WHAT COULD BE HOLDING YOU BACK?

God's Word is never bound.  Circumstances cannot change the power, the strength and authority of His Word. We can be bound by our circumstances, or rest in the freedom that comes by abiding in His Spirit and letting His Word be the authority over, in and through our hearts.  How important it is for us to be partakers of His Word...having eaten...chewed and digested His Word; taking in the nourishment of it...the vital and neccesary nutrients becoming a part of us...healing our understanding, opening our eyes to His perspective, and filling us with His unconditional love.  Just as our bodies take in food,digest,and process it....using it to renew our strength...it's a process.  We choose food that we partake of...we eat it chewing swallowing and our body then digests it using the vital life giving substances to give strength to our bodies and removing the unneccessary substances that are excess or waste.   His Word says...He binds up the broken-hearted......yet somewhere in there we have to be a willing participant...Makes me think of the song Joy to the World...the first part goes something like this... Joy to the world the Lord has come... let  earth, receive, her King...let every heart, prepare Him room...what  a reminder to us.  We have to choose to let our hearts receive the gift of the King of Kings ruling in our hearts, or we can choose not to.  But the truth is...we cannot blame God for our messed up hearts if we will not allow Him in, especially since He has provided a means for us to be healed in our deepest parts of our being, which in turn gives us great and wonderful JOY.
