That Can't Hold Me Anymore. . .

Christ Done Freed Me!

I have come to realize and Pastor Bynem confirmed it last night - Our thinking is the greatest problem we have in this life!

If we don’t maintain a changed mindset and keep our focus on God not our own understanding, then we will continue on the see-saw, back and forth!

Leaning on your own understanding that is not solidified, will cause you to become unstable in all of your ways - This is why we must always lean on God - The Solid Rock - The Chief Cornerstone

I don’t know about you but I am tired of being up one day and down the next

Christ is High and Lifted up - Therefore I am up and cannot come back down!

I don’t need to wait until I get to heaven to experience elevation!

Because He elevated, so have I - That old way of thinking cannot hold me anymore!

I am too powerful now - I know who I am now!

You have to see as God sees - Ezekiel 37: 1-5 “1 The hand of the Lord came upon me and brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones. 2 Then He caused me to pass by them all around, and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and indeed they were very dry. 3 And He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” So I answered, “O Lord God, You know.” 4 Again He said to me, “Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! 5 Thus says the Lord God to these bones: “Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live.”

How long will we remain in the fallen state when Jesus The Christ has given us the power to walk forward regardless of where I just came from!

I have too much Power for that dead thing to hold me - I have the authority over everything that attempts to keep me bound up in an asleep state!

Too often we allow our circumstances to become graves for us - Not realizing the Power we have over that circumstance!

Isaiah 43:25 (NKJV) 25  "I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; And I will not remember your sins.

There things in your past that you are allowing to hold you strong, all because of your perception of what you feel the world will say when the see where you have come from!

We learned last night that we should not allow our function to continue to lie and convince us that we are not overcomers - Revelation 12:11 “11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.”

So many are ashamed of where they come from you want to hide and not allow The Glory of The Lord to speak to another that just may be in the same place you are in, or even worse!

God is asking - “Where are you?” You are to remain in that posture of what caused you to be released from that grave - from that hold that was keeping you from moving forward!

I am His Word therefore I cannot be void - Isn’t that what we like to quote?

Realize that you are His Word that proceeds out of His Mouth and you will not fail - You will not lose - You always Triumph!

We say that God is a present help in the time of trouble - but we are ashamed when we are delivered form that trouble because as Pastor Bynem said last night - my function lies to me and tells me that is who I am!

The devil is a liar - 1 Corinthians 15:9-10 “9 For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.”

It does not matter what the world systems think of me - That is irrelevant now because I know who I am!

God called me by my name, therefore, because my name came forth out of His Mouth I will not become void!

I must accomplish the very thing God called me to! His Grace is more than enough to ensure that I remain in an overcome mindset!

When I think of the old me - God says; “I have forgotten that, let it alone. . .”

So I show myself from that grave that thought it had a hold on me!

When you realize the relevance of Grace you will see that The Power in you won’t allow that to hold you strong anymore!

Your grave could have been crack addiction

Pornography!

Homosexuality

Selfishness

Depression

Worry

Anger

Prison

Whatever it was that was holding you strong no longer has power over you - Christ Rose with all Power - Therefore as He is, we are! So you have The Power - That Cannot Hold You Anymore!

Before I knew who I am and before I came into a relationship with Our Father; what the world’s systems told me, I believe that and chased that, which had me believing I was not worthy to be in His Holy Presence or to be called As Him in the earth - That I was not worthy of God saving me and rescuing me!

Thus, I would allow my thinking to keep me from realizing the Change That had taken place due to the encounter. . .

But now I realize the Power has released me - No longer do I give into that sunken mindset - I rise up and continue on. . .

I may have been in a fallen state, but The Power of The Holy Spirit teaches me all things and one of those all things lets me know that although I may stumble, or I may fall - that is not my place - I must rise up and keep on moving because greater is ahead of me!

Those things behind me cannot hold me - they desire to hinder me, but I follow Christ and let the dead bury the dead. . .

I shared this at work the other morning, yes, you can share God and not even have to call His Name - This is what I said: When you FALL Don’t Stay There - We have been conditioned to be ashamed if we stumble and fall, but I want to encourage you this morning to change your mindset and perspective and realize that although I may have had times when I have falllen, the one thing that is for certain is that I did not remain in that fallen state because I have been granted another opportunity to Rejoice And Be Glad in this gift called life - I am here today therefore I have many purposes to fulfill - FALL = Future Aspirations Leading to another Level!

When the graves were opened they got up and went into the city and showed themselves to many - do not be ashamed of the truth, that God made you free from That which was holding you strong!

Noticed now - it seems as if they rose before Jesus Christ did - Jesus already was Risen because The Word said so - He did not have to show it to prove it!

I believe those bodies that came out of the grave were willing to let it go - And they were able to see a New Thing - A New Way - I am believing God for you and that when you decide That Can’t Hold Me Anymore - He is going to do a quick work in your life - Amos 9:13 (MSG) 13  "Yes indeed, it won't be long now." GOD's Decree. "Things are going to happen so fast your head will swim, one thing fast on the heels of the other. You won't be able to keep up. Everything will be happening at once—and everywhere you look, blessings! Blessings like wine pouring off the mountains and hills.

Isaiah 43:18-19 “18 “Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. 19 Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert.”

You must stop having relations with thoughts that are dead - that do not produce anything to cause you to live - Lazarus got up by The Word of The Lord - You live be remaining steadfast in His Promises, which keeps you from being drawn away! James 1:14-16 “14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. 15 Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death. 16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren.”

God’s Word causes us to live and not die, we have everlasting life because He has given us Power and not fear - Hope and not despair - Provisions and not lack!

I may not can see it but I know that He has already done, so I get up and move on towards the city!
