There was one characteristic that stood out regardless of whether it was lions, tigers, or hyenas hunting their prey—they sought out the one in the herd that was the weakest, whether because they were young or disabled physically. Many times the herd would circle around the youngest to protect them from the intense gaze of their predator. If the young animal should wander away from the herd, they were almost always caught in the jaws of a stronger animal and held down to be eaten alive.

In this wicked culture of the last days, our children and teens are also being stalked by a dangerous and evil predator named Satan. He will tempt mature believers to walk away from their faith, but his strongest urge is to wipe out the next generation in any way possible. It’s only when the body of believers surround our young people with prayer, solid biblical teaching, and strong examples of faith that they will be able to evade the enemy’s attack.

Christian mothers stay on their knees interceding for their children of all ages until Jesus calls them home. They live faithfully to God’s word without compromise even when tempted. As a result, their children are well equipped to stand up against Satan and conquer the enemy instead of being spiritually eaten alive and defeated by temptation.

PRAYER

Dear Lord, I need Your power from heaven to be the mother You called me to be in this world. I will protect my children from the devil by praying Your word over them every day. Amen.

Stop complaining about what you don't have and just be thankful for what you do have in your life now?

Who you need forgiveness today? God forgave you Remember we all fall short daily

As a result we should never limit God.

Abraham's life is one that we can look at to clue us to how to live such a life.

Scripture reading: Romans 4:18-20

Abraham Set An Example

Can you trust God when things are going on around?

Can you have that faith like Abraham?

AWAKEN TO GOD'S GRACE

His grace empowers us to change, to break a habit, or to be free from our past. The river of grace is always flowing. Just step into it and receive!

BELIEVE THAT THE POWER TO CHANGE IS A GIFT

2 Timothy 2:25 says God grants "repentance" or "the power to change" AS A GIFT.

ALL CHANGE BEGINS BY BELIEVING YOU ARE LOVED BY GOD

Romans 2:4b says, "Don’t you realize that it is God’s loving kindness that is trying to lead you to change the way you think and act?" (GWT)

HIS LOVE AND KINDNESS CHANGES THE WAY WE THINK; THEN THEY CHANGE THE WAY WE ACT

All lasting change begins by surrendering your thought life to the Word of God.

BELIEVE IN THE PROCESS THAT LEADS TO PROGRESS

Don’t worry if it doesn’t happen right away. Jesus touched the blind man once, in Mark 8, and then touched him a second time, before he was completely healed. I believe these next 40 days are going to be your SECOND touch from Jesus.

REDEFINE YOURSELF ONLY AS WHAT GOD SAYS ABOUT YOU

Disconnect from the past definition of your habits, traits, and limitations. You are being changed into His image.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!!

God has given me the gift to change. My habits, emotions, and life will change by changing the way I think. I submit to the process of renewing my mind, and I expect divine progress. I refuse to accept past definitions and limitations of myself. As I embrace God’s view of me, through His Word, I am being changed into His image, in Jesus’ Name!

UN-DECIDE THAT IT'S TOO LATE FOR THESE THINGS TO CHANGE

Un-decide that you can’t recover. Un-decide that the damage is irreversible. It’s NOT too late to turn your finances around, to recover from a tragedy or mistake, to surrender your life to God, to take better care of yourself, to change the way you see yourself, to apologize, or to break a bad habit.

MEDITATE ON THE FACT THAT GOD CREATED TIME AND HE CAN MULTIPLY IT

The earth and sun stood still in Joshua 10:12–13. "And Joshua said in the sight of Israel, ‘Sun, stand still.’ So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped." Joshua had control over time for God’s purpose. We need to start thinking that way—that we have control over our time, rather than it having control over us!

THINK ABOUT THE GREAT CLOUD OF WITNESSES FOR WHOM IT WASN'T TOO LATE

It wasn’t too late for Abraham and Sarah to become parents at 99 and 90 years old (Genesis 21).

It wasn’t too late for Peter after he denied the Lord three times (Luke 22:61).

It wasn’t too late for the woman caught in adultery (John 8:1–11), the woman with the issue of blood (Mark 5:25–34), or the man who was lame at the pool of Bethesda for 38 years (John 5:1–10).

EMBRACE GRACE

Lamentations 3:22–23 says, "His mercy is new every morning."Hebrews 4:15 says, "Come boldly to the throne of grace to receive mercy and grace in your time of need." Mercy is when God doesn’t give us the judgment that we do deserve, and grace is when God gives us the goodness that we don’t deserve.

RID YOURSELF OF EXCUSE-MAKING

God doesn’t accept excuses, but He gives lots of grace! We might feel low self-esteem or have a disability as Moses did. He had a speech impediment, but God gave him chance after chance to be used to deliver God’s people.

ASK GOD FOR MORE TIME AND ANOTHER CHANCE

Hezekiah did this in 2 Kings 20:1–6. When Hezekiah asked for a second chance, God told him, "I have heard your prayer... surely I will heal you... and I will add to your days fifteen years." If he did it for Hezekiah, He will do it for you!

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!

It's not too late for things to improve in my life and radically turn around. I believe in the God of second chances. I can recover, and there is nothing that God won't turn around in my life. God created time, and He can multiply it for me. I am not controlled by time. By God's grace, I control it, in Jesus' Name!

YOU HAVE AUTHORITY IN LIFE

Remember, Jesus has given us ALL power over the enemy (Luke 10:19). The enemy, the devil, wants to blind you to your authority, so that you will accept whatever happens in life, or wait for God to do something about it. Awaken to your God-given authority as a child of God.

START REIGNING AND YOU’LL STOP WHINING

"Through the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness, we REIGN in life." (Romans 5:17) As you awake to grace & righteousness—and your God-given authority—you’ll stop thinking and feeling like a victim.

GOD GIVES EVERY GOOD GIFT (JAMES 1:17)

God is good, and the devil is bad. It was Satan, not God, who smote Job. But God has given us the power to resist the devil, and walk in our God-given authority and destiny.

GOD DOESN'T SEND STORMS TO TEACH US A LESSON

Life brings storms. But God brings shelter. God is the source of our shelter, not the source of the storm. Isaiah 25:4 says, "You are a refuge from the storm."

PLANT THE RIGHT SEEDS BEFORE THE STORMS OF LIFE HIT

(Mark 4:26-35) Jesus taught His disciples to plant the seed of God’s Word. THEN, He got in the boat, and the storm hit. They had the power to stop the storm. They just didn’t know it.

YOU'RE JUST LIKE JESUS!

Yes, the disciples woke Jesus, and He stopped the storm. BUT, in 1 John 4:17, it tells us that as He is, so are we. He gave you His Word, His Name, and His authority. You can stop the forces of hell that come against you.

WISDOM IS GREATER THAN THE STORM

And the wise build their house–their life–on the Word of God. No matter what life or the enemy throws at you, you will stand–especially when your life is built on the wisdom of God’s Word.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!

I agree with Jesus! I take authority over the storms of life, and over all the power of the enemy. Through the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness, I reign in life. I have the power to choose PEACE in the midst of the storms of life. I walk in wisdom, by acting on the Word, and I rise above every situation, in the Name of Jesus!

JESUS DECLARES YOU: NOT GUILTY

This doesn’t mean that you’ve never sinned or done wrong. This means that He washed away all your sin and guilt with His blood. The Word of God declares Jesus as our guilt offering, thus declaring us free from guilt.

SEE WHAT GOD SEES

Accept Colossians 1:22, which says that through Jesus’ blood, "He presents you holy and faultless and unblamable in the Father’s eyes."When God sees you, He sees Jesus—like when Jacob went before his father Isaac with the hair, skin, and scent of his brother. The father saw Jacob as if he were Esau (Genesis 27:15-27). And He sees you as if you were Jesus—without guilt.

MEDITATE ON JOB 10:7

"According to your knowledge, I am indeed not guilty..." (NASB) When a person is born again, they are cleansed of sin and guilt by the blood of Jesus, and therefore not guilty.

WHEN YOU BLOW IT, DON'T DENY IT

Admit it. Confess it. 1 John 1:9 says, "If you confess your sin, He is faithful and just to forgive you and to cleanse you from all unrighteousness."

IT’S ALREADY DONE! BELIEVE THAT IT IS ALREADY DONE

The last words of Jesus on the cross were, "It is finished". At that moment, the price was paid for your sin and guilt. Hebrews 1:3 says, "He cleansed us from our sin."

STOP THINKING THAT YOU HAVE TO FEEL GUILTY TO BE FORGIVEN

Sometimes we think we owe it to people to feel guilty and bad for everything. Stop thinking that. You don’t owe anyone anything. Don’t think guilt somehow pays for something. The blood of Jesus paid it all. When we feel like we owe God guilt or we owe it to others to wallow in guilt, it’s an insult to His blood.

STOP BEATING YOURSELF UP ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVEN’T DONE

We often punish ourselves with self-condemnation. We will never do enough for God. That’s why Jesus did it all. He paid for sin, the curse, and our failure. Our job is to believe.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!

Jesus has declared me not guilty. Even when I feel I don’t do enough, or that I’m not good enough, God says that faith in Him is enough. I don’t have to feel guilty to be forgiven. I am forgiven by faith in Jesus. Today I stop beating myself up about all that I’ve done or haven’t done. I don’t have to be perfect. He already is—therefore, I rest my faith in Him, in Jesus’ Name!

GOD IS A YES GOD

2 Corinthians 1:20—"All the promises of God are YES!" He says YES to everything He has promised. He’s a positive God. And you are made in His image.

CAN IT!

Success comes in CANS, not in cannots! Philippians 4:13 says, "I CAN do all things through Christ which strengthens me."

GET RID OF THE NEGATIVE PSYCHIC IN YOU

The "negative psychic" in you presumes you know what people are thinking about you and it’s usually bad. "She thinks I’m an idiot"; "I can tell he’s always judging me" ...etc. The only person’s thoughts that matter about you are God’s, and THEY ARE GOOD.

GET RID OF THE NEGATIVE PSYCHIC IN YOU

The "negative psychic" in you presumes you know what people are thinking about you and it’s usually bad. "She thinks I’m an idiot"; "I can tell he’s always judging me" ...etc. The only person’s thoughts that matter about you are God’s, and THEY ARE GOOD.

BE A THERMOSTAT, NOT A THERMOMETER

A thermostat SETS the temperature. It doesn’t read it. Set the thermostat of your attitude to "ABOVE ONLY" thinking. Deuteronomy 28:13 says, "You will be ABOVE ONLY and not beneath." The NIV says, "YOU WILL ALWAYS BE AT THE TOP."Refuse to accept any other way of thinking or living.

MAKE YOUR GREATEST DISCOVERY TODAY!

The greatest discovery in life is that you can change your life by changing the attitude of your mind. In Mark 9:23, Jesus said, "If you can believe, all things are possible."

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!

My life is getting easier not harder! I focus on the good things God has done in my life. I believe all things are possible! I look for opportunity to come my way because of my hope in Jesus. I’m above ONLY and not beneath. I am the head and not the tail. My attitude of faith and expectation in God takes precedence over all other facts... beginning today, in Jesus’ Name!

CAST YOUR CARES UPON GOD. HE WILL CARE FOR YOU

How? Be honest. Tell Him what’s wrong. Ask Him to carry it for you and believe He will. Remember, after you give Him your cares, don’t run to pick them back up. Trust Jesus to carry the load for you.

SEE YOURSELF ATTACHED, OR YOKED, TO GOD

He holds you up and pulls you up when you are weak and overwhelmed. You are one with Him. When you feel weak and burdened, remember that He is carrying you.

BEGIN TO BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN HANDLE ANYTHING

Start believing this today. Mark 9:23 says, "All things are possible for those who believe."

FEAST ON THIS THOUGHT: NOTHING IS TOO DIFFICULT FOR GOD

If nothing is too difficult for Him, and He lives in you, then nothing is too difficult for you. You will make it!

GOD WILL COMPLETE THOSE THINGS THAT CONCERN YOU

As you surrender those concerns to God, they become His responsibility. He will complete, fulfill, perfect, and bring those things to pass. He will lift your burden and finish what He started in your life.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!

I can handle anything today, because I am yoked to Jesus. Today I refuse to be overwhelmed. I cast all my cares on Jesus. He cares for me and will carry my load.

Nothing is too difficult for God. Therefore, I declare that nothing is too difficult for me today! He is the author and finisher of my faith, in Jesus' Name!

THE PATH OF THE RIGHTEOUS GETS BRIGHTER AND BRIGHTER UNTIL THE FULL DAY

Expect it to get brighter today!

YOU HAVE A COVENANT OF INCREASE FROM GOD

Psalm 115:14 says, "May the Lord give you increase." Deuteronomy 1:11 says, "May the Lord increase you a thousand times and bless you as He has promised." Expect!

ELIMINATE THE "HALF EMPTY GLASS" MENTALITY

In fact, don’t accept it "half full" either! Think: My cup runs over!

YOUR LIFE IS GOING TO END UP BETTER THAN IT STARTED!

Ecclesiastes 7:8 says, "Better is the end of a thing than the beginning." Haggai 2:9 says, "The latter days of this house shall be greater than the former."

LOOK AT HOW GOD DOES THINGS

He takes us from law to grace; from sin to righteousness; from sickness to health; from defeat to victory; therefore, expect things to get better and better in every area of your life.

EXPECT THE BEST TODAY!

In Luke 15:22, the father said, "Bring the best robe, and put it on my son." You are God’s child. He wants the best for you. Believe for goodness and mercy to follow you all the days of your life.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!

No matter what is happening in this world, things are getting better and better for me! God has made me righteous through His blood; therefore, my path is getting brighter and brighter every day.

My inner man is being renewed, day by day. I have a covenant of increase and God is increasing me, and all that I have, more and more. I expect the best today. He has saved the best for last, and therefore I expect my coming days to be better than my past days, in Jesus’ Name!

GOD IS NOT MAD AT YOU; HE IS MAD ABOUT YOU!

This is something I started saying many years ago when I discovered God’s love. When you accept this thought, you will have confidence, expectation, and peace. How do I know this is true? Romans 8:38–39 says, "Nothing can separate you from the love of God..." You are forgiven, and you are LOVED.

THINK THIS NEW THOUGHT: GOD LOVES ME AS MUCH AS HE LOVES JESUS

In John 17:23, Jesus says to the Father, "...that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, as much as You have loved Me." What an amazing truth. God loves you as much as He loves Jesus!

HE THINKS PRECIOUS THOUGHTS ABOUT YOU ALL THE TIME!

Psalm 139:17–18 says, "How precious are Your thoughts toward me, O God... If I should count them, they would outnumber the sand. When I awake, I am still with You!"

WHAT GOD SAID TO JESUS IS THE SAME FOR YOU

"You are My beloved Son. In You, I am well-pleased." (Mark 1:11) Hallelujah! He doesn’t sound mad at Jesus. He sounds mad about Him! Well, 1 John 4:17 says, "As He is, so are we."

THERE IS NOTHING GOD IS HOLDING BACK FROM YOU

Romans 8:32 says, "He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not also with Him freely give us all things." Rejoice in this truth!

YOU ARE NOT CONDEMNED

Romans 8:1 says, "There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus..." God approves of you because of your faith in Jesus, not because you have done everything right. God’s love for you is non-negotiable. Jeremiah 31:3 says He loves you with an everlasting love. It is an unstoppable love!

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!

God is not mad at me; He is mad about me. He loves me as much as Jesus. He thinks precious thoughts about me all the time. I am His beloved, and He is mine!

There is nothing God is holding back from me. He didn’t hold back His best; therefore He won’t hold back the rest.

I refuse to be condemned. I am forgiven. I reject the thought that He is mad at me or against me. God is for me and not against me. His love toward me is unstoppable, in Jesus’ Name!

LET THIS PERMEATE YOUR MIND: GOD IS A GOD OF RESTORATION

Joel 2:25–26 says, "I will restore the years that have been lost."Whether it’s lost years, lost opportunity, lost finances, bad decisions, or what others have done to you—God will restore. He is the God of restoration.

DITCH THE MENTALITY OF SETTLING

We must refuse to settle. The ten lepers wouldn’t settle for their leprosy (Luke 17:11-19). They cried out to Jesus. The woman with the demon-possessed daughter wouldn’t settle with her daughter’s condition (Matthew 15:22). Bartimaeus wouldn’t settle with blindness (Mark 10:46-52). He wouldn’t stop until he recovered his sight. REFUSE to settle for the way things are, and choose the pursuit of God.

REALIZE THAT GOD WANTS YOU TO GO TO HIM AND TO ASK HIM TO AVENGE YOU

In Luke 18, the unjust judge avenged the widow because of her persistence. HOW MUCH MORE will our just and loving God avenge His children!

ALL THE PROMISES OF GOD ARE YES

He has promised restoration and recovery—so ask Him for them TODAY. God wants you to recover more than you do. Believe this.

BELIEVE THE PROMISE: THE THIEF HAS TO REPAY SEVEN-FOLD WHAT HE'S STOLEN

The devil is the thief. And Jesus has defeated him. He has given us authority over him. You have the right to get your stuff back. Jesus paid for it. Whatever good thing that has been lost in your life is coming back.

PROPHESY TO THE DRY BONES IN YOUR LIFE

Speak to whatever is lost and command it to come back. Use your words. Job 22:28 says, "I shall decree a thing and it will be so."

EXPECT RECOVERY!

"You shall surely overtake your enemies and you shall recover all"
(1 Samuel 30:8). Restoration and the recovery of what has been lost in our lives is a divine promise. Stand on it today.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!

I will recover all that has been lost in my life. I expect the restoration of lost relationships, lost money, lost hope, and lost opportunities. I will not settle for loss and lack. God will avenge me. He will restore what has been stolen from me. I ask Him and expect Him to avenge me of all that has been lost in my life. I call forth a seven-fold return of what has been taken from me, in Jesus’ Name!

DISCOVER THE POWER WITHIN YOU

Remember, anger comes from a sense of powerlessness. When we feel powerless to change something, we get afraid, leading us to anger. 2 Timothy 1:7 says, "God has not given us a spirit of fear, but power, love, and a sound mind." Meditate on this verse. You have power.

LISTEN QUICKLY AND SPEAK SLOWLY

James 1:19 says, "Be quick to hear, slow to speak, then the result is that you will be slow to anger!" Follow this simple pattern, and anger will lose its grip.

REALIZE THAT ANGER DOES NOT WORK

It doesn’t produce or achieve anything. James 1:20 says, "For the anger of man does not achieve (work, produce) the righteousness of God." If you had an employee that didn’t work, produce, or achieve, you would fire them, right? Fire your anger from your life. It doesn’t achieve anything.

DEAL WITH UNRESOLVED CONFLICT TODAY!

Ephesians 4:26 says, "Do not let the sun go down on your anger."Make peace with whomever you have something against today. Don’t let it fester. You’ll be amazed at how much less you will feel angry.

IT'S OK TO FEEL ANGER, BUT DIRECT IT THE RIGHT WAY—TOWARDS THE DEVIL

Notice, the next verse goes on to say, "Don’t give the devil an opportunity to work." (Ephesians 4:27) The devil wants you to blame others for your anger. But realize, there’s no one to blame but the devil! And like a soldier with a machine gun, who just discovered the enemy, turn your weapons completely on him. Use your anger to resist the devil by speaking the Word with an aggressive force, and eliminate his opportunity to work!

GET THE WHOLE PICTURE

So often, the reason we get mad or afraid is that we only see a snapshot of what’s really going on. As soon as anger comes, ask God to open your eyes to see the big picture. He did it for Elisha’s servant. He will do it for you!

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!

I am free from the power of anger. I have power over it! I have power, love, and a sound mind. I will not act rashly, but choose to listen quickly and speak slowly. I say to anger: You are fired!

I refuse to blame anyone for my angry feelings. I will use my aggressive feelings against the devil by speaking the Word of God and resisting him firmlyin my faith today, in Jesus' Name!

UNDERSTAND THE GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

2 Corinthians 5:21 says, "He who knew NO sin, was made to be sin FOR US, that we would be MADE the righteousness of God." This is the greatest EXCHANGE in human history! Jesus took our sinfulness and imparted to us His righteousness–which means we are RIGHT in God’s eyes, not wrong.

AWAKE TO RIGHTEOUSNESS

1 Corinthians 15:34 (AMP) says, "Awaken to righteousness; and you will not sin." When God thinks of you, He thinks of a victorious, conquering, strong, powerful, wise, and holy son or daughter. He sees you as a mighty champion— the head and not the tail. Righteousness means: to stand in His presence without a sense of guilt, shame, inferiority, or condemnation.

REJECT SIN-CONSCIOUSNESS

When you are always conscious of what’s wrong, you will DO wrong. When you are always conscious of BEING the righteousness of God—you will DO right. You’ll act on the outside how you see yourself on the inside.

ASK THE HOLY SPIRIT TO DO WHAT HE DOES BEST

1 Corinthians 2:12 says, "...We have received the Spirit of God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God." A key ministry of the Holy Spirit is to REVEAL what is already yours (NOT TO REVEAL TO YOU ALL THAT IS WRONG IN YOUR LIFE).

ASK THE HOLY SPIRIT TO DO WHAT HE DOES BEST

1 Corinthians 2:12 says, "...We have received the Spirit of God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God." A key ministry of the Holy Spirit is to REVEAL what is already yours (NOT TO REVEAL TO YOU ALL THAT IS WRONG IN YOUR LIFE).

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!

I am the righteousness of God, through the blood of Jesus. I stand in the presence of God without guilt, shame, inferiority, or condemnation. I awake to righteousness and believe it will lead me to a victorious life. I am a joint heir with Jesus. When God looks at me, He sees His blood. He thinks of me as a conquering, powerful, and holy son or daughter. I will not think of myself as anything less or more than what God thinks of me in Jesus' Name!

KNOW YOUR ENEMY

The real enemy is thinking that you have to get rid of the enemy. Psalm 23:5 says that He prepares a table (celebration) in the presence of your enemies. Begin to celebrate and praise God in the midst of the pressure, problem, or bad news. That’s when the enemy loses its power.

