Stop Dwelling On The Saints

Stop Dwelling On The Saints…

There are denominations that focus on saints: praying to saints, looking to saints, dwelling on the saints. We tend to take pride in the fact that we don’t get caught up in the saints. Are you looking at your brothers and sisters in the Lord?

The Bible says they’re saints. Sometimes believers lose sight of God because of the saints. Do you have your eyes on the saints, what they’ve done or haven’t done? Expecting from them what you should be expecting from God?

It’s no better than the people who bow down to statues. It’s time to get your eyes off of the saints, time to release and forgive. It is time to stop obsessing about other saints, trying to get your needs met from anyone other than God.

Start looking to God and receive from Him. He will provide what you need. Let the saints be saints, and let God be God. You too, are a saint. Make your focus the Lord of the saints. Trust in Him with all your heart. He will never let you down.

Let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. Hebrews 10:22-25

Ask the Lord to show you if there is a brother or sister you need to forgive or release. Then confess it to Him, let it go and pray for them to be blessed.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed
