Stop Waving At The Fly's

As I sat in my chair, thinking and praying about what I was to write, I all of a sudden heard a small pest zooming around above my head. “O how I hate fly’s!!!!” I thought, as I quickly waved my hand in front of my face to keep the annoying little creature from finding his resting place on the end of my nose. As I repeatedly waved the fly from before my face, I remembered back to when my irritating friend took up his abode in my home. My mom had went outside three times, and all three times she had rushed out in a hurry, expecting to return back in just a moment, but all the while leaving the screen door open. She didn’t leave the door open very long, and she went out to do business that she felt needed to be done, but she still yet left the door open. All week we have been fighting fly’s, and we have all been very aware that, in this particular area we are staying at right now, there is an over abundance of fly’s, and they love to take up residence in our motor home. But getting caught up in the hustle and bustle of life, she forgot… and left the screen door open, welcoming all those little creatures into our place.


After waving again and again at this pesky fly, I then had this thought hit me, “you must stop simply waving at the fly’s… and grab the swatter.” It then realized, this is where most of the true born again church is today. We have become so busy with the work of God, that we have left the door of our heart wide open by prayerlessness, and lack of fasting and reading, and have let little fly’s of flesh into our lives. Satan doesn’t have to walk in your heart in the form of a big monster. No! In fact he most likely wont! He knows that to do such a thing would be a waist of time, for you would soon identify him, and never allow him in. So he will catch you busy in your work for the Lord, and find you with your heart door open, and sneak in as just a little fleshly fly. You realize that this fly is there, and you are annoyed by it, but you just wave your hand again, as he buzzes around your face. Beloved, pretty soon this little pest you just keep waving away, will contaminate your whole life. He will land on your food, he will rest on your cup, he will be all over you heart. All the while, leaving behind him his filth, it enters deep into your soul over time, by you drinking, and eating what this nasty small fly has landed on, simply because you have just waved him away to long. Very soon, you will find yourself sitting, spiritually contaminated, and the fly you have waved away will land on your nose, mocking your ever wave. Taunting you, for your helplessness over the disease spread throughout your life!

Beloved, now is your time! Stop waving away the little fly of flesh! Whatever your fly may be, it is sin, and it will kill you! Stop waving away the fly.. and grab the swatter! Kill those flesh fly’s now, while there is still time! Hear me! Get things right with God, and keep the door of your heart shut to the “little things” that destroy. Stop waving at the fly’s… and grab the swatter!
