Notice of Eviction: When Some People Can No Longer Live in Your Space

In life we get connected into some friendships and relationships that are wonderful and blissful a first, but over the course of time, things begin to change and we begin to ask ourselves "How did I get into this?" For those of us who seek a way to cope or release ourselves from these connections, the following maybe able to assist you.

The Intent of Their Friendship Begin to Surface. Friends come into your life for a reason, season and a lifetime. Reasons that may be unknown to you; to get close to you, to work with you, to collaborate, to shop, etc. but once the the intent proves to have negative drivers behind it - UNLOCK the doors and let that passenger out. Seasons can be 6 months or 6 years, but the seasonal person can only keep you in that season and become ineffective afterward -- you don't wear Summer clothes in the Winter, because it CAN'T KEEP YOU! Lifetime friends can also require you to serve Temporary Displacement Notices. Not an eviction, but sometimes you just require a level of separation along with maintaining that friendship.

When You Begin to Feel Stagnant or Unmoved Amos 3:3 (KJV) They aren't going in the same direction you are and the connection we have to them keeps us in one place. Unless they agree with the direction you are going and/or are going in the same direction, they are hindering you!

Spiritual Elevation/Charge Being called in different areas of ministry (armor bearer, diaconate, five-fold gifts). Sometimes to access certain arenas and blessings of God, we have to separate ourselves from the very ones that might have carried us there. When Abraham went to sacrifice Isaac, upon arriving at Mt. Moriah (the place of provision), he told the men that helped carry him there to wait until he came back from making the sacrifice. Although, they helped carry him to the place of provision, Abraham had to go alone to fulfill the instructions God had given. Easier said that done - I know - but do it quickly, the longer you wait, the harder it'll be.

Life is Placed in Harm's Way A true friend would sacrifice their own life before your's. So if your "friend" has placed you in harm of being arrested/incarcerated, loosing family or livelihood be it with a lie, a rumor, physical altercation or action -- their lease needs to be pulled and terminated without no early termination fee, this one is on the house.

A friend is one who sticks closer than a brother. Be careful with how loosely and frivilously you give someone this endearing title; incorrect labeling could cost more in the end, ask someone who's had a case os stolen identity. Count up the cost and serve them their bill!

Keep It Saved!
