RUN!!! For a while i've been trying to understand the concept of flee all apperance of evil. I've never really sat down to consider it and i asked God to explain it to me. Now i've never really sat to listen to God or learn from little things around me, i keep expecting God to show me a large scary picture in a dream or something like that and until now i never understood the scripture. I remember something my pastor once said, he said we christians like difficult things, we don't like simple prayer we want 40 days and 40 night fasting and prayer, the prayer of your pastor over the phone is not enough we want the laying on of hands, we're not even enought with laying on of hands we want annointing oil, we don't even mind pastors lying down on us in the name of deliverance, we don't even mind fake so long a there's "miracle" to show for it, its so amazing how we pursue hard things when simple things produce same results. May God help us o! Back to the matter o, what does it mean to run and why is it that we don't run always? I have been so spiritual about this issue expecting a deeper meanin but here is what i found, to run as its written in the bible is the same as the actual meaning of 'run' that is- to move away with speed, now why don't we run? The answer is simple in real life it take more effort to run than to sit in a place, so applying it to the issue at hand its easier to just sit and look or fall for evil than to run from it and as humans we're always looking for the easiest way out hence we never get to run. The second issue "apperances of evil" reading that part i realised that a lot of things in their actual sense may not be wrong but could lead one to evil for instance, while people kissing in a movie may not be a sin(i'm not sure of that tho) it may be just what would set a struggling porn addict off, while, watching a movie and seeing people smoking and drinking and being glad may not be a sin it could be what would set an alchol addict off. Here's the drill an apperance of evil may not be same for everyone know what yours is and work to flee and pray for grace to flee, and when your find yourself in compromising situations don't sit there thinking an angel from heaven will run dow and tell you to flee(you'll wait ehn!) no follow your instinct and run as fast and as far as you can. However before you can flee you need to sat boundaries(i'll be writing on boundaries tomorrow) Have a fulfulied monday and remember to RUN! Today, in the office, in class, at the mall, in the cinema, even in the midst of friends. Always have your RUN button on and press it once the situation calls for it.