THE PRINCE OF PEACE LIVES IN YOU!

(Colossians 1:27) Peace comes from the presence of God, not the absence of problems. Meditate on the fact that God’s presence is in you and with you. Jesus said "I am with you always."

YOUR TREASURE IS GREATER THAN YOUR TROUBLE

In 2 Corinthians 4:6–8, Paul said, "We are troubled on every side, but not stressed." Why? Because he knew he had a treasure inside, the power to speak God’s Word, and the ability to change the situation.

BE CERTAIN YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE IT

(1 John 4:18) Flood your mind with thoughts of love—God’s love for you, and what He was willing to do to rescue you. If He would die for you, while you were in sin and separated from God, there’s just nothing He wouldn’t do for you! Think on that, and fear will leave.

YOU'RE NOT UNDER STRESS; YOU'RE OVER IT

You are seated with Christ in heavenly places—Ephesians 2:1-6. Live life from above—from God’s perspective. You’re above ONLY and not underneath (Deuteronomy 28:13). The battle is already won. Jesus did it all. Your fight is simply to believe that. That’s when stress leaves.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!

I am free from the power of stress. I don't have to get rid of all my problems to get rid of stress. I have a table in the presence of my enemies. They have NO power over me.

The Prince of Peace lives in me. I am certain I will make it. I am going to the other side. The battle is already won. Jesus did it all. My treasure is greater than my trouble, and I am above stress and not underneath it, in Jesus' Name!

You Are Not Alone. 

KNOW YOUR AUTHORITY

In Luke 10:19, Jesus said: "Behold I have given you authority… over all the power of the enemy." The devil doesn’t push us around. We push him around! Whatever we bind on earth is bound in heaven—Matthew 18:18. You’re never afraid of what you have authority over.

RECEIVE PEACE AS A GIFT!

Simply accept it today! Jesus said: My peace I GIVE you, not as the world gives—John 14:27. We receive peace, not as something dependent on circumstances—it is a gift. Therefore, we don’t have to be afraid.

REMEMBER WHAT YOU HAVE—AND WHAT YOU "HAVE NOT"

2 Timothy 1:7 says, "God has NOT given you a spirit of fear; but POWER, LOVE, and a SOUND MIND."

TAKE YOUR DAILY "PRE-SCRIPTURE" AS YOUR NEW "PRESCRIPTION."

Take a dose of Psalm 91:10, which declares, "NO evil or harm shall befall you, nor shall any disaster or plague come near your tent!"

MEDITATE ON GOOD NEWS FROM JOB

Job 5:19 says, "He will deliver you from six troubles; in seven no evil shall touch you."

LOVES CONQUERS ALL

We give away our power to live in victory, health, and success—when we allow others to determine how we RESPOND. We have the power to forgive, the power to recover, and the power to overcome anything. When we blame others, we give away that power to them.

IN THE DARKEST OF TIMES, GOD PRESENTS HIS MOST STUNNING PERFORMANCES

Expect God to show up!

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!

I receive the gift of PEACE, and therefore I am not troubled. I have power, love, and a sound mind. I have authority over the enemy. No evil or disaster can harm me. God is my Deliverer. I expect God to show up in my life today, in Jesus' name.

HE IS IN THE BOAT WITH YOU!

In Mark 4:36-40, Jesus was asleep in the boat. Someone asked me once, "How do we wake Jesus up, when He is asleep in our boat, in the middle of a storm?" Well, I said, "You don’t wake Him up. You rest with Him!" If He’s not worried, don’t you worry. HIS PRESENCE calmed the storm then, just as it will do now.

THE DISCIPLES DIDN'T NEED JESUS TO AWAKE

They needed to awake to the fact that God was with them. When you know He is with you, there is nothing to fear. Psalm 23:4 says, "Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear NO EVIL, for You are with me!"

GREAT MIRACLE = JESUS CALMED THE STORM. GREATER MIRACLE = JESUS SLEPT IN THE MIDST OF THE STORM

Give God something to work with, because He can do beyond. We have to at least give Him a base to begin with.

DO NOT MISTAKE FIRE IN YOUR LIFE FOR GOD’S ABSENCE

In Daniel 3:22-25, Jesus was the fourth man in the fire with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He was present in the middle of the fire. Just because you don’t feel His presence, doesn’t mean He isn’t there. BELIEVE HE IS WITH YOU, and eventually your situation will FEEL HIS PRESENCE!

PSALM 91:10 SAYS, "NO EVIL SHALL BEFALL YOU, NOR SHALL ANY PLAGUE COME NEAR YOUR TENT"

The next verse says, "For He will give His angel(s) charge concerning you." There are many angels involved in our lives, but this is talking about HIS ANGEL. The Old Testament "Angel" is Jesus Christ himself. He is Lord; therefore He has charge concerning us!

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!

I am not trying to get in God's presence; I am already in, through the blood of Jesus. He is in my boat with me. He is not "over there." He is "here" right now—with me and in me!

I awake to the fact that He is with me. There is no separation. I can rest with Him, in the midst of any storm. I can walk with Him in the midst of the fire.

I am fearless, because He is with me. Therefore, no evil shall befall me, nor shall any plague come near my dwelling place—my church, my home, my body, or my life—in Jesus’ Name!

BELIEVE IN THE MINISTRY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT TODAY

Romans 8:26 says, "We don’t always know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit intercedes for us." No matter what your situation is, the Holy Spirit knows how to bring about God’s will for your life, as you ask and thank Him.

THINK THIS THOUGHT TODAY:
PRAYER CHANGES THINGS

There’s nothing you can’t impact through prayer. Prayer gets you unstuck. It gets you moving again. Prayer is powerful. "And all things, whatsoever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive."(Matthew 21:22)

BELIEVE THAT FAITH FINDS A WAY. WHENEVER I FEEL STUCK, I REMEMBER THESE WORDS:
FAITH FINDS A WAY

In Mark 2:1–5, the friends of the paralyzed man could not find a way into the house where Jesus was. They were stuck, but they believed there was another way. They went up on the roof and lowered him down through the ceiling tiles, and the man was healed. Why? Because faith found a way! If we don’t think it, we won’t look for it.

REMEMBER, JESUS IS THE 4TH MAN IN THE FIRE

When it seemed like the three men in Daniel 3 were going to be burned in the fiery furnace, Jesus showed up! What was an impossible situation was made possible, because Jesus was with them. And He is with you now!

JESUS IS YOUR WAY

"I am the way, the truth, and the life." (John 14:6) He is the way when there just seems to be no way. He is your way out of whatever situation you are in. Expect Him to make a way.

JUST THINK NEXT STEPS

When Jesus was tempted to not go to the cross, the Bible says, "He went forward a little..." (Mark 14:35, KJV). When you feel stuck, like there’s nothing you can do, just take a step. Don’t think about all the steps. Just take the next one. In a relationship, the first step may be just saying you’re sorry. If it’s finances, maybe it’s just cutting one area of spending or giving one extra offering. Move forward a little!

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!

The Holy Spirit is interceding for me when I feel stuck. He is moving in me and through me. I think and believe there is always a way. Even when it seems like there is no way, Jesus is the Way. He is with me no matter what fire I'm facing. When I feel stuck, I will think about one step I can take that will move me towards healing, blessing, and God's will for my life, in Jesus' Name!

OD HAS ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE

Psalm 145:16 says that He satisfies the desire of EVERY living thing. His reward for one person doesn’t come at the expense of someone else.

WHAT DO YOU DESIRE?

Freedom? Joy? Provision? A better relationship with someone? He will satisfy your desire. Ask Him to right now.

SETTLE THIS: GOD HONORS HIS WORD ABOVE ANYTHING

Cling to His Word, and you will get honored with it. Promotion, increase, and rewards will come.

GET YOUR THOUGHTS OFF THEM AND ON HIM

Fix your eyes on Jesus. He is the source of all that you could ever want or need. Every good and perfect gift comes from above (James 1:17). Look UP, not OUT.

IT'S EASIER TO SEEK HIM THAN YOU THINK

Seeking God is not about our effort. It’s about LOOKING TO Jesus as your source and discovering His way of thinking and looking at things. As we think His way (His Word), we will believe like Him. Our faith will soar! Manifestations WILL COME. That is what it means to seek Him.

SEE OTHER PEOPLE’S ABUNDANCE AS A
PREDICTION OF YOURS

The testimony of what Jesus has done for someone else is a prophecy of what He can do for you.

EXPECT FAVOR

Favor surrounds the righteous on every side! And you are the righteousness of God, simply by being in Christ.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!

God is MY Rewarder. I adopt His thinking regarding my life and situation. I fix my eyes on Him, and He finishes my faith. Favor surrounds me, promotion surrounds me, and God's rewards surround me like a shield, in Jesus’ Name!

OUR EMOTIONS ARE THE RESULT OF OUR THOUGHTSIf you think sad thoughts, you will become sad. If you think joyful and faith-filled thoughts, you will become happy. As a man thinks within, so is he.

REJECT THE BELIEF THAT YOUR EMOTIONS ARE THE RESULT OF YOUR CULTURE, ETHNICITY, OR GENDER

Your culture may be more or less expressive of emotions, but we are all spiritual beings with the power to rule over our emotions with the Word of God.

YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN SELF-CONTROL

It is in you! 2 Timothy 1:7 says, "For God did not give us a spirit of fear but of power and love and self-control." (NET Bible) Galatians 5:23 says, "The fruit of the Spirit includes SELF-CONTROL, and the Spirit is in you!"

BELIEVE YOU ARE IN CONTROL

As you control your thoughts, you will control your emotions. THEN, you will not feel the urge to control others!

YOU CAN REMEMBER WHAT HAPPINESS IS

In Lamentations 3:17-24, Jeremiah FORGOT what happiness was, because he talked himself into misery. When he began to think about the goodness of God, JOY WAS RESTORED. Emotions follow thoughts—whether good or bad.

EXPRESS YOUR EMOTIONS UPWARD, AND YOU WON'T NEED TO ALWAYS EXPRESS THEM OUTWARD

When you pour your heart and feelings out to God (no matter how bad they may be), the temptation to explode at others will be diminished.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!

I am not under the control of my emotions anymore. They are under my control. As I fill my mind with good thoughts, they will become good emotions. I can control my emotions through my thought life, and my thought life is surrendered to God's Word. I have self-control and dominion over my life. And from this day forward, my emotions serve me, rather than control me. I pour my emotions out to God, and I don't need to pour them out to others, in Jesus' Name!

FORGIVENESS IS NOT A FEELING

It is a decision to GIVE it as a free gift. Whatever grudge, bitterness, or resentment that you have toward someone will not go away without a choice to "give it" as a gift.

FORGIVE BY FAITH

2 Corinthians 5:7 says, "We live by faith; therefore we forgive by faith."Never let your faith follow your feelings. Your feelings will catch up with your faith.

DON’T BE FOOLED BY THE FEELINGS OF RESENTMENT OR ANGER WHEN THEY TRY TO COME BACK

You’ll be tempted to think, "I don’t feel anything, so nothing has changed. I guess I must not have really forgiven them." This is a lie! This is the thought you must fast from. The moment you forgive someone, as a choice, it’s done, no matter what you feel.

BELIEVE AND BE THANKFUL THAT YOU ARE FREE FROM THE PAIN AND CONSEQUENCES OF UNFORGIVENESS

Thank God that you are free and healed. As you do this EVERY TIME that you feel those feelings, you will feel less and less of the pain, until it completely vanishes away.

UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF THE WORD:
FOR—GIVE

It simply means to GIVE BEFORE. We need to "give" forgiveness BEFORE the person apologizes, BEFORE they change, and most importantly BEFORE you feel anything. Just as faith works by believing God’s promises BEFORE they show up (Mark 11:24-25), forgiveness works BEFORE you feel it. When you forgive BEFORE you feel good feelings about that person, you are living in the highest level of faith.

MEDITATE ON WHAT GOD HAS DONE FOR YOU, RATHER THAN WHAT PEOPLE HAVE DONE TO YOU

Psalm 103:2-4 says, "Bless the Lord O my soul and forget none of His benefits—He pardons all your iniquities, heals all your diseases, redeems your life from destruction, crowns you with loving-kindness and compassion." Think on these things.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!

I accept that forgiveness is not a feeling. It’s a decision. Beginning today, I expect the bitter feelings, the problems, and the unanswered prayers to change because of the choice I have made.

I forgive by faith, which means that as I act on the Word of God and declare my forgiveness out loud, I am walking in forgiveness, whether I feel something or not.

I am forgiven and I am a forgiver! I choose to forgive others (AND MYSELF), BEFORE they change, before they deserve it, and before I feel it. I focus on what God has done for me, rather than what others have done to me, and therefore, I am free. In Jesus’ Name!

REALIZE THAT WE ONLY DESERVE FORGIVENESS BECAUSE OF THE BLOOD OF JESUS

It’s not because our mistakes "never happened," or "it wasn’t that bad." Give up rationalizations and excuses, and simply receive God’s mercy and grace.

IT WAS THAT BAD, BUT GOD IS EVEN MORE GOOD!

James 2:13 says, "Mercy triumphs over judgment." His mercy toward you TRIUMPHS over your self- judgment. In Luke 22:34, Peter denied the Lord three times, and Jesus forgave him. Later, Peter preached the first sermon after Jesus rose from the dead, and 3000 people were saved in a day! Peter was able to forgive himself when he knew Jesus had accepted him. In the same way, you too, have been accepted by God, no matter what you have done—simply by believing in His finished work on the cross.

GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO HOLD ANYTHING AGAINST YOURSELF

God doesn’t hold anything against you. Forgiving yourself is simply AGREEING with God. His standard is absolute perfection, and He forgives you. Psalm 103:12 says, "As far as east is from west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us."

STOP REHEARSING WHAT YOU DID

It’s done. It’s over. Now accept the second chance (or third or fourth...) that God offers. Philippians 3:13 says, "Forgetting what lies behind, and reaching forward..." Reaching forward starts in your thought life.

BELIEVE THAT GUILT DOESN'T COME FROM GOD

He doesn’t impose guilt on you to try to get you to stop doing something. Romans 2:4 says, "It is His goodness that draws us to repentance." Since this guilt and shame doesn’t come from God, there can be only one other source—the devil. James 4:7 says, "Submit to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from you."

GIVE UP THE SELF-PUNISHMENT

Some people think subconsciously: "I’ll make myself feel bad to pay for what I’ve done." Why should we pay the price that has ALREADY been paid for what we’ve done wrong? Stop beating yourself up. By trying to "pay for what we have done", we are doubting & insulting the very blood of Jesus that HAS PAID the price in full. Accept His free gift.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!

I receive mercy today, because of the blood of Jesus. Though I didn’t deserve it, God proclaims over me, that I am "not guilty". Where I have failed, God’s mercy triumphs over judgment.

I give up my right today to hold ANYTHING against myself. I deserve to be punished, but Jesus took THAT punishment for me. I forget what lies behind and press on, moving forward in my life with God, even though I feel like I have blown it beyond repair.

I reject this guilt and self-condemnation that the devil is trying to put on me. God is the God of second chances. I will no longer try to make myself feel bad to pay for what I’ve done. The price for what I did or failed at has been paid in full by Jesus’ blood!

YOU HAVE COMEBACK DNA IN YOU

Even in what seems like the worst situation, the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you. Expect your comeback! You have resurrection DNA in you!

FALLING ISN'T FAILING

Proverbs 24:16 says, "A righteous man falls seven times, but he rises again!" You are righteous in Christ. See yourself as someone who rises up. When you’ve fallen, you have the right to get back up.

JESUS GETS HIS PRAYERS ANSWERED

And He is praying for you, that your faith would not fail. Luke 22:32 tells us that Jesus said to Peter (and to you), "I have prayed for you, that your faith would not fail." You are not going to fail. No shame! Get up.

JESUS IS TURNING TO YOU, NOT FROM YOU!

In Luke 22:61, Jesus turned TO Peter after he denied Him. He didn’t turn FROM him. You are accepted! This acceptance transformed Peter’s life after he hit rock bottom. God accepts you, just like He accepted Peter, even when you’ve failed.

EVEN WHEN YOU'RE DOING POORLY, GOD WILL NOTFAIL YOU

He’s going to make sure you make it. Your relationship with Him was His idea, not yours. He will finish what He started.

IN ONE MOMENT, GOD CAN TURN AROUND YEARS OF APPARENT FAILURE

In Esther 9:1, God’s people were about to be destroyed, but God suddenly delivered them. In only ONE DAY, the tables were turned, and God transformed certain defeat into total victory! If God could accomplish this for them, He can do it for you!

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!

I have comeback DNA in me! It’s my new nature to always rise, even when I’ve fallen. I have the blood-bought right to get back up when I’ve failed! Jesus doesn’t turn from me when I’ve fallen; He turns to me and prays for me. I cannot fail. He will not fail me. His love will never fail toward me. I am expecting God to turn my failures and frustrations around beginning today, in Jesus’ Name!

IT'S NOT HARD TO BE SOMETHING YOU ALEADY ARE

Jesus made you a Christian, and there’s nothing that can change that. You’re a new creation! You are already more than a conqueror! You don’t have to TRY to be a human. You are one! In the same way: You ARE a Christian!

IT IS HE WHO MADE US, AND NOT WE OURSELVES

Selah—pause and think on that. HE MADE YOU A CHRISTIAN. And you can’t undo what God has done.

JESUS DID IT ALL

When He said, "It is finished,"  in John 19:30, He meant: "The debt is paid; the sentence is served; the victory is won! I did everything necessary for you to be saved and at peace." Now, just believe it.

START REALIZING "CHRISTIAN" MEANS "CHRIST-IN"

He is in you. It’s impossible for you to fail at being a Christian, when the anointing (Christ) is at work within you.

HIS YOKE IS EASY

Reverse your thinking. Think, "It’s easy to be a Christian." His yoke is easy. His burden is light. You are yoked/connected/hitched to Him!

REST IN THE FACT THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE PERFECT

God is not holding you to a perfect standard. Jesus is your perfection. Just rest in this truth!

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!

It is easy to live the Christian life because God already made me more than a conqueror. Jesus did it all! His life is in me. His love is in me. His power is in me. His Spirit is in me. Therefore, I cannot fail as a Christian! I am not alone, and never will be. I am yoked to Him, and that’s why I can enjoy my relationship WITH God, rather than strive to fulfill a duty FOR God. I am free, in Jesus’ Name!

BELIEVE IN GOD'S ABUNDANT PROVISION

Our God calls Himself: El Shaddai, the God of more than enough. We have more than enough of God living inside of us. Let’s stop thinking in terms of not enough and start thinking in terms of more than enough.

THINK MULTIPLICATION

God said: Be fruitful and multiply. He is a multiplier, and so are you. Believe in the God of multiplication!

THINK APPLE ORCHARD

An 🍎 seed becomes an 🍎 orchard. One little seed becomes more than enough apples for a whole community! Believe in the power of a seed.

SEED MEETS NEED

Remember, even God cannot multiply a seed that you don’t sow. Sow a seed.

BE PATIENT

Farmers understand there is seed, time, and harvest. Don’t forget that time is the connector between the seed and the harvest.

GOD IS NOT TRYING TO GET SOMETHING FROM YOU; HE'S TRYING TO GET SOMETHING TO YOU.

Trust. Let go. As you let go of what you have in your hand, you are able to receive what God is trying to put in your hand! Give, and it will be given back to you in good measure.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!

I always have enough, because Philippians 4:19 says, "God shall supply ALL my needs, according to His riches."  I always have enough, because My God is more than enough. I believe that seeds meet needs. I am a sower, and therefore I am a reaper. God is a multiplier, and so am I.

I am called to be fruitful and multiply. God is multiplying every good seed that I have ever sown. As I give, He gives back to me good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, in Jesus’ Name!

STOP TRYING TO STOP

Instead, just continue to fast from wrong thinking. Proverbs 23:7 says, "As a man thinks, so is he." Your thoughts will shape your decisions; your decisions will shape your actions; your actions will shape your habits.

AWAKEN TO THE GRACE OF GOD

Romans 6:14 tells us that sin does not have dominion over us "...for we are not under the law but under grace." Embrace the grace! It is the free, unearned, and undeserved love of God!

GRACE EMPOWERS

Titus 2:11 says, "It is the grace of God that enables and instructs us to resist and deny ungodliness." Go to God’s throne of grace right now and ask for His help.

HIS YOKE IS EASY

You are yoked to Jesus. That means He will carry the weight of your struggle and walk you through it.

CHANGE HAPPENS TO YOU, NOT BY YOU

Romans 12:2 says, "Be transformed." This is something that happens TO you, as you renew your mind to God’s Word. It’s happening to you right now as you fast from wrong thinking! And as you fill your mind with God’s goodness, it LEADS you to "repentance" (which is: to change your thinking, Romans 2:4).

"THERE AIN'T NO CAN'T"

(Quote from Mickey to Rocky in the movie, Rocky II) Get rid of "can’t" from your vocabulary and your mindset. You can do all things through Christ.

STOP BEATING YOURSELF UP ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVEN’T DONE

We often punish ourselves with self-condemnation. We will never do enough for God. That’s why Jesus did it all. He paid for sin, the curse, and our failure. Our job is to believe.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!

I am not under the bondage or control of any sin, habit, or problem in my life anymore. I am under the grace of God, giving me dominion over sin and temptation.

I am yoked to Jesus. Therefore, it is His strength that I walk in. As I renew my mind to the Word of God, I am being changed and transformed, in Jesus' Name!

So trust him and lay it all at his throne.

YOU HAVE A DESTINY

Believe it. Jeremiah 1:5 says, "Before you were formed in your mother’s womb, I knew you and destined you..."

REMEMBER THE SONG, "YOU'RE JUST TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. CANT TAKE MY EYES OFF OF YOU"

This is what God is saying about you! Genesis 16:13 says, "You are the God who sees me!"

YOU CANNOT GO UNNOTICED

Luke 8:47 says, "Then, the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at His feet." You are chosen by God.

JESUS IS COMING OVER!

