Let It Go

To some of you, these words by T.D. Jakes will sound harsh. I realize that. And yet I'm including them here because this is the kind of stuff which has set me free the past 12 years. I have found marvelous freedom when I apply truths such as these. And no, it's not easy (is anything, really?). But Jesus did promise to help us through it all. 

Also, I've discovered when I truly place something in God's hands, it returns to me in a brand new, better-than-ever way after having been touched, re-molded and changed by His fingers.



Let It Go In 2006
By T. D. Jakes


There are people who can walk away from you.

And hear me when I tell you this! When people can walk away from
you: let them walk.
I don't want you to try to talk another person into staying with
you, loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you,
staying attached to you. I mean hang up the phone.

When people can walk away from you let them walk. Your destiny is
never tied to anybody that left.

The Bible said that, they came out from us that it might be made
manifest that they were not for us. For had they been of us,
no doubt they would have continued with us. [1 John 2:19]

People leave you because they are not joined to you.
And if they are not joined to you, you can't make them stay.

Let them go.

And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person it just means that
their part in the story is over. And you've got
to know when people's part in your story is over so that you don't
keep trying to raise the dead. You've got to know when
it's dead.

You've got to know when it's over. Let me tell you something. I've
got the gift of good-bye. It's the tenth spiritual gift, I believe in
good-bye.
It's not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm faithful, and I know
whatever God means for me to have He'll give it to me.
And if it takes too much sweat I don't need it. Stop begging people
to stay.

Let them go!!

that doesn't belong to you and was never intended for your life,
then you need to......

relationship.......

If you keep trying to help someone who won't even try to help
themselves......

LET IT GO!!!

If you're feeling depressed and stressed ........

If there is a particular situation that you are so used to handling
yourself and God is saying "take your hands off of it," then you
need to......

LET IT GO!!!

Let the past be the past. Forget the former things. GOD is doing a
new thing for 2006!!

LET IT GO!!!
