Faith is an act of your will. YOU must decide the Word of God is true. It doesn’t work just because God wants it to work, the Word of God works when you put it to work by making the firm decision to believe it is true!
Your identity is your concept of who you are. You’ve been given an identity by God and a name that is above every other name. Declare your God-given identity: “I am healed by the stripes of Jesus!” “I am born into the kingdom of God!” “I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus!”
How do you begin to live a life of consistent results? You can 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!
In order for God to work with us we are going to have to cooperate with Him. If we want to receive total victory and deliverance, it’s not enough to simply KNOW that God understands and cares about us. We must go on from there and DO WHAT HIS WORD SAYS! Cast ALL of our anxieties, ALL of our worries and ALL of our concerns upon Him, for He cares for us!
Why would Christ die on a cross and take my sin if He didn’t have a plan for my success? Everyone should be planning for success, because the One who lives in you by His Spirit defeated your enemy!
The truth is that those things that appear as giants to you are looked upon as NOTHING to God. And because God lives in you, there is defeat in the heart of your enemies who attempt stand in the way of the plans and purposes God desires for your life!
Everywhere we go Jesus goes, because He authorizes us as His followers to go in His name. God is basically saying to us, ”I’m on this journey with you. I’ll never leave you, I’ll never forsake you, and wherever you go I’m ready to go with you, because I am in you!”
If you’re feeling like a panicked disciple out in the middle of the sea in a foundering ship, remember: there is One greater than the stormy seas and He lives inside you! He holds the earth with all of its seas in the palm of His hand! Speak to those storms just as Jesus did, and put your trust in Him to bring you to safe harbor!
If your life seems like a twisting highway, remember that a vehicle has two types of glass surfaces. The smallest one is for looking back, and the big windshield is for looking forward. Keep your eyes focused on that one and you’ll successfully navigate whatever road you’re traveling!
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!
What can you do when you find yourself disconnected with yourself, your dreams, your past, and your family? There is always a way back! You have been left with a letter from heaven; a voice from a place that is unchanging, a book of ideas that are confirmed to all who choose to believe them. Locate yourself in the Bible and preach it to yourself!
