This week’s scripture reading: Hebrews 12:1

The weight of God vs the weight of this world!

"For such a time as this"

There is a spirit that is ever present in this age we live in, that is so strong it has encompassed the body of Christ. We hear it in the every day walk and it has engulfed the church as a whole. This is a message that will set the captive free if they recieve. I don't really know where to start, but I must use me as an example, to set others free we must be free ourselves.

There is every kind of fad diet on the market; you name it, it works. Some have short term results until you fall and go back to the norm and then you take on several other pounds with the ones you lost. Sound formiliar? I asked the Lord to give me revelation on the weight that so easily besets us and keeps us from the goal of He has set before us and the answer he gave is awesome.......................

Put on Jesus today!

It starts like this if you will, I asked the Lord to get involved in the weight program I was on because I need His help in loosing the pounds that I had put on. The scripture came to me immediately! I was shocked to see what He had said to me. How many of you kow that you cannot deliver someone effectively with the compassion of Jesus Christ until you have been there yourself.?! Well saints hold on to your seat! If you have ears to hear this word that I had never heard before, it will begin a weight loss program that will last!

Hebrews 12:1-3 (Amplified)

Heb 12:1 THEREFORE THEN, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who have borne testimony to the Truth], let us strip off and throw aside every encumbrance (unnecessary weight) and that sin which so readily (deftly and cleverly) clings to and entangles us, and let us run with patient endurance and steady and active persistence the appointed course of the race that is set before us,

Heb 12:2 Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]. He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God

The word weight has several meanings, the first being from the Greek (meaning a bending, bulging, a burden, and a hinderence) I think we can all agree to that meaning. Weight is a hinderence and more. If you're trying to run in a race it will slow you down. My question to the Father is where did this start? All spirits are subject to one world or another. So therefore, if you become so weighted down, you will feel ineffective, tired, unworthy, disqualified to go on to you destiny. Weight comes in many different ways, pounds are not the only weight we are fighting. 90% of the time we are not fighting demons we are fighting the influences of demonic forces, because Satan is the god of this world. LOOK AROUND YOU TODAY! Do you see JESUS?

SO I came again to the Father.....

And said, I don't want to lose weight, I want to be free from the spirit that has affected me in my RACE and HAS gotten my eyes off of You and onto me and my appearance. We have to look away from all the distractions that entangle us and force our focus off the King, because He is, after all, the reason we run this race ......................So Take it OFF!
