Are You Taking Time To Encourage Yourself By Speaking Life To Your Life?

What are you walking in?   Are you walking in the chains of perception that others have placed on your life?   People will try to tell you who you are, what you can and cannot do, and what they think of you?   Are you letting someone else's opinion of who they think you are dictate how you see and perceive yourself?   Are you being bound by their words or are you resting and remaining in God's Word and what He has said about you?

We have to know who we are in Christ.   We have to know who God created us to be.   We have to let God's Word be the final authority in our lives.    If we don't, we will be constantly torn and tormented by other people's opinions of who we are and what they feel we can do.  

Did you get up this morning thanking God for who He is in your life?   Make sure you not only thank Him for who He is but thank Him for who He created you to be.   Talk to yourself.   The Bible says that David encouraged himself in the Lord.   Take time to encourage yourself.   Tell yourself that you are who God says you are and that you can do everything that He created you to do.    Speak to the things that are showing up in your life that are not in line with God's Word and His Will for you.   Tell lack to go.   Tell sickness to go.   Tell anger and strife to go.   If a robber showed up at your door and you knew their purpose was to get in your house and to steal everything that is of value to you, would you let them in?    NO!   So why are you letting things come into your life and steal from you your joy, your peace, your health, and your strength.   Do what you can to put them out by speaking life over your life and trust God to honor His Word in your situation.
