TELL HELL NO

You don’t have a choice! You’ve lost enough, you’ve paid enough, you’ve waited long enough.  It’s time to tell hell, No!
 
This weight is not going to let go of you beloved, you’re going to have to let go of it, you’re going to have to give the hurt back to them, you’re going to have to forgive for your soul’s sake and, you’re going to love you enough to walk by faith out of yesterday, yester-them and yester-doubt.
 
Drop this in your spirit: “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit” (Romans 15:13).  The you that can walk through fire, the you that can do all things through Christ who strengthens you, has to hope right if you’re going to think right and fight right beloved.
 
Hope says, I’m not putting joy on hold to get in somebody’s line to wait for an apology that won’t come.  Hope says, my destiny is too important to burn down my emotional house to keep my history warm.  Hope says, that was then and this is now.  Hope says, God does not put anything we need for our destiny in our history.  Hope says, what God has for you is for you, you are enough, you are OK even if you don’t feel OK right now.  Hope says, I cannot lose anything that God did not intend for me to win with. Hope says, no man can close a God door — and no devil in hell can stop you from having what God said you could have.
 
This is your breakout.  This is your time to refocus and release.  Drying our eyes and wiping away yesterday is not always easy but we must (Psalm 30:5). Letting go of what we wanted and grabbing hold of what God is doing is not always easy but we must (Isaiah 43:19).  Pushing ahead when we cannot see where we’re going is uncomfortable but the hope in you has to stand up and tell hell “No,” because this is not how your story is going to end” (Psalm 23:4).
 
When you hope right, wrong people won’t fit right.  When you hope right, holding on to what’s killing you won’t agree with you.  When you hope right, you cannot sit in that mess and wonder if it’s God’s will.  When you hope right, you will say goodbye while some people are still talking!  When you hope right, you cannot accept defeat.
 
You have it in you to do what you have to do to rise up beloved. Walk and bleed if you have to but tell hell, No.  Cry and crawl out if you have to but tell hell, No.  Everything that God has for you is right on the other side of telling hell, No!  It’s your story, it’s your life, it’s your time to forgive you for not knowing then what you know now.  It’s your time to get back up and fight for joy that comes from doing right by you.  Grace looks so good on you!
 
Tell hell, No! Tell the enemy not this time and not today (James 4:7)!  He cannot have your promise, he cannot have your potential, he cannot have your dream, he cannot have your family, he cannot have your joy! This is a new day, a new you and you’re activating the word: “But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint” (Isaiah 40:31).
 
Write down what’s holding you down.  Pray over it and loose it!  Ball that piece of paper up and throw it outside in the garbage.  Refuse to pick it back up again, refuse to talk to it again, refuse to let it define you again, refuse to let it dictate what your future is going to be and refuse to let it tell you what’s impossible for you, your life or your family (2 Corinthians 10:5).  Believe it, speak it, expect it and walk it — and this giant will fall.
 
Doors are opening, connections are being sent and, divine wisdom and restoration are on the way.  Your lifetime love is coming to love you like your season love never could.  It’s time to put hope in the promise that all things work together for your good, and that God is standing behind you with the full weight of His glory.  The bible says, “For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways” (Psalms 91:11). 
 
Jesus already covered it with the blood beloved!  You aren’t what happened, you are what happens when you reach down deep in your soul and tell hell, No!
 
 
Share and be blessed.
