MYSTERIOUS POWER OF WEAKNESSES
Many lives are not cooperating with the promises on the bible. The many words of protection, provision, favour, blessing of the bible is not seen in our lives ! what is the reason for this? It is our Weaknesses.
"He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes; Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm." {Ps 105:14-15}
The reason this verse will not work in anyone’s life is weakness.
For the enemy to come against anyone and succeed there must be a ladder.
Other names for ladder includes Doorway, Point of Contact, Access Point, Open Door, Entry Point, Gateway, Passage and Foothold.
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:" {1 Peter 5:8}
The devil cannot devour everybody, he needs to walk about to see any qualified candidate for devouring.
The secret of fruitless deliverance and afflictions are ladders.
There are 14 major ladders, they are;
1. Inherited ladder; this happens when parents commit sin and their children get the punishment.
2. Sin; this has always been a ladder and will always be.
3. Attitude; either positive or negative, it can be a ladder.
4. Relationships; a negative relationship is surely a ladder.
5. Environment
6. Property; if you are in possession of a stolen or bewitched property, this could be a ladder.
7. Certain thought pattern.
8. Some manner of speech
9. Food; this started the problem of man through the mouth gate
10. Your Ornaments
11. A form of garment
12. Lust; James 1 vs 13-15, this is the black blood in the vein, evil feelings in emotion, strange fire burning in you, electric current of sin passing through you, power neutralizer.
Once there is lust, the person is finished.
13. An habitation.
14. Your weakness; this is the major ladder with the smoothest route.
What is a Weakness ?
v A weakness is an area where you lack strength.
v An area where you easily get overcome.
v Your weakness is where you are feeble, deficient and soft.
v You weakness is a place where you lack moral, mental force and resistance.
v Your growth and progress begins when you can point out your weakness and deal with them.
It is foolish pride to deny, defend, excuse and pamper your weakness.
Failure to recognize your weakness and deal with them gives the enemies entrance into the door of your life.
Anything can serve as a ladder for the enemies.
Impatience, Jewelries, Hair attachments, Disobedience and many more are all forms of ladders.
They are all vanity upon vanity, all is vanity.
