Cut if off...

I was all set to finish chapter 17, but God directed me to talk about the root of the problem.

In the song In the Room with Maverick City and singer Tasha Cobb, she talks about cutting off branches, but she needed to get to the root of the problem.

I recently had the same revelation about cutting off branches but needed to cut off the root.

What have you been trying to cut off? 

Is it just the branches or the root?

Do you know the root of the branches?

The example in the song was depression was the branches.

but the root of the problem was rejection. 

Only by cutting off the root will what you need to cut off be cut off.

9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9 ASV

Confess therefore your sins one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The supplication of a righteous man availeth much in its working. James 5:16

If the root of the problem is not cut off, we will be plagued with pain and heartache, we will have a frustrated mind and body, we will have a body that cannot go any further, or a body and mind that feels defeated.

Cut off the root today!!!
