Shake It Off
February 3, 2011
The Lord gave me a metaphor of a huge shaggy dog that just came out of a bath and was shaking itself intensely to get the water off because the water was weighing it down.
The Lord says when the weights of the world try to weigh you down and discouragement comes against you, shake it off. When pressure comes and trouble arises, don’t allow these things to bring turmoil and confusion but shake it off. Don’t allow things to distract or derail you of your purpose. Let nothing catch you off guard, and don’t lose your focus.
Don’t submit to ungodly or vain imaginations. When thoughts come to bring dismay and disillusions try to bring fear don’t receive them.
When people come against you with lies and accusation shake it off immediately so that it doesn’t affect you. Release and forgive that person so that the situation doesn’t cause a root of bitterness in you through unforgiveness. Don’t allow the enemy to get a foothold but know that I will bring justice.
Do not panic when adverse situations arise I will bring you out of that place of difficulty. When the enemy comes against you in any form, rather than submit to his schemes, shake it off. Shake off whatever it is that robs you from entering this place of peace. I understand your fears and concerns of what your future holds but as you come in to this place of peace I will give you direction. Trust Me to provide all your needs and bring your dreams to fulfillment.
As you spend time in My presence the cares and concerns of this world will wash away. All the pressure that you have been experiencing will dissipate as you enter this place of rest.
Just as Paul shook off the snake that tried to attach itself to him and bring death, you too must shake off that which comes against you to steal, kill and destroy.
Put your trust in Me, cast your cares on Me and as you learn how to shake off the cares and burdens that try to attach themselves to you, you will find peace even in times of distress says the Lord.
Psalm 144: 1
Praise be to the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.
Acts 28: 5
But he shook off the creature into the fire and suffered no harm.
Hebrews 12:1
Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith
