LET IT GO

There was a documentary on TV on how Africans catch monkeys. Now a monkey is very intelligent, so the African had to do something to out think the animal. He first put a cage on the ground with a bright object inside it. The door to the cage was left open to tempt the monkey to go in. When he did, a trap was set on the door to cause it to close and catch him. But the monkey would not go into the cage.

So the Africans closed the cage and made wire around the cage just big enough so the monkey could get his hand in the cage. Now, when the monkey saw the bright object, he put his hand through the wire and grabbed it, but could not get it out of the cage. (With the object in hand he could not pull it through) HE COULD ONLY BE FREE IF HE WOULD LET GO THE OBJECT. The African then took a club and knocked the monkey over the head, and it died. Now, you would think that the monkey would have been smarter than that.

Many who are backslidden today are like these monkeys. THEY REACHED INTO THE DEVILS “CAGE” BY TAKING HOLD OF AN OFFENSE AND REFUSE TO LET IT GO. He is hitting them over the head with sickness, strife, and all types of family and financial problems. THEY HAVE GIVEN THEMSELVES OVER TO BITTERNESS, AND IT IS DESTROYING THEM.

ALL THEY HAVE TO DO TO BE FREE AND REMAIN FREE OF THE TRAP IS TO LET GO of hurts and wounds. GOD CAN HEAL AND RESTORE A PERSON IMMEDIATELY IF HE WILL FORGIVE OFFENSES AND REPENT OF BITTERNESS. Many folk have been hurt especially in doing Ministry and allowed that to build up. Then they quit, and just walk out on what God called them to do, but the only way to get pass it is to go to the one who has offended you, and ask them to forgive you. It’s the only way to true peace.

ANYONE CAN TAKE OFFENSE, get hurt, AND WALK OUT, but it takes a real man or woman of God to make it right. There is no Biblical reason to hold a grudge or to live in resentment. And there is every reason not to. MATTHEW 18:34-35 SAYS: And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him. So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not everyone his brother their trespasses.

LET IT GO IT’S NOT WORTH IT!!!!!