Remember Zacchaeus climbing up a tree to see Jesus? In Luke 19:5, "Jesus looked up and said to him, ‘Zacchaeus, come down. I must stay at your house today.’" He wants to come to YOUR house today. YOU ARE THAT IMPORTANT TO HIM.

YOU ARE THE 🍎 OF THE FATHER'S EYE

Whoever touches you is touching the apple of God’s eye. You are God’s greatest desire. You bring Him great joy!

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!

I have a destiny. I am chosen by God. I cannot go unnoticed by Jesus. He sees me, and recognizes me, and calls me His own. He is coming over to my house because He loves me and considers me significant. I reject all feelings of insignificance and unimportance. I am the apple of His eye, in Jesus’ Name!

YOUR GOD IS TOO SMALL! EVERYTHING CHANGES WHEN WE LET GO OF A SMALL GOD. HOW BIG IS YOUR GOD?

Scientists estimate there are over 100 billion galaxies and 100 billion stars in each of them! And God created them & calls them all by name. He’s BIG.

HOW BIG IS HE?

He’s big enough to take away the sin of the world; to allow us to make mistakes without punishment; to put great dreams in human hearts; & big enough to not have to threaten us to accept Him. He’s a BIG, BIG GOD!

THINK BIG!

Renew your mind to God’s language. For example: "Ask for the nations" (Psalm 2); "Speak to the mountain" (Mark 11); "Your descendants shall be as numerous as the stars" (Genesis 15); "You shall possess the land" (Numbers 13), and so on. God uses big language and gives us big dreams!

ASK BIG! GET YOUR JABEZ ON!

He prayed: "Lord, bless me indeed. Enlarge my territory..." Ask Him that today. "...and God granted his request." Ephesians 3:20 says, "God is able to do exceeding abundantly beyond all that we can ask or think." Start asking and thinking the way God says to.

NEVER STOP DREAMING AND ENVISIONING A BETTER LIFE

In Acts 2:17 God says, "In the last days I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams."  You see? He says, "Old men will dream dreams" because even as we get older, we are not supposed to stop dreaming! God wants you to keep dreaming no matter what!

TAKE YOUR SEAT!

What do I mean? God has seated us with Jesus Christ in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6). We have been given a divine authority and divine point of view. That’s how we need to look at life— from our position, seated above all limitations!

IMPRINT THIS ON YOUR HEART AND MIND:
ROYALTY DESTROYS INFERIORITY!

Acquaint yourself with your new bloodline. You are royalty in Christ. This makes you reign over life (Romans 5:17). When you know that you are made righteous and made royal by His blood, it makes you as confident and bold as a lion! Believe it!

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!

I give up small thinking. I let go of a small god. I agree with God’s way of looking at things and God’s language. I decide to think bigger and bigger every day, and to ask for the things God said I could ask for. I accept the visions and dreams that the Holy Spirit wants to give me; and I let go of all failure, disappointment, and fear-based thoughts, in Jesus’ Name!

PSALM 46:1 SAYS, "HE IS AN EVER-PRESENT HELP IN TIMES OF TROUBLE"

Wow! You have to love this thought. Have you ever had times of trouble? But notice, He is ever-present. Then, it says, help in times of trouble. It is His ever-presence that brings us help in times of trouble.

TAKE HIM AT HIS WORD

Jesus said in Matthew 28:20, "Lo, I am with you always; even to the end of the age." There is no way to misinterpret this verse. Jesus is with YOU always. That has to warm your heart and comfort you.

CHRISTIANITY IS NOT A LIFE OF ATTAINMENT, BUT A LIFE OF RECOGNITION

In Job 3:25, Job feared that his children would curse God, and that’s what happened. When you realize fear has the power to produce negative results, you stop dabbling in it. When a child learns what fire can do, he no longer plays with matches!

CHRISTIANITY IS NOT ABOUT US FINDING GOD

It’s about Jesus finding us, spilling His blood to cleanse us from all unrighteousness, taking us into His arms, and breathing His very Spirit into us. Now He lives in every person that has accepted Him as their Savior and Lord. Romans 8:11 tells us that the Spirit of God lives in us!

RESIST THE TEMPTATION TO PRAY, "GOD, COME DOWN AND HELP ME" OR "SEND YOUR SPIRIT"

He has already come. He has already sent His Spirit. Our battle is to believe this whether we feel His presence or not. He is in us!

IT’S NOT US LIVING FOR GOD. IT’S US LIVING FROM GOD

Galatians 2:20 says, "It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me."

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!

I am not separated from God in any way. He is an ever-present help in my time of trouble. His ever-presence brings me help! I recognize that He is already in me. That’s what makes my faith work.

God is not far off. He is right here, right now. I am surrounded by His love and enveloped in His presence. Therefore I am not afraid. I am not trying to live FOR God; I am living FROM Him. His power is in me. His presence is in me. His love is in me. And nothing can ever separate me from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus, my Lord! Amen.

YOU ARE A WORK OF ART—A WORK IN PROGRESS

God is the potter and we are the clay (Jeremiah 18:1-6). God is working on you to make you what He wants you to be. Trust the Artist to make a masterpiece. Be flexible and adaptable. See yourself as a GOOD work in progress.

WITHHOLD JUDGMENT OF YOURSELF (OR OTHERS)

Philippians 1:6 says, "He who began a GOOD work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ." Don’t prejudge what your capacity is or what your potential is. He’s only just begun!

GOD DOESN'T THROW YOU OUT

HE NEVER GIVES UP ON YOU. Jeremiah 18:4 says, "The clay was marred, so He made it again." He didn’t discard it. He made it again. Thank God! He’s re-making you!

YOU ARE CHANGING AS YOU READ THIS!

Whatever flaws you have, they are not the final sentence. You are NOW being transformed to the very image of Jesus!

EMBRACE THE GRACE

Paul said in 1 Corinthians 15:10, "I AM what I AM by the grace of God." It’s God’s grace IN YOU that is making you what you are. You are not a composite of your parents’ mistakes, your mistakes, or others’ opinions of you. You’re awesome! You are a work of God’s grace.

TAKE ANOTHER LOOK!

The Bible is a mirror that reflects what God and you really look like! We are everything God says we are. As Jesus is, so are we in this world! (1 John 4:17) THAT’S the way you are!

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!

I am unlimited in my ability to grow and change. God is the potter and I am the clay. I am what God says I am. He began a good work in me, and He will finish it. He is making me into something GOOD. I am His workmanship—His work of art. He’s good at this and has been doing it for a long time! I am not in bondage to my weaknesses and former limitations. They do not define me. Every day and every moment that passes is making me more and more like Jesus!

LET'S CHANGE IT TODAY

WE GET WHAT JESUS DESERVES

Romans 8:17 tells us that we are joint heirs with Jesus Christ. His inheritance is ours. 1 John 4:17 says, "As He is, so are we in this world." This is the great exchange! We deserved the curse, but instead we get His blessing.

BE COVENANT-MINDED

You have a covenant with God. A covenant is a contract—in this case, a contract that is guaranteed by the shed blood of Jesus Christ.

BE GRACE-MINDED

Grace is when God gives us what we don’t deserve. Hebrews 4:15 says, "Therefore, let us draw near with confidence [boldly] to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need."

HAVE CONFIDENCE IN GOD, NOT YOURSELF

(1 John 3:20–21). Confidence and faith enables God to answer prayers in our lives.

REJECT CONDEMNATION

It is our heart that condemns us for our mistakes and shortcomings. When we feel condemned, we lose confidence, and then we believe we can’t receive anything from God.

ACCEPT YOUR FREEDOM IN CHRIST

There is now NO condemnation for those who are in Christ! (Romans 8:1)

STOP BEATING YOURSELF UP ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVEN’T DONE

We often punish ourselves with self-condemnation. We will never do enough for God. That’s why Jesus did it all. He paid for sin, sickness, the curse, and our failure. Our work, our battle, is to simply believe.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!

I let go of the mindset that tells me I’m not holy enough, or I haven’t done enough to receive answered prayers. I receive His promises by faith. I am a joint heir with Jesus Christ. I expect to get what He deserves, not what I deserve. The throne of His grace is always open! His river of lavish love-gifts are always flowing towards me! I receive His grace, freely and lavishly, in Jesus’ Name!

BEING OFFENDED TRAPS YOU

Skandalon (offense) is the trigger of a well-baited trap. When an animal touches the trigger of a snare, it snaps down on him and he is trapped. When you are offended, you are the one caught in the trap. By thinking and knowing this, it will empower you to stay out of the traps.

BEING OFFENDED COMES FROM SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS

We think, "How could they do that to me? I would never have done that!" But we have all sinned. Embrace humility with the sure knowledge that you have failed, too. And offense loses its grip on you.

YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY ATTENTION!

1 Corinthians 13:5 (Amplified Bible) says, "Love (God’s love in us) is not touchy or fretful or resentful." Why? "Because it pays no attentionto a suffered wrong." We get offended when we pay attention to the wrong we have suffered. Stop paying attention. It’s too expensive.TAKE BACK CONTROL

We let others control us when we pay attention to what they did to us. What God did FOR you is greater than what others have done TO you. Focus on what God has done for you.

EXPRESS UP, NOT OUT

Fully express your anger and hurt out loud to God. Tell Him how much it hurt. Forgive the offender (out loud to God), whether you feel anything or not; and ask Him to heal you.

NOTHING CAN OFFEND YOU

How is that possible? Psalm 119:165 says, "Those who love the Word have great peace, and nothing offends them." One of the meanings of the Greek word for "love" is "attachment". Attach yourself to what God says, and you’ll detach from the power of what others have done or said to you. That’s what it means to love God’s Word.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!

I am free from being offended. I am free from the emotions of offense, bitterness, and the right to feel mad. I will not be trapped by those feelings. I love God’s Word. I attach myself to what He said and did. I refuse to pay attention to the wrong done to me. I forgive and release those that have hurt me. I express my feelings to God, and I am healed, in Jesus’ Name!

NO ONE CAN KEEP YOU IN YOUR CURRENT SITUATION, EXCEPT YOU

We must begin TODAY to accept total responsibility to become victors, not victims. You are MORE than a conqueror—more than a victor.

PEOPLE MAY HAVE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH HOW YOU GOT IN A SITUATION

But only YOU can decide whether you stay in the situation.

THE VICTIM MENTALITY ENDS WHEN WE TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR ATTITUDE AND DIRECTION IN LIFE

Deuteronomy 30:15,19 says, "See, I have set before you this day, life and prosperity and death and adversity . . . so choose life, that both you and your descendants might LIVE (the victorious, abundant, God kind of life)."

ASK THE HOLY SPIRIT TO HELP YOU. FULL RESPONSIBILITY DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE'RE IN IT ALONE

God is on our side, and He will help us. It’s natural to look for help—but let’s get it from God. John 16:13 says, "The Holy Spirit is our Helper!" When you have His help, you don’t need to blame anyone for anything! We blame when we feel helpless—but we’re NOT!

UNDERSTAND THE ROOT WORD OF RESPONSIBILITY IS RESPONSE

We may not be able to control everything that others do to us, but we can control our RESPONSE. In our response, lies our freedom and our growth!

DON'T GIVE AWAY YOUR POWER

We give away our power to live in victory, health, and success—when we allow others to determine how we RESPOND. We have the power to forgive, the power to recover, and the power to overcome anything. When we blame others, we give away that power to them.

TAKE CHARGE OVER WHAT GOD HAS GIVEN YOU

The master said to the servant who hid his talent, "Why didn't you at least invest my money so I could have received interest?" (Matthew 25:24–27) He blamed the master and excused himself. As a result, he fell to the temptation of resentment and fear. He lost everything because he had a victim mentality.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!

No one can keep me down! I am not a victim. I am a victor. I take full responsibility for my responses in life—my attitudes and my decisions. Holy Spirit, I am asking for your help. You live in me, and you are my Helper! I refuse to give away my power by blaming others. I take responsibility for my thoughts, my actions, and my REACTIONS. I abandon the idea that my situation is the fault of anyone else. I am an overcomer. I am more than a conqueror, in Jesus’ Name!

THINK ABOUT THE RESURRECTION EVERY DAY

This reveals the miraculous power of God to do anything! We tend to save these thoughts for Easter, but we need to think about the resurrection all the time. It awakens hope and faith in the possibilities of God.

STOP THINKING OR SAYING, "I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT"

Cynicism and skepticism have filled our culture. We need to get out of the habit of questioning and doubting the possibility of things. When you think there is no way, remember that JESUS IS THE WAY!

DEAL WITH THE REAL PROBLEM

It’s not whether God will help. It’s whether we believe. The man with the demon-possessed son came to Jesus and said, "If you can do anything, help us..." Jesus responded and said, "If you can believe..."See? It’s not whether God can do it. It’s whether we can believe it. And remember that faith comes from hearing God’s Word.

YOU ARE BIGGER THAN A MOUNTAIN

Believe that your words move mountains. Matthew 17:20 says, "You shall say to this mountain, ‘Remove from here to there,’ and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible to you." That’s big! You’re big!

MEDITATE ON PEOPLE WHO HAD AN IMPOSSIBLE TURNAROUND

Abraham was 99 years old when he had a son. Sarah was 90! Moses parted the Red Sea. The list goes on and on. Find those people in the Bible and fill your mind with their testimonies. Hebrews 12:1 says, "We have a great cloud of witnesses surrounding us..." If it could happen for them, it can happen for you, and it will.

GOD CAN'T LIE

There is only ONE THING in this world that is impossible: it’s impossible for God to lie. Don’t throw away your confidence in God’s promises. He will fulfill them.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!

All things are possible for me because I believe God’s Word. All of His promises are possible because all His promises are "Yes"; and He can’t lie. Jesus is the WAY when it seems like there is no way. Faith comes as I hear God’s Word; and faith moves the impossible mountain as I speak God’s Word today, in Jesus’ Name!

NEVER BE SATISFIED WITH JUST RECOGNIZING A PROBLEM

There are enough critics and complainers in the world. The world needs solution-minded people, not just those who can report a problem.

WE ARE COMPENSATED IN LIFE FOR THE PROBLEMS WE SOLVE, NOT THE PROBLEMS WE MERELY RECOGNIZE

In Genesis 41, Joseph not only recognized the famine coming, but he offered a solution for the famine. As a result, he became the most powerful man in the world. Even Pharaoh bowed his heart to Joseph and recognized his power.

LOVE MATH!

What do I mean? Mathematics is a great discipline because it proves there is a solution to every problem. Whether you liked math in school, we need to get this: there is a solution to everything. Look for it.

YOU HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST

With His mind, you will find His solutions. With every problem man created, God had a solution. And you have His mind!

LEAN ON THE HOLY SPIRIT

As we are led by the Holy Spirit and pray in the Holy Spirit, we bring His solutions into our situation. Romans 8:26–27 says, "the Spirit helps our weaknesses. For we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us ...according to the will [solutions] of God."

STOP TALKING ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND START TALKING TO IT

Jesus said, "If you shall say to this mountain, be removed and cast into the sea, and do not doubt... it shall obey you." Use your mouth to move the problem.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!

I believe that God will give me the interpretations to life’s problems and that He will bless me with wisdom and answers. I believe there is a solution to every problem because I have the mind of Christ. I welcome the Holy Spirit to pray through me and bring God’s will and solutions to my life and to the lives of those around me, in Jesus’ Name!

TREAT ANXIETY AS A SIGNAL RATHER THAN A CONDITION

It is a signal to pray, and prayer will change the thing you are facing.

MORE PRAYING ABOUT IT = LESS WORRYING ABOUT IT

James 5:16 says, "The prayer of the righteous avails much." Stop trying to SUBTRACT the anxiety. Instead, just ADD prayer the moment you feel it, and anxiety will leave!

WHEN PANIC ATTACKS, ATTACK BACK!

How do you attack anxiety and panic? By speaking God's Word out of your mouth.

IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT!

Embrace this truth. Don't blame yourself for feeling anxious. It's the thief that comes to steal, kill, and destroy. Stop beating yourself up when you feel anxiety. Instead, beat up on the enemy by speaking God's Word.

REMEMBER YOUR VALUE

Because you are so valuable in God's eyes, He will care for you. Yes, He values you, because He paid for you with the blood of Jesus! Worry and anxiety lose their power when you remember your value.

BREATHE PRAISE TO GOD

"Let everything that has breath, praise the Lord" (Psalm 150:6). Experts agree that breathing literally helps manage anxiety. But when you BREATHE praise to God, you don't just manage anxiety, you MASTER it.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!

Anxiety has lost its power over me. When I feel anxious, it is a signal to pray and praise God. When I add prayer, anxiety is subtracted. Because I am so valuable to God, I know that He will take care of me. I attack panic by speaking the Word of God. The Prince of Peace lives inside of me, therefore, I have peace guarding my heart and mind. I breathe praise to God today, in Jesus’ Name!

YOU DON'T HAVE TO FIND HAPPINESS

It will find you! Jesus tells us in Matthew 6:33 that as we seek His kingdom “...all these things will be added to you.” Expect happiness to be added to you as you put His kingdom first. How do you do that? Start each day by planting the seed of God’s Word in your life.

HAPPY IS THE MAN WHO DOES NOT CONDEMN HIMSELF

Refuse to tolerate condemnation another second of your life. Romans 8:1 says, "there is no condemnation". Believe that Jesus freed you from condemnation, and happiness will come!

TREAT UNHAPPINESS AS A SIGNAL TO TRUST GOD

Jeremiah 17:7 says, “Happy is the man that trusts in the Lord.”Declare that you trust Him today!

THE SUPREME HAPPINESS IN LIFE IS THE ASSURANCETHAT YOU ARE LOVED

You can be sure God loves you—no matter what. Nothing can separate you from His love. Think on that.

GOD WILL HELP YOU BE HAPPY TODAY

Psalm 146:5 says, “Happy is he whose help and hope are in the Lord.”Ask for His help today. Ask Him for hope today. Believe you have received it, and joy will come.

IN HIS PRESENCE IS FULLNESS OF JOY

Be mindful that you are in His presence now, by the blood of Jesus. And the Holy Spirit lives in you! It will change your view of life.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!!

I have the fullness of joy and happiness in life because I am in God’s presence, and the Holy Spirit lives in me. I walk in the supreme happiness of life, knowing that I am loved by God. I refuse to condemn myself because there is no condemnation in Christ Jesus. God will always help me, and my hope is in Him. Therefore, I am happy, in Jesus’ Name!

GOD'S NOT MAD AT YOU, HE'S MAD ABOUT YOU

Dispel the myth of an angry God. He poured out His wrath on Jesus while on the cross, so He could pour out His love on you forever. "God is love." (1 John 4:8)

OUR FEELINGS FOLLOW OUR THOUGHTS

Flood your mind with the thought, "My Heavenly Father tenderly loves me!" (John 16:27 AMP) You and God are inseparable. Nothing can separate you from Him or His love. Believe this with every fiber in your being!

RECOGNIZE YOUR VALUE

The value of a piece of art is not determined by the cost to make it, but rather by how much someone would pay to have it. God paid for us with the blood of Jesus. That makes us as valuable to God, as Jesus Himself! You are priceless!

YOU DON'T HAVE TO EARN SOMETHING GOD HAS ALREADY GIVEN YOU

He loves you. That can’t be earned. It is a gift from God (John 3:16). Accept it. Your value is not determined by what you’ve done or not done. Just be loved.

REJECT THE VOICES OF REJECTION

Look in the mirror and tell yourself that you are chosen by God, accepted, and outrageously loved by your Heavenly Father!

KNOW YOUR CALLING

By this, I’m not referring to your calling to serve in ministry or your profession. I’m talking about what God calls you. He calls you His beloved continually in the Bible. Do a word search. You are His beloved. So, be loved!

Think It And Say It!!!

God is not mad at me, He’s mad about me! I am outrageously loved by Him! His love was shown on the cross and His love and favor are for a lifetime! My Heavenly Father tenderly loves me. Therefore, I will feel His love today! He continually calls me His beloved. Nothing can separate me from His love. I am valuable and priceless to Him. I am as valuable to God as Jesus is. I receive His love by faith, in Jesus’ Name!

MEDITATE ON THE FACT THAT GOD'S WORD IS TRUE

In John 17:17, Jesus said, "Thy Word is truth." What God says is fact—whether you feel it, see it, or have ever experienced it.

CONSIDER GOD'S TRACK RECORD

1 Kings 8:56 says, "...Every word has come true of all His good promise..." (NLV). Fear leaves when you can rely on something that can’t fail. God has never failed to fulfill His promises. There are over 1000 predictions or prophecies in the Bible—promises that God made before they happened. The chances of merely 17 of these coming to pass are 1 out of 450 billion x 1 billion x 1 trillion! Yet, not one of these promises has failed.

ACCEPT THE TRUTH THAT WHAT WE FEAR COMES UPON US

In Job 3:25, Job feared that his children would curse God, and that’s what happened. When you realize fear has the power to produce negative results, you stop dabbling in it. When a child learns what fire can do, he no longer plays with matches!

PERFECT LOVE CASTS OUT FEAR

(1 John 4:18) Flood your mind with thoughts of love—God’s love for you, and what He was willing to do to rescue you. If He would die for you, while you were in sin and separated from God, there’s just nothing He wouldn’t do for you! Think on that, and fear will leave.

THERE IS A PROMISE FROM GOD'S WORD FOR EVERY NEED YOU WILL EVER EXPERIENCE

In fact, there are over 7000 promises in the Bible. That’s 7000 solutions to life’s problems! For example, there is a promise of protection in Psalm 91:1–12, which delivers you from the fear of evil, sickness, or tragedy.

PAUSE AND DWELL ON THE FACT THAT GOD IS WITH YOU

God’s presence is the secret to a fear-free life. Ultimately, all fear is a sense of God’s absence or our separation from God. By contrast, a sense of God’s presence delivers us from fear. Hebrews 10:19 says, "We are in His presence by the blood of Jesus." You are in His presence now—therefore, fear not!

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!

