and ignore you to get their way when they feel you are thinking yourself and
drawing away. They are probably good-looking physically but as ugly as hell on
the inside. It will never get better, and you will miss the partner God has for
you. Save this text because I won't share the warning again. The ball is in
your court. I hope you choose salvation over outer beauty/handsomeness and
lust. You were all born for eternal life. Choose it and live.
Being beautiful inside is more crucial than outer beauty.
Inner beauty defines who you are; it defines your character. Outer beauty
determines what you look like and who you are attracted to. However, it does
not affect your personality. Inner beauty is what radiates from you. Inner
beauty is about the message you convey to people. One can be good-looking on
the outside but as ugly as heck on the inside. Still, men are proud to have a
pretty woman in their arms, and women are anxious to please men. How erroneous
is our thinking? Consequently, we will learn to appreciate inner beauty when we
choose to devalue outer beauty, thus causing one to make a better choice as it
relates to dating or selecting a wife or husband.
Let the words to King Lemuel from his mother in Proverbs 31:1-9. Ladies, be verses
10-31 and a woman like unto those called to prayer for the nation in Jeremiah 9:18-20. But, gentlemen, only
settle for verses 10-31. Know this Delilah spirit will use your children as the
pons. She will use them to control you. Ladies know the Spirit of Amnon will
ignore your children. He won't be able to give them his time. It is not in him
to do so. Write the fruits of the Spirit on a sheet of paper and check off the
ones the person you are dating has. As you do this, decide which ones you will
sacrifice and which you will not.
What does this person need to feed goodness and kindness
into your life? By all means, watch the red flags. God gives you warnings, but the choice is
yours. PLEASE make the best choice before you make the covenant of
marriage. Marriage is the most critical
decision we make in our lives. We discover more of His tranquility in choosing
relationships as we pray more. Once we allow God in our choices, He can help us
make the right choices and build emotional needs and daily habits where only
healthy relationships fill our emotional needs.
This shift happens when we constantly pray. Our lives will feel more
relaxed once we start spending our days in prayer and learn to perceive things
from our Father's point of view. At the same time, interpersonal conflict will
begin to decrease so much that we reject unhealthy relationship choices before
they start. We will develop the fortitude required to distance ourselves from
those who might be the source of the conflict. Alternately, God will remove
them his way. You deserve real love, so involve God in your choice.
