"And from
the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence,
and the violent take it by force" – Matthew 11:12
If we
look back, we will see that in order to receive the kingdom of heaven, (health,
prosperity, family, relationships, salvation, etc.), it had to be done
aggressively.
Here are
a few examples of where 'violent faith' was used both in a negative and
positive way:
• Lucifer
had no mercy when influencing one third of the angels of heaven to rebel
against God. Those fallen angels are demons today.
•
Saul
ordered Stephen to be stoned to death because of his 'no nonsense' preaching.
•
Elijah,
the only living prophet of the Lord, put his life on the line facing all 450
prophets of baal. They were all executed.
•
David
faced Goliath who defied the armies of the Living God. Goliath's head was cut
off.
•
Jesus
went down to hell to take back the keys that satan had in his possession for so
long.
And the
same principle still applies today. Not physically, of course! But in order to
receive and hold on to all the blessings of God, you MUST use all the force you have—VIOLENTLY.
Doesn't this go against Bible teachings?
No it
doesn't! Here are some examples of how
you can be 'violent' against negativity in your love life. You must be violent:
•
To
resist and rebuke the tempting thoughts to watch pornography or anything else
not fitting to watch.
•
To
get rid of the grudges held against
those who hurt or abused you in the past.
•
To
say "No" to your own sexual desires when your ex-partner, or
that person you are dating, seeming to be the right one for you, says or
insinuates to sleep with them as you'll both be together anyway.
•
To
reject those negative comments sown
in your mind by people who only want you to remain single.
Notice
that prayer alone, or being soft with these problems will not solve them. You
need to be brutal, aggressive, rough, tough with yourself and firm with others
around you, otherwise the thoughts, feelings or comments will only be a step
closer to your fall.
By doing
this, you are protecting yourself from YOURSELF—the
deceit of your heart.
Don't let
the devil steal from you your right to the kingdom of heaven.
Use the force!
