Today more than ever there seems to be a spirit of hesitation that people go by in these days. Now you know I'm talking about Christians. And I know things come up such as people violating your trust, getting caught up in things you shouldn't have got caught up in and then making a personal vow to never let that happen again. And/or that God may have been just using that season to teach you something, but stopping or hesitating wasn't one of the things He was trying to teach you. However, you ending up being in a hesitory state is, well maybe it isn’t just nothing. You must deal with any offenses, and unforgiveness, any personal vows that you made which stop your spiritual growth and progress. You need to see that the devil uses people to stop you or to slow you down so by where at least daily you get passed up by a slug or two. It’s a strategy period.

Overreacting is another thing that is cojoined to the principle of hesitation. And I will try and give you an example here. 

So in Paradise we had a fire back in November 2018 and it burned about 80 percent or so of the town. And so but now that it has been just over 6 years later, the town of paradise, that is the government of paradise, is paying third party contractors to turn what could be manageable and lush Forest into deserts. We know this method as clear cutting and it's done all the time in the Amazon forest. Well guess what? It's alive and well in paradise now. The town pays contractors to literally strip the land of everything living with the exception of big trees for fear of another fire. Now many of you may not know this but the paradise fire was deemed as a 500-year fire event. This means that there was a lot of time to build up a lot of debris including the things that people collected and left on their properties to burn. But now desertification is going to be the new norm, at least based on what we're seeing right now. This is an improper way to manage a forest. And oh yes, penalties come from the Town if you yourself are unable to deforest on your own. Fear, fear, fear.
