The Tribune

By Kevin Ewing

DO YOU find yourself experiencing the same old problem time and time again? What about having to face a certain disliked situation that seems as if it will never go away?

Well, my friend, like with anything else in life if you refuse to remove the root then the truth is you should be in expectation of experiencing the same thing over and over again.

If you are not dealing with the root of your problem, then it’s like cutting the leaves and branches off of a tree and expecting that tree to die.

I want to say to someone this morning who is just tired of going through the motions, rather than addressing the leaves and branches of your problem, which would be people, places and things (things that are physical), why not address your situations from an entirely different perspective and that is from its root which will always be spiritual.

If your friend is a liar, then your friend would be considered a leaf or branch of the problem. The root would be a lying spirit that is influencing your friend to constantly lie.

The bottom line here is, scripture says that every seed produces after its kind. If you want to know what kind you’re dealing with then observe its behaviour. Its behaviour will reveal the spirit that is operating behind that person, place or thing.

Father we pray that you would expose the root of our problems in this day and in days to come, so that we will be able to sever the root in an effort that everything else concerning our situations will die also, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen!