God’s Word is true, whether I feel it or not. He has kept all of His promises and has never failed. I am in God’s presence by the blood of Jesus; therefore, because He is with me, I will fear no evil! God loves me perfectly, which casts out all my fear. I have power, love, and a sound mind, in Jesus’ Name!

TAKE INVENTORY!

God has NOT given you a spirit of fear; but POWER, LOVE, and a SOUND MIND. (2 Timothy 1:7)

BELIEVE THAT POWER IS IN YOU

Ephesians 3:20 says, "God is able to do exceeding abundantly above all we can ask or think according to the power that is at work within you." There is power in you that enables God to do beyond what you can ask or think!

THINK AND ASK BIG!

Give God something to work with, because He can do beyond. We have to at least give Him a base to begin with.

RECOGNIZE THE HOLY SPIRIT IN YOU

Acts 1:8 says, "You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you..." This power (dunamis = dynamite) is already in you. Romans 8:11 says, "The very same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives IN YOU."

TAKE THE LIMITS OFF

Don’t limit God. Psalm 78:41 says that the children of Israel limited the Lord because they did not remember His power (verse 42). We free God’s hand to bless when we remember His previous blessings.

EXPECT!

Never underestimate the power of expectation. Expect God’s power to strengthen you today. Expect to be led by His Spirit.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!

I have POWER in my life right now. Through the Holy Spirit in me, I have the power to overcome temptation, the power to change my life for the better, the power to be healed, the power to forgive, and the power to speak God’s Word and see His promises show up in my life. I will think big and ask big, and therefore the POWER OF GOD’S SPIRIT WITHIN ME will bring it to pass in my life, in Jesus’ Name!

We’ve all felt at times that we can’t change a certain habit or a weakness in our lives. We often feel "confined" by whatever has previously "defined" us. But, as we change our mindsets regarding WHO we are and what God has given us, ANYTHING can change. Today a new hope will be born in you!

AWAKEN TO GOD'S GRACE

His grace empowers us to change, to break a habit, or to be free from our past. The river of grace is always flowing. Just step into it and receive!

BELIEVE THAT THE POWER TO CHANGE IS A GIFT

2 Timothy 2:25 says God grants "repentance" or "the power to change" AS A GIFT.

ALL CHANGE BEGINS BY BELIEVING YOU ARE LOVED BY GOD

Romans 2:4b says, "Don’t you realize that it is God’s loving kindness that is trying to lead you to change the way you think and act?" (GWT)

HIS LOVE AND KINDNESS CHANGES THE WAY WE THINK; THEN THEY CHANGE THE WAY WE ACT

All lasting change begins by surrendering your thought life to the Word of God.

BELIEVE IN THE PROCESS THAT LEADS TO PROGRESS

Don’t worry if it doesn’t happen right away. Jesus touched the blind man once, in Mark 8, and then touched him a second time, before he was completely healed. I believe these next 40 days are going to be your SECOND touch from Jesus.

REDEFINE YOURSELF ONLY AS WHAT GOD SAYS ABOUT YOU

Disconnect from the past definition of your habits, traits, and limitations. You are being changed into His image.

Think it and Say It!!!

God has given me the gift to change. My habits, emotions, and life will change by changing the way I think. I submit to the process of renewing my mind, and I expect divine progress. I refuse to accept past definitions and limitations of myself. As I embrace God’s view of me, through His Word, I am being changed into His image, in Jesus’ Name!

"Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." "This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." "And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful."

2) Renewing Your Mind Changes You

3) Renewing Your Mind Gives You Purpose + Direction

I’m sure other people have different interpretations, but I have come to the conclusion that being “more than a conqueror” means you have such confidence that no matter what comes up in your life, you know that through Christ you can handle it. You know before you are ever faced with a problem that you’re going to have victory over it. You believe you can do whatever you need to do in life. Therefore, you don’t dread things, you don’t fear the unknown, and you don’t live in anxiety about what’s going to happen. It doesn’t really matter what the specifics of each situation are, you know you will be victorious through Christ.

Power Thought: I am more than a conqueror through Christ.

Renewing the mind is a process that takes time, but you can get started right away—getting excited each day about the progress that you have made. Learn to agree with all that God says to you in His Word and to disagree with all the lies of Satan. God has a good plan for you, and He desires to release it in your life.

Power Thought: My mind is being renewed daily, and my life is changing.

“They know that,” I said. “I want to teach them something really powerful, not a Sunday school lesson out of John 3:16.” The Lord reminded me that if people really knew how much He loves them, they would act differently than they do.

As I began to study the subject of receiving God’s love, I realized I was in desperate need of the message myself. I had a subconscious, vague sort of understanding that God loved me, but I needed deeper revelation. The love of God is meant to be a powerful force in our lives, one that will take us through even the most difficult trials without our ever doubting God’s love.

Power Thought: I am actively aware of God’s love for me.

You can easily feel overwhelmed by all the decisions you need to make daily unless you have confidence in your ability to make right ones. Don’t ever say again, “I have a hard time making decisions,” because when you think and speak like that you are setting yourself up for confusion. Instead, you can believe the next time you need to make a decision that you will hear from God, be led by the Holy Spirit, and know what to do. Even if you have had difficulty doing so in the past, this is a new day for you, and you are in charge of your thinking—it is no longer in charge of you!

Power Thought: My mind is calm, and I’m in control of my thinking.

Waiting to see how you feel each day is never a good idea. Has anyone ever invited you to do something and you responded, “Let me wait and see how I feel”? That just gives the devil room to make sure you don’t feel like doing what you need to do or what can benefit you. We will sometimes have unpleasant times, but we don’t have to live by our feelings; we can choose to stand firm and be stable when we find our strength in the One Who never changes.

Power Thought: In Christ, I am strong and stable.

1. God is the rock of refuge and safety.

2. God is my rock of protection.

3. God is my rock of foundation.

4. God is the rock of our salvation.

Faith expresses itself in love (see Galatians 5:6). How can we put our trust in God if we are not convinced He loves us at all times? Take God at His Word and begin to receive His love for you, which will set you free from all fear.

Power Thought: God’s love for me is perfect and unconditional; I have no fear.

You can literally think and talk yourself into victory or defeat. You not only get all the things you think and say, but you can have anything God says you can have in His Word. Jesus told people they would have what they believed, even sight for the blind men (see Matthew 9:27-30). They simply had to believe—to renew their minds to think as God thinks (see Romans 12:2 and Colossians 3:10)—and they could have the blessings God wanted them to have. . .and so can you!

Power Thought: I believe in God’s power that gives me victory over my bad habits.

1 PETER 5:8

Growing up, I watched a TV show called Wild Kingdom, which gave me insight into the jungles and wildlife in other countries. Without fail, every show about lions chasing after their prey made everyone stop to watch. While we didn’t want to see the poor antelope captured, we couldn’t move away from the TV until the tense situation was settled either way.

There was one characteristic that stood out regardless of whether it was lions, tigers, or hyenas hunting their prey—they sought out the one in the herd that was the weakest, whether because they were young or disabled physically. Many times the herd would circle around the youngest to protect them from the intense gaze of their predator. If the young animal should wander away from the herd, they were almost always caught in the jaws of a stronger animal and held down to be eaten alive.

In this wicked culture of the last days, our children and teens are also being stalked by a dangerous and evil predator named Satan. He will tempt mature believers to walk away from their faith, but his strongest urge is to wipe out the next generation in any way possible. It’s only when the body of believers surround our young people with prayer, solid biblical teaching, and strong examples of faith that they will be able to evade the enemy’s attack.

Christian mothers stay on their knees interceding for their children of all ages until Jesus calls them home. They live faithfully to God’s word without compromise even when tempted. As a result, their children are well equipped to stand up against Satan and conquer the enemy instead of being spiritually eaten alive and defeated by temptation.

PRAYER

Dear Lord, I need Your power from heaven to be the mother You called me to be in this world. I will protect my children from the devil by praying Your word over them every day. Amen.

Can you imagine your life without worry? Why not start today to live a worry-free life? Ask the Lord to show you every time you are taking on care instead of casting it off. When He makes you aware of it, be willing to immediately cast it on Him—you will enjoy life so much more. After a period of time, you will actually find it difficult to worry! It just won’t suit you any longer.

Power Thought: I can cast my care on God because He cares for me.

Even if you’re in a wilderness and it appears that there is no way out — God will create a new path of deliverance for your escape. God will bring you out of your circumstance with a mighty hand — even if He has to create a new way. There’s no place too dark where His Light cannot shine. There’s no valley too deep that His Love and Power cannot bring you out. Let God do the new thing in your life. It’s time to move forward. Let the past go. Don’t carry the bondage of the past into the future that God has for you. Reach for the new thing. God has so much in store for you. Leave the past behind and leap forward into God’s future.

9Behold, I will do a Is. 42:9; 48:6; (2 Cor. 5:17; Rev. 21:5)new thing,

Now it shall spring forth;

Shall you not know it?

Ex. 17:6; Num. 20:11; Deut. 8:15; Ps. 78:16; Is. 35:1, 6I will even make a road in the wilderness

And rivers in the desert.

Disobedience will keep you stagnant. The heart of Lot’s wife was stuck in Sodom. Although her physical body was moving forward her heart was stunted in the past. You can’t take a broken heart into a new season. Lot’s family was moving forward into another season and had to leave the stagnant place behind. Lot’s wife became a pillar of salt — a manifested reflection of her heart. She was stuck in the place of her disobedience. When you focus on the past, your heart becomes stunted at the place of your offense. When you disobey God your destiny becomes stuck at the point of your disobedience. Forgive and be set free. Obey God and walk forward in freedom, deliverance, and prosperity.

When you decide to turn back to your former lusts, you decide to idolize the past and exalt the former things over God’s Word. When you worship your lusts over God’s command, your Worship to God becomes stunted and muffled. What other idols are you exalting over God? Do you find it hard to Worship God freely? Maybe, you’ve exalted the pain(s) of the past and it’s become hard for you to lift up your hands and Worship God. Maybe, you’ve held on to past offenses and your heart has become stiff and it’s hard to focus on Worshipping God. Maybe, you’ve grown bitter in some areas and parts of your heart have turned into pillars of salt. Maybe, there are parts of your heart where you refuse to love again, heal again or open up again. God has called us to love. Focus forward on Him. Worship Him and allow God to heal your heart completely. “I am the Lord: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them. Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.” Isaiah‬ ‭42:8-10‬ ‭KJV‬‬

When God burns up and overthrows a thing, whether it’s an opportunity, a business, land, a job, a relationship or anything else that God has told you not to touch — don’t self-select the parts that you think are “good”, or seemingly salvageable. Remember Saul? In 1 Samuel 15, God commanded Saul to utterly destroy the Amalekites and to kill everything. Not some things — God told Saul to kill everything. You can’t take what God has told you to kill into this next season. Pass the “king test”. When God gives a command, He tests the character of your heart. As a king (a person of influence or one that God has set over an assignment that He wants accomplished in the Earth), your character is tested by God, to see if you will follow Him or adhere to the voice of the people. Don’t follow popular belief — submit to God’s instruction. Kill everything. Don’t hold on to what you think is right.

Saul failed the test. He held on to what he “thought” was valuable. What do you value most — God’s Instruction or the opinions of people? It’s your choice to choose to follow God’s Word for your life or you can fall into destiny destruction by listening to the opinions of people. Follow God with your whole heart. Overthrow the things that He’s overthrown in your life. Don’t carry extra weight. Don’t carry baggage into the next season. God wants you to let go of the past and release your faith for the future. His future for you is bright. You must take your next step forward in faith, knowing that God has your steps ordered when you follow His Instruction. God has not given you an assignment that you cannot handle. Ask God to connect you to the right people, those after His Heart, those who are for you and who are sent and set by God to handle your season with you. God wants His best for you, don’t look back. Don’t pick up what God has told you not to touch.

Prayer:

Father God, in the Name of Jesus, I thank You for Your Wisdom, Your Guidance and Your Instruction. I thank You, Father, that You’ll lead me through every season of my life. Father, I know that You’ll never leave me, nor forsake me. Father, I know that You are with me always. Father, I thank You that You’ll never abandon me and that You hear me when I call. Father, I know that You are near me and You’ll never fail me. My footsteps are ordered by Your Word and my heart follows Your every command. Lord, I repent of my sin and turn to You. Every prideful area, every slothful area, every slacking area in my life I repent and turn to You. Father, forgive me for any time that I did not listen to Your command. Lord I repent and turn every area of my heart to You, in Jesus Name, I am Your son and I turn to You forever. In Jesus Name. Amen.

Even after Lot saw that Sodom and Gomorrah were filled with wickedness and perversion, he still decided to settle in the region and he took up residence, in a perverted place, with his family. An opportunity may look good on the outside, but always ask God as to the direction you should take. Your steps and decisions that you make today are directly linked to the success or downfall of future generations. Every seemingly “good” opportunity is not a God led assignment. Seek God for instructions and allow Him to lead your next steps. Follow His lead and you’ll never steer your house in the wrong direction.

Genesis 19:24

24Then the Lord rained Deut. 29:23; Ps. 11:6; Is. 13:19; Jer. 20:16; 23:14; 49:18; 50:40; Ezek. 16:49, 50; Hos. 11:8; Amos 4:11; Zeph. 2:9; Matt. 10:15; Mark 6:11; Luke 17:29; Rom. 9:29; 2 Pet. 2:6; Jude 7; Rev. 11:8brimstone and Lev. 10:2fire on Sodom and Gomorrah, from the Lord out of the heavens.

Many Christians have become experts at hiding behind a facade of serenity when in truth they are masking a jumble of emotions: anger, hurt, fear, and bitterness.

In 1 Cor. 12:25-26, Paul describes how the body of Christ should function: “There should be no division in the body, but .. its parts should have equal concern for each other. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it.” In light of his instructions to share each other’s pain, why are so many of us determined to suffer alone? 

Remember the Enemy is after your mind. He come to kill, steal and destroy .

I set the course of my life today with my words:

I declare today that I will not be defeated, discouraged, depressed, or disappointed today.

I am the head, I have insight, I have wisdom, I have ideas, I have authority.

I exercise my authority today with my words and I decree a thing and it is so.

Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4) . . . the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead, lives in me . . . (Romans 8:11)

As I speak words today, they come to pass (Job 22:28); they go before me, they bring the things to pass that I desire; and they stop all attacks, assaults, oppression, and fear from coming to my life.

God is on my side today and, therefore, I cannot be defeated.

His favor surrounds me today as a shield. (Psalm 5:12) I expect favor today from heaven and from the earth.

Jesus had favor with God and man (Luke 2:52), and as He is so am I on this earth. (1 John 4:17)

Therefore, I have favor today with God and man. I expect and receive favor in my home, favor in my job, favor in my business, favor in my ministry, favor with my finances, favor in every deal I am involved in.

I have the wisdom of God today. I will think the right thoughts, say the right words and make the right decisions in every situation I face today.

My mouth speaks wisdom and my heart is filled with understanding. (Psalm 49:3) I ask for, and receive, an abundant supply of wisdom and understanding today from God (James 1:5) . . . wisdom from above, wisdom that is pure, peaceable, gentle, unwavering, willing to yield, without hypocrisy. (James 3:17)

Wisdom and understanding are better than silver and gold and nothing I desire can compare with them; therefore, I make it my ambition and desire to have understanding and wisdom; therefore I know I will have all of the other desires of my heart. (Proverbs 8:10–11)

You weren’t an accident. You weren’t mass produced. You aren’t an assembly-line product. You were deliberately planned, specifically gifted, and lovingly positioned on the Earth by the Master Craftsman. — Max Lucado

The human body is fascinating. Not just in the way it looks but in the way it manages all of the systems. Take illnesses, for instance. When a foreign object, like a germ, gets into our body, our white blood cells congregate to eradicate the germ. Most of the time, the germ is annihilated and we stay healthy.

Or take a bone in the human body when it’s been broken. Bone repair begins within a few hours of the injury. A blood clot forms, cells are sent in to clean up the area, and new blood vessels are formed to expedite the healing process. Collagen moves in and forms a callus, which mimics a new bone, but is much softer. This holds it all in place while the new bone forms.

Does all of that just happen? No, this type of precision in forming the human body and the ways it works was created by God. And because of that, we are considered God’s workmanship, His masterpiece. We are literally God’s works of art.

But we don’t always feel like it, do we? On any given day, we…

...complain about our personalities.

...wished we were taller.

…aspire to have someone else’s body.

...prefer to be gifted like our friend.

God didn’t make a mistake in creating you. He did not miscalculate any part of bringing you into existence. He knew every aspect of your being before you took a breath of air outside your mother’s womb. He set your hair texture, eye color, height, and personality makeup. And in doing all of this in His perfect way, He knew exactly how He would use your unique composition to impact our world.

So, the next time you feel bad about yourself or wish you looked differently, remember that God did not make a mistake. Quite the contrary. You are His work of art. You are His workmanship.

Reflect

• In your own words, write down what “I am God’s workmanship” means to you.
• Repeat “I am God’s workmanship” throughout your day — set a timer and say it every hour so that it will be deeply rooted in you. Write it on a card and place it where you can see it often.
• Think of a situation you have faced or will face where you can apply this truth.

God’s forgiveness extends to the worst offenders and to anyone who wishes to receive it—not because of who we are, but because of who He is. — Charles Swindoll

People have a hard time extending forgiveness toward others. We hold hostage the forgiveness that we should offer someone else. Not only that, but we beat ourselves up over our poor choices and even struggle to accept that we can be forgiven.

God’s unexplainable love for us was displayed for us by His selfless act of sending His Son to earth. Jesus willingly left the comforts of heaven, next to His Father, in order to pay the most severe penalty for you and for me. He died on a cross and thankfully, rose from the grave on the third day. His sacrifice redeemed us and paid for any sin: past, present, or future. Because of God’s love for us, we are forgiven. Let that sink in: we are forgiven.

Not because we are good but because He is good. 

Not because we deserve it but because Jesus paid for our sins.

In addition to receiving God’s forgiveness, we are free from condemnation. What that means is that God does not condemn us in any way once we become Christ followers. The blaming voices we hear from others as well as our spiritual enemy hold no power—or they shouldn’t. We can't let any accusation keep us from living the lives God has given us.  As the Message version of Romans 8:1 says, “we no longer have to live under a continuous, low-lying black cloud.”

So, let’s try something different when we are bombarded with condemning thoughts. Let’s recognize them, and speak truth over our minds. Yes, we have all made mistakes and have not lived up to God’s standard. But, God lavishes us daily with His perfect mercy and grace. Because of that, we are forgiven and free from condemnation.

Reflect

• In your own words, write down what “I am forgiven and free from condemnation” means to you.
• Repeat “I am forgiven and free from condemnation” throughout your day — set a timer and say it every hour so that it will be deeply rooted in you or write it on a card and place it where you can see it often.
• Think of a situation you have faced or will face where you can apply this truth.

The child of God works not for life, but from life; he does not work to be saved but because he is saved. — Charles Spurgeon

Every human being who has lived has a biological mother and father. Whether we have met them or not, we have them. We are their offspring. Some of us have parents that chose us, and we became their children through adoption.

Remembering your upbringing as a child might evoke great memories and cherished traditions. For some people, your experiences conjure up negative thoughts. Maybe your relationship with your earthly parents has positively enforced your view of God, or maybe it tainted how you see God’s love for you.

Regardless of your past viewpoint of your family, your Heavenly Father longs to fill your life with love and peace. John 1:12 says that if we receive Jesus and believe in His name, we get the right to become children of God. So, we’ve all been adopted! We are God’s kids and nothing can change that. His love for us and commitment to us is steadfast even if we sin catastrophically. Because of Jesus, God’s vast love covers us every single day.

So, whenever we face situations where we feel utterly defeated, we must remember that we are chosen, children of God. Whenever we feel like no one loves us and feel completely alone, we must remember that we are chosen, children of God. Whenever we feel neglected and overlooked, we must remember that we are chosen, children of God. The Creator of the universe, the Great I Am, the Almighty God chose you. You are a child of God!

Reflect

• In your own words, write down what “I am God’s child” means to you.
• Repeat “I am God’s child” throughout your day — set a timer and say it every hour so that it will be deeply rooted in you or write it on a card and place it where you can see it often.
• Think of a situation you have faced or will face where you can apply this truth.

Being consumed by what people think of you is the fastest way to forget what God thinks of you. — Craig Groeschel

Who are you?

When someone asks us that question, the first thing we typically mention is one of the duties or roles we perform daily. I’m a doctor. I’m a stay-at-home mom. I’m a firefighter. I’m a writer. But, that’s actually not who we are; that’s what we do.

It’s understandable that our response is to tell someone what we do. It’s as natural as breathing because what we do, well, it’s what we do every day. Whether we like what we do or not, it can’t be what defines us. If it is, our identity will be misplaced because our jobs and roles will change throughout our lives. And with a misplaced identity, we live a life with little contentment and one always striving for acceptance.

As Christ followers, our identity comes from who God says we are, not who others say we are. Yet, every day we believe things about ourselves that are untrue. These untruths don’t line up with the Truth about us according to the Bible. Not only is it easy to assume our identities from what we do—often, we’re labeled by those around us:

Loser

Quitter

Alcoholic

Cheater

Lazy

Workaholic

Nobody

Those words, those people, and those descriptions are not who we are. If you’ve never understood your true identity as a Christian, this Bible Plan will help you begin this lifelong pursuit of knowing your real self.  God calls you:

His Child

Forgiven One

His Masterpiece

New in Christ

More Than a Conqueror

Safe From the Evil One

Citizen of Heaven

Over the next nine days of this Plan, we’ll learn more about who we are in Christ. Knowing who we are as Christ followers is essential in our walk with Jesus. When we know who we are, we’ll know what to do.

Reflect

• What roles or labels have been given to you that you love? (i.e., father, teacher, friend, beautiful, athletic.)
• Is there a negative label or role that has followed you most of your life? Who gave it to you—others or self?

JESUS DECLARES YOU: NOT GUILTY

This doesn’t mean that you’ve never sinned or done wrong. This means that He washed away all your sin and guilt with His blood. The Word of God declares Jesus as our guilt offering, thus declaring us free from guilt.

