There is nothing that controls your personal life more than what you believe. Your feelings are the fruit of your thoughts. If you are feeling stuck in life, or are having negative feelings and emotions in an area, ask yourself what you have been believing about those things. Why? Because if our thoughts aren’t agreeing with what God says about it, we are believing a lie. God’s Word brings life!

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!”

Let’s allow ourselves to dream and recognize that God does not limit us. Yes, He directs us and empowers us to fulfill His will and each one of us has a destiny. BUT NEVER ALLOW the misguided, judgmental statements of people around you to restrict you from being all that you can be!

It is amazing to think that we are no longer pawns in the hands of fate. We are no longer driven by winds of circumstance, people whims, or popular propaganda. We are at the fate of our own words. Jesus has voted YES for us. While we were sinners, He laid down His life and took the penalty of sin in our place. The devil has voted against us, and WE are casting the deciding vote by the words that are continually coming out of our mouths!

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!

Romans 8:11 tells us that the power of the Holy Spirit that dwells in our own spirits as believers was sufficient to raise Christ from the dead! Meditate on that truth, and make the conscious decision to allow that power to move into every part of your physical body with the life of God that overcomes every sickness and disease!

We may see the multitudes of people in the world in many ways. Some of those ways can make us want to condemn them, but Jesus always sees people as a beautiful, precious harvest, ready to be gathered. A harvest has several characteristics: it is valuable, it must be gathered or it will be lost, and it is URGENT. Time moves quickly and then the opportunity is gone.  “I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work” (John 9:4).

The world is hungry to see a living Jesus who will confirm His Word with signs following, proving He is the same today as He was 2,000 years ago. The world sees enough of the devil, it’s time for God’s people to manifest! “For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the manifestation of the sons of God” (Romans 8:19).

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!
