Release & Excel

A crucial lesson in life is recognizing when it is time to release: to let go of fear, insecurities, past mistakes, embarrassments, hurts, non-covenant relationships, unforgiveness, word curses, selfishness, negative thoughts, control, works of the flesh, pride, and anything that hinders joy, elevating itself above gratitude and thankfulness to the Most High—idolatry.

The moment we submit ourselves to His divine will, we break free from the endless cycle of moving yet spinning in circles, going nowhere. I have personally experienced this, and I strongly advise against such behavior. Repeating the same actions and expecting different outcomes is the epitome of insanity. We must renew our minds and take action to activate the promises He has bestowed upon us. As we gain knowledge, we can make better choices and live better lives.

Through surrender, fully letting go, and trusting in Him, the old self will pass away, and we will emerge victorious. Things will align, and He will receive glory in every situation. We must allow the breaking process, understanding that situations, people, and things often serve as tests to assess our position in life. Will we still trust Him? Will we still express gratitude? Will we continue to serve Him? Will we choose joy? Will we remain on the battlefield for lost souls? Or will we become idols or remain stagnant in our own lives?

Let the transformation begin or continue. It starts with faith, hope, and belief, and it culminates in action, endurance, and works. Do not give up when faced with challenges; keep pressing forward. Through Christ, you are capable of all things. Today does not have to resemble yesterday. Your thoughts, emotions, and actions can undergo a shift starting now. Entrust everything to the Father; He is there to carry you. If you desire someone to pray for you, in accordance with His will and His word, please submit a prayer request or get connected.

Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. Ephesians 4:31-32

16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. 19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. Galatians 5:16-26
