Use the force

"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!
