“Jesus said If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you” Luke 17:6.
It is time for you to accept personal responsibility for your inward or outward condition. Don’t blame anyone for all your attitudes, and acknowledge that there is something inside you that needs to be removed! Jesus said you must speak to that “sycamine tree” and tell it to go! If you don’t speak to your emotions, they will speak to you. If you don’t take authority over your emotions, they will take authority over you. If you don’t rise up and conquer your flesh, it will rise up and conquer you! So quit letting your emotions tell you what to think, what to do, and how to react. It’s time for YOU to do the talking and to take command of your own thought life!
You have to treat bitterness, resentment, and unforgiveness like they are enemies that have come to corrupt your soul. You must see them as bandits that have come to steal your joy, your peace, and your relationships. Would you throw open the door and allow a bandit to ravage your home? Of course not! In addition to using all the power available to you for removing that bandit, you’d probably command him to get out of your house! And I seriously doubt that you would whisper at him; most likely you would yell and scream as you order him out!
Likewise, you must decide not to tolerate this spiritual pestilence any longer, not even for a second. It’s time for you to raise your voice of authority and declare to these attitudes that they will no longer dominate you. And if you must, speak to these attitudes and command them to go again and again and again and again and again—until they are finally uprooted and removed forever! You have to go for the roots! If you want to be free, it’s going to take an attitude that says, “I’m going to get to the roots of this beast and yank them clear out of my soul, and I’m not going to stop until I’m totally free!”
