Definition: “A cease and desist letter, also known as "infringement letter" or "demand letter," is a document sent to an individual or business to halt purportedly unlawful activity ("cease") and not take it up again later ("desist"). To put it simply, “Stop what you’re doing now! And don’t start it up again.”
The Bible is full of such orders from God. The Lord told Moses to cease and desist. ”...the LORD said unto me...speak no more unto me of this matter.” This was also the case in the lives of Samuel and Paul. Not only is this true in our prayer life, but also touches every area of daily living; from sin to that which is not harmful in itself, but not good for us.
To be dogged in a thing is commendable, except when God tells us to STOP and discontinue its pursuance. One can know when God wants us to “cease and desist.” Like the merry-go-round, when we always end up where we started. In such cases, to be sure, God’s trying to tell us something. God’s way is always straight, not circular.
Ask Israel! For forty-years they went in circles. Why? They refused to “cease and desist.”
