Do you ever feel like something's holding you back whenever you decide to move ahead? No matter what you're trying to accomplish, there's something in your past that reminds you of what you can't do and what you can't achieve. In this life, we've all experienced something dramatic. Whether it was losing a loved one, failing a grade, ending a relationship, or walking out when you were most needed, the truth of the matter is that life continues. I know it may be difficult hearing this, but life waits for no one. You either live or die. The choice is yours. You can make the decision to live in victory or wallow in defeat.
Every year, we hear stories of people who've crossed the shores of danger and enter the United States to become successful in business and school. Their story inspires people of all ethnicities to do the impossible. In fact, their commitment to achieving what others deemed complicated helps to add a spark of hope to the bucket of possibility that lies within us. That's right; if you want to blow up, you need to remove the stone(s) of can't and impossible. Stones of negativity can destroy hopes and dreams. Stones of insecurity can cripple self-confidence and self-worth. These stone(s) need to be removed in order to break free.
In this spiritual journey, we can learn a few things about stone(s) in your life. The first lesson is that stones block you from being all the you that God has called you to be. The stone of regret and disappointment. The stone of feeling rejected and dejected by others. Whenever the stone is removed, you'll be able to see what lies ahead of you. The second lesson is that your stone is Satan's way of blocking your blessing. Anytime you blame the enemy for what you can't accomplish, you're giving unnecessary credit to an adversary that wants to kill and destroy you. Instead of blaming others for what you can't do, look in the mirror at what you can do. God's Word tells us, "For with God, nothing will be impossible."
The story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead is very familiar to us. However, what's often overlooked is that Lazarus' sisters (Mary and Martha) wanted to keep him in the tomb because of his death odor. Jesus came to raise a dead (sleeping) man, but they (his sisters) were concerned about the stench. The stone covering the grave kept Lazarus in death and stench. But the good news is that Jesus commanded the people to remove the stone. The next thing Jesus did was that He called Lazarus by name. I like this because God is able to remove your stone and call you out by name so that you can walk out free. The Bible says, "And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with grave clothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Loose him, and let him go." That's my word for you. The same God who was able to remove Lazarus' stone is able to remove your stone. Not only will He cause your stone to be removed, but He'll cause you to be loosed in the process. I want you to know God's ready to do it in your life, - all you have to do is turn it over to Him.