SEE WHAT GOD SEES

Accept Colossians 1:22, which says that through Jesus’ blood, "He presents you holy and faultless and unblamable in the Father’s eyes."When God sees you, He sees Jesus—like when Jacob went before his father Isaac with the hair, skin, and scent of his brother. The father saw Jacob as if he were Esau (Genesis 27:15-27). And He sees you as if you were Jesus—without guilt.

MEDITATE ON JOB 10:7

"According to your knowledge, I am indeed not guilty..." (NASB) When a person is born again, they are cleansed of sin and guilt by the blood of Jesus, and therefore not guilty.

WHEN YOU BLOW IT, DON'T DENY IT

Admit it. Confess it. 1 John 1:9 says, "If you confess your sin, He is faithful and just to forgive you and to cleanse you from all unrighteousness."

IT’S ALREADY DONE! BELIEVE THAT IT IS ALREADY DONE

The last words of Jesus on the cross were, "It is finished". At that moment, the price was paid for your sin and guilt. Hebrews 1:3 says, "He cleansed us from our sin."

STOP THINKING THAT YOU HAVE TO FEEL GUILTY TO BE FORGIVEN

Sometimes we think we owe it to people to feel guilty and bad for everything. Stop thinking that. You don’t owe anyone anything. Don’t think guilt somehow pays for something. The blood of Jesus paid it all. When we feel like we owe God guilt or we owe it to others to wallow in guilt, it’s an insult to His blood.

STOP BEATING YOURSELF UP ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVEN’T DONE

We often punish ourselves with self-condemnation. We will never do enough for God. That’s why Jesus did it all. He paid for sin, the curse, and our failure. Our job is to believe.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!

Jesus has declared me not guilty. Even when I feel I don’t do enough, or that I’m not good enough, God says that faith in Him is enough. I don’t have to feel guilty to be forgiven. I am forgiven by faith in Jesus. Today I stop beating myself up about all that I’ve done or haven’t done. I don’t have to be perfect. He already is—therefore, I rest my faith in Him, in Jesus’ Name!

GOD IS A YES GOD

2 Corinthians 1:20—"All the promises of God are YES!" He says YES to everything He has promised. He’s a positive God. And you are made in His image.

CAN IT!

Success comes in CANS, not in cannots! Philippians 4:13 says, "I CAN do all things through Christ which strengthens me."

GET RID OF THE NEGATIVE PSYCHIC IN YOU

The "negative psychic" in you presumes you know what people are thinking about you and it’s usually bad. "She thinks I’m an idiot"; "I can tell he’s always judging me" ...etc. The only person’s thoughts that matter about you are God’s, and THEY ARE GOOD.

STOP SEEING GIANTS AROUND YOU. AND START SEEING THE GIANT IN YOU!

Greater is He that is in you. Begin to see yourself conquering everything!

BE A THERMOSTAT, NOT A THERMOMETER

A thermostat SETS the temperature. It doesn’t read it. Set the thermostat of your attitude to "ABOVE ONLY" thinking. Deuteronomy 28:13 says, "You will be ABOVE ONLY and not beneath." The NIV says, "YOU WILL ALWAYS BE AT THE TOP."Refuse to accept any other way of thinking or living.

MAKE YOUR GREATEST DISCOVERY TODAY!

The greatest discovery in life is that you can change your life by changing the attitude of your mind. In Mark 9:23, Jesus said, "If you can believe, all things are possible."

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!

My life is getting easier not harder! I focus on the good things God has done in my life. I believe all things are possible! I look for opportunity to come my way because of my hope in Jesus. I’m above ONLY and not beneath. I am the head and not the tail. My attitude of faith and expectation in God takes precedence over all other facts... beginning today, in Jesus’ Name!

CAST YOUR CARES UPON GOD. HE WILL CARE FOR YOU

How? Be honest. Tell Him what’s wrong. Ask Him to carry it for you and believe He will. Remember, after you give Him your cares, don’t run to pick them back up. Trust Jesus to carry the load for you.

SEE YOURSELF ATTACHED, OR YOKED, TO GOD

He holds you up and pulls you up when you are weak and overwhelmed. You are one with Him. When you feel weak and burdened, remember that He is carrying you.

BEGIN TO BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN HANDLE ANYTHING

Start believing this today. Mark 9:23 says, "All things are possible for those who believe."

FEAST ON THIS THOUGHT: NOTHING IS TOO DIFFICULT FOR GOD

If nothing is too difficult for Him, and He lives in you, then nothing is too difficult for you. You will make it!

GOD WILL COMPLETE THOSE THINGS THAT CONCERN YOU

As you surrender those concerns to God, they become His responsibility. He will complete, fulfill, perfect, and bring those things to pass. He will lift your burden and finish what He started in your life.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!

I can handle anything today, because I am yoked to Jesus. Today I refuse to be overwhelmed. I cast all my cares on Jesus. He cares for me and will carry my load.

Nothing is too difficult for God. Therefore, I declare that nothing is too difficult for me today! He is the author and finisher of my faith, in Jesus' Name!

THE PATH OF THE RIGHTEOUS GETS BRIGHTER AND BRIGHTER UNTIL THE FULL DAY

Expect it to get brighter today!

YOU HAVE A COVENANT OF INCREASE FROM GOD

Psalm 115:14 says, "May the Lord give you increase." Deuteronomy 1:11 says, "May the Lord increase you a thousand times and bless you as He has promised." Expect!

ELIMINATE THE "HALF EMPTY GLASS" MENTALITY

In fact, don’t accept it "half full" either! Think: My cup runs over!

YOUR LIFE IS GOING TO END UP BETTER THAN IT STARTED!

Ecclesiastes 7:8 says, "Better is the end of a thing than the beginning." Haggai 2:9 says, "The latter days of this house shall be greater than the former."

LOOK AT HOW GOD DOES THINGS

He takes us from law to grace; from sin to righteousness; from sickness to health; from defeat to victory; therefore, expect things to get better and better in every area of your life.

EXPECT THE BEST TODAY!

In Luke 15:22, the father said, "Bring the best robe, and put it on my son." You are God’s child. He wants the best for you. Believe for goodness and mercy to follow you all the days of your life.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!

No matter what is happening in this world, things are getting better and better for me! God has made me righteous through His blood; therefore, my path is getting brighter and brighter every day.

My inner man is being renewed, day by day. I have a covenant of increase and God is increasing me, and all that I have, more and more. I expect the best today. He has saved the best for last, and therefore I expect my coming days to be better than my past days, in Jesus’ Name!

GOD IS NOT MAD AT YOU; HE IS MAD ABOUT YOU!

This is something I started saying many years ago when I discovered God’s love. When you accept this thought, you will have confidence, expectation, and peace. How do I know this is true? Romans 8:38–39 says, "Nothing can separate you from the love of God..." You are forgiven, and you are LOVED.

THINK THIS NEW THOUGHT: GOD LOVES ME AS MUCH AS HE LOVES JESUS

In John 17:23, Jesus says to the Father, "...that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, as much as You have loved Me." What an amazing truth. God loves you as much as He loves Jesus!

HE THINKS PRECIOUS THOUGHTS ABOUT YOU ALL THE TIME!

Psalm 139:17–18 says, "How precious are Your thoughts toward me, O God... If I should count them, they would outnumber the sand. When I awake, I am still with You!"

WHAT GOD SAID TO JESUS IS THE SAME FOR YOU

"You are My beloved Son. In You, I am well-pleased." (Mark 1:11) Hallelujah! He doesn’t sound mad at Jesus. He sounds mad about Him! Well, 1 John 4:17 says, "As He is, so are we."

THERE IS NOTHING GOD IS HOLDING BACK FROM YOU

Romans 8:32 says, "He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not also with Him freely give us all things." Rejoice in this truth!

YOU ARE NOT CONDEMNED

Romans 8:1 says, "There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus..." God approves of you because of your faith in Jesus, not because you have done everything right. God’s love for you is non-negotiable. Jeremiah 31:3 says He loves you with an everlasting love. It is an unstoppable love!

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!

God is not mad at me; He is mad about me. He loves me as much as Jesus. He thinks precious thoughts about me all the time. I am His beloved, and He is mine!

There is nothing God is holding back from me. He didn’t hold back His best; therefore He won’t hold back the rest.

I refuse to be condemned. I am forgiven. I reject the thought that He is mad at me or against me. God is for me and not against me. His love toward me is unstoppable, in Jesus’ Name!

LET THIS PERMEATE YOUR MIND: GOD IS A GOD OF RESTORATION

Joel 2:25–26 says, "I will restore the years that have been lost."Whether it’s lost years, lost opportunity, lost finances, bad decisions, or what others have done to you—God will restore. He is the God of restoration.

DITCH THE MENTALITY OF SETTLING

We must refuse to settle. The ten lepers wouldn’t settle for their leprosy (Luke 17:11-19). They cried out to Jesus. The woman with the demon-possessed daughter wouldn’t settle with her daughter’s condition (Matthew 15:22). Bartimaeus wouldn’t settle with blindness (Mark 10:46-52). He wouldn’t stop until he recovered his sight. REFUSE to settle for the way things are, and choose the pursuit of God.

REALIZE THAT GOD WANTS YOU TO GO TO HIM AND TO ASK HIM TO AVENGE YOU

In Luke 18, the unjust judge avenged the widow because of her persistence. HOW MUCH MORE will our just and loving God avenge His children!

ALL THE PROMISES OF GOD ARE YES

He has promised restoration and recovery—so ask Him for them TODAY. God wants you to recover more than you do. Believe this.

BELIEVE THE PROMISE: THE THIEF HAS TO REPAY SEVEN-FOLD WHAT HE'S STOLEN

The devil is the thief. And Jesus has defeated him. He has given us authority over him. You have the right to get your stuff back. Jesus paid for it. Whatever good thing that has been lost in your life is coming back.

PROPHESY TO THE DRY BONES IN YOUR LIFE

Speak to whatever is lost and command it to come back. Use your words. Job 22:28 says, "I shall decree a thing and it will be so."

EXPECT RECOVERY!

"You shall surely overtake your enemies and you shall recover all"
(1 Samuel 30:8). Restoration and the recovery of what has been lost in our lives is a divine promise. Stand on it today.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!

I will recover all that has been lost in my life. I expect the restoration of lost relationships, lost money, lost hope, and lost opportunities. I will not settle for loss and lack. God will avenge me. He will restore what has been stolen from me. I ask Him and expect Him to avenge me of all that has been lost in my life. I call forth a seven-fold return of what has been taken from me, in Jesus’ Name!

DISCOVER THE POWER WITHIN YOU

Remember, anger comes from a sense of powerlessness. When we feel powerless to change something, we get afraid, leading us to anger. 2 Timothy 1:7 says, "God has not given us a spirit of fear, but power, love, and a sound mind." Meditate on this verse. You have power.

LISTEN QUICKLY AND SPEAK SLOWLY

James 1:19 says, "Be quick to hear, slow to speak, then the result is that you will be slow to anger!" Follow this simple pattern, and anger will lose its grip.

REALIZE THAT ANGER DOES NOT WORK

It doesn’t produce or achieve anything. James 1:20 says, "For the anger of man does not achieve (work, produce) the righteousness of God." If you had an employee that didn’t work, produce, or achieve, you would fire them, right? Fire your anger from your life. It doesn’t achieve anything.

DEAL WITH UNRESOLVED CONFLICT TODAY!

Ephesians 4:26 says, "Do not let the sun go down on your anger."Make peace with whomever you have something against today. Don’t let it fester. You’ll be amazed at how much less you will feel angry.

IT'S OK TO FEEL ANGER, BUT DIRECT IT THE RIGHT WAY—TOWARDS THE DEVIL

Notice, the next verse goes on to say, "Don’t give the devil an opportunity to work." (Ephesians 4:27) The devil wants you to blame others for your anger. But realize, there’s no one to blame but the devil! And like a soldier with a machine gun, who just discovered the enemy, turn your weapons completely on him. Use your anger to resist the devil by speaking the Word with an aggressive force, and eliminate his opportunity to work!

GET THE WHOLE PICTURE

So often, the reason we get mad or afraid is that we only see a snapshot of what’s really going on. As soon as anger comes, ask God to open your eyes to see the big picture. He did it for Elisha’s servant. He will do it for you!

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!

I am free from the power of anger. I have power over it! I have power, love, and a sound mind. I will not act rashly, but choose to listen quickly and speak slowly. I say to anger: You are fired!

I refuse to blame anyone for my angry feelings. I will use my aggressive feelings against the devil by speaking the Word of God and resisting him firmlyin my faith today, in Jesus' Name!

UNDERSTAND THE GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

2 Corinthians 5:21 says, "He who knew NO sin, was made to be sin FOR US, that we would be MADE the righteousness of God." This is the greatest EXCHANGE in human history! Jesus took our sinfulness and imparted to us His righteousness–which means we are RIGHT in God’s eyes, not wrong.

AWAKE TO RIGHTEOUSNESS

1 Corinthians 15:34 (AMP) says, "Awaken to righteousness; and you will not sin." When God thinks of you, He thinks of a victorious, conquering, strong, powerful, wise, and holy son or daughter. He sees you as a mighty champion— the head and not the tail. Righteousness means: to stand in His presence without a sense of guilt, shame, inferiority, or condemnation.

REJECT SIN-CONSCIOUSNESS

When you are always conscious of what’s wrong, you will DO wrong. When you are always conscious of BEING the righteousness of God—you will DO right. You’ll act on the outside how you see yourself on the inside.

ASK THE HOLY SPIRIT TO DO WHAT HE DOES BEST

1 Corinthians 2:12 says, "...We have received the Spirit of God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God." A key ministry of the Holy Spirit is to REVEAL what is already yours (NOT TO REVEAL TO YOU ALL THAT IS WRONG IN YOUR LIFE).

DWELL ON WHAT’S RIGHT RATHER THAN WHAT’S WRONG

Go through the Scripture regarding who you are in Christ, what is yours in Christ, and what you can do in Christ. It’s staggering. Flood your mind with this new way of thinking.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!

I am the righteousness of God, through the blood of Jesus. I stand in the presence of God without guilt, shame, inferiority, or condemnation. I awake to righteousness and believe it will lead me to a victorious life. I am a joint heir with Jesus. When God looks at me, He sees His blood. He thinks of me as a conquering, powerful, and holy son or daughter. I will not think of myself as anything less or more than what God thinks of me in Jesus' Name!

KNOW YOUR ENEMY

The real enemy is thinking that you have to get rid of the enemy. Psalm 23:5 says that He prepares a table (celebration) in the presence of your enemies. Begin to celebrate and praise God in the midst of the pressure, problem, or bad news. That’s when the enemy loses its power.

THE PRINCE OF PEACE LIVES IN YOU!

(Colossians 1:27) Peace comes from the presence of God, not the absence of problems. Meditate on the fact that God’s presence is in you and with you. Jesus said "I am with you always."

YOUR TREASURE IS GREATER THAN YOUR TROUBLE

In 2 Corinthians 4:6–8, Paul said, "We are troubled on every side, but not stressed." Why? Because he knew he had a treasure inside, the power to speak God’s Word, and the ability to change the situation.

BE CERTAIN YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE IT

(1 John 4:18) Flood your mind with thoughts of love—God’s love for you, and what He was willing to do to rescue you. If He would die for you, while you were in sin and separated from God, there’s just nothing He wouldn’t do for you! Think on that, and fear will leave.

YOU'RE NOT UNDER STRESS; YOU'RE OVER IT

You are seated with Christ in heavenly places—Ephesians 2:1-6. Live life from above—from God’s perspective. You’re above ONLY and not underneath (Deuteronomy 28:13). The battle is already won. Jesus did it all. Your fight is simply to believe that. That’s when stress leaves.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!

I am free from the power of stress. I don't have to get rid of all my problems to get rid of stress. I have a table in the presence of my enemies. They have NO power over me.

The Prince of Peace lives in me. I am certain I will make it. I am going to the other side. The battle is already won. Jesus did it all. My treasure is greater than my trouble, and I am above stress and not underneath it, in Jesus' Name!

KNOW YOUR AUTHORITY

In Luke 10:19, Jesus said: "Behold I have given you authority… over all the power of the enemy." The devil doesn’t push us around. We push him around! Whatever we bind on earth is bound in heaven—Matthew 18:18. You’re never afraid of what you have authority over.

RECEIVE PEACE AS A GIFT!

Simply accept it today! Jesus said: My peace I GIVE you, not as the world gives—John 14:27. We receive peace, not as something dependent on circumstances—it is a gift. Therefore, we don’t have to be afraid.

REMEMBER WHAT YOU HAVE—AND WHAT YOU "HAVE NOT"

2 Timothy 1:7 says, "God has NOT given you a spirit of fear; but POWER, LOVE, and a SOUND MIND."

TAKE YOUR DAILY "PRE-SCRIPTURE" AS YOUR NEW "PRESCRIPTION."

Take a dose of Psalm 91:10, which declares, "NO evil or harm shall befall you, nor shall any disaster or plague come near your tent!"

MEDITATE ON GOOD NEWS FROM JOB

Job 5:19 says, "He will deliver you from six troubles; in seven no evil shall touch you."

LOVES CONQUERS ALL

We give away our power to live in victory, health, and success—when we allow others to determine how we RESPOND. We have the power to forgive, the power to recover, and the power to overcome anything. When we blame others, we give away that power to them.

IN THE DARKEST OF TIMES, GOD PRESENTS HIS MOST STUNNING PERFORMANCES

Expect God to show up!

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!

I receive the gift of PEACE, and therefore I am not troubled. I have power, love, and a sound mind. I have authority over the enemy. No evil or disaster can harm me. God is my Deliverer. I expect God to show up in my life today, in Jesus' name.

BELIEVE IN THE MINISTRY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT TODAY

Romans 8:26 says, "We don’t always know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit intercedes for us." No matter what your situation is, the Holy Spirit knows how to bring about God’s will for your life, as you ask and thank Him.

THINK THIS THOUGHT TODAY:
PRAYER CHANGES THINGS

There’s nothing you can’t impact through prayer. Prayer gets you unstuck. It gets you moving again. Prayer is powerful. "And all things, whatsoever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive."(Matthew 21:22)

BELIEVE THAT FAITH FINDS A WAY. WHENEVER I FEEL STUCK, I REMEMBER THESE WORDS:
FAITH FINDS A WAY

In Mark 2:1–5, the friends of the paralyzed man could not find a way into the house where Jesus was. They were stuck, but they believed there was another way. They went up on the roof and lowered him down through the ceiling tiles, and the man was healed. Why? Because faith found a way! If we don’t think it, we won’t look for it.

REMEMBER, JESUS IS THE 4TH MAN IN THE FIRE

When it seemed like the three men in Daniel 3 were going to be burned in the fiery furnace, Jesus showed up! What was an impossible situation was made possible, because Jesus was with them. And He is with you now!

JESUS IS YOUR WAY

"I am the way, the truth, and the life." (John 14:6) He is the way when there just seems to be no way. He is your way out of whatever situation you are in. Expect Him to make a way.

JUST THINK NEXT STEPS

When Jesus was tempted to not go to the cross, the Bible says, "He went forward a little..." (Mark 14:35, KJV). When you feel stuck, like there’s nothing you can do, just take a step. Don’t think about all the steps. Just take the next one. In a relationship, the first step may be just saying you’re sorry. If it’s finances, maybe it’s just cutting one area of spending or giving one extra offering. Move forward a little!

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!

The Holy Spirit is interceding for me when I feel stuck. He is moving in me and through me. I think and believe there is always a way. Even when it seems like there is no way, Jesus is the Way. He is with me no matter what fire I'm facing. When I feel stuck, I will think about one step I can take that will move me towards healing, blessing, and God's will for my life, in Jesus' Name!

GOD HAS ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE

Psalm 145:16 says that He satisfies the desire of EVERY living thing. His reward for one person doesn’t come at the expense of someone else.

WHAT DO YOU DESIRE?

Freedom? Joy? Provision? A better relationship with someone? He will satisfy your desire. Ask Him to right now.

SETTLE THIS: GOD HONORS HIS WORD ABOVE ANYTHING

Cling to His Word, and you will get honored with it. Promotion, increase, and rewards will come.

GET YOUR THOUGHTS OFF THEM AND ON HIM

Fix your eyes on Jesus. He is the source of all that you could ever want or need. Every good and perfect gift comes from above (James 1:17). Look UP, not OUT.

IT'S EASIER TO SEEK HIM THAN YOU THINK

Seeking God is not about our effort. It’s about LOOKING TO Jesus as your source and discovering His way of thinking and looking at things. As we think His way (His Word), we will believe like Him. Our faith will soar! Manifestations WILL COME. That is what it means to seek Him.

SEE OTHER PEOPLE’S ABUNDANCE AS A
PREDICTION OF YOURS

The testimony of what Jesus has done for someone else is a prophecy of what He can do for you.

EXPECT FAVOR

Favor surrounds the righteous on every side! And you are the righteousness of God, simply by being in Christ.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!

God is MY Rewarder. I adopt His thinking regarding my life and situation. I fix my eyes on Him, and He finishes my faith. Favor surrounds me, promotion surrounds me, and God's rewards surround me like a shield, in Jesus’ Name!

OUR EMOTIONS ARE THE RESULT OF OUR THOUGHTS

If you think sad thoughts, you will become sad. If you think joyful and faith-filled thoughts, you will become happy. As a man thinks within, so is he.

REJECT THE BELIEF THAT YOUR EMOTIONS ARE THE RESULT OF YOUR CULTURE, ETHNICITY, OR GENDER

Your culture may be more or less expressive of emotions, but we are all spiritual beings with the power to rule over our emotions with the Word of God.

YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN SELF-CONTROL

It is in you! 2 Timothy 1:7 says, "For God did not give us a spirit of fear but of power and love and self-control." (NET Bible) Galatians 5:23 says, "The fruit of the Spirit includes SELF-CONTROL, and the Spirit is in you!"

BELIEVE YOU ARE IN CONTROL

As you control your thoughts, you will control your emotions. THEN, you will not feel the urge to control others!

