Quote from the audio message, "Repentance."
Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: and see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. - Psalm 139:23-24 (KJV)
David wasn’t concerned about enemies of God outside. David was concerned about enemies of God inside his own heart and life. And he said, “God, if there are any enemies of Yours in me, they’re my enemies too. I hate them, I don’t want them. I won’t compromise withthem. I won’t make peace with them. I’ll not tolerate them.” So many times I’ve told people, “If you’re prepared to tolerate the devil, you’ll have to tolerate him! As long as you’ll tolerate him, he’ll stay. If you hate him, he’ll go!”
A young man came to me once, and said, “Brother Prince, I think I have a demon of lust. But,” he said, “I rather enjoy it. Do you think God will deliver me?” Well, definitely not, as long as you enjoy it you can keep it! God won’t deliver you from your friends. God will deliver you from your enemies. So if there’s an enemy in your life, make God’s enemy your enemy and God will come to your help.
