Men who want to gain strength usually pride themselves on how much weight they can lift. It takes a lot of muscle strength to lift many pounds of weight. However, in My Kingdom you do not gain spiritual strength when you try to carry the heavy weights of unconfessed sin and worldly cares.
My Word exhorts believers to lay aside the sins that so easily beset them. I urged you also to cast every care upon Me. When you do these two things, you will be able to press into Me with a heart that is unhindered by the daily things that weigh you down.
Daily have a heart to heart talk with Me and give Me every burden and care. I perfect those things that are a concern to you. Also ask My Holy Spirit to search your heart to reveal anything you need to confess to Me. Remember that confession is simply agreeing with Me about some area of sin in your life. I have already forgiven you for all of your sins past, present, and future. However, when you are honest with Me about your sins, I am able to strengthen you to resist Satan when he tempts you in those areas.
