So many in the Body of Christ, though they have accepted Jesus as the Lord and Savior of their life, struggle with so many different things of this world. Things such as pain, depression, addictions, sickness, lack, poverty and strife. But I recall that our Father said that we are only in this world, not of it. When you accepted Jesus, all of your past was washed away, you entered a new kingdom, God's Kingdom! So why do so many among us still have their grave clothes on?
There is a few answers to this question. Fear, doubt and unbelief are just a few that come to mind.
In God's Kingdom you have to be fearless. Yes, God may ask you to do some things that you have never done before, but remember your not alone, Jesus is with you! Be like Abraham! When God told him to leave his homeland and go to a land which was unknown to him, he didn't have a clue just like you, but the difference between you and he is that he risked it all and went; and for that he was greatly rewarded. You don't have to know or even understand why God is moving the way He is in your life, all you have to do is obey, it's that simple. God has never and will never lead you astray!
Don't ever doubt God! Doubting Him is an insult! Do you think for one second that God, the Father of all creation, the creator of Heaven and Earth and everything in it, is unable to turn your entire situation around? He created everything under the heavens in seven days, what do you think He can do in your life in a matter of minutes? Even seconds? Let go and let God! I know a lot of people say that but it's true! Let go of doubt! Trust God! He has a wonderful plan for your life! A beautiful future in store for you! Reach out and grab hold of God's mighty right hand and receive it! He's got you covered!
Unbelief! All I can say is why wouldn't you believe in God? You believe everything else! You believe what the media tells you. What the news tells you. What your friends and family tell you. So you should definitely above all believe what God tells you! His Word is true! It is set in stone! It will not fall to the Earth void of power but it will indeed accomplish what He sent it into the world to do! God holds His Word above His name! You think He's not going to come through for you? Then you are sadly mistaken. Shake that unbelief off! You are no longer apart of those in the realm of darkness! You are a child of the light! Believe and trust in the mighty name of Jesus! He will never and has never let you down!
Take the grave clothes off! Take them off! Throw them away! And refuse to ever put them on again! Give them back to who they belong to! The devil and those who serve him! They don't belong to us! We are Children of the Almighty God! Be like Lazarus in John 11. When Jesus called Lazarus name from the grave, He didn't stay inside the tomb. He came out and those grave clothes got taken off of him! You need to do the same thing.
Jesus said to them, "Take off the grave clothes and let him go." ~ John 11:44
Jesus is saying the same thing to you and to what's holding you captive. Let it go! Jesus is calling you out from the depths of the grave just as He did Lazarus! Will you answer the call and take those grave clothes off? I hope you will!
God Bless!
