For a voice of wailing is heard from Zion: how we are plundered! We are greatly ashamed, because we have forsaken the land, because we have been cast out of our dwellings. Jeremiah 9.19

There are people that do not have the courage to witness about their faith in Christ and what it can do to those who assume it. Many people, in the beginning of their walk with Jesus, were happy and received blessings, but now, do not have a shout of victory coming out of their lips anymore. On the contrary, they sing laments, which turn away the needy from seeking the Lord. Why should this happen to the people who should only know victory?

The Word does not fail, but people do. Many do not notice that when they stop acting according to the Word, they move away from God. Some people think that they are special, that God needs to send an angel to tell them something, and that He must do it personally. Well, everything that catches your attention in Scriptures should be like an opened door!

As you deny the Word for whatever reason, you walk away from the divine work. Then, it happens to you as Jeremiah said: you prove the work of evil until the point when you are ruined. Certainly, the devil is the one behind all the evil work in your life, but it would not have been so if you had not abandoned what was given to you. The divine revelation, no matter how small or fragile it may seem, has the power to do whatever your faith determines.

The Gospel is the Promised Land for those who are freed from the captivity of sin. In the same way, in Biblical times, Canaan was the Land of Promise for the Israelites (Ex 6.4-8). Whoever lets go of his spiritual position will be very much ashamed. Unfortunately, a great number of people have taken the wrong path, denying the Holy Spirit to command their lives and letting themselves be under the dominion of darkness. Thus, they only experience shame and frustration.

If you allow the adversary to dominate your decision-making, he will transform your godly home in a forsaken place. What will remain will only be anguish, defeat, and much suffering. But that is not why the divine light came upon you. You were called to be a blessing, a friend of God, someone who collects victory after victory. However, since you loved the curse, it has become the lord of your life.

What can you do to change this situation? Remember where you have fallen, return to the Lord, and in sincerity and faith, confess to Him your mistake. God will forgive you, and you will be able to walk victoriously with Him once again. While the sinner does not repent truly and return to the house of the Father, his life will keep being shameful. At this very moment, God is giving you the opportunity to make things right with Him, so do it!

In Christ, with love,

R. R. Soares