YOU CAN REMEMBER WHAT HAPPINESS IS

In Lamentations 3:17-24, Jeremiah FORGOT what happiness was, because he talked himself into misery. When he began to think about the goodness of God, JOY WAS RESTORED. Emotions follow thoughts—whether good or bad.

EXPRESS YOUR EMOTIONS UPWARD, AND YOU WON'T NEED TO ALWAYS EXPRESS THEM OUTWARD

When you pour your heart and feelings out to God (no matter how bad they may be), the temptation to explode at others will be diminished.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!

I am not under the control of my emotions anymore. They are under my control. As I fill my mind with good thoughts, they will become good emotions. I can control my emotions through my thought life, and my thought life is surrendered to God's Word. I have self-control and dominion over my life. And from this day forward, my emotions serve me, rather than control me. I pour my emotions out to God, and I don't need to pour them out to others, in Jesus' Name!

FORGIVENESS IS NOT A FEELING

It is a decision to GIVE it as a free gift. Whatever grudge, bitterness, or resentment that you have toward someone will not go away without a choice to "give it" as a gift.

FORGIVE BY FAITH

2 Corinthians 5:7 says, "We live by faith; therefore we forgive by faith."Never let your faith follow your feelings. Your feelings will catch up with your faith.

DON’T BE FOOLED BY THE FEELINGS OF RESENTMENT OR ANGER WHEN THEY TRY TO COME BACK

You’ll be tempted to think, "I don’t feel anything, so nothing has changed. I guess I must not have really forgiven them." This is a lie! This is the thought you must fast from. The moment you forgive someone, as a choice, it’s done, no matter what you feel.

BELIEVE AND BE THANKFUL THAT YOU ARE FREE FROM THE PAIN AND CONSEQUENCES OF UNFORGIVENESS

Thank God that you are free and healed. As you do this EVERY TIME that you feel those feelings, you will feel less and less of the pain, until it completely vanishes away.

UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF THE WORD:
FOR—GIVE

It simply means to GIVE BEFORE. We need to "give" forgiveness BEFORE the person apologizes, BEFORE they change, and most importantly BEFORE you feel anything. Just as faith works by believing God’s promises BEFORE they show up (Mark 11:24-25), forgiveness works BEFORE you feel it. When you forgive BEFORE you feel good feelings about that person, you are living in the highest level of faith.

MEDITATE ON WHAT GOD HAS DONE FOR YOU, RATHER THAN WHAT PEOPLE HAVE DONE TO YOU

Psalm 103:2-4 says, "Bless the Lord O my soul and forget none of His benefits—He pardons all your iniquities, heals all your diseases, redeems your life from destruction, crowns you with loving-kindness and compassion." Think on these things.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!

I accept that forgiveness is not a feeling. It’s a decision. Beginning today, I expect the bitter feelings, the problems, and the unanswered prayers to change because of the choice I have made.

I forgive by faith, which means that as I act on the Word of God and declare my forgiveness out loud, I am walking in forgiveness, whether I feel something or not.

I am forgiven and I am a forgiver! I choose to forgive others (AND MYSELF), BEFORE they change, before they deserve it, and before I feel it. I focus on what God has done for me, rather than what others have done to me, and therefore, I am free. In Jesus’ Name!

REALIZE THAT WE ONLY DESERVE FORGIVENESS BECAUSE OF THE BLOOD OF JESUS

It’s not because our mistakes "never happened," or "it wasn’t that bad." Give up rationalizations and excuses, and simply receive God’s mercy and grace.

IT WAS THAT BAD, BUT GOD IS EVEN MORE GOOD!

James 2:13 says, "Mercy triumphs over judgment." His mercy toward you TRIUMPHS over your self- judgment. In Luke 22:34, Peter denied the Lord three times, and Jesus forgave him. Later, Peter preached the first sermon after Jesus rose from the dead, and 3000 people were saved in a day! Peter was able to forgive himself when he knew Jesus had accepted him. In the same way, you too, have been accepted by God, no matter what you have done—simply by believing in His finished work on the cross.

GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO HOLD ANYTHING AGAINST YOURSELF

God doesn’t hold anything against you. Forgiving yourself is simply AGREEING with God. His standard is absolute perfection, and He forgives you. Psalm 103:12 says, "As far as east is from west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us."

STOP REHEARSING WHAT YOU DID

It’s done. It’s over. Now accept the second chance (or third or fourth...) that God offers. Philippians 3:13 says, "Forgetting what lies behind, and reaching forward..." Reaching forward starts in your thought life.

BELIEVE THAT GUILT DOESN'T COME FROM GOD

He doesn’t impose guilt on you to try to get you to stop doing something. Romans 2:4 says, "It is His goodness that draws us to repentance." Since this guilt and shame doesn’t come from God, there can be only one other source—the devil. James 4:7 says, "Submit to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from you."

GIVE UP THE SELF-PUNISHMENT

Some people think subconsciously: "I’ll make myself feel bad to pay for what I’ve done." Why should we pay the price that has ALREADY been paid for what we’ve done wrong? Stop beating yourself up. By trying to "pay for what we have done", we are doubting & insulting the very blood of Jesus that HAS PAID the price in full. Accept His free gift.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!

I receive mercy today, because of the blood of Jesus. Though I didn’t deserve it, God proclaims over me, that I am "not guilty". Where I have failed, God’s mercy triumphs over judgment.

I give up my right today to hold ANYTHING against myself. I deserve to be punished, but Jesus took THAT punishment for me. I forget what lies behind and press on, moving forward in my life with God, even though I feel like I have blown it beyond repair.

I reject this guilt and self-condemnation that the devil is trying to put on me. God is the God of second chances. I will no longer try to make myself feel bad to pay for what I’ve done. The price for what I did or failed at has been paid in full by Jesus’ blood!

YOU HAVE COMEBACK DNA IN YOU

Even in what seems like the worst situation, the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you. Expect your comeback! You have resurrection DNA in you!

FALLING ISN'T FAILING

Proverbs 24:16 says, "A righteous man falls seven times, but he rises again!" You are righteous in Christ. See yourself as someone who rises up. When you’ve fallen, you have the right to get back up.

JESUS GETS HIS PRAYERS ANSWERED

And He is praying for you, that your faith would not fail. Luke 22:32 tells us that Jesus said to Peter (and to you), "I have prayed for you, that your faith would not fail." You are not going to fail. No shame! Get up.

JESUS IS TURNING TO YOU, NOT FROM YOU!

In Luke 22:61, Jesus turned TO Peter after he denied Him. He didn’t turn FROM him. You are accepted! This acceptance transformed Peter’s life after he hit rock bottom. God accepts you, just like He accepted Peter, even when you’ve failed.

EVEN WHEN YOU'RE DOING POORLY, GOD WILL NOT FAIL YOU

He’s going to make sure you make it. Your relationship with Him was His idea, not yours. He will finish what He started.

IN ONE MOMENT, GOD CAN TURN AROUND YEARS OF APPARENT FAILURE

In Esther 9:1, God’s people were about to be destroyed, but God suddenly delivered them. In only ONE DAY, the tables were turned, and God transformed certain defeat into total victory! If God could accomplish this for them, He can do it for you!

THINK IT AND SAY IT !!!

I have comeback DNA in me! It’s my new nature to always rise, even when I’ve fallen. I have the blood-bought right to get back up when I’ve failed! Jesus doesn’t turn from me when I’ve fallen; He turns to me and prays for me. I cannot fail. He will not fail me. His love will never fail toward me. I am expecting God to turn my failures and frustrations around beginning today, in Jesus’ Name!

IT'S NOT HARD TO BE SOMETHING YOU ALEADY ARE

Jesus made you a Christian, and there’s nothing that can change that. You’re a new creation! You are already more than a conqueror! You don’t have to TRY to be a human. You are one! In the same way: You ARE a Christian!

IT IS HE WHO MADE US, AND NOT WE OURSELVES

Selah—pause and think on that. HE MADE YOU A CHRISTIAN. And you can’t undo what God has done.

JESUS DID IT ALL

When He said, "It is finished,"  in John 19:30, He meant: "The debt is paid; the sentence is served; the victory is won! I did everything necessary for you to be saved and at peace." Now, just believe it.

START REALIZING "CHRISTIAN" MEANS "CHRIST-IN"

He is in you. It’s impossible for you to fail at being a Christian, when the anointing (Christ) is at work within you.

HIS YOKE IS EASY

Reverse your thinking. Think, "It’s easy to be a Christian." His yoke is easy. His burden is light. You are yoked/connected/hitched to Him!

REST IN THE FACT THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE PERFECT

God is not holding you to a perfect standard. Jesus is your perfection. Just rest in this truth!

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!

It is easy to live the Christian life because God already made me more than a conqueror. Jesus did it all! His life is in me. His love is in me. His power is in me. His Spirit is in me. Therefore, I cannot fail as a Christian! I am not alone, and never will be. I am yoked to Him, and that’s why I can enjoy my relationship WITH God, rather than strive to fulfill a duty FOR God. I am free, in Jesus’ Name!

Our God calls Himself: El Shaddai, the God of more than enough. We have more than enough of God living inside of us. Let’s stop thinking in terms of not enough and start thinking in terms of more than enough.

THINK MULTIPLICATION

God said: Be fruitful and multiply. He is a multiplier, and so are you. Believe in the God of multiplication!

THINK APPLE ORCHARD

An 🍎 seed becomes an 🍎 orchard. One little seed becomes more than enough apples for a whole community! Believe in the power of a seed.

SEED MEETS NEED

Remember, even God cannot multiply a seed that you don’t sow. Sow a seed.

BE PATIENT

Farmers understand there is seed, time, and harvest. Don’t forget that time is the connector between the seed and the harvest.

GOD IS NOT TRYING TO GET SOMETHING FROM YOU; HE'S TRYING TO GET SOMETHING TO YOU.

Trust. Let go. As you let go of what you have in your hand, you are able to receive what God is trying to put in your hand! Give, and it will be given back to you in good measure.

THINK IT AND SAY IT !!!

I always have enough, because Philippians 4:19 says, "God shall supply ALL my needs, according to His riches."  I always have enough, because My God is more than enough. I believe that seeds meet needs. I am a sower, and therefore I am a reaper. God is a multiplier, and so am I.

I am called to be fruitful and multiply. God is multiplying every good seed that I have ever sown. As I give, He gives back to me good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, in Jesus’ Name!

STOP TRYING TO STOP

Instead, just continue to fast from wrong thinking. Proverbs 23:7 says, "As a man thinks, so is he." Your thoughts will shape your decisions; your decisions will shape your actions; your actions will shape your habits.  

AWAKEN TO THE GRACE OF GOD

Romans 6:14 tells us that sin does not have dominion over us "...for we are not under the law but under grace." Embrace the grace! It is the free, unearned, and undeserved love of God!

GRACE EMPOWERS

Titus 2:11 says, "It is the grace of God that enables and instructs us to resist and deny ungodliness." Go to God’s throne of grace right now and ask for His help.

HIS YOKE IS EASY

You are yoked to Jesus. That means He will carry the weight of your struggle and walk you through it.

CHANGE HAPPENS TO YOU, NOT BY YOU

Romans 12:2 says, "Be transformed." This is something that happens TO you, as you renew your mind to God’s Word. It’s happening to you right now as you fast from wrong thinking! And as you fill your mind with God’s goodness, it LEADS you to "repentance" (which is: to change your thinking, Romans 2:4).

"THERE AIN'T NO CAN'T"

(Quote from Mickey to Rocky in the movie, Rocky II) Get rid of "can’t" from your vocabulary and your mindset. You can do all things through Christ.

STOP BEATING YOURSELF UP ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVEN’T DONE

We often punish ourselves with self-condemnation. We will never do enough for God. That’s why Jesus did it all. He paid for sin, the curse, and our failure. Our job is to believe.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!

I am not under the bondage or control of any sin, habit, or problem in my life anymore. I am under the grace of God, giving me dominion over sin and temptation.

I am yoked to Jesus. Therefore, it is His strength that I walk in. As I renew my mind to the Word of God, I am being changed and transformed, in Jesus' Name!

YOU HAVE A DESTINY

Believe it. Jeremiah 1:5 says, "Before you were formed in your mother’s womb, I knew you and destined you..."

REMEMBER THE SONG, "YOU'RE JUST TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. CANT TAKE MY EYES OFF OF YOU"

This is what God is saying about you! Genesis 16:13 says, "You are the God who sees me!"

YOU CANNOT GO UNNOTICED

Luke 8:47 says, "Then, the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at His feet." You are chosen by God.

JESUS IS COMING OVER!

Remember Zacchaeus climbing up a tree to see Jesus? In Luke 19:5, "Jesus looked up and said to him, ‘Zacchaeus, come down. I must stay at your house today.’" He wants to come to YOUR house today. YOU ARE THAT IMPORTANT TO HIM.

YOU ARE THE 🍎 OF THE FATHER'S EYE

Whoever touches you is touching the apple of God’s eye. You are God’s greatest desire. You bring Him great joy!

THINK IT AND SAY IT !!!

I have a destiny. I am chosen by God. I cannot go unnoticed by Jesus. He sees me, and recognizes me, and calls me His own. He is coming over to my house because He loves me and considers me significant. I reject all feelings of insignificance and unimportance. I am the apple of His eye, in Jesus’ Name!

YOUR GOD IS TOO SMALL! EVERYTHING CHANGES WHEN WE LET GO OF A SMALL GOD. HOW BIG IS YOUR GOD?

Scientists estimate there are over 100 billion galaxies and 100 billion stars in each of them! And God created them & calls them all by name. He’s BIG.

HOW BIG IS HE?

He’s big enough to take away the sin of the world; to allow us to make mistakes without punishment; to put great dreams in human hearts; & big enough to not have to threaten us to accept Him. He’s a BIG, BIG GOD!

THINK BIG!

Renew your mind to God’s language. For example: "Ask for the nations" (Psalm 2); "Speak to the mountain" (Mark 11); "Your descendants shall be as numerous as the stars" (Genesis 15); "You shall possess the land" (Numbers 13), and so on. God uses big language and gives us big dreams!

ASK BIG! GET YOUR JABEZ ON!

He prayed: "Lord, bless me indeed. Enlarge my territory..." Ask Him that today. "...and God granted his request." Ephesians 3:20 says, "God is able to do exceeding abundantly beyond all that we can ask or think." Start asking and thinking the way God says to.

NEVER STOP DREAMING AND ENVISIONING A BETTER LIFE

In Acts 2:17 God says, "In the last days I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams."  You see? He says, "Old men will dream dreams" because even as we get older, we are not supposed to stop dreaming! God wants you to keep dreaming no matter what!

TAKE YOUR SEAT!

What do I mean? God has seated us with Jesus Christ in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6). We have been given a divine authority and divine point of view. That’s how we need to look at life— from our position, seated above all limitations!

IMPRINT THIS ON YOUR HEART AND MIND:
ROYALTY DESTROYS INFERIORITY!

Acquaint yourself with your new bloodline. You are royalty in Christ. This makes you reign over life (Romans 5:17). When you know that you are made righteous and made royal by His blood, it makes you as confident and bold as a lion! Believe it!

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!

I give up small thinking. I let go of a small god. I agree with God’s way of looking at things and God’s language. I decide to think bigger and bigger every day, and to ask for the things God said I could ask for. I accept the visions and dreams that the Holy Spirit wants to give me; and I let go of all failure, disappointment, and fear-based thoughts, in Jesus’ Name!

YOU ARE A WORK OF ART—A WORK IN PROGRESS

God is the potter and we are the clay (Jeremiah 18:1-6). God is working on you to make you what He wants you to be. Trust the Artist to make a masterpiece. Be flexible and adaptable. See yourself as a GOOD work in progress.

WITHHOLD JUDGMENT OF YOURSELF (OR OTHERS)

Philippians 1:6 says, "He who began a GOOD work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ." Don’t prejudge what your capacity is or what your potential is. He’s only just begun!

GOD DOESN'T THROW YOU OUT

HE NEVER GIVES UP ON YOU. Jeremiah 18:4 says, "The clay was marred, so He made it again." He didn’t discard it. He made it again. Thank God! He’s re-making you!

YOU ARE CHANGING AS YOU READ THIS!

Whatever flaws you have, they are not the final sentence. You are NOW being transformed to the very image of Jesus!

EMBRACE THE GRACE

Paul said in 1 Corinthians 15:10, "I AM what I AM by the grace of God." It’s God’s grace IN YOU that is making you what you are. You are not a composite of your parents’ mistakes, your mistakes, or others’ opinions of you. You’re awesome! You are a work of God’s grace.

TAKE ANOTHER LOOK!

The Bible is a mirror that reflects what God and you really look like! We are everything God says we are. As Jesus is, so are we in this world! (1 John 4:17) THAT’S the way you are!

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!

I am unlimited in my ability to grow and change. God is the potter and I am the clay. I am what God says I am. He began a good work in me, and He will finish it. He is making me into something GOOD. I am His workmanship—His work of art. He’s good at this and has been doing it for a long time! I am not in bondage to my weaknesses and former limitations. They do not define me. Every day and every moment that passes is making me more and more like Jesus!

WE GET WHAT JESUS DESERVES

Romans 8:17 tells us that we are joint heirs with Jesus Christ. His inheritance is ours. 1 John 4:17 says, "As He is, so are we in this world." This is the great exchange! We deserved the curse, but instead we get His blessing.

BE COVENANT-MINDED

You have a covenant with God. A covenant is a contract—in this case, a contract that is guaranteed by the shed blood of Jesus Christ.

BE GRACE-MINDED

Grace is when God gives us what we don’t deserve. Hebrews 4:15 says, "Therefore, let us draw near with confidence [boldly] to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need."

HAVE CONFIDENCE IN GOD, NOT YOURSELF

(1 John 3:20–21). Confidence and faith enables God to answer prayers in our lives.

REJECT CONDEMNATION

It is our heart that condemns us for our mistakes and shortcomings. When we feel condemned, we lose confidence, and then we believe we can’t receive anything from God.

ACCEPT YOUR FREEDOM IN CHRIST

There is now NO condemnation for those who are in Christ! (Romans 8:1)

STOP BEATING YOURSELF UP ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVEN’T DONE

We often punish ourselves with self-condemnation. We will never do enough for God. That’s why Jesus did it all. He paid for sin, sickness, the curse, and our failure. Our work, our battle, is to simply believe.

THINK IT AND SAY IT !!!!!

I let go of the mindset that tells me I’m not holy enough, or I haven’t done enough to receive answered prayers. I receive His promises by faith. I am a joint heir with Jesus Christ. I expect to get what He deserves, not what I deserve. The throne of His grace is always open! His river of lavish love- gifts are always flowing towards me! I receive His grace, freely and lavishly, in Jesus’ Name!

STOP CONDEMNING YOURSELF

Condemnation is a mindset that robs you of joy and peace. Romans 14:22 says, "Happy is the man who does not condemn himself..." Don’t condemn yourself because God doesn’t condemn you.

GOD'S STILL WORKING ON YOU!

Philippians 1:6 tells us to lighten up on ourselves. He began a good work in you; He’ll finish it! Trust God that you’re making progress. You’re not standing still.

TAP INTO THE POWER OF BELIEVING

1 Peter 1:8 says: "...though you do not see Him now, you BELIEVE in Him, and are filled with inexpressible and glorious joy." Believe the promise of God regardless of what you feel, and depression will begin to leave.

REJECT SHAME

Jesus took your shame on the cross. No matter what you feel or what you’ve done. We are all dealing with something. If you feel darkness, remember: God is with you, even in the valley.

SURROUND YOURSELF WITH POSITIVE PEOPLE

Positive thinking and speaking is contagious, just as negative thinking is. Surround yourself only with those who create an atmosphere of victory with their attitude and words.

REMEMBER, YOU ARE NOT HELPLESS

Thoughts of helplessness bring depression. The Holy Spirit is our Helper. He has not left you alone and He will never leave you alone.

DEPRESSION COMES FROM A SENSE OF POWERLESSNESS

You have the power to pray and receive the answer—this sense of power brings joy.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!

I will never be depressed another day in my life. I decide to stop condemning myself and beating myself up for my shortcomings. I believe God is working in me every day.

I am not a negative thinker. I am positive. God is for me, with me, and in me, therefore depression cannot stay. I am not helpless because I have the Holy Spirit living in me. I command every ounce of depression to loose me and let me go. I command it to be removed and cast into the sea, in Jesus’ Name!

BEING OFFENDED TRAPS YOU

Skandalon (offense) is the trigger of a well-baited trap. When an animal touches the trigger of a snare, it snaps down on him and he is trapped. When you are offended, you are the one caught in the trap. By thinking and knowing this, it will empower you to stay out of the traps.

BEING OFFENDED COMES FROM SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS

We think, "How could they do that to me? I would never have done that!" But we have all sinned. Embrace humility with the sure knowledge that you have failed, too. And offense loses its grip on you.

YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY ATTENTION!

1 Corinthians 13:5 (Amplified Bible) says, "Love (God’s love in us) is not touchy or fretful or resentful." Why? "Because it pays no attentionto a suffered wrong." We get offended when we pay attention to the wrong we have suffered. Stop paying attention. It’s too expensive.

TAKE BACK CONTROL

We let others control us when we pay attention to what they did to us. What God did FOR you is greater than what others have done TO you. Focus on what God has done for you.

EXPRESS UP, NOT OUT

Fully express your anger and hurt out loud to God. Tell Him how much it hurt. Forgive the offender (out loud to God), whether you feel anything or not; and ask Him to heal you.

NOTHING CAN OFFEND YOU

How is that possible? Psalm 119:165 says, "Those who love the Word have great peace, and nothing offends them." One of the meanings of the Greek word for "love" is "attachment". Attach yourself to what God says, and you’ll detach from the power of what others have done or said to you. That’s what it means to love God’s Word.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!!

I am free from being offended. I am free from the emotions of offense, bitterness, and the right to feel mad. I will not be trapped by those feelings. I love God’s Word. I attach myself to what He said and did. I refuse to pay attention to the wrong done to me. I forgive and release those that have hurt me. I express my feelings to God, and I am healed, in Jesus’ Name!

