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!
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!
With an attitude of gratitude, we can soar to the heights where new hope, new strength and new life are found. Today, let’s celebrate and be thankful for the SIMPLE things of life no matter how insignificant they may seem!
You may look at yourself and think, “this is the way I am because this is how I have always been,” but the secret to a new life is as simple as changing the facts. Change the information going in, and you will change the results coming out.
You CAN begin again if you don’t like who you are or the direction you are headed. It takes a quality decision and the ability to throw away the clock and calendar. Don’t look at what might have been, look at what can still be!
God gave each of you an important job regardless of your employment status. He gave the preacher AND the stay-at-home parent the same honor of using His name to go to the masses. He puts a value on life that no other religion or philosophy could have imagined. Are you seeing more than your own little world?
Train your thoughts on JESUS! Change your words to what GOD says! The scriptures are clear, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7 NIV).
