Isaiah 28:6 Turning back the battle at the gate.
Gatekeepers are spiritual and physical beings at the gates of a beginning or ending of a season, main function is to prevent or let you in. There are good gatekeepers physical and spiritual ones as well. I am speaking here though on the negative side to bring awareness to us all and how we can prevent some of the bad things that happens to us.
They enter into our life for a season and a specific reason they are on an assignment. They bring distraction, destruction and hindrance. They take on many forms such as character and personality in people. Situation and circumstance in our life. These things are serious especially the physical ones for you can rebuke spiritual things, but physical ones oh my. However GATEKEEPERS SPIRITUAL ONES DON'T STICK AROUND FOREVER THEY LEAVE AFTER THEY HAVE ACCOMPLISH OR FAIL THEIR TASK. Now the physical ones can stay around as long as you allow them too, they are the people that always drain you, and have negative vibes. You trying to live up they keeping you down. You dream out loud they shut you up and so-on. The gatekeepers come around to prevent you from entering your season or leaving one. Now we know that in the name of Jesus demons flees and if we resist the devil he will flee and He Jesus has given us the power to thread upon serpents and scorpions.
So how do you deal with a physical gatekeeper, they are the people in our life, environment breathing space etc, now you can try to tell them their way of thinking is wrong their attitude need to be adjusted, however if they don't listen and you stay in that you will eventually be affected by them more so on the negative side.
That is why Exodus 23:32-33 God was telling the children of Israel not to entangle themselves with the inhabitants of the land next to them. Look at at this way, these people have their way set in them and some are just that way I suppose. But they can become a snare to you especially if you consider them to be close, your entourage people, always in your ear they have more influence on you, than you have on them.
Does it mean that you are weak, no and yes, it means that while they are feeding you on the negative side you will get weak and your spirit man can become dormant.
Having spirit filled balance friends mentor in your life lifting you up teaching you the word and you doing the same thing spending time with God allowing the Holy Spirit to teach you you will be good.
Your strong when you have backup, other friends in church your community that is God minded and have the same spiritual beliefs as you, they don't drain you but lifts you up and you do like wise, for we are the ones that need to also be out there witnessing with our lives in our actions, speaking etc.
Know that it is the Holy spirit that draws (John 16:7-11) them, we just have to do and live right and be obedient. Now if these people refuse to turn from their negative ways after you have spoken to them you have to be strong and move on.
We live in a world where almost everything is consume by the enemy, you turn on the television on most channels even the animated ones the enemy has his influence on them. 2 Corinthians 4:4 prince of this world.
Am not saying you have to cut off your friends but let the Lord lead you for he will direct your path if you trust him. Proverbs 4:25-26
There are a lot of good people but are they God people. Not every person can go where God wants to take you, and if you don't recognized that you might just miss it, as well God will allow some things to stir up to get you to shift and most times that is what he has to do, just to get us in the place of preparation, for not just his blessing but the work he has for us to do.
He loves us so much he will allow those things to happen to get our attention.
Isaiah 28:6 Turning back the battle at the gate.
