Letting Go Frees You

If letting go frees you, then what does holding onto do for you? It can keep you stuck in your circumstances when you chose to hold onto your past, pain, anger, etc.

I want to help you first understand what you have been holding onto so you can be totally free from what has kept you in bondage.

1. Identify What You’re Holding Onto

Have you heard the phrase, “Let go and let God?”

For some it sounds comforting, but for me, I don’t like it. Why? How can I let go of something I don’t know I am holding onto?

The first step you can take to free yourself is to ask God what you have been holding onto. He knows and He wants you to know it too so you can be free once and for all.

You may guess what you are holding onto tightly, but God is the only one who really knows. Don’t be surprised when He starts to reveal to you what you has held you captive all these years.

You could be holding onto lies, deception, fears and pain.

2. Ask God To Help You Letting Go

Once God shows you what you need to let go of, then its His responsibility to show you HOW to be free.

Jesus said in John 8:32 in The Passion Translation, “For if you embrace the truth, it will release more freedom into your lives.”

One way God will help you is by sharing with you the Truth.

Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. (John 14:6) When you chose to believe the Truth, letting go of the lies frees you.

The Bible also reveals to you, “So if the Son makes you free, then you are unquestionably free.” (John 8:36)

Ask the Lord for Scripture verses that will help you let go of what you are holding onto.

3. You MUST Choose To Let Go

Once God has shown you what you are holding onto, then its your choice to release it to God.

No one can make that decision for you. The good news is you can make one of the best decisions of your life.

Letting go frees you when you decide once and for all that you will no longer live with those lies.

You can’t do this alone either. You must ask God to help you. Why would God show you what you’ve held onto and not help you be free?

Also you must believe this is possible for you especially if you have struggled in bondage for years.

Now What?

After you have asked God what you have been holding onto, watch and listen. He will show you exactly what you are being set free from once and for all.

Remember to ask Him for help because you can’t do this by yourself.

When you have committed to letting go, then you can expect a brand new life.

Its possible you have been living in bondage for decades. You need to seek the Lord and ask Him what your new life will look like from now on.

When you have a new image on the inside of you of a new future, something exciting is going to happen to you.

Your hope and expectations will begin to change. You will begin to dream again. Letting go will be well worth it.

Today can be your day of freedom. I encourage you to seek the Lord now and ask Him to reveal to you what you need to let go of and obey Him.

Since letting go frees you, why not today?
