WHY CAN'T I SHAKE THIS
10.jpg)
Pressures, fears, anxiety, stress, anger, bitterness...."Why can't I shake this!"
How in the world did you ever get to this place in life....what circumstance brought you here?
Is life so bad, you don't know which way to turn.....or was it one spontaneous choice that spiraled you into your own private prison?
Sometimes our valley experiences could very well be setting us up for our biggest BREAKTHROUGH....How can a VICE bring forth a VICTORY?
I'm glad you asked. There are times in life when we can become over confident in what we believe we already know....to the point that we refuse to let anyone else address us on it or even hear what they have to say.....We formulate an opinion which become a barrier of protection. Therefore leaving NO space for an optimistic point of view to be entertained....
Being humbled due to pride can be an humiliating experience in the presence of others. So many of us retreat when facing difficult situations in life....
I believe God allows us to GO THROUGH various obstacles to mature us in one way or another....we gain experience from life lessons no matter how minor or sever.... I believe we ALL take turns being taught and teaching others....
We weren't given life on earth to live selfishly, but to give of ourselves through love, joy, heartache and experiences....
Our contribution to society is to present the best WE, we can offer....with all of its drama, ups & downs, accomplishments & failures....Life is a series of EVENTS none of which we fully know the outcome to if left up to our own devices........
We would all like to think heaven will be our home....but many of us live like hell on earth. Bitterness fills some of our hearts due to some significant undertaking in our life. Some are filled with anger & hatred because of how others have treated us. Many may sit in the seat of unforgiveness due to an injustice render.....Envy & Jealousy could possibly have a vice grip over the heart enabling true love from embracing us......
Go all the way back in you mind to determine the ROOT cause of all your frustration. There you will find the source of your present pain........It never starts by searching outside of yourself...it begins from WITHIN. The problem didn't originate with them....but the last two letters of the word them in reverse.. "ME." What is it in ME that I haven't come to terms with? Why can't I be happy...what am I doing wrong...what is going on...WHY CAN'T I SHAKE THIS!
Help! H= Humble yourself to the fact that you need Gods help to see you through the issue and grant Him access to your HEART
E=Express where you are truthfully to someone you trust who will have your best interest at heart and EXCEPT their help
L=Listen to sound advice from God & those messengers with an on time word specifically addressing where you are
P=Pray without ceasing for peace & deliverance to rest in your heart again
What we speak out of our own mouths can actively promote a state of mind for healing or utter destruction....Can we get any lower than bottom....YEAH....Dead. Yet, in this very moment of life you can still choose to live.....yes swim not drown....All it takes is ONE positive choice of surrender.....
These lessons are never easy, nor do we look forward to them when they come....however, we don't have to feel overcome by them either....
If you find yourself with a VICE around your neck choking the life out of you...cry out for Gods help by first apologizing for the wrong done....then release those who have offended you along the way....repent for any malicous acts done and surrender to the process of health & healing through Jesus Christ Gods only son.....
The deliverance is much bigger than you...so much is riding on your recovery...because just down the road a piece, is a very dear friend about to fall into the same trap you are seeking deliverance from.....Your success will mean their escaping the same snare due to your timely advice concerning the dangers of it......
We go through, we learn...we teach so that others can be informed and enlighten of the truth.
The reasons may not always be clear why we choose the pathways we do...but one thing is for sure...God knows how to sheer us all back on the right path if we ask Him too.
Do we know everything, most certainly not....and that maybe the very reason why I can't shake this......Just remember, the VICE everyone can see today...may very well turn into your VICTORY of PRAISE tomorrow.....
Turn to God and see how He can rescue you out of a hellish situation.

Lisa,
I do believe that prayer certainly does change and heals a multitude of all of our circumstances. As I read this message this morning, a calm spirit and peace entered my heart and mind because I too, can testify to the truth of these encouraging words. Thank you for the uplift.

My Girl,
This word of wisdom really hits deep in my heart. I know on some level I can shake this unwanted devil exsisting in my present life. I will ask God to let me hear all that he say to me and then I will respond in a positive manner.I will overcome,I will!!!!!!!
