Lighten up and Live.

Today let us lighten up and live.  Let us empty our basket of  the trash that others put in there. The hurt, pain, the hatred, spirit of anger, bitterness, jealousy, sickness, loss of job and whatever else others under the influence of satan put there. We are now going to fill our baskets with God’s Love and the Spirit of forgiveness and the fruit of the spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) so God can move us up to higher ground, higher heights and much closer to Him. Once we get rid of all the trash we will be wearing the breast-plate of Jesus Christ. And when things around us are chaotic or when all hell break loose, or a simple thing like a cock roach we will be so calm because God has given us a peace that passeth all understanding.  We  will be wearing the whole armour of God, and when the evil comes, we may be able to stand firm. Our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against the rulers of darkness (satan) against spiritual hosts of wickedness in heavenly places. (Read Ephesians 6: 10-20). With the Armor of God we can stand firm in the battles of life (not even a cockroach will cause me to explode.)  So today lets empty our trash baskets and lighten up and live.

And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
