1Therefore,
since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside
every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance
the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder
and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the
cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of
God (Hebrews 12:1-2, ESV).
I have wrestled with God
about this detox, detox, detox for some time now. And last night I was paging through an old
notebook. There was no rhyme or reason to it, just a bunch of different stuff;
sermon preps and stories, Apologetic homework, blog thoughts, youth group
lessons and ideas, etc. Towards the end
of the notebook I came across a page with no date but two days before it was
dated 5/18/14. And so I decided to share it exactly as
written:
Come
Lord Jesus Come:
-Detox,
detox, detox…
Spiritual
detox – empty all the toxicosis thoughts that hinder you.
Empty
the lies that you don’t have the energy to do it and fill it with the truth
that Jesus came and has conquered. The
power of the Holy Spirit rests in me and has enabled me to do all I need to
accomplish for His will in my life.
Physically
detox – empty my body of toxicosis food that slow me down. Fast, water.
Emotionally
detox – detox – empty all the damaging emotional thoughts that hinder.
Do
not repeat past failures or hurts in my mind but replace with the truth I am
more than a conqueror through Christ.
Greater is he that lives in me than he who is in the world.
Lord, we live in a world that is filled with toxicity
and not just physical toxins. And you are greater than all that is in this
world. Thank you we can conqueror those
things that hinder us through Jesus Christ.
