Let Go


The following is a very meaningful story, which is called "Let Go", and written by Dr. Billy Graham.

A little child was playing one day with a very valuable vase. He put his hand into it and could not withdraw it. His father too, tried his best, but all in vain. They were thinking of breaking the vase when the father said, "Now, my son, make one more try. Open your hand and hold your fingers out straight as you see me doing, and then pull."

To their astonishment the little fellow said, "O no, father. I couldn't put my fingers out like that, because if I did I would drop my penny."

Smile, if you will--but thousands of us are like that little boy, so busy holding on to the world's worthless penny that we cannot accept liberation. I beg you to drop the trifle in your heart. Surrender! Let go, and let God have His way in your life.

“Can’t be both at once”

This has been a true story of my life. Several years I was a porn addict. Just like that kid in the vase. I would not let go.

Even though I know this was wrong I could not let go. So I tried to compromise to be both. Study the Bible pray and be a giving person. Yet I was still into my own sin of porn. That I kept as a secret. One minute you would see me watching Church on TV and the next moment on the bus to the adult video stores. I kept saying God I will stop. This is the last time. But it did not work.

Just as the father told his son to straighten your hands let that penny go just the same I would not let go to watch these movies. I thought I could be both. And maybe God will balance this that I study pray and do good things. But really in truth these movies made my mind very perverse. The graphics was very extreme to my taste. . Should I have known since looking on these boxes of some of the production makers? Some such as Evil Empire and Devils isn’t that clue enough? But I try to reason with God. I’m not doing this for the Devil.

In the midst of things my apartment got hit with Demons. Yes I was really into this. They started playing with lights. I seen image of these demons in my apartment. I did not know Porn could get someone in this much trouble.

Spirits like to attach to evil things. It’s not just Ouija boards. Adult movies are another drugs is another abusive alcohol is another. When we do these things we’re not alone Satan is right there with the Demons who hangs out with us when we do these sins. I had to get rid of these movies. The Demons left. Don’t get in trouble like I did. Let go or you will be in trouble. Again demonic spirits love to attach on our sins. And as long as we hold on to them they will stick around. And God will know who are friends are. Satan and the demons know when we’re into these things. I have stopped now. I even want these places closed down including closing down strip bars. Yet I can’t legally do anything. They are able to stay in business to ruin other people’s lives and even their own. It’s a devil playground. Get off his playground and follow the Lord. It’s not easy. Things tempting I know I was an addict. But it’s not worth it. Stop and let go.

My down fall is smoking cigarettes. I've tried to quit many times and failed. This time I have god to help me. I'm doing great and soon I'll stop all together. But I won't forget that God help me to see the Light.
