The higher you go, the farther the fall...the greater the damage.
You are a sturdy oak, and many lean upon
your
strength. It's a hard thing being king. And, there are a lot of forces
out there aiming to see you fall. Whether it's your position, your
money, your fame or your even spouse that they want, the temptations
are
numerous.
You may be familiar with King
David's affair with Bathsheeba and how David ended up murdering her
husband after she got pregnant. That is quite a cover up. Today, we see
very similar stories where leaders fall from great heights. Restoration
can be quite a challenge, if it comes at all. Entire communities can be
affected, and the shrapnel goes far.
But, it doesn't have to.
1 Peter 5:8
| Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour
|
We
have a great enemy who does not want us to come into the fullness of
God's purpose for our lives. Therefore, we are in a continual battle to
remain pure and on mission. The world desires otherwise.
If you honestly examined your heart, thoughts and actions today, what would be exposed?
Does this question make you uncomfortable? You are not alone. But, you can feel alone.
The
predator seeks to separate his prey because its easier to hunt and kill
an isolated victim - especially in the dark. So, you get inundated with
thoughts that you are all alone and if anyone were to find out, you
would be destroyed. Many people live in the dark, and it puts them in
chains. |

Power's Exposure
The Apostle John talked about the big three areas where kings are most likely to be influence by the world and fall from glory:
| 1 John 2:15-16
15
Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world.

| The three big areas of temptation. All leaders face these. You need to make certain that you stay
pure in your heart, or you will be taken out. This requires
transparency and humility. Those are your keys. If you do not have
accountability in your life, you are in the bull's eye.
Let elevate29 help you avoid the great fall that so many leaders have experienced. It can be prevented. If you have tripped, we can help you in the restoration process, even with your enemies.

Did you know?
As of 2003, 43.7% of custodial mothers and 56.2% of custodial fathers were either separated or divorced. And in 2002, 7.8 million Americans paid about $40 billion in child and or/spousal support (84% of the payers were male).
It is most likely that you will face
temptation in one of these areas. Sex, money and ego certainly provide
a big playground for the giants to be toppled in. Appetites can be big
deals to contend with. Let us help you overcome.

we help expose the enemy in the king's lives and deal with him in a
