Why God Removes PeopleSample

# Day 1: Why God Removes God has a strategic way of taking people out of your life. But why would God want to remove people? The reality is, some of your problems that you are facing are the result of the people connected to you. These are the people that God is removing. The right relationships will produce the kind of future that you envision and take you where you could never go on your own. God wants you to have connections that bless you and add to you, not ones that drain you. God will remove people from you to save you from their influence. When God is removing a person, He is oftentimes removing the demons behind that person. Sometimes deliverance comes in the form of God removing unclean spirits from inside of you and other times, deliverance is when He removes a whole person from around you so that you can walk in freedom. God has always been the kind of God that will remove people from your life so that He can take you into your destiny. Take Abraham and Lot for example. God called Abraham to leave his family and travel to a new place. Abraham brought a close relative, Lot, with him on his journey. They were in relationship, but the existence of this connection began to negatively impact Abraham. Lot’s cattle and herd were eating more than their fair share, and it began to take too much bandwidth to have Lot around. When you have WIFI routers in your house, they can only support so many devices until all the bandwidth is eaten up and the connection begins to run slow. Consequently, the only way to remedy this is to disconnect some devices to free up bandwidth. The same is true with your mind. Your mind and emotions can only handle so much; if you have too many connected to you, it will begin to slow you down. Some of the fatigue that you have been experiencing could be second-hand demonic attacks because you are connected to people, and their drama has become your drama. So, God is getting ready to disconnect. Abraham told Lot, “We are close relatives, let’s not fight.” And they parted ways. This healthy separation is the exact thing that God is doing in your life. Reflect: As you read today's devotion, what stood out to you? Did God highlight a particular person or situation to you? Document what He revealed to you and believe it. Don't second-guess it or logic your way out of it. Simply yield to the work that God wants to complete in this area of your life.
