Hey all, how are you doing ? How are things going? In the last post I mentioned baggage. I hope you have found out what yours is and have let it go. Its a subject that I have thought about quite a bit lately. In my prayer time I have asked God to help me see mine and let it go. But during this last Sunday God was telling me some more. He was saying that social media and society tell us to hang on to our hurts. To remember those who have hurt us and not let go. So, my response was to say “why?” Why am I supposed to hang on to theses things? What good does it do? Who is going to benefit from it? Well the answer is simple. Its the devil that benefits the most. Society will tell you that it empowers you. It gives you strength. It gives you purpose. Your character will be built up. Your focus will improve. All of this is nothing but a bunch of lies.
All of these “benefits” go totally against God and His word. James 4:4 tells us that being friends with the world is hostility toward God. In Matt. 22:37- 40 we read Jesus’ answer to what is the greatest commandment. The second part of the answer tells us to LOVE your neighbor as yourself. For all the laws and prophets depend on these. How’s that for shredding their statements to pieces. Anyone who is a child of the living God Cannot do both. You either believe God and His word or you side with society and the Devil. Plain and simple. There is no in between. That is another lie of the Devil. God does not work in the so called “gray” area’s. Its either yes or no. Even in His word we hear about doing His good, pleasing or perfect will. Yet these are all still positive. We want to strive for the perfect will. Who wants to settle for the lesser? Yet we do all the time in our lives. We think that the perfect is unattainable, so we don’t even try. Thats about when the Devil says yeah your right don’t bother trying. Stop listening to him. He wants you to keep carrying that baggage with you.
I say this so that you don’t have to be over the head with the Holy Spirits 2×4. I have felt that way to many times in my life. My son said it must be made of Ash or really hard Hickory otherwise it would have been broken by now. Funny as it is, he is probably right. I am just saying let go of it and let God take care of it. Its His job and He wants to do it. He loves doing it for us. He’s just not going to do it unless we let Him.; The time is now to get on our knees and pray. Asking for forgiveness and to be cleansed from our iniquities. Now we are in a position to make change. Because at this point we need to continue on this path by submitting to God ourselves. Then watch the Devil run. For he sees that we are not alone. God is standing next to us. What a great place to be in.
All I am asking is that you take time in prayer very soon and ask God to show you your baggage. Being encouraged to leave it at the alter of His feet. Now the hard part is leaving it there. Don’t listen to the enemy of our souls. Submit to God and tell the Devil to leave. I pray for a total release of the Holy Spirit in your lives at this time. Being creates anew and without spot or blemish. Having the Light of God shining through ever so bright as you walk in His ways. Being a pathway for others to follow. That they may find Jesus and be saved. Amen.
Be blessed, Ken
