I like to start with something funny and I heard about this lady. She surprised a burglar in her kitchen late one night.

She was home alone, didn't have any weapon, didn't know what she'd do. Finally, she thought I'll just say a scripture verse.

She shouted out Acts 238. The burglar suddenly froze in his tracks, wouldn't move.

Soon the police arrived and they were amazed that a woman with no weapon could do this.

They said to the burglar, what was it about that scripture that had such an effect on you? He said scripture, what scripture?

I thought she said she had an Acts in 238.

Hold your Bible up, say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do.

Today I will be taught the Word of God. I'll boldly confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive, I will never be the same.

In Jesus name, God bless you.

I want to talk to you today about drop it. We all have had negative things happen to us.

People did us wrong, the company laid us off, a clerk was rude to us. It's easy to go through life offended in self pity,

blame in others, blame in ourselves, even blame in God.

Because we are always looking back, we are living the negative, we end up carrying around all this baggage that weighs us down.

One of the best things we can learn to do is drop it, let it go.

Whether it happened 20 years ago or 20 minutes ago, don't carry negative baggage from yesterday into today.

You won't live a victorious life if you are always reliving what didn't work out, who hurt you, the mistakes you made.

The reason it's called the past is because it's over, it's done, it's history, now do your part and let it go.
