Spiritual Collision: have you been rehabilitated?


Car collisions occur everyday. Once a collision happens it is recommended that you see a physician immediately. The consequences of not seeing a physician can lead to long term damage/consequences in your body. Many times after a car collision people may not feel any pain or discomfort right away. When we begin to look at this same concept from a spiritual perspective, it is very imperative that we understand the ramifications of spiritual warfare. Many people have been in spiritual collisions with "sin" in which their faith, anointing, praise, worship, or testimony were destroyed in the collision. There are many things in the spirit realm that we must seek to avoid, just like when driving a vehicle there are certain things that we must avoid in order to prevent an accident/collision from occurring. Many individuals have encountered "sin" in the spirit realm whether it was knowingly or unknowingly, and have not been rehabilitated from that spiritual collision with sin. An encounter with sin can have a devastating effect on one's spiritual walk. They may feel that they are okay after the encounter, but the truth of the matter is that the Bible states in Romans 6:23 that "the wages of sin is death". Just because you feel that you survived an encounter with sin does not mean that you have been cleared by the physician whose name is Jesus. Have you seen this physician called Jesus ever since your spiritual collision occurred? There is a Biblical prescription on how to deal with the effects of sin and "repentance" is one of the ingredients in the prescription. I just want to encourage you to examine yourself so that you can walk in the fullness of your destiny.
