Dominating The Path Designed To Destroy You
Psalms 101 NLT
I will sing of your love and justice, Lord. I will praise you with songs. 2 I will be careful to live a blameless life— when will you come to help me? I will lead a life of integrity in my own home. 3 I will refuse to look at anything vile and vulgar. I hate all who deal crookedly; I will have nothing to do with them. 4 I will reject perverse ideas and stay away from every evil. 5 I will not tolerate people who slander their neighbors. I will not endure conceit and pride.
6 I will search for faithful people to be my companions. Only those who are above reproach will be allowed to serve me. 7 I will not allow deceivers to serve in my house, and liars will not stay in my presence. 8 My daily task will be to ferret out the wicked and free the city of the Lord from their grip. You must surround yourself with faithful people. A faithful few will always bring more value to your life than a lying legion. You must not hire/ run with those who lower the bar of integrity. it's prudent to have people who live a life above reproach.You must not tolerate lying.
A culture of lying does a sinful lifestyle of sinful choices which must be covered up with lies. The snowball effect of sin can begin with a single off day.
You have to be Intentional about this daily protect what God has entrusted you to be.
Lord please don't take your holy spirit away from me punish me deal with me but whatever you do please don't take your holy spirit away from me okay you and I need to remember the more we desire to experience God's presence the more we must be militant about doing things God's way otherwise we're always just one step away from the path of compromise.
Prayer:
I want to pray over you especially those of you who are on the path and I'm not going to presume to know where on the path of compromise you are but I just have a really strong burden to pray for anybody on the path and anybody whose foot is hovering above the path about to step onto it for the first time let's pray Holy Spirit we are desperate for your help and we all need it we are sinners in need of a savior we acknowledge our wrongdoing we acknowledge acknowledge our proclivity to do that which is not right we acknowledge our desperate need for you oh God lord I pray for any and every person who is on the path of compromise right now God I pray a dangerous prayer would you scare them if need be if things have gotten so far down the path would you scare them before they go any further would you instill in them a healthy Godly scriptural fear of the Lord and fear of consequence how this will affect their marriage how this will affect their children how this will affect their Church how this will affect their business God would you scare us if you must with the consequences from our choices to compromise don't let us go any further oh God Holy Spirit would you visit my brothers and sisters arrest them stop them before it goes any further and for those who are just in a rough spot and it's it's a stressful season and and they're just they're just carrying so much weight God please would you not allow them to use that as reasoning for setting foot on the path of compromise God may your people be a people whose lives bring you more Glory not more mocker. God make my life a life which brings you more Glory not more mockery and we are all one step away from a fall God thank you for your mercy and your grace for those who have fallen who desire never to fall again who are seeking to live on their faces before you for the rest of their lives God would you remind them that you've removed their sin as far as the East is from the west and would you remind them that living a life of repentance moves further and further and further away from those wrong choices so long ago thank you God for your forgiveness forgiving us what we don't deserve and not giving us what we do deserve we want to bring you more Glory we want to lift you up God please help us not to fall may we never set foot or even get near the path of compromise in Jesus name amen amen I
Even if you've slipped your way down the path of compromise you have today, I believe that's what King David would say to you : you have today, do it differently today and then again tomorrow if God gives you a tomorrow and keep going further and further and further away from that wrongdoing on that path of compromise which cost you so much.