NO ONE CAN KEEP YOU IN YOUR CURRENT SITUATION, EXCEPT YOU

We must begin TODAY to accept total responsibility to become victors, not victims. You are MORE than a conqueror—more than a victor.

PEOPLE MAY HAVE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH HOW YOU GOT IN A SITUATION

But only YOU can decide whether you stay in the situation.

THE VICTIM MENTALITY ENDS WHEN WE TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR ATTITUDE AND DIRECTION IN LIFE

Deuteronomy 30:15,19 says, "See, I have set before you this day, life and prosperity and death and adversity . . . so choose life, that both you and your descendants might LIVE (the victorious, abundant, God kind of life)."

ASK THE HOLY SPIRIT TO HELP YOU. FULL RESPONSIBILITY DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE'RE IN IT ALONE

God is on our side, and He will help us. It’s natural to look for help—but let’s get it from God. John 16:13 says, "The Holy Spirit is our Helper!" When you have His help, you don’t need to blame anyone for anything! We blame when we feel helpless—but we’re NOT!

UNDERSTAND THE ROOT WORD OF RESPONSIBILITY IS RESPONSE

We may not be able to control everything that others do to us, but we can control our RESPONSE. In our response, lies our freedom and our growth!

DON'T GIVE AWAY YOUR POWER

We give away our power to live in victory, health, and success—when we allow others to determine how we RESPOND. We have the power to forgive, the power to recover, and the power to overcome anything. When we blame others, we give away that power to them.

TAKE CHARGE OVER WHAT GOD HAS GIVEN YOU

The master said to the servant who hid his talent, "Why didn't you at least invest my money so I could have received interest?" (Matthew 25:24–27) He blamed the master and excused himself. As a result, he fell to the temptation of resentment and fear. He lost everything because he had a victim mentality.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!

No one can keep me down! I am not a victim. I am a victor. I take full responsibility for my responses in life—my attitudes and my decisions. Holy Spirit, I am asking for your help. You live in me, and you are my Helper! I refuse to give away my power by blaming others. I take responsibility for my thoughts, my actions, and my REACTIONS. I abandon the idea that my situation is the fault of anyone else. I am an overcomer. I am more than a conqueror, in Jesus’ Name!

THINK ABOUT THE RESURRECTION EVERY DAY

This reveals the miraculous power of God to do anything! We tend to save these thoughts for Easter, but we need to think about the resurrection all the time. It awakens hope and faith in the possibilities of God.

STOP THINKING OR SAYING, "I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT"

Cynicism and skepticism have filled our culture. We need to get out of the habit of questioning and doubting the possibility of things. When you think there is no way, remember that JESUS IS THE WAY!

DEAL WITH THE REAL PROBLEM

It’s not whether God will help. It’s whether we believe. The man with the demon-possessed son came to Jesus and said, "If you can do anything, help us..." Jesus responded and said, "If you can believe..."See? It’s not whether God can do it. It’s whether we can believe it. And remember that faith comes from hearing God’s Word.

YOU ARE BIGGER THAN A MOUNTAIN

Believe that your words move mountains. Matthew 17:20 says, "You shall say to this mountain, ‘Remove from here to there,’ and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible to you." That’s big! You’re big!

MEDITATE ON PEOPLE WHO HAD AN IMPOSSIBLE TURNAROUND

Abraham was 99 years old when he had a son. Sarah was 90! Moses parted the Red Sea. The list goes on and on. Find those people in the Bible and fill your mind with their testimonies. Hebrews 12:1 says, "We have a great cloud of witnesses surrounding us..." If it could happen for them, it can happen for you, and it will.

GOD CAN'T LIE

There is only ONE THING in this world that is impossible: it’s impossible for God to lie. Don’t throw away your confidence in God’s promises. He will fulfill them.

THINK IT AND SAY IT !!!!

All things are possible for me because I believe God’s Word. All of His promises are possible because all His promises are "Yes"; and He can’t lie. Jesus is the WAY when it seems like there is no way. Faith comes as I hear God’s Word; and faith moves the impossible mountain as I speak God’s Word today, in Jesus’ Name!

NEVER BE SATISFIED WITH JUST RECOGNIZING A PROBLEM

There are enough critics and complainers in the world. The world needs solution-minded people, not just those who can report a problem.

WE ARE COMPENSATED IN LIFE FOR THE PROBLEMS WE SOLVE, NOT THE PROBLEMS WE MERELY RECOGNIZE

In Genesis 41, Joseph not only recognized the famine coming, but he offered a solution for the famine. As a result, he became the most powerful man in the world. Even Pharaoh bowed his heart to Joseph and recognized his power.

LOVE MATH!

What do I mean? Mathematics is a great discipline because it proves there is a solution to every problem. Whether you liked math in school, we need to get this: there is a solution to everything. Look for it.

YOU HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST

With His mind, you will find His solutions. With every problem man created, God had a solution. And you have His mind!

LEAN ON THE HOLY SPIRIT

As we are led by the Holy Spirit and pray in the Holy Spirit, we bring His solutions into our situation. Romans 8:26–27 says, "the Spirit helps our weaknesses. For we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us . . . according to the will [solutions] of God."

STOP TALKING ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND START TALKING TO IT

Jesus said, "If you shall say to this mountain, be removed and cast into the sea, and do not doubt . . . it shall obey you." Use your mouth to move the problem.

THINK IT AND SAY IT !!!

I believe that God will give me the interpretations to life’s problems and that He will bless me with wisdom and answers. I believe there is a solution to every problem because I have the mind of Christ. I welcome the Holy Spirit to pray through me and bring God’s will and solutions to my life and to the lives of those around me, in Jesus’ Name!

TREAT ANXIETY AS A SIGNAL RATHER THAN A CONDITION

It is a signal to pray, and prayer will change the thing you are facing.

MORE PRAYING ABOUT IT = LESS WORRYING ABOUT IT

James 5:16 says, "The prayer of the righteous avails much." Stop trying to SUBTRACT the anxiety. Instead, just ADD prayer the moment you feel it, and anxiety will leave!

WHEN PANIC ATTACKS, ATTACK BACK!

How do you attack anxiety and panic? By speaking God's Word out of your mouth.

IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT!

Embrace this truth. Don't blame yourself for feeling anxious. It's the thief that comes to steal, kill, and destroy. Stop beating yourself up when you feel anxiety. Instead, beat up on the enemy by speaking God's Word.

REMEMBER YOUR VALUE

Because you are so valuable in God's eyes, He will care for you. Yes, He values you, because He paid for you with the blood of Jesus! Worry and anxiety lose their power when you remember your value.

BREATHE PRAISE TO GOD

"Let everything that has breath, praise the Lord" (Psalm 150:6). Experts agree that breathing literally helps manage anxiety. But when you BREATHE praise to God, you don't just manage anxiety, you MASTER it.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!

Anxiety has lost its power over me. When I feel anxious, it is a signal to pray and praise God. When I add prayer, anxiety is subtracted. Because I am so valuable to God, I know that He will take care of me. I attack panic by speaking the Word of God. The Prince of Peace lives inside of me, therefore, I have peace guarding my heart and mind. I breathe praise to God today, in Jesus’ Name!

YOU DON'T HAVE TO FIND HAPPINESS

It will find you! Jesus tells us in Matthew 6:33 that as we seek His kingdom "...all these things will be added to you." Expect happiness to be added to you as you put His kingdom first. How do you do that? Start each day by planting the seed of God’s Word in your life.

HAPPY IS THE MAN WHO DOES NOT CONDEMN HIMSELF

Refuse to tolerate condemnation another second of your life. Romans 8:1 says, "there is no condemnation". Believe that Jesus freed you from condemnation, and happiness will come!

TREAT UNHAPPINESS AS A SIGNAL TO TRUST GOD

Jeremiah 17:7 says, "Happy is the man that trusts in the Lord."Declare that you trust Him today!

THE SUPREME HAPPINESS IN LIFE IS THE ASSURANCETHAT YOU ARE LOVED

You can be sure God loves you—no matter what. Nothing can separate you from His love. Think on that.

GOD WILL HELP YOU BE HAPPY TODAY

Psalm 146:5 says, "Happy is he whose help and hope are in the Lord."Ask for His help today. Ask Him for hope today. Believe you have received it, and joy will come.

IN HIS PRESENCE IS FULLNESS OF JOY

Be mindful that you are in His presence now, by the blood of Jesus. And the Holy Spirit lives in you! It will change your view of life.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!!

I have the fullness of joy and happiness in life because I am in God’s presence, and the Holy Spirit lives in me. I walk in the supreme happiness of life, knowing that I am loved by God. I refuse to condemn myself because there is no condemnation in Christ Jesus. God will always help me, and my hope is in Him. Therefore, I am happy, in Jesus’ Name!

GOD'S NOT MAD AT YOU, HE'S MAD ABOUT YOU

Dispel the myth of an angry God. He poured out His wrath on Jesus while on the cross, so He could pour out His love on you forever. "God is love." (1 John 4:8)

OUR FEELINGS FOLLOW OUR THOUGHTS

Flood your mind with the thought, "My Heavenly Father tenderly loves me!" (John 16:27 AMP) You and God are inseparable. Nothing can separate you from Him or His love. Believe this with every fiber in your being!

RECOGNIZE YOUR VALUE

The value of a piece of art is not determined by the cost to make it, but rather by how much someone would pay to have it. God paid for us with the blood of Jesus. That makes us as valuable to God, as Jesus Himself! You are priceless!

YOU DON'T HAVE TO EARN SOMETHING GOD HAS ALREADY GIVEN YOU

He loves you. That can’t be earned. It is a gift from God (John 3:16). Accept it. Your value is not determined by what you’ve done or not done. Just be loved.

REJECT THE VOICES OF REJECTION

Look in the mirror and tell yourself that you are chosen by God, accepted, and outrageously loved by your Heavenly Father!

KNOW YOUR CALLING

By this, I’m not referring to your calling to serve in ministry or your profession. I’m talking about what God calls you. He calls you His beloved continually in the Bible. Do a word search. You are His beloved. So, be loved!

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!!!

God is not mad at me, He’s mad about me! I am outrageously loved by Him! His love was shown on the cross and His love and favor are for a lifetime! My Heavenly Father tenderly loves me. Therefore, I will feel His love today! He continually calls me His beloved. Nothing can separate me from His love. I am valuable and priceless to Him. I am as valuable to God as Jesus is. I receive His love by faith, in Jesus’ Name!

MEDITATE ON THE FACT THAT GOD'S WORD IS TRUE

In John 17:17, Jesus said, "Thy Word is truth." What God says is fact—whether you feel it, see it, or have ever experienced it.

CONSIDER GOD'S TRACK RECORD

1 Kings 8:56 says, "...Every word has come true of all His good promise..." (NLV). Fear leaves when you can rely on something that can’t fail. God has never failed to fulfill His promises. There are over 1000 predictions or prophecies in the Bible—promises that God made before they happened. The chances of merely 17 of these coming to pass are 1 out of 450 billion x 1 billion x 1 trillion! Yet, not one of these promises has failed.

ACCEPT THE TRUTH THAT WHAT WE FEAR COMES UPON US

In Job 3:25, Job feared that his children would curse God, and that’s what happened. When you realize fear has the power to produce negative results, you stop dabbling in it. When a child learns what fire can do, he no longer plays with matches!

PERFECT LOVE CASTS OUT FEAR

(1 John 4:18) Flood your mind with thoughts of love—God’s love for you, and what He was willing to do to rescue you. If He would die for you, while you were in sin and separated from God, there’s just nothing He wouldn’t do for you! Think on that, and fear will leave.

THERE IS A PROMISE FROM GOD'S WORD FOR EVERY NEED YOU WILL EVER EXPERIENCE

In fact, there are over 7000 promises in the Bible. That’s 7000 solutions to life’s problems! For example, there is a promise of protection in Psalm 91:1–12, which delivers you from the fear of evil, sickness, or tragedy.

PAUSE AND DWELL ON THE FACT THAT GOD IS WITH YOU

God’s presence is the secret to a fear-free life. Ultimately, all fear is a sense of God’s absence or our separation from God. By contrast, a sense of God’s presence delivers us from fear. Hebrews 10:19 says, "We are in His presence by the blood of Jesus." You are in His presence now—therefore, fear not

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!

God’s Word is true, whether I feel it or not. He has kept all of His promises and has never failed. I am in God’s presence by the blood of Jesus; therefore, because He is with me, I will fear no evil! God loves me perfectly, which casts out all my fear. I have power, love, and a sound mind, in Jesus’ Name!

TAKE INVENTORY!

God has NOT given you a spirit of fear; but POWER, LOVE, and a SOUND MIND. (2 Timothy 1:7)

BELIEVE THAT POWER IS IN YOU

Ephesians 3:20 says, "God is able to do exceeding abundantly above all we can ask or think according to the power that is at work within you." There is power in you that enables God to do beyond what you can ask or think!

THINK AND ASK BIG!

Give God something to work with, because He can do beyond. We have to at least give Him a base to begin with.

RECOGNIZE THE HOLY SPIRIT IN YOU

Acts 1:8 says, "You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you..." This power (dunamis = dynamite) is already in you. Romans 8:11 says, "The very same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives IN YOU."

TAKE THE LIMITS OFF

Don’t limit God. Psalm 78:41 says that the children of Israel limited the Lord because they did not remember His power (verse 42). We free God’s hand to bless when we remember His previous blessings.

EXPECT!

Never underestimate the power of expectation. Expect God’s power to strengthen you today. Expect to be led by His Spirit.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!!!

I have POWER in my life right now. Through the Holy Spirit in me, I have the power to overcome temptation, the power to change my life for the better, the power to be healed, the power to forgive, and the power to speak God’s Word and see His promises show up in my life. I will think big and ask big, and therefore the POWER OF GOD’S SPIRIT WITHIN ME will bring it to pass in my life, in Jesus’ Name!

Today we’re fasting from the thought that says, "I Can't Change."

We’ve all felt at times that we can’t change a certain habit or a weakness in our lives. We often feel “confined” by whatever has previously “defined” us. But, as we change our mindsets regarding WHO we are and what God has given us, ANYTHING can change. Today a new hope will be born in you!

AWAKEN TO GOD'S GRACE

His grace empowers us to change, to break a habit, or to be free from our past. The river of grace is always flowing. Just step into it and receive!

BELIEVE THAT THE POWER TO CHANGE IS A GIFT

2 Timothy 2:25 says God grants “repentance” or “the power to change” AS A GIFT.

ALL CHANGE BEGINS BY BELIEVING YOU ARE LOVED BY GOD

Romans 2:4b says, “Don’t you realize that it is God’s loving kindness that is trying to lead you to change the way you think and act?” (GWT)

HIS LOVE AND KINDNESS CHANGES THE WAY WE THINK; THEN THEY CHANGE THE WAY WE ACT

All lasting change begins by surrendering your thought life to the Word of God.

BELIEVE IN THE PROCESS THAT LEADS TO PROGRESS

Don’t worry if it doesn’t happen right away. Jesus touched the blind man once, in Mark 8, and then touched him a second time, before he was completely healed. I believe these next 40 days are going to be your SECOND touch from Jesus.

REDEFINE YOURSELF ONLY AS WHAT GOD SAYS ABOUT YOU

Disconnect from the past definition of your habits, traits, and limitations. You are being changed into His image.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!

God has given me the gift to change. My habits, emotions, and life will change by changing the way I think. I submit to the process of renewing my mind, and I expect divine progress. I refuse to accept past definitions and limitations of myself. As I embrace God’s view of me, through His Word, I am being changed into His image, in Jesus’ Name!

Making these elements our top priorities will see us through the worst of troubles.

Even if you’re in a wilderness and it appears that there is no way out — God will create a new path of deliverance for your escape. God will bring you out of your circumstance with a mighty hand — even if He has to create a new way. There’s no place too dark where His Light cannot shine. There’s no valley too deep that His Love and Power cannot bring you out. Let God do the new thing in your life. It’s time to move forward. Let the past go. Don’t carry the bondage of the past into the future that God has for you. Reach for the new thing. God has so much in store for you. Leave the past behind and leap forward into God’s future.

When you decide to turn back to your former lusts, you decide to idolize the past and exalt the former things over God’s Word. When you worship your lusts over God’s command, your Worship to God becomes stunted and muffled. What other idols are you exalting over God? Do you find it hard to Worship God freely? Maybe, you’ve exalted the pain(s) of the past and it’s become hard for you to lift up your hands and Worship God. Maybe, you’ve held on to past offenses and your heart has become stiff and it’s hard to focus on Worshipping God. Maybe, you’ve grown bitter in some areas and parts of your heart have turned into pillars of salt. Maybe, there are parts of your heart where you refuse to love again, heal again or open up again. God has called us to love. Focus forward on Him. Worship Him and allow God to heal your heart completely. “I am the Lord: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them. Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.” Isaiah‬ ‭42:8-10‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Saul failed the test. He held on to what he “thought” was valuable. What do you value most — God’s Instruction or the opinions of people? It’s your choice to choose to follow God’s Word for your life or you can fall into destiny destruction by listening to the opinions of people. Follow God with your whole heart. Overthrow the things that He’s overthrown in your life. Don’t carry extra weight. Don’t carry baggage into the next season. God wants you to let go of the past and release your faith for the future. His future for you is bright. You must take your next step forward in faith, knowing that God has your steps ordered when you follow His Instruction. God has not given you an assignment that you cannot handle. Ask God to connect you to the right people, those after His Heart, those who are for you and who are sent and set by God to handle your season with you. God wants His best for you, don’t look back. Don’t pick up what God has told you not to touch.

Prayer:

Father God, in the Name of Jesus, I thank You for Your Wisdom, Your Guidance and Your Instruction. I thank You, Father, that You’ll lead me through every season of my life. Father, I know that You’ll never leave me, nor forsake me. Father, I know that You are with me always. Father, I thank You that You’ll never abandon me and that You hear me when I call. Father, I know that You are near me and You’ll never fail me. My footsteps are ordered by Your Word and my heart follows Your every command. Lord, I repent of my sin and turn to You. Every prideful area, every slothful area, every slacking area in my life I repent and turn to You. Father, forgive me for any time that I did not listen to Your command. Lord I repent and turn every area of my heart to You, in Jesus Name, I am Your son and I turn to You forever. In Jesus Name. Amen.

The definition of Sodom and Gomorrah means, “Burning” and “Submersion“. Interestingly enough, in Genesis 13, a few chapters before God burned up and submerged Sodom and Gomorrah with fire and brimstone, Lot chose to separate from Abram and he settled in Sodom. Lot saw that the land was “good” to the eye. Remember, what looks good on the outside may not be necessarily good on the inside — looks can be deceiving. Discern your next move. Pray and ask God to lead your next steps. What drew Lot to Sodom and Gomorrah? What was in Lot’s heart that pulled him to that region? The land “looked good” on the outside but at its core, the region was filled with wickedness. The lush of lust, lured Lot away.

Even after Lot saw that Sodom and Gomorrah were filled with wickedness and perversion, he still decided to settle in the region and he took up residence, in a perverted place, with his family. An opportunity may look good on the outside, but always ask God as to the direction you should take. Your steps and decisions that you make today are directly linked to the success or downfall of future generations. Every seemingly “good” opportunity is not a God led assignment. Seek God for instructions and allow Him to lead your next steps. Follow His lead and you’ll never steer your house in the wrong direction.

Paul tells us that when we take captive our thoughts, we can wield our power for good and for God, slaying strongholds left and right. What incredible power is available to us every moment of every day!

In Romans 8:5, Paul said that “those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh” and that “those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit” (ESV).

I have read and reread this passage in the past few months, mulling over how life would be if I could truly have a mind that dwells on the Spirit. A mind that is full of life and peace. A mind that consistently thinks about God—who He is and what He wants for me. I so desperately want the “perfect peace” God promises when my mind is fixed on Him.

As I’ve been practicing taking every thought captive, shifting my thoughts has become more disciplined. This is a daily battle! I may not be doing it perfectly, but I have seen significant improvement.

Based on Paul’s writings long ago to the church in Rome, you and I can learn to mind our minds to the point that controlling our thoughts becomes reflexive—an automatic, intuitive response.

I want to be so well versed in the patterns of thinking in line with the Spirit that my default is not to rely on the flesh but on the Spirit in everything. This is the goal of our deliberate interruptions: we abruptly stop the crazy spirals of our minds. As we practice the art of interruption, we’re shifting to a whole new mindset, and with each shift we will find ourselves growing more and more into the mind of Christ.

Father, I set my mind on the things of the Spirit. I set my mind on your peace. I pray to grow more and more into the mind of Christ! Amen.

Lies such as I’m helpless, I’m worthless, I’m unlovable, shape our thinking, our emotions, and the way we respond to the world around us. They trap us in their cycle of distraction and distortion and pain, preventing us from recognizing the truth we should believe. Most detrimentally, they change how we view God. Every lie we buy into about ourselves is rooted in what we believe about God.

Let’s say I tend to feel worthless and invisible. And let’s say I read Ephesians 1 and learn that God because He deeply loves me, chooses me and adopts me. Even if I don’t overtly deny the validity of that premise, I still doubt it is true for me. I nod at the truth, but I never fully absorb it and let it shape my identity.

Then let’s say I am married to a spouse who is typically distracted with work. I don’t feel seen in our marriage, which confirms my deep-seated fear that I am indeed worthless and invisible. So even in the most inconsequential of arguments with my husband, I feel anxious and start to spin every time he’s short with me.

I can’t see all that he has on his shoulders, I can’t empathize with his stresses, and my needs exceed his ability to ever meet them.

Before long we are fighting constantly, and we don’t even know why. My husband now has become the enemy in my mind and can’t ever seem to say what I need to hear or be whom I need him to be.

And the spiral of my thoughts has now invaded my relationships and robbed me of joy and peace.

Until I throw off the lie that God’s love isn’t for me, my emotions, decisions, behaviors, and relationships will remain twisted up in the mistaken belief that I’m worthless.

