UNNECESSARY WEIGHTS



Dear One,

Have you ever tried to run an important foot race with a 150 pound weight strapped to your back?
Have you ever tried to run an important foot race with a 200 pound weight strapped to your back? That is an impossible way to finish a race, let alone win it.
Would you rather run a race with no extra weight strapped to you and run it with the lightest clothing and running shoes?
That is what Paul was talking about, running a race set before you, fixing your eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith. The Holy Spirit, through the Apostle Paul, was telling you to lay aside all weights that are initiated by worry, unforgiveness, vain imaginations and anything that is not in line with the wisdom and knowledge that I give you.
You can transfer that extra back breaking weight to Me, the burden bearer. You cannot run the race and win the race if you persist in carrying unnecessary weights on your back. They will wear you down and they will cause you to drop out of the race toward the high calling of Christ Jesus, which is to live the abundant life that He promised you.
Give all of the back breaking weights to Me, your failures, your worries, your negative imaginations, and give to Me the failures of others, the hurts and injuries that were done to you by them. Those are sent to make you stop dead still in your tracks rather than successfully completing the race set before you. The prizes are waiting to be awarded to you. Don't let the weights keep you from receiving your prizes.
Have you considered that your trying to fix a situation without My wisdom and insight is human works? I said that you began in faith and you must continue in faith. The human solutions that you are implementing in solving a problem are merely ineffective works. My wisdom and insight take the weights off of your back and puts them on to Me. Then I can solve the problem.
When I said that faith without works is dead, I meant that after you receive insight from me relating to a problem, if I give you instructions on what your participation must be in solving the problem, then you should follow My advice. If I have not given you any instructions, then praying in the Spirit and walking in love are the only works required of you. Those two actions of yours will leave the spiritual dimension free and clear for Me to perform My miracle in the situation.
Always look to Jesus, who began your journey and will complete your journey toward your receiving the full inheritance.

Love, God
Hebrews 12:1 and 2, Philippians 3:13; John 10:10.
