When God is ready to turn it around, no person can stop him, no sickness, no addiction, no trouble. What God has purposed for your life will come to pass.
God knows how to take you from the back to the front, from being overlooked to standing out, from working in those fields, like Ruth, to owning those fields. You are coming into a turnaround season.
See yourself differently. Have a new perspective. You’re not a victim of your past, a victim of what didn’t work out. You are a victor. You’ve been raised up for such a time as this, to make a difference, to take your family to a new level.
You’ve been doing the right thing, suffering with a smile, praising through the pain, worshipping instead of worrying, being good to people that aren’t good to you. Get ready; greater is coming. God is about to do a new thing.
The right attitude is, “God, I believe You’re going to bring me out, but in the meantime, I’m asking You to come into this struggle in my health, come into this loss that I’m going through, come into this depression that’s trying to stop me.”
Sometimes God will let you get in a difficult situation that’s not fair. That doesn’t mean you don’t have the blessing. The blessing is what’s going to bring you out. God is going to use that situation to show His power through you.
You are marked by the hand of almighty God. He has placed His blessing on your life. What other people do cannot stop the blessing. It didn’t come from people; it came from your Father in heaven.
If what you’re praying about isn’t changing, then God is using the situation to change you. If it’s not working out, then it’s working out something in you. All things are working for your good.
A key to faith is trusting when you don’t understand, trusting when you don’t have the answers, trusting when it seems like it’s just the opposite of what you were hoping for.
Sometimes we think it’s a lack of faith to say, “I don’t know.” We think we have to have all the answers, have it all figured out. Take the pressure off. You don’t have to know; God knows. He has you in the palm of His hand. He’s directing your steps.
It’s very freeing when you learn this principle: there are some things we’re not supposed to know. That’s not a lack of faith; it’s just the opposite. You’re taking yourself off the throne and putting God on the throne.
Sometimes we’re frustrated over a door that God has closed. But when you understand that God is your doorkeeper, that He’s in control of what doors open and what doors close, then you can live at rest, knowing that at the right time, He’ll make sure the right doors open.
There will be times when you’re saying the right things, speaking faith, but nothing is improving. There’s no sign of things changing. The scripture says, “Hold fast the profession of your faith.”
Right now, God is arranging things in your favor. If you’ll keep moving forward in faith, you’re going to come into promotion, healing, breakthroughs, things that you couldn’t make happen on your own.
