When you can say, “God, this is what I’m believing for, this is what I’m hoping will happen, but God, even if it doesn’t work out my way, I’m still going to give You praise, I’m still going to be good to others, I’m still going to pursue my dreams.” That kind of attitude gets God’s attention. You’re saying, “God, not my will but let Your will be done.”
Ask God to come into that difficulty. “Lord, thank You that You’re with me in this battle with my health. You’re with me in this struggle with addiction, You’re with me in this loss, in this trouble at work.” When you ask Him to come in, you’re going to feel His presence in a new way.
When you start declaring His promises, when you start speaking what He says about you. Not only is faith going to rise in your heart, but it’s going to change your perspective.
God sees what you’re going through. He knows the hurt, who did you wrong, what wasn’t fair. God never brings you out the same. He makes the enemy pay for bringing the trouble.
Listen to this message from Joel! "I Will Not Fear": https://t.co/KpspxxmnN3
The enemy would love for us to get stuck: stuck in fear, stuck in anxiety, stuck letting negative images play. Those images may come, but you have to cast down the wrong imaginations. Don’t let them keep playing. When fear comes, switch over to faith.
You’re not here by accident. God chose you to be here at this time in history. He raised you up for this time. Nothing that’s happened is too much for you. You are armed with strength for this battle.
Start thanking God that He’s fighting your battles. Start shining where you are, being your best despite the difficulties. Don’t wait till it changes; you have to invite God in before He’ll bring you out.
3 years ago today, Crayon and the ultimate Sabi Girl, Ayra Starr, dropped their smash-hit collaboration "Ngozi". The track instantly hijacked the airwaves, became a certified national wedding anthem, and gave us one of Ayra’s most flawlessly delivered, infectious verses to date. A modern pop classic. 🪐🎶🔥
