As parents we shape the future of our children through our words. Why not shape our own future with the very words we speak? Today choose to speak words of life and healing over yourself!

When we know and understand our exalted position, seated in heavenly places in Christ, we will identify more with the Christ who walked out of the tomb than with the Christ who died on the Cross!

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 the author of sickness and disease, not only is God NOT using sickness as the tool in His hand, but He clearly tells us that He has a great desire to answer our prayers and to meet our needs!

When Peter walked on the water, he may have been surrounded by gale force winds and waves, but it didn’t matter as long as his eyes were focused on Jesus and his mind remained controlled and untroubled. We can only control what we see and what we think. If we live our lives circumstance-driven we will never see the results of faith that we desire!

Many fail to receive what God has already given to them because they believe what their natural senses and other people tell them, instead of believing what God tells them in His Word!

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!

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!
