Drop That Thought

• And how many times have I been drowning in my mind and in my life because of the thought that I wouldn’t drop about my situation? How many times have I clung to an offense while I’m drowning in my bitterness and I am asking God to help me forgive but if I don’t drop Let me do it again. If I don’t drop the thought I drown.
• That’s what I’m trying to say. Now I said it the way I want to say it. Tell your neighbor, “Drop it or drown.” That’s the only two options you have right now because you can’t afford to play around with this right now because there’s too much at stake at this juncture of your life right now. It’s drop it or drown.
• You’ve got to stop thinking childishly about this and waiting on people to come around and make it right. And you just got to get your heart right with God. And you’ve got to let him show you what he’s going to do from the place that you’re at, not the place that you wanted to be. Punch your neighbor. Say, “Drop it. Drop it so you don’t drown.
• Drop it so you don’t keep sinking. Drop it so it doesn’t weigh you down. Drop it so you don’t miss the last the next season that God wants to give you, crying about the season that you lost. You better drop this thing.” And and and the thing about dropping a thought is it’s kind of hard for me to drop my thought until I understand that God can also drop a thought.
• This is one thing I’m ready to preach today. This is one thing that me and God have in common. We can both drop thoughts. I can take a thought in my mind. I can take a tempting thought. I can take a a a bitter thought. I can take an angry thought. I can take a victimized thought. I can take a catastrophizing thought.
• I can take a wicked thought. I can take a thought and I can look at it and I can separate myself from the thought. And by the grace of Jesus, by the grace of God, by the power of the Holy Spirit, I can look at the thought and realize that just because I think it doesn’t mean I have to be it. So, I can drop a thought. How dumb would it be for you to drown on this sea because of something you won’t drop? How dumb would it be? The Bible says, “Forsake your thoughts when they’re not God’s ways.” His ways are higher.
• So when he shows you the higher way, don’t stay down in the way you did it, the way they did it, the way you thought you were going to do it. Drop your thoughts so God can drop his. What you mean God can drop a thought? I mean like airdrop. I mean like how I could take my phone and put it next to your phone and if it’s near enough, you can choose to share with me what’s on your phone, on my phone.
• Right? If we are close enough to connect, you can drop something to me that I didn’t come with. And now you know why it was important for you to be at church today so you could get close to God and close to somebody. Fist bump your neighbor and say, “I’ll drop you some faith today.” Fist bump them real quick and say, “I got something for you.
