There is nothing...
..There is nothing that I can do.
There is nothing that you can do.
There is nothing that anyone can do, to set you free. They can bury things away, they can bring things up and talk about them and send them away, and then the troubles can come back.
No-one can set you free to the point that you need to be.
No-one can break your chains, rather than just loosen them.
No-one can tell this thing to be gone and have lasting effect.
YOU NEED GRACE.
You need to know that you can do nothing, and God can do everything.
Even if you only know you can do nothing, you're still half way there. Just accept it.
The human race is helpless- Nothing of human doing endures forever. No love, no release, no power, no good, no evil, no NOTHING. There is always a time when it crumbles.
The church has gone so long on human effort. You lift your hands, you talk with the liturgy, you sing the songs, you break the bread and drink the wine, all in one vain attempt to appease God every once a week.
Don't be so ******* foolish!
None of these things can help you, it is better to do nothing. Only when you know you can do nothing, can you do these things in the release that comes from the strength of God flowing through you.
Only when you know that there is no way to reach holiness in order to please God, will we become holy. The only way to reach holiness is to know you are an unholy wretch!
You've spent so long trying. Just give up. That doesn't mean lose hope- have hope, but give up! YOU can't do it. YOU can't help it. YOU can't change it. Not in a lasting way.
Give it up, let it go, take up grace. Stop trying to carry these burdens, and just say, "Lord, help me!" with all your heart, knowing that you can't do it. Knowing that the only lasting release will come from him. Tell him you can't do it, tell him what a state you are in. Be honest. God can not remove the poison from a wound which you keep closed- you need to open up and be healed.
For God's sake, just turn to him. I can't bear it, he can't bear it- you've fallen such a long way but there is still hope. There is ALWAYS hope. But it does not rest in your ability to carry, to solve, or to lighten your burdens. You just can't do it.
You know I'm talking to you. I'm not going to reveal your name because I know you don't want everyone here to know what you're going through.
Matt 10:31 "You are worth more than many sparrows"(NIV)
