Each Spring lawn care companies give grandiose images of the perfect yard. If you just buy this product, follow their three step process and properly maintain your grass, this could be your house? Unfortunately, these commercials do not take into consideration the transitional zone, the area where Bermuda Grass in the south meets Tall Fescue from the north. Following an internship in Golf Course Design and Maintenance, I asked a mentor what I should do with my lawn in Delaware. His advice, “blow it up and start from scratch with fresh top soil and sod.”
I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”- Genesis 12:3
Recently, president Obama has declared that America is no longer a Christian nation. Meanwhile, liberal politicians have distanced the United States from our former ally Israel. On the surface this may not seem like a big deal. However, inside the Bible tells a different story. The Old Testament is filled with verses the claim God blesses those nations which protect and support Israel. On the other hand, those whom dishonor Israel will be cursed. If this trend in America continues, the United States will find itself in God’s transitional zone, blessed since 1948 for helping Israel become a nation to on the verge of being cursed due to our lack of understanding of this biblical principle.
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. – Ephesians 6:12
Beneath the surface, there are spiritual weeds, demons and evil spirits, seeking to cause havoc in the lives of individuals. Since these forces are invisible, you can’t use Round Up to kill these entities. Rather, prayer walks, fasting, worship and meditating on God’s Word will help those souls stuck in this transitional zone. Although I can’t promise you that you’ll have a perfect life void of pests, I can assure you of the promises of God. While you battle the visible tasks in this life, don’t forget to tap into the power of the Holy Spirit, 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, so that you can overcome life’s spiritual transitional zone.
