One of the strongest tools of Satan against the believer is shame.
So many believers would have since gained victory over certain weakness, decline and decadence in faith, if they became bold enough to look beyond the shame.
Because certain people already know you by a religiois cliche, status or title; You find it difficult to CRY OUT when it is obvious that you are decaying spiritually.
I understand that it is not easy to own up, especially in this kind of dispensation where discussed matters can become a gossip topic. However, for the believer who is intentional, you will look beyond the shame just so that you find your feet again in CHRIST.
Believers are ladened with several manifestation of the works of the flesh. Lies, lust, bitterness, hatred, envy, malice, and so many nature of darkness has filled the heart of many tongue speaking believers.
And the only reason why they are still held down by those manifestations of the flesh is because they are ashamed of what it will look like, if they (who are regarded as spiritual) are the same crying out on matters relating to darkness.
Maybe you should know that, darkness is not afraid of any man. After 40 days of intense retreat, the first person who appeared toJESUS was the devil. And the devil did not appear afraid when he acousted JESUS.
Darkness will always try you from time to time. So the moment you observe that you are beginning to dance to the tune of darkness, and you have probably done all that you know and things do not change, CRY OUT UNASHAMEDLY.
If after reading through this post, you know that you are still struggling with the works of darkness, please look beyond the shame. CRY OUT UNASHAMEDLY.
