Early in the Morning after prayer I sat on the edge of my bed I looked over at my wall , right now I live in a apartment on the 1st floor and the foundation outside my window is bad, when it rains my room gets flooded, I was thinking about a leaking foundation water and floods.
I began to think about the purpose of a foundation, and how it keeps whats outside from coming in.
I began to look at this in a spiritual sense and the dangers of a leaking foundation.
I was reminded of some scriptures so I began to read Matthew 7:24-27) 24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of Mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26 And every one that heareth these sayings of Mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
After reading I began to think about Christians who I know and how some seem to have lost their fight, recently I've seen a increasing number of Christians falling away so many that are weak and weary and many who have lost faith. until this problem with the foundation of my apartment I really didn't understand what is going on with some Christians who I have witnessed endure some of the toughest storms & trials and wondering why storms that are less severe are knocking them out of the fight.
It has been revealed to me through this problem with my apartment building, that many Christians who were once strong and courageous and anchored to a secure foundation that no wind no storm could knock down, now have a leak in their foundation, and a leak will weaken the structure nature and character and stability of many Christians that don't see what is happening.
when a foundation has a leak what is outside will begin to slowly creep in unware at first. just like the problem with my apartment building no one seen that there was a problem until it grew, what may have began as a small leak traveled through the foundation and beat against the structure of the walls, and once through the wall then the problem was clearly seen to be a big mess no longer a small leak but a great flood.
through all of this the Lord allowed me to see many Christians who had a small leak in their foundation have been caught unaware by a unseen problem, and now that the leak has grown to be a flood, they are noticing but they are so overwhelmed they don't know what to do.
so the leak in the foundation turned to a flood, and also the Lord allowed me to see through this, that many Christians who once walked in the whole armour of God, now have a cracked shield. their shield of faith has cracks in it, why ? it rooted from a leak in their foundation that turned into a flood.
the structure and stability of their faith has been weakend, many things such as lonliness , fear, doubt, bitterness and jealousy have crept in, starting with a leak resulting in a flood causing cracks in their shield of faith and it has resulted in bondage, many have become so overhlmed with why they cant seem to get free. and the chain of bondage is growing links making a longer chain that has wrapped around them and wrapped around their mind causing blindness and doublemindedness which results in that person being unstable in all their ways.
And because the foundation and structure of their faith has had a leak, many things have crept in , And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
then the Lord to me to the Parable of the sower. Mark 4:14-19) 14 The sower soweth the word.
15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
17 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.
18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,
19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
