Chapter 6: Uprooting

Uprooting is the uncomfortable process of removing all the problematic people, patterns, practices, that are at the core of our hearts due to trauma, repeated sin, or simply miseducation. It doesn't automatically happen when you believe in Jesus. It is a deliberate and intentional process that you must choose. God has helped me to go through this process and I'm sharing it with you because uprooting is the key to freedom. It is necessary for us to walk in our God Given destiny. You can plant all the good seeds you want to and the tree might even grow but if there are rotten roots that have already corrupted the soil, there NEEDS to be an uprooting. There are seeds of false principles, beliefs, and ideas that society, our upbringing, or our bad decisions have planted in our hearts before we found Christ. The devil is betting on the lazy Christian who will settle for salvation when they were destined for freedom. Salvation comes by grace and grace alone but healing and freedom require you to work out that salvation with fear and trembling so that you can uproot those toxic ideas that lie at the foundation of your faith.
