Brewed Expectancy: Dropping the Dead Weight

🔥Sip & Share the Real Tea: How to Drop the Dead Weight & Break Every Chain

Many of us want to break free, but we don’t always know how to do it. We hear people say, "Let it go," but what does that really mean? How do we drop dead weight and break chains that have been holding us for so long?

Step 1: Identify What’s Keeping You Bound 🔗

Before you can break free, you have to name the chains that are holding you back. Ask yourself:
✅ What thoughts or beliefs keep replaying in my mind that are not from God?
✅ What relationships drain my spirit instead of strengthening it?
✅ What habits do I keep returning to even though I know they’re unhealthy?
✅ Where in my life am I feeling stuck?

📖 Hebrews 12:1 tells us to "throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles." You cannot fight an enemy you refuse to acknowledge. Be honest with yourself.

🚨 Here is the Real Tea: Some of us are walking around carrying weights that aren’t ours to carry. We’re holding onto guilt, pain, and expectations that God never assigned to us. It’s time to release it.

Step 2: Speak Life & Break the Lies 🗣️

One of the biggest chains people battle is the mind. The enemy will whisper:
❌ "You’re not good enough."
❌ "You’ll never change."
❌ "You’re too far gone."

🔥 But Proverbs 18:21 says, "The power of life and death is in the tongue." You must replace the lies with God’s truth.

✅ "I am more than a conqueror through Christ" (Romans 8:37).
✅ "I am fearfully and wonderfully made" (Psalm 139:14).
✅ "I am a new creation in Christ" (2 Corinthians 5:17).

💡 Transformation Tip: Every time a negative thought comes up, speak a scripture over yourself. Your words shape your freedom.

Step 3: Cut Ties with What No Longer Serves You ✂️

Not everyone and everything can go where God is taking you.

🚨 Hard Truth: Some of us stay stuck because we are clinging to what God already told us to release.

📖 Isaiah 43:18-19 says, "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past."
God is saying, Stop looking back! Stop returning to what I already freed you from!

🔥 How to Cut Ties & Drop Dead Weight:
✅ Block the number. Stop entertaining people who only bring confusion.
✅ Create new habits. Replace unhealthy cycles with God-centered routines.
✅ Unfollow accounts that bring negativity. What you feed your mind affects your spirit.
✅ Pray for supernatural strength. You don’t have to do this alone—God will help you.

Step 4: Forgive & Let Go of the Pain 💔➡️💖

Unforgiveness is one of the heaviest weights we carry. Holding onto past hurts is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to suffer.

📖 Ephesians 4:31-32 says, "Get rid of all bitterness… forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you."

🔥 How to Forgive & Heal:
✅ Pray for the person who hurt you (even when it’s hard).
✅ Write a letter of release (you don’t have to send it—just get it out).
✅ Ask God to heal the wound and soften your heart.

🚨 Remember: Forgiveness isn’t about letting them off the hook—it’s about freeing YOU.

Step 5: Make Room for the New Thing 🙌🏽☕

If you’re expecting God to pour fresh blessings, you have to make space for them.

📖 Philippians 3:13-14 reminds us, "Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal."

🔥 How to Prepare for the Pour:
✅ Pray daily & declare freedom over your life.
✅ Surround yourself with people who uplift & hold you accountable.
✅ Take action—start walking in the direction of your breakthrough.

☕ The Real Tea (Truths to Hold On To)

📖 John 8:36 – If Jesus set you free, act like it. Walk in your freedom.
📖 Hebrews 12:1 – Identify and remove what’s weighing you down. Dead weight hinders destiny.
📖 Isaiah 43:18-19 – You can’t receive new blessings if you’re still holding onto old baggage.
📖 Proverbs 18:21 – Your words shape your freedom. Speak life, not death.
📖 Philippians 3:13-14 – Stop looking back. Press forward.

🔥 Final Brew: If you want God to fill your cup, you must empty out what’s draining it. The pour is coming—but you must prepare to receive it.

☕🔥Closing Prayer🔥☕

Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts open, hands lifted, and spirits expectant. Today, we do not just hear this Word—we step into action. We recognize that freedom requires intentional movement, obedience, and surrender. So today, we don’t just talk about breaking chains—we BREAK THEM.

🔥 We bind every stronghold, every weight, and every distraction that has kept us stagnant.
🔥 We loose divine clarity, strength, and a supernatural ability to walk in our freedom.
🔥 We declare that our past will not dictate our future.
🔥 We decree that our season of waiting will not be wasted—it will be a time of preparation for what’s coming.
🔥 We proclaim that every dead weight, every toxic attachment, and every negative cycle is severed in Jesus’ name.

Lord, Your Word says in John 8:36, "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." Today, we receive that freedom. We refuse to be bound by old relationships, unhealthy habits, negative self-talk, or limiting beliefs. We refuse to stay connected to what You have already told us to let go of.

Now, Father, guide us as we walk this out. We don’t just want a moment of motivation—we want lasting transformation. Show us how to take each step with purpose so we can truly drop the dead weight and prepare for the fresh outpouring.

Lord, help us recognize every chain—whether it’s toxic relationships, fear, bad habits, or limiting beliefs. Reveal to us what needs to go. Give us wisdom and discernment to see what has been slowing us down.

Father, we renounce every lie spoken over us—whether from our past, our family, or our own self-doubt. We replacethe lies with Your truth:
✅ We are more than conquerors (Romans 8:37).
✅ We are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14).
✅ We are NEW creations in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17).

Give us the strength to walk away from people, habits, and places that no longer align with where You are taking us. We pray for boldness to block numbers, unfollow negativity, stop engaging in toxic cycles, and break generational patterns. Let us not hesitate to leave behind what no longer serves us.

Lord, help us release bitterness, disappointment, and past hurts. We refuse to carry emotional baggage into this next season. We pray for supernatural healing in every area where we’ve been wounded. Give us the grace to forgive—even when the apology never comes.

Father, help us fill the space that dead weight occupied with prayer, worship, faith-filled relationships, and divine strategy. 

🚀 We declare that we are not who we used to be—our identity is in Christ.
🚀 We decree that we are not bound by what happened to us—we are stepping into something greater.
🚀 We declare that every chain of fear, doubt, and delay is BROKEN.
🚀 We decree that we will make space for what God is preparing for us.
🚀 We declare that we are walking in a season of fresh revelation, divine appointments, and supernatural favor.

Lord, we are ready. The pour is coming, and this time, we’re prepared to receive it. In Jesus’ mighty name, AMEN!
