“Fill me up Lord!” Have you heard that statement before? Perhaps you’ve even cried that out yourself. Our mentor always said, “Pour yourself out and the Lord will fill you up!” In our quest for more I think we’ve missed the point. It’s as if we’ve forgotten that the unlimited Christ is already dwelling INSIDE US! This means we can think like Him, talk like Him and act like Him, pouring ourselves out to the world around us!

What picture are you forming your beliefs around—the picture of your past, or the picture of what God says about your possibilities and potential? Don’t allow your past experiences to determine what you believe. Instead, allow God’s Word to transform your mind and heart, and amazing experiences will follow!

All the promises of God are ‘yes’ and ‘amen’ (2 Corinthians 1:20). I walk in the promises of God.  That means I walk with a “YES” in life. I walk with a positive expectation. “Yes, Lord, You promised to heal me – Yes! You promised to provide for me – Yes! You promised to guide me – Yes! You promised me favor wherever I go- Yes!”

What is the world looking for? The world wants some hope. The world wants some dignity. They say, ”Recognize me! Believe in me! I am important! I am valuable to somebody!” Well, I have good news for the world—God loves and values you and believes you are important—so important that He has an amazing plan for your life!

Sense knowledge is not absolute truth, our senses are simply interpreters of what is happening in the natural. The Word of God has already issued judgment on the curse and everything that comes from it—sickness, lack, oppression, depression and the negativity that tries to steal our joy in life.  Our commitment must be to believe what God says instead of what our senses are telling us. Stop accepting those deliveries from the devil!

Matthew 7:11 says, “If you then being evil know how to give goods unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good gifts to them that ask Him?” Not only is God NOT using sickness, disease and lack as a tool to make us learn something, He clearly tells us that He has a great desire to answer our prayers and to meet our needs!

Persist in your God-given dreams and desires, because resistance to your dreams is as normal as gravity is to our atmosphere. It holds everything down, but it doesn’t stop us from flying!

Believe that you have what you asked for when you prayed, thanking and praising God for it NOW, not waiting until you see it. Faith always blows the ram’s horn BEFORE, not after the walls come down!

Until we are willing to give the kind of time and attention to God’s Word that produces change in our thinking, we’ll continue to be swayed by our feelings and the things we see and hear. All the devil heard from the lips of Jesus when tempting Him was “It is written,” and he was powerless against Him. Whose report are you going to believe, the devil’s lies or the report of the Lord?

You are alive and all that is alive has potential. You can begin again if you don’t like who you are or the direction you’re going. It just takes a quality decision and the ability to stop allowing time to dictate to you what you can and can’t achieve. Don’t look back at what might have been—look forward to what can still be!
