How do you begin to live a life of consistent results? Begin with your thoughts! Fill the treasure chest of your mind with the truth and expectation from God’s Word, instead of the thoughts of fear and dread the world is continually trying to infect you with. When you make a practice of this, life will begin to look as bright on the outside as you are making it on the inside!
God believes in us and has entrusted us with His Gospel. He believes we can communicate to the world, and He believes we have the stuff to overcome all obstacles and devils! Do YOU believe it?
The Word of God is the truth, so it must be our standard as the absolute truth we live by. No matter how different the natural facts may appear, the reality is that God’s Word IS and ALWAYS WILL BE the final and absolute truth in every situation!
If you are a believer and are being stalked by fear, you must turn around and face that fear and say, “In the Name of JESUS, fear, YOU LEAVE ME NOW! You have no control over me because my heavenly Father’s arms are wrapped around me and He has saved me, delivered me, and set me free!”
The things you give attention to will grow and become stronger, and what you don’t pay attention to will diminish. If the giants in your life feel like they’re about to crush you, it’s time to adjust your focus over to the Word of God, and Jesus Christ, the giant slayer that lives in you!
In the days we’re currently living in, it’s vitally important to understand that Satan has NO power! The only so-called power he has is what we relinquish to him when we believe his lies over the Word of the Living God!
The disturbances and confusion of the world is not a call to a monastic life, but rather a call to a higher thought life. Our victory is not found in fleeing the pressures of a secular world, but in keeping our thoughts in line with God’s thoughts in the midst of Satan’s bombardment.
Changing your location has nothing to do with your prosperity. It’s possible to be poor in a wealthy society, and it’s also possible to prosper in a poor society. You can prosper in the midst of adverse conditions where everyone else is failing, just as Isaac did when he obeyed the Lord! “Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the Lord blessed him. The man began to prosper, and continued prospering until he became very prosperous” (Genesis 26:12-13).
Those things that have limited you in your body, your background or your relationships may have made you believe that your future is limited. But I want to let you know that if Jesus is your Lord, your future has NO LIMITS!
Regardless of how uncertain things may appear looking into the year ahead, it is imperative that we stay strong in the face of adversity, and KNOW THAT THE GOODNESS OF GOD RESTS UPON US! Now more than ever, take the time to grow in intimacy with Him through His Word and prayer, and experience both His love for you and His reassuring hand upon you. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
