Shepherded Towards Dealing with Hard to Handle Spiritual "Things."

 The Question:  To successful deal with hard to handle spiritual things.....where may someone need to be at in their walk with God?  

Given it is in God's plan for someone to deal with spiritual things, he may shepherd someone towards that.  Someone may ask.  There may be price to pay.  

The Eye of the Needle -  

Joseph and Daniel both went through the Eye of the Needle. Joseph was loved.  He may had a favorite meal his mom made him.  He enjoyed herding his father's animals, and hanging near the fire with his brothers.  He had a coat of many colors.  Suddenly, he was a slave, and he lost everything.  He may never get to see mom and dad again, or taste mom's special holiday lamb roast.  He had to hold Tight to God.  

What does someone love more than God?  A lot of people are safe and comfortable in their routine.  They liked watching their show at 8:00 pm on Tuesdays, and have their breakfast at 7:00 am.  Would they sacrifice their routines?  Does someone have a lot of junk in their garage?  Do they love their junk more than God?  Your cellphone?  Your car?  What do you love more than God?  Going through the Eye of the Needle, someone doesn't necessarily have to be poor or take a vow of poverty.   They may need to rid themselves of excess towards only what they need.  They are built back up in God's way.  Joseph and Daniel became two of the most powerful men in the world in their respective times.  They were built up by God.  

Dealing with Spiritual Things -  

Growing in faith with God, someone needs to go through the Eye of the Needle.  Did you make it that far?  They may be set up for success wherever God needs them.  Hard to deal with Spiritual things may be being in direct confrontation with Satan, and Satanic Entities, like Satanic Cults.  Evangelizing pagan Rome is different than dealing with fallen Christianity.  There have been people who knew of God, and chose other.  Knowing of God, there may have been some knowledge of the spiritual and God's inner workings a cult was exploiting.  To deal with these things successfully....someone has to be Harder.  

Did someone feel pride in being White, Black, Asian?  Scottish, Greek, Chinese, Japanese?  Someone has to let go of that.  Some people they were passive aggressive egotistical, where they learned to hate themselves, and where they came from.  That is also prideful and bad.  You can't be that either.  Someone has to let go, and not care, in understanding of being for God, and God's Kingdom.  

What do you WANT?  A Satanic entity, like a cult, they may offer you  money or jobs, vacations, views on the internet, a car.  They may offer you hidden knowledge.  What do you want?  Given The Lord is your shepherd, you shall not WANT.  (Psalms 23) God provides.  

Do you feel attached to your parents?  Family? Friends?  Those are things someone may use against you.  Someone needs to let go.  A man holds tight to God.  

Did someone not confess their sins?  Given someone has skeletons in their closet, assume someone will find out, and try to use those skeletons as blackmail.  Confess your sins.  

Dealing with certain Spiritual Things, someone needs to be harder.  Given it is in God's plan for someone, he may shepherd someone there.  There are "States of the Soul" someone may need to gain.
