Hello Church,
Yesterday's message, "Breaking Through Your Brick Wall" showed us that it isn't a brick wall at all, IT'S JUST PAPER. All of us have, at one time seen a football team run through a paper wall at the beginning of a football game. The team comes out and runs through the paper wall as the fans are cheering them on. BUT what would happen if the team comes out of the locker room, full of excitement, running down the hall and all of a sudden they see this wall in front of them and they stop because they don't know what's on the other side? Well, chances are, we the fans would cheer them on and shout out, "Go through, go forward, it's only paper."
Isn't this many of us at times. we come to the House of the Lord, are taught, are trained to go out into the field (world) and tell who Jesus is, BUT when we leave God's House we're confronted with a wall, a wall that has things written on it by the devil.
So let's ask a question, "What's written on your wall?" What has the devil written on your wall that it has cause you to stop running the race that is before you? Is it doubt, fear, backbiter, jealous, addict, loser, uneducated, wimp, liar, coward and the list can go on and on. BUT Church, in Hebrews it tells us that there is a great cloud of witnesses in heaven that are cheering us on because they know all those things written about you are false, just lies. The witnesses are saying to you and to me, "Go through, it's only paper. Don't stop at the place of unbelief - break through, no matter what the devil writes on your wall,HE IS A LIAR."
Too many Christians have been inn the locker room too long. They've heard all the "how to's," BUT now it is time to put on the armor of God and get into the game. Church, run through your paper wall and fight the good fight. Be encouraged, don't let these things hold you back any longer. God will give you the strength you need for the hour you are in.
