Assistant : Assistant who allowed gaps…

Today I want to narrate a very serious event, and it is something that silently has been part of the life of many assistants.
But before describing the situation, I would like to make it clear that whatever we expose here, it’s done so that there is fear and trembling among us, because the work of God is very serious! And what we sometimes witness, is that over time, the tendency of many is to allow the quench to happen in their relationship with God, and that is precisely where small gaps come into existence, giving access to a great spiritual fall, thus putting salvation at risk.
For this reason is that these articles exist, so that the spiritual eyes are opened, before it’s too late.
This week I learned about a case of two assistants, close friends, that always shared their experiences with each other and with time, one of them was allowing those gaps interiorly, because of her bad eyes, her personal will, and above all because she was being overloaded with so many tasks. Her friend was helping her while she could, was listening to her outpourings and even tolerated her unjust attitude towards the work of God. What can we take out of this situation?
We have two serious points in this sad episode:
– The assistant that was carried away by her feelings;
– The assistant that was not brave to tell the truth to her friend but tolerated the situation.
What to do in this situation? You might ask…
– The correct thing would be, after helping your friend, and seeing that she was not listening, immediately take the case to the pastor responsible, so that he could act in time. Maybe you are thinking, but isn’t that being a traitor to the person who trusted in me? Of course not! That is fighting for the Work of God and for the soul of your friend, even if she does not like it.
Given this episode, what I propose is that you evaluate your procedure, because there is no point of making sacrifices to God, if you don’t have the courage to be true, to fight for the cause of the Work of God. If perhaps you know someone who is at this point, and hasn’t done anything, know that your case is even worse than hers. That is why you can’t allow this problem to drag on, take action as soon as possible.
Could it be that you understood what this article wished to convey?

Powerful, I really got myself the importance of keeping a good relationship with God so that we don’t allow the gaps and wonder why certain things are happening. Everything goes back to our relationship with God. And we should not be taken to the emotion of friendships when it comes to the work of God they cannot mix. Thanks for sharing.

I have just witnessed this just recently it is hard to talk to the pastor as you seem to be looking into people’s lives.

Thank you I have understood!! Actually both were in the flesh and had started to contaminate each other. When I read these blogs. I stop and I need to examine and evaluate my circumstances I am not here to judge but so this can actually help me.

Hello Mrs. Luisa,
I have completely understood what you wrote here. I personally had been in a situation like this recently. I might say that I had been on both sides of this situation. The problem of the first Assistant is that she had allowed the situations around her to affect her. She had not maintained her spiritual life well. And yes, it all started with her eyes. When you have evil eyes towards what is happening around you, it automatically contaminates your spiritual life. It’s like you become dirty spiritually. The rest of the situation is just a consequence. The devil is very smart. He uses our emotions to make us fall. This is what I had learnt this past days. I had been complaining about my situation, the problem I was facing. I was not taking actions of faith. Only when I cried out to God about the pain that the situation was causing me was God able to set me free. But up until then, I was looking at the situation, the problem. I did not take it to God. Evil eyes starts when your relationship with God is not feed. Usually this happens when we are busy with the things that are going on around us. As Assistants we need to be more vigilant because the devil is not wasting his time to make us fall. He is very clever and will use any means. As for the second Assistant, I guess we need to be brave enough and be a good friend. I have to be careful not to make the same mistake as hers.
