Everything produces after its own kind. Speaking words with anger, they will produce anger and hatred. Speak words filled with faith and authority, and you will create something that gives life, hope and promise! What you say and speak will produce and create thought, image, miracle and atmosphere that you set... With that in mind, it is imperative that we walk in a state of being very attentive in our everyday transactions, so that we are guarded against things that would cause us to hinder prophetic operations from transpiring within and all around us.
Here is a list of common avoidances that hinder our spiritual growth and development...
*When we take our time hearing God's Spirit speak to us, we will take our time obeying what God has said and is speaking.
* When we sit back and resist relationships with people that are in Christ, we don't know Christ at all.
*When we defend the word we have prophesied.
*When we defend who we are (whether be it a prophet or a believer).
*When we never reach pass our own level.
*When we empower people out of our pride, causing the people to depend upon us and not the Holy Spirit.
*Not having, feeling, seeing, and just not knowing the Spirit of God.
*Being angry at God's people enjoying the life of sin.
*Not staying reformed by the Spirit of God (meaning, allowing rejection to stay attached to our minds).
*False imagetry of Holiness and righteous deeds.
*Not able to produce real love, being able to focus on God and His Spirit.
*Having the character of ourselves (old nature and doubtfulness) not the character of God, the anointed one Christ, and the Holy Spirit.
*Running from confrontation, and avoiding dealing with injustice.
When our prophetic gift can't change climates, seasons of spiritual attacks, times (spiritual and physical), or grow and develop churches and people. Then we must be honest within ourselves and identify that somewhere we have walked away from God's will or we never truly came into complete and full submission to the will of God. "If this is true then we must come into repentance".
As Christians and believers we are not to make sin a practice or vocation. The believer should not be a "sin practitioner" the way a doctor is a medical practitioner, or a lawyer is a legal practitioner. That is why a true believer is not a "sinner", or a practicer of sin. As Christians we are not expected to choose to sin. We should not sin by choice, or willingly commit "wilful" sin.
"For if we sin wilfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the Adversaries. Anyone who has rejected Moses' law dies without Mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the Covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing and insulted the Spirit of grace? For we know Him who said, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay", Says the Lord. And again, "The Lord will judge His people". It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God". Hebrews 10:26-31
As we walk in the light, God will show us where we have erred in various ways. Therefore we must be willing to accept responsibility for our sins and call upon the Lord for forgiveness because of the atoning sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ. We must be honest in our repentance and not superficial, for in our genuineness it will bring about a mending of the broken fellowship with both our Father and the body.
