It's Time To Let Your Thoughts Switch Places With The Knowledge and Authority You Have Been Given ....

What is it that you are holding on to?   What they said or what they did?   Or are you still trying to figure out why they did what they did?    Let it go.    Thoughts can be hindrances.   They can hinder you from moving on to your  next level.    Your progression.    When you progress, it means that you move towards a more advanced state.    God wants us to progress in Him.   He wants us to understand who He is and what He has called us to do.    He wants us to come closer to Him.   To come up higher with Him.    To abide in Him.    But we can't do that if we are still holding on to our past hurts and disappointments.    If we are not willing to let go .... we can never move forward.     Understand today that it is not that those things are holding us .... we are the ones holding those things.     We are the ones who have to let go.  So that means we are the ones holding on.   

Change your position today and make today a day of release.   Releasing all those things that tend to consume your heart and your mind.   Those things that you continue to carry with you no matter where you go in God.    Let them go today.   Understand that God is trying to bring you up higher in Him.   Higher in your walk  and higher in your talk.    He wants your knowledge in Him and your thoughts to switch positions.   We have allowed our thoughts to rule over us .... whereas He wants us to take authority over our thoughts.    It's time for a shift to take place.    Use the knowledge and authority you have been given and begin to cast down the thoughts that exalt themselves against the knowledge of who He is.

Are You Allowing God To Be Your Defense?

Don't spend time worrying about what  others are doing to you.   Don't spend time worrying about what they say against you.   Talk to God about it.    In Psalms 35 David talked to God.   He asked God to fight for him.   
Psalm 35:1-4 (Amplified)
CONTEND, O Lord, with those who contend with me; fight against those who fight against me!
    2Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help!
    3Draw out also the spear and javelin and close up the way of those who pursue and persecute me. Say to me, I am your deliverance!
    4Let them be put to shame and dishonor who seek and require my life; let them be turned back and confounded who plan my hurt!
How often do we try to fight for ourselves and defend ourselves?    That is not what God wants us to do.   He wants us to trust Him.   To come to Him.   To invite Him in and to step back and allow Him to move in our situations.   So stop trying to do it on your own.  Stop trying to figure it out on your own.  Stop trying to live this life on your own.    You are God's child.   You are covered by Him and  He is your shield and buckler.    Learn how to come into His presence and rest.   While you are resting .... He will fight your battle.   Amen.....

Keeping Hold Of The Promise

It is easy to accept the promise that God has set before us when we are sure in who He is. The hard part is maintaining your hunger and continuing to seek God even when your promise cannot be seen yet. In the 37th Chapter of Psalms, we are encouraged to keep hold of the promise until we receive. We are warned to turn and stay away from all of our evil ways. In verse 23 it reads, "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and He delighteth in his way." It is true that it can become hard to wait for the promise on your own but with the help of the Father and Him guiding your way, it will become easy!

God is not a man that He should lie.  He is giving and forgiving and all He wants from us is to be obedient and wait. This is an easy requirement for such a big reward. Think about it the Creator of the universe promises something to you. It is a privilege and an honor to worship such a wonderful God, who after giving his Son would still keep giving. In Psalms 37 verse 25 says "I have been young, and now am old; yet have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread". Hold to your promise today, and believe that you shall receive. Amen

In Order For God To Submerge You .... You Have To Go Deeper .....

Are you trying to stay ankle deep and knee deep?   Or are you willing to submerge yourself in the word of God?   God wants all of you.   He is not looking to just tickle you with His word.    He is looking to submerge you in His blessings.   

In order for God to submerge you  .... you have to go deeper.   You have to find out more about who He is and what He desires to do in your life.    Step out of your box.    Break out of the shell.    Get past your 2 or 3 memory scriptures and begin to seek His face and His direction through His word.    There are many facets to your Father and He wants to manifest for you in all those ways.     Will you allow Him to break forth in your life?  Will you give Him more of you?   

Understand today .... when God gets in .... everything else has to go.    When He is able to move freely through your heart and your mind without being hindered by your opinion ..... He can manifest Himself more in your situations.    It's time to let go and let God.   It's time to get off the side of the pool and dive into His word.    There is a freedom in the word of God that you can only have if you are willing to get all the way in and to go all the way.

What Is Your Goal For Today? Is It To Please Your Father or To Accomplish A Task?

Do you realize that you are called to lead?   You are called to follow God and to lead others.   A good scripture to meditate on today is Proverbs 10:17 .....He who heeds instruction and correction is [not only himself] in the way of life [but also] is a way of life for others. And he who neglects or refuses reproof [not only himself] goes astray [but also] causes to err and is a path toward ruin for others.  

This scripture tells us that we are always leading.   Whether we are leading people in instruction or destruction .... we are preparing a path.     What path are you preparing for those around you.   Your children, your family, your friends, your co-workers, or the strangers that you encounter on the street.    Are you leading them to life or ruin?   Are you showing them it can be done or it's okay to compromise.   We have to make up our minds.    Who and what we will serve.   We have to decide on what value we put on God.   If he is the most valuable thing in our lives we will put Him first in all that we do.   Check your life today ..... what is your goal for today ..... is it to please your Father or to accomplish a task.   If you live to please your Father ... .He will help you accomplish the task.

Are You Ready To Act Like The Winner You Are?

What are you prepared to do today?   Are you prepared to worship?   Are you prepared to give Him praise?   Is the worship and the praise already in your mouth?    When you know that you are going to win something there is an attitude of confidence.   A confidence in knowing that you are the winner.   That you will receive the reward.    You need to not only know today that you win .... you need to act like a winner.    You need to have a winner's attitude because because the battle is already won.   The victory has already been achieved.    Stop holding your head down.   Stop thinking defeat.   Stop looking at the circumstance and remember that in this battle of life, the victory was obtained first.     The outcome was already determined before you got here.   

We have to remember God's process for our lives.    Have you ever wanted a job or a promotion but you realized that someone else had already been preselected for it and you said to yourself that there is no use in applying.    That is the attitude the devil needs to take.   We've already been selected as those chosen by God.    The enemies attacks are futile.   They carry no weight  because we already have won.

Have You Reached The Pivotal Point Where You Stop Doing and Just Trust God?

What is the point?  At what point do you stop doing what you do and begin to trust God?   Where exactly is the pivotal place in your life.    Pivotal means the point of crucial importance that is relative to your success.    It is the place where everything else rests and turns.   Have you gotten to that place yet?   The place where you cease from all that you want to do and allow all your cares to rest on Him and your life pivots.   It changes.   It goes in a different direction.

God is the pivotal point on which everything in your life should rest.   He is the place where you lay it all down.  Once you get to that place .... life changes.   The load because easy because you are no longer the one carrying it.    The power within you begins to flow because you are no longer blocking it by the weight of your worries.   

It's time to pivot.   It's time to change directions.   It's time to do it differently.   If what you have done in the past has not worked .... give it to God.   Lay it all down.   Trust Him for your outcome and know that His plan goes far beyond what you can see or think.   It may not be what we expected or what we wanted .... but in the end you will be better.   That is His promise to you.
