Matthew 24:19 - the Lord gave me this when I sat down to read the Word tonight.
"But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!"
Jesus had been speaking of the end times,and how when you see the devil stand in the holy place in the tabernacle (v. 24:15), then you are to flee and get away as fast as you can without ever looking back.
But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!
Because being pregnant or nursing an infant will weigh you down and you cant get away as fast - you have to FLEE and escape far away as fast as you can, and you cant run very fast when youre carrying a baby.
At a certain time in your life, its not time to be holding on to a dream. Its time to RUN and farsake all the possessions in your house, and forsake the field youve been working on, and run for your life. Its time to run for your life when you see the devil standing where God should be! When you see the devil standing in the holy place in the tabernacle; when you see in yourself in the holy place of the temple of God that the devil is there, its time to forsake everything and run to the Lord. If you see any evil in yourself, just run! He will deliver you and change you.
Dont let anything weigh you down or hold you back. The situation is urgent. Forsake your possessions, your clothes, just run to Him!
edit: ** I think maybe a little more elaboration on this is needed -
there are some seasons in your life where you will be in "run" mode or going full blast, so to speak - at your job, youll be in full blast. At home, youll be in "run" mode or full blast. In the ministry, you'll be in "run" mode or going "full blast; i.e. throwing your all into trying to get somewhere as fast as you can. And someone who is worried about their OWN interests is going to be slowed down and not go as fast. Sometimes its time to LET GO and just run with where God is taking you, no matter if you have to leave behind everything in order to do so.
