Strip off the Weight | 2.8.2026

There's a difference between God's permissive will and his perfect will. Big difference. And I would say this, God's permissive will only exists because of his grace. It's only his grace that he allows us to live a certain way, that he allows even sin and compromise in our life to go what we think is unnoticed, it's not unnoticed to him.

That's why margin exists. It exists so you aren't constantly riding or butting up to the edge of what would be considered sin in your life. We shouldn't be living that way as Christians. We shouldn't be constantly trying to butt up against to what would be considered sin. That's a dangerous dangerous dangerous way to live your life. [00:22:51] (29 seconds)  #LiveWithMargin

Notice how it really gives us an understanding here that sin and weight while all sin is weight, not all weight is necessarily sin. This is we have to understand this.

There were other things that God is speaking of here. [00:09:09] (35 seconds)  #StripOffTheWeight

And not only that but how you are fed needs to change. As you mature in the Lord you have to learn how to feed yourself. The bible talks about this process right? Going from milk to meat. You have to and I talk about this a lot about it's great to get a word from the pulpit. It's great to go on YouTube or wherever and listen to sermons and there are so many amazing preachers and teachers out there. But there was nothing like you getting a word from the Lord just by opening up his book. [00:38:51] (51 seconds)  #FromMilkToMeat

The Israelites diet changed every time God brought them into a new place. You gotta see this. Every time God transitioned his people, he changed their diet. We're looking now from the time that they were in Egypt, which represents bondage to the time that he set them free but they were still on the way to the promised land, that time in the wilderness to the time where they finally crossed over the Jordan forty years later and stepped foot and began to live in the promised land.

God has been doing something. There's purpose through trial. There's purpose through times of difficulty. Do you know every storm in your life has a purpose? Even the things that that that the enemy tries to stir up in your life. God uses those things for good in your life. He's developing something in you. Endurance, perseverance.

Faith. It's gonna take a whole lot of faith to strip some things off, to lay some things aside that we've been used to carrying and begin to run for Jesus. That is going to take faith. It's going to take trust which is faith put into action. [00:07:32] (19 seconds)  #FaithToLetGo
