Maureen Y. Smith - Conquering the Seeds of Destruction

As you seek the voice of the Holy Spirit, He will begin to work on things that are in your life that keep you from living a life of abundance with Him. One of the main characteristics of Him is that He operates in love on a consistent and daily basis. Although you may have hurt feelings or your emotions keep you in a bitter or hateful demeanor, the Holy Spirit can work in you (if you allow Him) and soften and heal the pain that you feel. When you develop the Fruit of Love, you will not only be obedient to what He wants, but you will see that you spent too much time in negativity.

In today's podcast, you will begin to hear the importance of connecting with the Holy Spirit. God speaks to you through the Holy Spirit and you must be open to hearing His voice. He is there with you and He wants to help you in everything that you experience on earth. Regardless of what you have gone through thus far, God is still there and will continue to be there if you allow Him into your mind and your heart. It will be up to you to make a conscious choice to develop a personal relationship with Him. God is there with open arms ready to welcome you in.

As you listen to today's podcast, you will hear how to apply some of the things that you have learned in Chapter 12. If the lines of communication don't remain open as well as people choosing not to be accountable or responsible for their actions, then the struggles become harder to overcome but not impossible. God is Love and He wants you to come to Him sooner than later so that you can avoid the enemy's tricks of deception. Whether you are young or old, allow God to guide you so that you can give love and receive love in a way that is pleasing in his eyesight.

In today's podcast, you will hear a more indepth conversation of how the husband and the wife may have challenges due to past experiences, upbringings, and environments. Because of this, it becomes important for communication to be strong between the two of them and love being displayed. The Seed of Love may need to be shown consistently so that they are willing to be open in their communication. By doing this, each person will see the hand of God working in the relationship.

As you listen to Part 2 of God's Seed of Survival - The Seed of Love, you will hear different scenarios and how they may cause people to react in a certain way. What keeps people divided? Why do people react negatively instead of positively in a situation? Why do people choose to hate instead of choosing to love? Why do you think that you should give into your physical desires with another person when God has already blessed you with a spouse to love? Trust in God and who He has given you to love. 

In today's podcast, you will hear God's Seed of Survival, The Seed of Love, that will uproot all of the destructive seed and roots that are planted into you from the Seed of Lust. As you listen, you will hear the importance of operating in love and allowing God's love to reign into your heart in a way that is pleasing to Him. Although you may want to express love in a physical way, God wants you to be guided by Him to do things in a way that you are staying true to your spiritual connection to Him. Allow His Love to teach you how to express love to others.

As you listen to the final destructive root from the Seed of Lust that can be planted into you by the enemy, I pray that you are learning and growing from his destructive patterns that can tempt you with your desires. Although it may seem harmless in the beginning, his goal is never to be harmless. His goal is to cause as much turmoil in your life, especially with your spouse. He knows that by doing this, it breaks the covenant that was built by God. I pray that you will always seek God and allow Him to be the guidance and stability that you need to keep the peace within your relationships.

In today's podcast, I will continue to share how the adversary can plant another new root into you if you choose to listen to him and that new root is the Root of Prostitution. Within this root, you will hear the parallel stories of how Gomer dealt with Hosea and how Israel dealt with God in their disobedience to each one. This root deals with one's own selfishness. You can also see the extended bodily harm that can happen within this root with STDs that can form. It becomes necessary to listen to God at all times to avoid the sexual temptations and desires that can cause destruction.

This additional root that comes from the Root of Non-Consensual Fornication can be a very difficult and complex root to handle. Within this root, the adversary twists things around causing either you to have sexual desires towards a family member or a relative has forced their desires upon you. Either way, it is not what God wants for your life. You must find a way to stop this behavior. It will take counseling from God and from an experienced professional to help you break-free from these thoughts and desires. You must take the first step to make the change. Will you do it?

As you listen to today's podcast, you will hear how another root from the Root of Non-Consensual Fornication can be formed inside of you. This particular root can have a stronghold on you that will be difficult to uproot. The root of molestation can be formed from other people's physical aggressions upon you, whether they are close to you or distant. Depending on what they also feed into your mind, it can be very hard to overcome from, but not impossible. Please allow yourself to open up to God and allow Him to help you and heal you from the deepest parts of your pain.
