Let me type this again for the person who missed it… You can’t get over until you get over it! What do I mean? Well, I’m glad you asked. How do you think you can get to over to the other side (Heaven) if you can’t get over the mess you’ve been in down here? How do you think you can get over to the place that has nothing but joy if you haven’t gotten over the anger down here? How can you get over to that place where every day is like Sunday when you can’t even get over partying to respect Sunday down here? How do you expect to get over to the place that has no suffering when you can’t even get over the addiction that has consumed your life down here? I’m asking, truly asking how you can expect to get over if you haven’t gotten over it. Yea, you’ve been hurt before; many have, get over it and stop allowing the same person to do it over and over. If he or she was using you before, chances are they are coming back to do the same thing again. Trust their actions and not their words because you can’t be used unless you give them the chance too. Get over that and allow God to send you the person that will only use their hands to wipe your tears, their arms to hold you, their legs to stand beside you, their mouth to build you up, their heart to love you and their mind to stimulate yours. This is why God said in Genesis 2:18, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.” (Did you catch that? He said a helper, not a user!) Yea, ok, you’re angry; who hasn’t been but when will YOU get over it? Daddy left, momma didn’t treat you right, husband walked off and then came back, wife won’t stop nagging, friends acting like enemies, folks on the job acting crazy, church folk acting more like the world, people still talking about you and then to top it off you may be sick but why are you still angry? Don’t you know the bible says in James 1:20, “For the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God?” Ecclesiastes 7:9 says, “Don’t be quick to get angry, because anger is typical of fools.” And you do know that Proverbs 18:7 says “A fool’s mouth is his ruin, and his lips are a snare to his soul,” right? Simply stating, your mouth can ruin your life and your lips can trap your soul. And if your soul is trapped with worldly mess then how can it belong to God?
All I want for you to get out of this today is; you can’t get over until you get over it! Deal with the sickness, the depression, the storm, the situation, the mess, the heartache, the anger, the loneliness, the crying, the layoff, the addiction, the gossiping, the lying, the backbiting … Deal with it and then let it go. Stop allowing it to deal with you! You’re better than what you’ve been bound too. God has already broken the locks, He’s waiting for you to let go of the chains. He’s already knocked down the strongholds; He’s just waiting for you to move. God has already lightened your path; He’s just waiting on you to walk it. He has given you all the signs you’ve asked for, why are you not moving?
