Over the weekend, I heard these words, “It’s time to break ties.”
I believe this word is vital for many. It is time to break ties with some things – mainly the things the world is promoting.
What am I talking about? I believe it is time to break ties with ALL fear and intimidation that is being thrown at us daily. I cannot watch the news – I just can’t. There is nothing good, encouraging, or biblical coming from the media – so why would I want to fill my mind with that? Why would anyone?
The Bible says, “Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.” (Phil 4:8)
To meditate means to fix our eyes and mind on them.
The Bible tells us plainly to fix our eyes and our mind on the things of God. When we do this, faith grows – our confidence is God expands.
However, when we fix our mind on the fear and intimidation the world is feeding us – our fear grows and our confidence in God plummets.
Do you not know, what you feed will grow?
If you feed yourself fifteen minutes of media fear each day, it will grow. Before you know it fear will infiltrate every single area of your life. I am seeing this take place in many of those around me.
We must break ties with the negative and the fear – and we must do it now. To break ties means you no longer have any type of relationship with it. You refuse to listen to it. You refuse to meditate on it. You refuse to speak fear out of your mouth.
God is saying, “Break ties with the fear that is attempting to be thrown at us – break ties with it – no longer listen to it – refuse to partner with it – break ties now and rise up in POWER!”
I honestly believe if we could all, as the Body of Christ, refuse fear at this moment, we would begin to see things change. However, the only way that will happen is if we, as the Body of Christ, stop feeding ourselves a daily dose of fear through social media and news media.
My friends, I know I have talked about this a lot lately – but it is only because I see that fear is still rampant across the nation. It must stop and we can stop it.
GOD HAS NOT GIVEN US A SPIRIT OF FEAR…but of power and of love and a sound mind.
We cannot continue to feed fear, allowing it to grow, and expect to have peace or a sound mind. It simply won’t work.
It is my prayer for you today that this day will be a day of breaking ties. Breaking ties with fear and anxiety. Breaking ties with every source that feeds fear, that promotes fear. Breaking ties with the plan of the enemy – because that is what fear is. It is his plan for you – to cause you to be so filled with fear that it affects every area of your life and renders you helpless. We cannot allow that to happen. It’s time to break ties – now.
