Saved Yet Stuck

Author : Johnny Morney
Ask yourself this question. Can you really be saved from
something yet remain attached or stuck to it? Much to my
surprise the answer is astoundingly yes.Let me explain to you what I mean by "saved yet stuck".
You can be spiritually and physically or outwardly saved
or removed from a thing and up until now you have been
mentally or inwardly chained to that very same thing.As someone who is still fairly new to Christianity, I
thought my negative beliefs, thoughts and actions would
supernaturally disappear after I gave my life to Jesus.
That didn't happen. So there I was in a situation where I
was saved by the blood of Jesus. I had been water washed
as well as baptized in the Holly Spirit. But, I lingered
in my drug addiction.Before I go any further let me warn the non Christian folks,
you are not off the hook. You can also be saved from
circumstances yet remain trapped in them. I will prove it
a little later. There are many people in the world today
that have been saved from a condition yet remain stuck
in it. You don't believe me, that's fine.I submit to you that there are some people who have been
in abusive relationships. Even though they are out of
the relationship and the abusive party physically lives
hundreds of miles away. They are mentally stuck in a
relationship that has been over for years. They are
still experiencing the pain, the angry and the fear as
though they are still connected to their oppressor.There are people who were told hurtful, humiliating,
negative things as a child that they relive on a
regular basis. They are now adults making evaluations
based on something that may have occurred ten, twenty,
thirty, forty, or fifty years ago. They are making
choices today based on fifty year old emotional data.I was thinking about my childhood several months ago
and I came to a profound revelation. As I looked at some
of things from my past that held me captive. I realized
that as a child I was taught things by well meaning,
loving people who were stuck themselves.So we now come to the million dollar question. How do I
move from saved yet stuck to saved and free? First of
all we must admit we have made mistakes in the past and
we simply have just missed the mark. My pastor Bishop
T.D. Jakes has a wonderful, empowering recipe for dealing
with failures, setbacks, mistakes or what ever tag you
want to use. Bishop Jake's say "you must admit it,
quit it and forget it".True freedom comes from the renewing of your mind.
You must have a life changing transformation. We must
become aware of the false beliefs about ourselves
that we have been holding on to. You must learn to
reject limiting beliefs and only accept empowering
beliefs. The bottom line is. It is you and you alone
that will determine whether you will be stuck or free.
The decision is yours! If you are like me your
transformation may not occur over night. So don't
become discourage with the process. You can do it
step by step!Johnny wants you to know that you are just a step away
from your personal and spiritual transformation in
every area of your life. www.justastepaway.comJohnny Morney is an award winning speaker and published
