The Remedy

We planted another vegetable garden this year.  However, it did not produce as well as we had hoped.  Our tomatoes developed bottom rot, a brown spot on the bottom of the tomato, and they had to be thrown away.  We discovered that the problem was in the soil.  Our soil lacked calcium.  We had to buy a product (a remedy) that specifically treated the tomatoe plants so they could produce healthy fruit.  So next year, when we till our garden we will need to add some fertilizer to it.

I think that is what happened to me this year.  My soil (my spirit) was in deficient of some nutrients and was producing rotten fruit.  It needed to be tilled.  The evidence of what was on the inside was shown by the rotten attitude I was producing on the outside.

Have you ever seen someone do something, or heard about something they did, and you think "I can't believe they did that?"  When I said that about myself I realized I needed to change. I had some things in my spirit that was producing rotten thoughts and attitudes.  It took the outward sign of my rotten attitude that showed I had something lacking on the inside.  And it needed to be treated.

I started doing an intensive study of the spirit of Jealousy and the spirit of Jezebel.  I have not been totally delivered from them, but through the knowledge I have gained from studying the Word and prayer (the Remedy) I am able to apply to block the thoughts from entering into my mind and getting into my spirit.  My soil is being fertilized. I hope to start producing good fruit again soon.
