Acts 28:5 NKJV
But he shook off the creature into the fire and suffered no harm.
Acts 28:5 NKJV
Paul when he went to pick up some bundle of sticks for the fire and as he put those bundle of sticks into the fire a snake came out which was among the sticks and bit on his hand.
The people who saw him bitten by a snake judged Paul a murderer and evil man who cannot escape judgment of God. But Paul SHOOK OFF the creature into the fire and suffered no harm.
For Paul just to shook it off, go on with what he is doing and suffered no harm, he has to be living in a diferent relm other than the natural relm.
Paul has condition his body to living in a supernatural relm. For the creature may have bitten him but his supernatural state of living denied its natural venom and its poisoning could not poison Paul's conditioned body.
Paul did not give a second tought about the snake bite, he just shook it off what was latching on his hand.
We go through many things in life. Words may have been spoken against us, betrayal, unfairness, lied to and so on but if we hold on to it, its poison will start to travel into our lives and will cause a great harm.
We need to condition our life live in God's truth so that we can shake things off from our lives and just go on with what is ahead of us.
The strength to shook it off our lives dose not come from strengthening our emotions but by strengthening our walk with God. Our walk with will condition our emotions and mind to reject what is poison to our lives.
We must not let anything that is poisonous to latch on to our lives because it will slowly eat his way in and cause harm in relationships and will rob us from what God has intended for us.
Learn to shake things off that is not good, cut things off that do not contribute to walking with God and start conditioning our lives according to God's image and likeness.
Live in the blessings
