Negative thoughts are going to come, but the Scripture says, âPut a watch over your mouth.â Thereâs not a giant in your path that He canât bring down. Heâs armed you with strength for every battle.
Deal with the issues God brings to light. Let Him develop you. Do the right thing when itâs hard, keep a good attitude when people are not treating you right, go the extra mile when nobody is watching.
The blessing doesnât come by itself. The question is not, "Can you handle the blessing?" The question is, "Can you handle the persecution?" Can you handle being misunderstood, talked about, left out?
Itâs good to ask for yourself, but when youâre asking for someone else, when you take a stand for those that canât stand, when youâre kingdom-minded and not just me-minded, God will show out in your life.
You have nothing to prove. Donât get distracted by the negative chatter, people that discount you. When your motives are right, and you need to see favor, you need a breakthrough, God will step in and make things happen that you couldnât make happen.
Great faith activates great favor. Donât go around with weak faith, little faith, doubting faith, complaining faith. Get out of your box. Start believing for bigger things. Itâs not that God is limited, Heâs all-powerful, but we can limit Him by our small thinking.
The delays, closed doors, people that walked away, were necessary. It was setting you up for this moment. The delay doesnât mean that God said no; it just wasnât the right time.
The Scripture says, âEverything serves His plan.â Weâre not going to understand everything that happens, but faith says, âGod, this doesnât make sense to me, but I trust You. I know itâs serving Your plan.â Nothing happens without Godâs permission.
You may be in the middle of a setback, in the middle of a silent season, in the middle of mourning, that is not the end. God has a flourishing finish for you. He hasnât brought you this far to leave you. Your greatest victories are not behind you; theyâre in front of you.
Sometimes weâre waiting for these big miracles, but there are miracles in the mundane. The fact that youâre alive is a miracle. You have people in your life to love; thatâs a miracle. Donât miss the moment because it looks common.
You may be outnumbered. What youâre up against may be stronger, more experienced, but donât worry, you and God are a majority. Nothing can stand against our God.
Donât waste your time trying to change your criticâs mind. Donât argue with people that donât matter. What they think of you is not going to stop your destiny. Their opinion is not going to keep you from your purpose.
Could use emergency prayers for my cousin Frankie. He was rushed to the Hospital with His Blood Sugar Levels above 800⊠which anything around that level is basically a coma level. Apparently he is at a critical stage right now.
You donât have to perform better for God to approve you. Heâs already said, youâre my beloved son, my beloved daughter, in whom I am well pleased.
