NWR: Clearing the demons out of my life

Kind of a repost from my FB page.

Ladies God is really working on me to clean out all the negative people in my life. People who do not support me or my relationship with my FI. It is so hard to cut ties with people who you thought were close friends or even family but I know it is nessecary. I thank God for beginning to fill my life with people who speak life such as you ladies. Thank you for being a blessing in my life.  Here is what is reading as my FB status right now.  

I have come to realize that the mask is too heavy to wear and the cost is too great. It's time to be true to self and the path He has called me to. I have to love me regardless of if you do or not. Even though you see the worse in me God sees the best in me. He held up a mirror this morning to show me I am His and He is mine. I now get it with an understanding that I have never had before tha...t we truly do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities and hosts of wickedness. So Satan I serve you notice if you come at me in whatever form you may choose family, friend, or enemy. I will call your demons out and bind them with the authority that was given to me by Jesus Christ. If you want to delete me please feel free. Will it sting a little maybe but God will fill any void. I need people in my life who are going to speak life and power into it instead of death and destruction. #AllIneedisJesus

So as you can see I need prayer and support as God begins the process of cutting away the people in my life who HE sees fit to.  I have surrendered to His will because in all reality it is all that I can do.  I know in my head that this is what is best for me and even for my marriage but my heart is hurting.  Pruning is never fun for the tree even though it is nessecary.  So I ask that you keep me in prayer.  Again ladies I thank you for the support and life you speak to me everyday though your post.  (((HUGS))))

    I love this, and this spoke to me in such a direct way!  I was meant to read this message today.  I will be praying for your strength as you go through this, but just know that you are already victorious.  You will come out a lot stronger.  Thank you again for sharing because this truly gave me something to think about.

    And good for you! I am very proud of you. It is difficult to take a stand and say enough is enough. Cutting family ties is the worst because we are "supposed" to have unconditional love for one another.

    I made that stand long ago and I will tell you from experience it is hard to stay strong. Right when you think these people have changed for the better, you give them another try they show you the evil within AGAIN.

    The enemy hates marriage because it is a sacred union that God blesses. Keep this in mind and remember there is nothing wrong with loving from a far.

    It is wonderful that you can be transparent enough with yourself to yield to God and whatever He sees fit! Amen Sistahgurl!. My Pastor talked about pruning on sunday. An everyday prayer that I pray is that God expose, reveal, and remove anyone and anything that is not of Him from my life. It's crazy how people just stop calling. Also, we know that the Devil does not like marriage, so make sure that you and your FI pray together. A family that prays together....

    Hugs,
    Morgan

    As pp stated, good for you!  Every once in a while it is good to re-evaluate those people who are in our inner circle.  And yes it is difficult at times, ultimately it is for the better.  I pray for peace of mind, the spirit of obefience, and discernment as God reveals these things to you.

    I'll be praying for you. I know it is not going to be easy to cut certain people out of your life especially the ones who you thought that was suppose to be there to support you.. But at the end of the day as long as you have God, your FI, and people that love and support you thats all that matters.. And you know we will be here !!!

    Thank you Ladies.  I appreciate you more than I could ever express. 

    My friends list is already down 1 person and I am okay with it.  It is easier when people leave rather than you have to put them out.  I am praying for clear understanding because my wedding is in Feb and I think I might have to put 2 of the BM out of the wedding.  We shall see what the Lord has to say about that.  All of the BM meet this Sunday for a little get together at my house.  I just pray that the Lord have his way and the I don't get in the way.
