Have you ever noticed that some things happen to you over and over for a long period of time? Let's say you've had relationship patterns repeat themselves, or your job issues tend to be the same no matter the job change, and you only notice it when it happens again. If you have, then you understand just how annoyingly time consuming these experiences are and just how much they keep you in a stagnant location. It's like walking a path that keeps leading you back to the exact same location. What do we call it? -A trap, we've seen it in the movies but guess what your life is the movie and you are the character. This is actually a serious issue because it can keep you at one level in your life for a very long time. Obviously you'd much rather be growing in life.
If this is your predicament don't feel bad just yet, it has actually happened in ancient and bible times so you're not the first and probably won't be the last. Let's take a look at God's people -the Israelites- who were made to wonder in the wilderness for 40 years. So they went in circles but what was God's real purpose for allowing this to happen to the people He loved so much, when there was a much shorter way? They needed to learn a few things, they needed to 'GROW' some more but most of all because of their disobedience to God, they didn't get to experience the land He had promised of milk and honey. (Joshua 5:6.)
Are we going to allow the devil to repeat our mistakes and our bad habits to keep us in bondage that will keep us from the 'land of milk and honey?' God promises in John 10:10 that He sent his son so that we can have life and to have it in full, abundance and ENJOY it! So anything contrary to this is not a part of God's plan for us and must be dealt with.
Thus, when you find yourself having that moment where you recognize you are fighting something you thought you conquered or overcame in your past, reflect for a moment and create a timeline; has this happened before? How many times have you gone through this very same issue? Identify it for what it is-a cycle-any complete runs or series of occurrences that repeats or is repeated. Then Decide how much more of it you want to tolerate. Know that this isn't God's plan for you and make a conscious decision to break this cycle over your life. Ask God to show you the lesson you need to learn and learn it. Then get mad, get 'fed up', and BREAK it over your life through the power of God is it very possible.
Too many people are living in bondage within themselves, repeating their life's mistakes and wallowing in a cycle. It is time to step out in 2018, the year of New Beginnings. Claim your freedom NOW! In the name of Jesus, I declare that every cycle holding you hostage shall be broken!!! Declare it, believe it and receive it!
