My Labor of Love: Sometimes You Are NOT That Laborer (Part 2 of 2)

Описание: This is Part 2 of my labor of love for the lost—and it's a hard truth God taught me through tears, frustration, and finally, surrender.

Sometimes you are NOT that laborer.

Ephesians 4:14 - Every Wind of Doctrine:
"That we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting." - Ephesians 4:14 (NKJV)

In This Video:

✅ Bible Study: Every Wind of Doctrine - What it means to be tossed to and fro
✅ My Testimony of Being Tossed - How I was deceived before I matured in my faith
✅ My Testimony of Laboring for a Deceived Family Member - The heartbreak of watching someone you love reject truth
✅ The Hard Truth - Sometimes you are NOT that laborer

The Reality:
I was once tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine.

False teachings. Charismatic manipulation. Emotional experiences masquerading as God.

I believed lies because I didn't know the Word well enough to discern truth from error.

God rescued me. He matured me. He rooted me in His Word.
And then He gave me a burden for others still trapped in deception—including a family member I love deeply.

The Lesson God Taught Me:
I prayed. I labored. I interceded. I shared truth.
I believed if I just said the right thing, shared the right Scripture, prayed the right prayer—they would see.

But God showed me: Sometimes you are NOT that laborer.

1 Corinthians 3:6-7:
"I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase."

You may plant. Someone else may water. But GOD gives the increase.

And sometimes—painfully, humbly, obediently—you must step back and let God send the laborer HE has chosen for that harvest.

The Hard Truth:
Not every seed you plant will sprout in your season.
Not every person you love will receive truth from YOUR mouth.
Not every battle is YOURS to fight.
Your calling is faithfulness. God's responsibility is the harvest.

My Testimony:
I share the raw, painful journey of laboring for a deceived family member—the frustration, the tears, the "why won't they listen?!" moments—and how God gently showed me that my role was to plant and pray, not to force the harvest.

Sometimes the most loving thing you can do is step back and trust God to send the right laborer at the right time.

The Challenge:
Are you exhausting yourself trying to be THE laborer for someone who won't receive from you?

Are you trying to force a harvest that isn't yours to reap?

Are you willing to plant, water, and TRUST GOD for the increase?

Romans 10:14-15:
"How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent?"

Pray in faith. God will send the right laborer. Trust Him.
