"Throw off everything that hinders."
We know we can't run a race still tied to the hitching post. We know we can't fight still chained up in a dungeon. We know we can't win the beauty contest still carrying excess weight. And by now, we know victory requires removing hindrances from our lives. We know we have to cut ties, break bonds, stop eating junk, stop listening to lies, remove ourselves from negative situations or people, but then what?
Do we walk around empty? Silent? Starving?
Or do we begin to put on our running shoes, practice self defense, put good nutrition and supplements in our bodies and begin to see results?
Spiritually it is not enough to just strip off the obvious negative things. We have to PUT ON what will give us that extra edge. Fill the silence where lies once spoke with truth. Replace the words of death with conscientious words of life.Get rid of evil and pursue God. Eat the Word. Fill up on Worship. Spend time in prayer. Listen, Read & Watch life giving, truth revealing, mind renewing materials UNTIL transformation is obvious, victory is won and life has just begun!
