Not very many days ago, the Lord gave me a vision during the day.
He showed me what's it's like to be in sin. I haven't shared this before, but what He
showed me was a picture of fishing line tangled up.
I don't know how many of you have been fishing out there,
but when line gets tangled up it can become such a mess
that usually you have to cut the line... You can't get the tangles out - it's sometimes
impossible! And today I took my 5yr old daughter Mary
and my step-son Rodney, he's 14 years old... I took them fishing this afternoon.
We only went out for about an hour or hour and a half,
it's just so hot here...but I saw that vision that the Lord gave me right before my eyes.
Rodney, his line got tangled up and he sat down so frustrated...
you know, unable to get the tangle out... (First I told him to try to do it himself)
He said, John can you get this tangle out??? I told him to come on over and he gave me
his pole and I told him to hold the pole while I work
on the tangle. And...it was pretty tangled up.
It wasn't the worst I've ever seen, but it was pretty bad.
And slowly but surely...actually I was praying as I began
because I know that those tangles are hard to get out.
And I prayed Lord Jesus please help me get this tangle out
and I was just speaking to Him while I was doing it
and slowly but surely the Lord led me and I got the tangle out.
But the Lord has shown me that when you open the door for sin.
When you just let a little bit of compromise in,
you get entangled in the cares of the life... You get entangled with all the lusts of this
world... And as you do you become so entangled,
you become like that fishing line, it seems like it is impossible to get out.
It seems like there is no way to get out of what you're in.
But the Lord has shown me that if you'll put your focus on Him,
if you'll cry out to Him and ask Him to help you
and if you are sincere...He will unravel the mess.
He will severe the line - He will cut you free
from that bondage that you are in. He will cut you free from all these different
vices, all these different addictions, all these
different troubles, fears, doubts, worries...all these different
things. All this sin - He will set you free from it.
And the Lord just showed me today that tangled fishing line
that He gave me a vision of not long ago. I had actually saw it (for real) today (in
the physical). And when He had showed it to me I knew...
It confirmed it in the Spirit to come and share it with you.
Many of you out there right now are tangled in sin
and you don't know how that you're going to get out.
But I tell you (if you will humble yourself) and believe
these words that I'm telling you... Go to Jesus and ask Him to unravel this mess
that you've created. It's not His fault, it's not anyone else's
fault... It's your fault that you are where you're
at right now. Because of the choices that you have made,
is why you are at where you are at right now. But...the Lord He will help you, he will save
you, He will deliver you out of that bondage.
He will untangle the mess that you've put yourself in
if you will trust in Him...If you will believe in Him...
If you will have faith and follow Him... And if you love Him you will obey Him and
He will set you free. And He will make you new.
Go to Jesus. May Jesus bless you.
