01/28/24 DIY DELIVERANCE IS DIY DESTRUCTION

The temptation is to pull a loose thread, hoping to stop the unraveling of a favorite garment. We know what happens. We have seen cartoons or comic sketches where a sleeve or an entire garment was turned into a pile of thread.

Most of us learned the futility of such an action through experience. Sometimes, the lesson was not learned until real damage was done to a special garment.

Much worse is when people try to fix a broken life or relationship by pulling the loose threads. This is seen in medical situations when folks take steps that actually exacerbate the ailment.

There are restoration steps that can be taken, whether the problem is clothing, medical, relational or spiritual.
God has provided help and healing, but people must stop taking DIY steps. The sooner a person turns to

God, the less damage will take place and the sooner restoration will take place. The longer a person puts off Divine intervention, the greater the loss will become, and irreparable damage may follow.

DIY (do it yourself) deliverance is actually DIY destruction. The destruction is not limited to the DIYer; the ruin reaches other people, starting with those who are the closest to us.
