Attachments Vs. Assignments
14 And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:
15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
16 And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.
17 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.
18 Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the LORD.
One of the hardest things a young man will experience in life is when his childhood friend reaches the expiration date in there life.
If Your wise, and you learn early how to detach from people who have expired in your life before the relationship begins to Stink, Rot or just makes you Physically sick it will be much easier as you get older to Know when its over. (Do you no When It’s time to end a bromance)
Now please don’t get me wrong there a life long friends & family. And then there are those that ain’t.
If your wise you will discern by the will of God, who you are assigned too and who is just attached to you.
Satan understands this principle and very early in our life he will attach someone in our life we think is an assignment.
This person will eventually suggest perverted, evil Ideas.
As I am talking right Now someone just caught the revelation of an attachment you still have in your life.
Attachments produce cycles of dysfunction.
attachments hinder your effectiveness in the Kingdom/ Tell Somebody thats why association breeds assimilation
If he’s a ho you become a ho , if he broke you become broke , he divorced 4 times guess what it’s a cycle of dysfunction.
Mother Yvonne Middleton told me you can always tell who you are by the company you keep.
Right after i burried my dad at 19 years old, enter the dragon..
He was the smoothest Dude, Clean cut, haircut every 3 days, manicured hands, diamond pinky ring, nice watch and italian and german auto-mobiles. ( I was like sign me up bro )
That relationship almost cost my life, my freedom and i still carry the scar of the people that who where effected by this dysfunctional attachment
I got out of it, and turned around and went back to the attachment this time I believe God was so sick of my stupidity He had him get caught out in a scheme i wasn’t involved in and was sent away for long time.
1 NOW [in Haran] the Lord said to Abram, Go for yourself [for your own advantage] away from your country, from your relatives and your father’s house, to the land that I will show you.
He had One directive leave everything and follow me.
He Took Lot With Him
Because it was an attachment it caused Conflict!
5 And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
6 And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.
7 And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram’s cattle and the herdmen of Lot’s cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land.
Strife: Angry or bitter disagreement
Point: Attachments produce cycles of dysfunction.
1st Phase Of the cycle:
The had gotten so big they couldn’t dwell together
Abraham Suggest maybe its time we go our separate ways
Lot Choose to Live near plush, pretty, flourishing Profanity, Adultery, Fornication & Sodomy.
2nd Phase of the cycle:
Lots territory was invaded and Abraham Had to rescue him
There is no documentation of Lot’s appreciation to being rescued by Abraham (because attachments feel you out to help them.)
3rd phase of the cycle:
Abraham intercedes for Lots deliverance from Sodom
Lot is spared, his wife dies due to disobedience and his daughter’s establish another perverse sexual act by sleeping with there father
4th Cycle
Lots sons Ammonite’s or Moabite’s hired against Abraham’s descendant Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse them. Dt 23:4.
I think this is the best time to tell, You God Specializes in breaking dysfunctional Cycles
5 Nevertheless the LORD thy God would not hearken unto Balaam; but the LORD thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because the LORD thy God loved thee.
This is all connected to what God Promised Abraham: Let’s call it the cycle of blessings. Every time I turn around The Lord Keeps blessing me..
14 And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:
15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
16 And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.
17 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.
18 Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the LORD.
