God is saying, “Keep Me first place in your life.” When you wake up in the morning, don’t meet with anyone until you first meet with God. Take time to thank Him for the day, thank Him for who He is.
Are you taking time to declare God’s goodness over your life? Are you speaking victory over your future? It’s not enough to do it every once in a while. It needs to become a habit. All through the day declare, "I’m blessed, I’m strong, I’m healthy."
Who can stop the sun from rising each morning? Who can keep light from breaking forth over the horizon? All the forces of darkness cannot stop what God has ordained for you. They cannot keep what He promised from coming to pass.
Be faithful where you are. Honor God with what you have. He’s looking for people that keep doing the right thing when it’s hard, that are passionate for building His kingdom, that don’t let bad breaks cause them to live bitter. I believe that’s you.
God said you are fearfully and wonderfully made, a masterpiece, crowned with favor. Are you calling yourself inferior, weak, not attractive? Start declaring what He promised.
You can win the war within. God is calling you up higher. Whatever you know is holding you back, this is the time to make a change. This is a moment of grace to do what you couldn’t do before.
Start walking by the spirit. Be willing to be uncomfortable, wait with a good attitude, don't give in to the temptation. That’s when you’re growing. That’s when God can trust you with more.
To self:
You can't control how other people receive your energy. Anything you do or say gets filtered through the lens of whatever personal stuff they are going through at the moment. Which is not about you. Just keep doing your thing with as much integrity and Love as possible.
My prayer is, “God, open our eyes. Help us to see what You see, not just a logical point of view but a heavenly perspective. Help us to realize that You are all-powerful, that You are in control, that You are for us.”
If it hasn’t happened yet, then it wasn’t meant to be. Instead of fighting where you are, why don’t you embrace where you are? I can promise you this: God is not going to be one second late. He’s not going to accidentally miss your set time.
God is saying, “I’ve paid the price. Speak to it.” Declare favor. Declare you are blessed. Declare God’s goodness. Those things that are hindering you will begin to supernaturally turn around.
God is going to make up for the sadness. He’s going to pay you back for the sorrow, the hurt. Now get your hopes up. Keep thanking Him that He’s given you favor. Keep declaring, “My Redeemer lives!”
The Scripture says what God has blessed no man can curse. The blessing on you is more powerful than any betrayal, than any negative word spoken over you, than how you were raised, than people trying to discredit you.
