God has already forgiven us. He has given us the Band-Aid to cover the wound but we fail to apply it because we feel like we have done too awful to deserve to even be healed. Are there any real people reading this? As long as we keep our wound exposed, people can affect you, they can constantly remind you of what you used to be and what you used to do and they can pour salt into your wound and in fact they can even advance the initial infection. Understand this, when you come to Christ, there is no condemnation (Romans 8:1), so stop beating yourself up about not being worthy enough because even without the mistake, you still aren't worthy enough. For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. The same people who are talking about you, they too have fallen. They may have not bungee jumped but it does not matter because sin is sin. Forgive yourself, realize that you are worth it, not because of anything you did but because God says so. After you have identified the issue and forgiven yourself, it is MOST important that you make sure you repent. Repentance is not asking for forgiveness, repentance is the act of turning away. What good is it to call the police on an abusive spouse, and then stay with them? Logic says that they are going to probably come back with a greater vengeance when they get released from prison and it will only get worse. When you made the statement that you wanted to be free, you bound up that issue but because you did not leave, because you did not turn away from the issue, you give it the ability to come back into your life. Understand that once we forgive ourselves, let the issue go and repent. We are then at a place where God can use us. Many of us hold and harbor so much, so many times, that we are spiritually paraplegic. We have the gift, even the anointing, but the fact that we close our hands around the issues and grasp them; it means that we are not able to lay hold of what God has for us. In order to be able to grab something, your hands have to be empty. Your hands have to be free! They have got to stop working to form their own devices for success!
See we not only need to let go of our issues but we need to let go of our wills. So many of us are holding on to what we want to do that we are not laying hold of what God wants us to do and we keep wondering why we can't move. Well, plain and simple, if God is not in it, it won't succeed. God is throwing out this lifeline and you are trying to get a hold of it but you are so busy trying to maneuver around your man-made handicap that you are complaining that it is too hard. Then, when you do manage your way on the saver, it gets so uncomfortable that you slip and you have two options, falling to a place that was lower than where you started or freeing your hands of your will, your issues, your problems and fully grabbing hold to Jesus. Let it go, it is time for God to use you. Stop trying to fix it. What’s done is done. Forgive yourself and move on and for the people who are in the latter of the article, your "will" will not override God's, so either get in his or be ready to hit the water real soon.

The secret to achieving goals in theory is simple. It’s believing that you can accomplish them. Then you step out on faith, believing God will provide you with the tools necessary to complete each task. The tools could be money, or just people you need to cross paths with in order to complete the vision. In my career, the first thing I had to understand was that the vision was not mine. One day it hit me. All the trials it took to get where I am now, were stepping stones ordered by God. He allowed me to taste success, and then taste failure. He allowed me to get scammed, and then learn how to prevent such re-occurrences. The journey to achievement is a long, winding, up and down path. There will be caution signs, speed bumps, roadblocks, and even detours. Ultimately, if you stay the course and believe you will arrive at that goal.
