Like that's different. I think the example I'm giving is say someone is completely spirit filled and they're pursuing the things of God and they're not really being tied back by the world. And then this person over here is caught up in like drinking, smoking, partying, whether if it's false doctrine, self-righteousness, whatever it may be.

And it's holding them back from fulfilling their assignment. And it's not creating this harmonious relationship because there is an imbalance, right?

And so I bring this up because we have to know what it means to be yoked with people and being yoked in developing those deep relationships is based not off of, like I said, casual conversation, but deep, intimate conversations, common beliefs and common thoughts. I think people may have the question of, can I still be friends with people who are unaligned with my faith?

And my answer to that is you cannot be yoked with them. But if God has assigned you to that person, then there must be a healthy distance and a boundary.

Because there have been some cases in my life specifically to where I had friends, whether if they were in the world with me or if I just met them, and God wasn't calling me to partake in their practices, but God was also calling me to stay somewhat close so I can minister to them. And that is an instruction from the Lord.

If your friend is all sorts of not doing what they're supposed to do and you know it, you got to get up and leave with their bad influence. There are some people, though, to where they don't have anybody else in their life to show the light of Christ. And God may actually be using you as a vessel to minister to them.

The only difference that needs to happen is you could have a friendship, but it needs to be a friendship at a distance and not to be yoked. What people don't understand about being yoked is that being yoked is not a casual interaction. Being yoked is a deep ongoing relationship that requires shared goals and values. And so what this looks like practically is,

And so what this looks like practically is,

is if you were to have a friend who doesn't share the same goals and values as you, then it is your responsibility to not invest into them super spiritually and emotionally and physically because you're unequally yoked. What it means to become yoked with someone is investing into them on a deep spiritual level. And if the other person doesn't understand deep spiritual...

But if God has called you to that person and minister to them or to assist them or to show the love of God, you could do that at a distance and being friendly and being kind and being gracious, but not partaking in their, whether if it's their wickedness or their disobedience or the things that they're doing in the world that has the potential to throw you into corruption as well.
