Enough Is Enough!!!

Dudes and dudettes, enough is enough. "What are you talkin' 'bout, Willis? A lot of us are in situations, relationships, habits, belief systems, and attitudes for an extended period of time. We're basically stuck in a tunnel of madness and have become comfortable. There's an old saying that when we lay down with dogs we come up with fleas. Thank God we have products available to eliminate fleas out of our skins (and our pets, too). However, we stay in a position laden by the fleas of our lives. We stay in jacked up relationships with people who physically, emotionally, spiritually, and mentally abuse us. Every time we're trying to do something productive, these people always got to open their mouth of negativity. All of a sudden, we're chained down in depression. It's so sad. We're stuck in situations where God continually makes ways of escape out of the cage but we stay there. A lot of us are still performing habits that are wrecking our present as well as future lives like greed, cheating, lying, adultery, bitterness, lust, and hatred. A lot are still believing these lies men have taught us (that go against the perfect will of God) and we're wondering why American society is what it is today. A lot of us are still got bad attitudes ranging from treating others with little to no respect to living as conniving wolves. Yeah, I said it. I said all that to say this. It's time for a change, not Obama's type of change that's throwing punches at God but God's kind of change that first changes the heart then the rest (Peace to John "The Tonic" K. Wells from Cross Movement). Yeah, I said that, too. We'll continue to be in these places in our lives until we say enough is enough out of our own mouths and seek God to help us do some rearrangements. Like growing up, cutting away people, places, things, belief systems, habits, and attitudes is going to hurt like crazy. I know this for myself but it's needed. To be honest with you all, I'm tired of some my own attitudes, situations, belief systems, and even relationships that don't do me no kind of good. One thing I've learned from Jesus is that when you're going to do something, you better do it all the way. Now, that's what I love about Him, He does things with completion in mind. Before I close this thing down, I'd like to show you from scripture how it's not a sin for us to get frustrated with something not right and do something about it the right way. The Apostle Paul, regarded as one of the top writers in our world's history, visited a certain place alongside Silas. For a period of time, there was girl nagging the both of them. She kept saying, OMG, there's Paul and Silas, two great men-d of God (for all you church folk who love to say this). She kept saying this on top of other things and Paul got fed up. Deep inside, he knew she was mocking them and was trying to hinder him from going somewhere in life. So one day, he turned his frustration into something meaningful that would not only free him but the girl possessed with a devil, and later on a jailer who was about to commit suicide. He said through his authority and trusting in Christ in a paraphrased street dream version, enough is enough! It's time for us to live peacefully, meaning we are freeing ourselves from things and people that are dragging us down. All it takes is believing God's word and be willing to take that step of faith. It's time for us to live and be happy as my dad would say. Enough is enough with the lies! Enough is enough for all our frustrations! Enough is enough with Satan reigning in our lives like he's a god! Enough is enough trusting in men whose intentions are to strip us of experiencing life to the fullest (that's pleasing to God, of course). Enough is enough with the pride monster that thinks we can do what we want without correction or consequence! I myself have had it with pettiness, excuses, and bondage! Enough is enough, so what about you?

Peace and blessings, dgwo
