I wrote this song a while ago that I haven't finished yet. I wrote these DEEP God-inspired and Scripture-backed lyrics, but the music I wrote for it never gave it justice, so I just shelved it. Well, this morning I was watching my book publisher's broadcast and it popped back up in my spirit. The song is called "Let It Go". I'll start explaining this by opening the scripture that the song grew from: "But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God."
If you are constantly looking back at your past, at the things that happened, as opposed to the direction that you are headed, where God is taking you, you are not fit for the Kingdom of God. You are taking your eyes off of the Kingdom, off of God to look at something else. That "thing" is what you are worshiping. That essentially is your god now. You are not fit (acceptable, adapted to, sound physically and mentally, ready to do) for the Kingdom of God.
I KNOW what happened to you was terrible. I get it! But you must understand that you cannot exist in two places at one time - it is COMPLETELY impossible. Either you go forward or you stay there! Yes it was despicable, horrible and unimaginably bad for you. You have to drop this and GO ON. Go forward. No, I don't know what they did to you. No I don't understand it at all. What I do understand is that it was a tactic by the enemy to stop you from getting to where you are to be in life. Believe it or not, so many others are depending on you to make it through this. YOU are their example which is why the enemy is trying to keep you HERE. If YOU stand up and walk out of this, so many others will follow you. And you don't even have to do anything other that walk out. They will follow because you beat it. You don't have to preach a sermon. Announce to the world anything. Just get up and walk out of what has been holding you down. And yes, some of you have a REAL battle on your hands. That battle is NOT yours, it's the Lord's. Your job is to make a conscious decision to forgive. And then move on. God has the rest. And he will hold you up as a banner to others.
You are allowing that incident to fill you up. Forgive. Let it Go! And Let God fill you up. He'll fill you so full of LOVE that there won't be room for anything else.
Stay Prayed Up!
