Halt

Don't allow yourself to get into a halt situation with your walk with God
H=Hungry Don't allow yourself to get to hungry for the word of God.
A= Angry Don't allow yourself to set around a be angry over and over again.
L=Lazy Don't forget about the time you use to spend with God in prayer.
T=Tempted If you have not been studying or not being feed the Word of God, and you have been angry and upset about everything going on around you, and you have stopped praying and spending time, then the enemy has you right were he wants you to be and you will become easily tempted.
What happened? How could we end up in this place?
Timothy 1:1-11 1Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope,
2To Timothy my true son in the faith: Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3As I urged you when I went into Macedonia, stay there in Ephesus so that you may command certain men not to teach false doctrines any longer 4nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies. These promote controversies rather than God's work—which is by faith. 5The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. 6Some have wandered away from these and turned to meaningless talk. 7They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm.
8We know that the law is good if one uses it properly. 9We also know that law[a] is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious; for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10for adulterers and perverts, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine 11that conforms to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me.

Don't allow the enemy to ever stop something that God started. Start reading the whole letters at one time in one setting like you use to. Start setting up some time just for God where you are in prayer and putting Him back to the top of your list. Put on the armor of God before you even get out of bed every day. Start letting God deal with your angry and get back on track with the peace that comes from heaven. Then the laziness is gone the ability for the enemy to tempt you become less limited because you will be more alert to these things.
Don't be cooled off or lukewarm, be hot, be on fire for God, His Word and His Spirit, and His Son Jesus. Pay close attention to yourself, to your walk with God. Analyze yourself daily in prayer with God, ask God to show you what to work on, instead of asking Him to work on what you are will to be rid of. Comment yourself to prayer and pour yourself into the Word of God. Stand firm with what you know God wants in your life and what you have read about what God wants. Do be like a reed the sways in the wind moving back and forth with the wind. Be an Oak tree for the Lord. Amen.
