Life can be an exciting adventure or a daily grind. Where do you find yourself? Don’t let age rob you of the dreams God has inspired in your heart. Don’t let yesterday limit your tomorrow. Don’t let mediocrity kill your potential! Rediscover your youth!
You can actually enjoy the process of going through tough moments by looking for the good in them. The things you can change, by all means change, but the things you cannot change should not have the ability to dominate your life!
Jesus will walk with you and give you the hope you need. Jeremiah 29:11 says, “’For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’”
Never let someone else tell you who you are! Just as Jesus found Himself in the scriptures, you can find yourself in the scriptures too. And when you do, you will discover who you are and who you are called to be!
If God’s Word says that we are more than conquerors through Christ, then we are. We are not going to become, we already are. We may be experiencing some failures or setbacks in life right now, but only good will come out of our situations because God says that “in all these things we are more than conquerors” (Romans 8:37). We have the victory!
Think about it—how can a human connected to the Creator of heaven and earth ever be without an idea? How can a person with the Spirit who raised Christ from the dead dwelling within them ever feel intimidated by another person or circumstance?
If you get into a boat and just sit there on the river, you’re going to go wherever the current takes you. But if you want to go somewhere new and different, you have to put the paddle in the water and go against the flow!
Jesus is not only with the Christian but He is IN the Christian; yet many are full of fears and worries, gloom and doom—waiting for a bail out by something bigger or “better.” Only when you know and understand Who is both with you and in you, will you will rise to the new levels of confidence to walk in the position of authority you have been given!
The devil has stolen the inheritance of the Body of Christ and is holding it without rightful ownership. Only when you as a believer rise up in your faith to take it back will he be forced to give it back to you. That’s why it is so important to study the Word of God, it’s the “reading of the will” where you discover what is now yours!
Many believers are asking God to do what He already told THEM to do. “Lord, send Your Spirit! Lord, send your angels to save my family! Lord, SEND…” But Jesus told us in the gospels, “As I have been sent SO I SEND YOU….Go into all the world and preach the gospel” (John 20:21; Mark 16:15 author’s emphasis).
