Shake It Off

"But he shook off the creature into the fire and suffered no harm." Acts 28:5 NKJV

Apostle Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, when a viper came out because of the heat, and fastened on his hand. Paul was not in any way terrified, he simply shook off the creature into the fire, and he suffered no harm. The people who saw what happened kept watching him, expecting that he would swell up or suddenly fall down dead. But after they had looked for a long time and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god! Haha! Hallelujah!

What has fastened itself on you? Sickness? Disease? A sore? Poverty and lack? Pain? What's that thing that has been on you, whether on your hands, legs, chest, your body, your mind; that is making you uncomfortable, making life miserable for you, making you have sleepless nights?

Do you know that it doesn't have to be on you? Do you know that it has no right to be on you? Do you know that it has no power at all over you? Do you know that it can be off your life if you command it to get off? Do you know that you can be free of it in less than an hour? Yes! When I used to be sick, I would get up in faith and go and play football, and the sickness would vanish! I shook sickness off my body! That was over twelve years ago! You too can exercise your faith today, and just shake whatever shouldn't be there, off into the fire! Amen.
