AN ENEMY HAS DONE THIS

As I prepared for the Conference I attended this weekend (it was definitely worth all that was invested in it and MORE), I heard the Lord leading me to read the story of the wheat and the tares. The word I heard then was "Let the tares and the wheat grow together till harvest time". I quickly searched Bible Gateway for the passage in Matthew. As I read this, I paused at "An enemy has done this".
As we travelled to the venue of the conference, I shared the story of when I was struck with a strange illness with the sisters travelling with me. I was going to respond to the illness physically but as I was about to use the antibiotics I had bought to treat the strange sore on my leg, I heard clearly in my spirit that if I took that drug, that was it...It would have been my point of no return. I believe in harnessing all that medical science has to offer; I also believe in addressing the spiritual root of every ailment. I had to engage in spiritual warfare to get out of that situation I was in.
As I was at the Conference, Dr Omobola Jeffreys also made reference to the same passage while she was teaching about drawing from the wells of salvation.
As I spoke with the mum of the autistic child I had the priviledge of watching, I also found myself AT SOME POINT saying "An enemy has done this".
Some of the challenges some are dealing with have lingered because we have been applying ONLY physical measures to issues that have spiritual roots. Will you take time out today to trace the spiritual root of the issue?
I'll share along these lines in the course of the week.
Have a blessed and productive day.
