In this time we live in, people are suffering from an attack of the spirit of forgetfulness that must be arrested, and dealt with because it handicaps your faith, your family, your future, your finances, and faithfulness. The definition of forgetfulness I shared with you in the context of what Moses is saying to the people was...
Definition: Forgetfulness – Is not the loss of memory of events or people but the loss of important valued meaning and significance of events that leads to disrespect, ingratitude and abandonment.
I shared seven things with you last week that are reasons for this spirit of forgetfulness manifesting in the heart of a person.
1. Forgetfulness due to Past Deliverance – Deuteronomy 6:12
2. Forgetfulness due to Persuasions of Society – Jeremiah 13:25
3. Forgetfulness due to Pleasure Seeking – Hosea 2:13
4. Forgetfulness due to Prosperous Seasons – Hosea 13:4-6
5. Forgetfulness due to being full of Pride– Deuteronomy 8:16-17
6. Forgetfulness due to Personal Offense- Luke 7:18-23
7. Forgetfulness due to Prolonged Trials and Tests
As we move forward we will examine the pitfalls or red flags to forgetfulness and the devastating consequences of forgetting God.
Beware That You Do Not Forget God Pt1
Bishop Calvin Hooper • Deuteronomy 8:11–18
This series will affect the building of relationships within the Kingdom of God. It’s about maximizing and protecting valued relationships. Therefore, it’s a marriage series, it’s a parenting series, it’s a family series, and it’s a commitment series. Our relationship with others sets the barometer for our relationship with God. The church is facing a time of change like never before and churches standing on and anchored to the word of God are beginning to slip under the barrage of worldly philosophies and attitudes. As a result, the life we should be living in Christ is being forfeited for a substitute life because many have stopped short of God's plans. The tragedy is there is a slow, almost unnoticeable erosion of values.
This spirit of forgetfulness comes upon people not because they lack memory, but because they have a lack of meaning and value of past events in their life that they know could not have worked out unless the Lord intervened.