When we begin to think about our thoughts, perhaps for the first time, we can stop the downward spiral. We can reset and redirect them. That’s our hope. Not that we would wrestle each and every fear, but that we would allow God to take up so much space in our thinking that our fears will shrink in comparison.

Lord, I want You and Your truths to reign in my mind! Amen.

It’s incredible, if you think about it: How can something we can’t see control so much of who we are, determine what we feel and what we do and what we say or don’t, dictate how we move or sleep, and inform what we want, what we hate, and what we love?

Capturing all our thoughts may seem an impossible task, especially when we consider our potential number of thoughts per minute. Researchers tell us that we have over 30,000 thoughts a day. That means we might think about thirty-one thoughts per waking minute. But what if one thought held the power to interrupt our spirals and bring peace to our mental chaos?

The apostle Paul’s own life was a picture of interruption. After the scales fell from his eyes, his mind centered on an entirely new reality. There was no other hope, no other narrative, no other track playing in the background. He stopped the things that had distracted him and let himself focus on one simple thing: “To me to live is Christ,” Paul wrote in Philippians 1:21, “and to die is gain” (ESV). It’s all—always—about Christ.

Paul experienced a massive shift, and now he was a totally different man. No longer was he a slave to his circumstances or his emotions. Paul now chose to live aware of the power of Christ in him, through him, and for him. Paul now had the power of the Spirit—the same power that raised Jesus from the dead, and he chose to live aware of and under that power.

God built a way for us to escape the downward spiral of our toxic thoughts. But we rarely take it. We have bought the lie that we are victims of our thoughts rather than warriors equipped to fight on the front lines of the greatest battle of our generation: the battle for our minds.

God, You equip me for this battle against the lies I believe about who I am and who You are. Help me never to feel a victim to my thoughts, because You are already victorious! Amen.

With this in mind—and in hopes of discovering how we can break free from our spiraling thought patterns—I started studying the brain. I began to see a pattern at work in many of us. Our emotions were leading us to thoughts, and those thoughts were dictating our decisions, and our decisions were determining behaviors, and then the behaviors were shaping our relationships, all of which would take us back to either healthy or unhealthy thoughts.

Round and round and round we go, spinning down, seemingly out of control, our lives becoming defined by this endless cycle.

Depressing.

Unless. Unless there is a way to interrupt it.

What if, instead of spending our energy trying to fix the symptoms, we went to the root of the problem? The reality is that our emotions are a byproduct of the way we think. What’s good about this news is that we can change our thinking.

The apostle Paul understood the war that takes place in our thoughts, how our circumstances and imaginations can become weapons that undermine our faith and hope. The Bible records his bold declaration that we are to “take every thought captive to obey Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:5, ESV).

Take every thought captive? Is this even possible? Because honestly, my thoughts run wild a lot of the time. But my deep dive into the inner workings of the brain confirmed what the Bible says: we can take every thought captive. Not only can our thoughts be changed, but we can be the ones to change them.

PRAYER:God, help me break the cycle of my out-of-control thoughts. I want Your truths to invade every decision, every emotion, every thought I have. Amen.

SCRIPTURES: 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, James 4:7

The word worry has a few definitions in the dictionary. The one we’ll refer to in this Plan is to torment oneself with cares and anxieties. Every time we worry, we’re tormenting ourselves. No one else is making us do it or doing it to us—we’re doing it to ourselves.

When we worry, we’re allowing our minds to dwell on difficult circumstances, overwhelming fears, and other stresses that are weighing us down. We’re consumed over actual things we’re facing or potential situations that may never occur. Worry causes extreme distress to all areas of our bodies. It prevents us from sleeping, impacts our relationships, affects our appetites, and causes us to perform poorly at work.

Imagine that worry is a fire. The more we allow worry to occupy our thoughts, the more fuel we are putting on the “worry” fire. The more we do this, the bigger the worry fire we’ll have to put out later. Most of our worry is directed toward things that might happen. The truth is that if you’re worrying about it, it’s dictating your life. It does nothing but make the problem bigger.

What if we didn’t worry at all? How much extra time in the day would we have to devote to things that are positive and actually make a difference? The return on our investment would be unbelievable! We have a certain amount of mental and emotional energy each day, and we mustn't give worry any of it.

Reflect

• Would you consider yourself to be a person who worries? On an average day, how often do you dwell on things that you have no control over?
• Ask God to reveal His truth to you over the next few days in regard to worry.

But there is one thing that we must get down today if we’re truly going to start breaking free…

Just because the thought exists, doesn’t make it true.

(Go ahead, speak this to yourself, “Just because this thought exists, doesn’t make it true.”)

This is your reminder that you don't have to believe everything you think today.

You have this incredible God-given skill called metacognition.

Metacognition means you have the ability to think about your thoughts.

This means that you can pause, momentarily separate yourself from your thoughts and begin to discern what’s healthy and what is not; and discard the following.

Work through anxiety in these 4 steps.

1. Identify the “trigger” (What’s causing you to react).

Start pinpointing the event or individual that keeps triggering your emotions.

Ask yourself: Why does this have so much power over me? Is my anxiety about the

situation appropriate or created by my own fears and insecurities?

2. Write down the thoughts that follow.

Write down everything that you’re thinking. Analyze those thoughts and be your own judge.

Ask yourself: Is my thought process rational? Is it being led by the Spirit or led by fear?

3. Note the Reaction

What is your first reaction in response to the trigger event?

Ask yourself: How does this make me react?  What is a healthier behavior I can exchange this for (ex: praying, journaling, exercising, deep breathing)?

4. Bringing yourself around to the reality.

(choosing faith and weighing your anxieties against a more likely truth).

At this point, you separate yourself from your feelings, whether that be by journaling or talking through them with someone else and begin weighing the more rational reality. Think of 2 other ways you can view the situation.

Today's Prayer: "Lord help me become more aware of any thoughts that do not come from you."

What if you believed that this didn’t take Me by surprise? (Psalm 139:16; Matthew 6:8)

What if you believed I really do work all things together for your good? (Romans 8:28)

What if you remembered I know the plans I have for you, and I have declared that My plans for you are good, and they include a future and a hope? (Jeremiah 29:11)

What if you remembered I am good, My ways are good, and My love for you is everlasting? (Jeremiah 31:3)

What if you remembered I proved myself faithful to you when you went through this before, and knowing I am the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow, you believed I will be faithful through this as well? (Hebrews 13:8)

What if you stopped listening to the father of lies, who fills your mind with what-ifs, and listened only to the voice of your heavenly Father, who speaks truth and love? (John 17:17)

As I dried my tears, I found a new determination to let go of the anxiety-producing what-ifs and take hold of the prevailing peace God promises. Because even if, God is still big enough to handle whatever comes my way, and none of it takes Him by surprise.

Father, You know all the what-ifs on my heart today. I want to replace them with the truth of who You are. Your love for me isn’t something I have to wonder about the way I wonder about so many other things. Help me to live in the peace of this reality. In Jesus’s name, amen.

As a parent, nothing tempts me to worry more than concern for my children. During that difficult week with my son, I let the concerns that preoccupied my mind distract my heart. When the results didn’t go as I’d hoped, I echoed Martha’s complaint: “Lord, doesn’t it seem unfair to you?”

God replied by asking, “Will you trust me when you cannot see My hand at work? Will you trust that I am always good and My plans for you are always good? Will you choose what is better?”

I had a choice to make. The enemy screamed, “God doesn’t care. If He cared, you would’ve gotten the answer you wanted.” I had to choose to believe the truth of God’s Word: God is sovereign. He knows the good plans He has for me and my child, which include a hopeful future (Jeremiah 29:11). And He promises to work all things together for our good—even this unfortunate situation (Romans 8:28).

My tearful answer was a prayerful “Yes, Lord. I trust you. And I praise you in and through the storm. May the seeds that have been planted in faith be watered by these tears to grow a harvest for Your glory.”

Worrying never accomplishes anything, but trust opens up a world of possibility and allows God to change everything.

Father, You know the days are long, and the pressures are many. I thank You that while we may plan our course, You establish our steps. Help me to trust You, even when I can’t see You at work. In Jesus’s name, amen.

I think we forget sometimes that all those everyday worries add up to an uncomfortable way of living, void of the peace God promises. Worry stems from believing the father of lies, the accuser of the brethren (John 8:44). I’ve taken his bait many times. Have you?

The enemy always wins when he convinces us to divert our attention from God to the details of to-do lists, overcrowded schedules, praiseworthy holiday costumes, perfectly set dinner tables. We focus on “impression management” with styled social media photos and status updates to engender likes, comments, and shares, as if they mean anything about our value and worth. We might even say yes to commitments when we’d rather not, just because we desire acceptance and affirmation. We work ourselves into a frenzy with insufficient rest because we don’t trust next month’s paycheck or perhaps because we’ve fallen victim to the lie that our worth is equal to our busyness or our possessions.

We never see Jesus worried or hurried. He had enough ministry needs to meet to last multiple lifetimes, yet He had only three years to complete the work the Father sent Him to do. He wasn’t ruled by to-do lists or public perception. Never once did He rush to get more done. We never read of Him running to His next divine appointment. Rather, Jesus walked at a pace that was sustainable. He simply did the next thing His Father told Him to do, and that was enough.

I pray, Lord, that You will help me to lay down my worries and, instead, trust in Your perfect provision. Help me to recognize that when I worry, I am believing the enemy’s lies rather than Your promises. In Jesus’s name, amen.

Consider Job. He was devoted to God and hated evil. Through Satan’s doing, all of Job’s livestock and shepherds were killed, his children were killed when a great wind leveled his son’s house, and Job was struck with painful sores over his entire body.

What I feared has come upon me; what I dreaded has happened to me. I have no peace, no quietness; I have no rest, but only turmoil”

Scripture repeatedly commands, “Do not be afraid,” “Do not fear,” “Do not worry,” and “Be anxious for nothing.” Ephesians 6:12 reminds us that our real struggle takes place in the spiritual realm. According to 2 Timothy 1:7, we must guard against the spirit of fear. Job’s devastating situation underscores a crucial truth: our thoughts have power. The enemy ushers havoc and trials into our lives when we agree with the spirit of fear instead of with God’s truth.

Father, thank You for being our strength and our peace. Thank You for caring about every detail of our lives. Lift the weight of worry from my shoulders. Help me to cast all my cares on You, confident that You will comfort and provide in every circumstance. In Jesus’s name, amen.

Just be GRACEFUL and THANKFUL!!!

God want us to TRUST him know matter what!!!

The best way to prepare to fight worry, anxiety, and fear is to learn God’s Word and plant it firmly in our hearts. Then we must take our thoughts captive and discern if they are from God or from the enemy. When they’re from the enemy, we must exchange them for God’s truth, just as Paul instructs us in 2 Corinthians 10.

Many people have asked me how they can determine if their thoughts are from God or from the enemy. Here are some suggestions:

* When God speaks, He never contradicts the Bible or His character. That is why it’s so important to know what the Bible says.

* God never condemns or shames us like the enemy does. God forgives us, and His voice gently corrects us out of love, to keep us in a right relationship with Him.

* God leads us and stills us, whereas the enemy pushes and rushes us.

* God’s voice is comforting, calming, and reassuring, while the enemy worries, frightens, and stresses us.

* While the enemy confuses, God encourages. God is never the author of confusion (1 Corinthians 14:33).

To gain freedom from worry, anxiety, and fear, we must shift the responsibility for all outcomes to God. We must choose not to be anxious but to keep our peace by trusting that just as God causes the leaves to remain green and a crop to grow, so He will help us fulfill whatever He asks of us. “Whatever he asks us to do, he equips us through!” When it comes to keeping our peace rather than letting our hearts become troubled or anxious, we have a choice to make: choose to trust in God’s powerful and loving provision or try to do it ourselves.

God, I want to take every thought captive in obedience to You. Help me to choose to trust in You instead of in myself. In Jesus’s name, amen.

Well actually you did give them permission and you didn't even know it HOW!!! you LISTENED to them, you ENTRAINED them, AGREED with them, and basically you let them stay. By letting them stay the gain entrance to your mind and heart, WORRY stole your JOY, ANXIETY stole your PEACE, FEAR stole your PRESENT as it projected into your FUTURE. All these things stole from your family because you left them in your front door. 

Remember that GOD instructs us NOT TO WORRY!!!!!

Father, help me to trust you more prepare and wait on you for the harvest of peace that you desire for me. Reveal to me the lies I have believed and how to counter them with your truth In Jesus name, AMEN

READ MATTHEWS6:25-34

Deadliness looming, job demands and instability, financial insufficiency, children's poor decision, relationship discord, military deployment the list goes on and on. Did you that this is the breeding ground for worry, anxiety and fear?

Sweating palms, racing, pulse, headaches, butterflies in the stomach difficulty concentrating, feeling overwhelmed any or all of them are symptoms that could indicate worry, anxiety, or fear.

It time to come face-to-face with worry, anxiety, or fear. It's time to put the enemy back in his place and know that he is defeated and he have no power in your life.

Lord You are not the author of confusion, sadness, or despair. You come so that we might have abundant life. You came to give us peace despite our situation and circumstances. I pray that I would leave worries, anxieties, and fear with you and receive your peace in their place. In Jesus name, AMEN

GIVE LOVE

Lord help me not to be quick to judge or oppose love between others. Let me give love time to do its work. I may never see the result I want but I am sure it is in your hands. Amen

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self- seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices wit the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 

LOVE NEVER FAIL...

Help others to see that peace in me and long for it themselves I pray. May others come to know you by seeing Jesus in me. Amen

James 4: 7-8

GOD IS ABLE!

He will do above and beyond all you can ask or think. (Ephesians 3:20) He’s not limited, and so neither are you, because you are made in His image.

MEET JEPHTHAH!

His past told him that he was the son of a prostitute. But God told him he was a mighty warrior! Each one of us has conflicting voices telling us who we are. You must choose God’s version of yourself, rather than people’s version of you. Side with what God says about you.

GET IN TOUCH WITH YOUR NEW SPIRIT

Your spirit is your vertical window, giving you the ability to look up and see from God’s point of view. Your flesh is your horizontal window, allowing you only to look around at your circumstance or to look back at your past limitations. Open your vertical window and look up, expecting God to do above and beyond all you can ask or think!

LIVING BEYOND YOUR WILDEST EXPECTATIONS AND DREAMS STARTS WITH SOME WILD EXPECTATIONS AND DREAMS!

Dream big. Ask big. Expect big! He will do infinitely above and beyond your highest thoughts and dreams!

DON'T LIMIT GOD

Psalm 78:41 says, "They limited the Holy One of Israel." (KJV) We limit Him when we think small, dream small, and ask small. Jabez prayed: ENLARGE MY TERRITORY. (1 Chronicles 4:9-10) Ask that today.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!!

I side with what God says about me today. I am a mighty warrior. I will not be defined or confined by my past. I refuse to be limited by my failure, mistakes, or the limitations others have put on me.

I leave the room where the ceiling is, and I look up. I look up, expecting God to do exceedingly abundantly above and beyond my highest hopes, thoughts, desires, and dreams!

Today I ask God to bless me indeed and enlarge my territory. I refuse to limit Him, and therefore I will break through, in Jesus' Name!

UN-DECIDE THAT IT'S TOO LATE FOR THESE THINGS TO CHANGE

Un-decide that you can’t recover. Un-decide that the damage is irreversible. It’s NOT too late to turn your finances around, to recover from a tragedy or mistake, to surrender your life to God, to take better care of yourself, to change the way you see yourself, to apologize, or to break a bad habit.

MEDITATE ON THE FACT THAT GOD CREATED TIME AND HE CAN MULTIPLY IT

The earth and sun stood still in Joshua 10:12–13. "And Joshua said in the sight of Israel, ‘Sun, stand still.’ So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped." Joshua had control over time for God’s purpose. We need to start thinking that way—that we have control over our time, rather than it having control over us!

THINK ABOUT THE GREAT CLOUD OF WITNESSES FOR WHOM IT WASN'T TOO LATE

It wasn’t too late for Peter after he denied the Lord three times.

It wasn’t too late for the woman caught in adultery (John 8:1–11), the woman with the issue of blood (Mark 5:25–34), or the man who was lame at the pool of Bethesda for 38 years (John 5:1–10).It wasn’t too late for Abraham and Sarah to become parents at 99 and 90 years old.

Lamentations 3:22–23 says, "His mercy is new every morning."Hebrews 4:15 says, "Come boldly to the throne of grace to receive mercy and grace in your time of need." Mercy is when God doesn’t give us the judgment that we do deserve, and grace is when God gives us the goodness that we don’t deserve.

RID YOURSELF OF EXCUSE-MAKING

God doesn’t accept excuses, but He gives lots of grace! We might feel low self-esteem or have a disability as Moses did. He had a speech impediment, but God gave him chance after chance to be used to deliver God’s people.

ASK GOD FOR MORE TIME AND ANOTHER CHANCE

Hezekiah did this in 2 Kings 20:1–6. When Hezekiah asked for a second chance, God told him, "I have heard your prayer . . . surely I will heal you . . . and I will add to your days fifteen years." If he did it for Hezekiah, He will do it for you!

THINK AND SAY IT!!!!

It's not too late for things to improve in my life and radically turn around. I believe in the God of second chances. I can recover, and there is nothing that God won't turn around in my life. God created time, and He can multiply it for me. I am not controlled by time. By God's grace, I control it, in Jesus' Name!

YOU HAVE AUTHORITY IN LIFE

Remember, Jesus has given us ALL power over the enemy (Luke 10:19). The enemy, the devil, wants to blind you to your authority, so that you will accept whatever happens in life, or wait for God to do something about it. Awaken to your God-given authority as a child of God.

START REIGNING AND YOU'LL STOP WHINING

"Through the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness, we REIGN in life." (Romans 5:17) As you awake to grace & righteousness—and your God-given authority—you’ll stop thinking and feeling like a victim.

YOU'RE JUST LIKE JESUS!

Yes, the disciples woke Jesus, and He stopped the storm. BUT, in 1 John 4:17, it tells us that as He is, so are we. He gave you His Word, His Name, and His authority. You can stop the forces of hell that come against you.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!

I agree with Jesus! I take authority over the storms of life, and over all the power of the enemy. Through the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness, I reign in life. I have the power to choose PEACE in the midst of the storms of life. I walk in wisdom, by acting on the Word, and I rise above every situation, in the Name of Jesus!

JESUS DECLARES YOU: NOT GUILTY

This doesn’t mean that you’ve never sinned or done wrong. This means that He washed away all your sin and guilt with His blood. The Word of God declares Jesus as our guilt offering, thus declaring us free from guilt.

SEE WHAT GOD SEES

Accept Colossians 1:22, which says that through Jesus’ blood, “He presents you holy and faultless and unblamable in the Father’s eyes.”When God sees you, He sees Jesus—like when Jacob went before his father Isaac with the hair, skin, and scent of his brother. The father saw Jacob as if he were Esau. And He sees you as if you were Jesus—without guilt.

MEDITATE ON JOB 10:7

“According to your knowledge, I am indeed not guilty...” (NASB) When a person is born again, they are cleansed of sin and guilt by the blood of Jesus, and therefore not guilty.

WHEN YOU BLOW IT, DON'T DENY IT

Admit it. Confess it. 1 John 1:9 says, “If you confess your sin, He is faithful and just to forgive you and to cleanse you from all unrighteousness.”

The last words of Jesus on the cross were, “It is finished”. At that moment, the price was paid for your sin and guilt. Hebrews 1:3 says, “He cleansed us from our sin.”

STOP THINKING THAT YOU HAVE TO FEEL GUILTY TO BE FORGIVEN

Sometimes we think we owe it to people to feel guilty and bad for everything. Stop thinking that. You don’t owe anyone anything. Don’t think guilt somehow pays for something. The blood of Jesus paid it all. When we feel like we owe God guilt or we owe it to others to wallow in guilt, it’s an insult to His blood.

STOP BEATING YOURSELF UP ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVEN’T DONE

We often punish ourselves with self-condemnation. We will never do enough for God. That’s why Jesus did it all. He paid for sin, the curse, and our failure. Our job is to believe.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!!

Jesus has declared me not guilty. Even when I feel I don’t do enough, or that I’m not good enough, God says that faith in Him is enough. I don’t have to feel guilty to be forgiven. I am forgiven by faith in Jesus. Today I stop beating myself up about all that I’ve done or haven’t done. I don’t have to be perfect. He already is—therefore, I rest my faith in Him, in Jesus’ Name!

GOD IS A YES GOD

2 Corinthians 1:20—"All the promises of God are YES!" He says YES to everything He has promised. He’s a positive God. And you are made in His image.

Success comes in CANS, not in cannots! Philippians 4:13 says, "I CAN do all things through Christ which strengthens me."

GET RID OF THE NEGATIVE PSYCHIC IN YOU

The "negative psychic" in you presumes you know what people are thinking about you and it’s usually bad. "She thinks I’m an idiot"; "I can tell he’s always judging me" . . . etc. The only person’s thoughts that matter about you are God’s, and THEY ARE GOOD.

STOP SEEING GIANTS AROUND YOU. AND START SEEING THE GIANT IN YOU!

Greater is He that is in you. Begin to see yourself conquering everything!

A thermostat SETS the temperature. It doesn’t read it. Set the thermostat of your attitude to "ABOVE ONLY" thinking. Deuteronomy 28:13 says, "You will be ABOVE ONLY and not beneath."The NIV says, "YOU WILL ALWAYS BE AT THE TOP." Refuse to accept any other way of thinking or living.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!!!

My life is getting easier not harder! I focus on the good things God has done in my life. I believe all things are possible! I look for opportunity to come my way because of my hope in Jesus. I’m above ONLY and not beneath. I am the head and not the tail. My attitude of faith and expectation in God takes precedence over all other facts . . . beginning today, in Jesus’ Name!

CAST YOUR CARES UPON GOD

He will care for you. How? Be honest. Tell Him what’s wrong. Ask Him to carry it for you and believe He will. Remember, after you give Him your cares, don’t run to pick them back up. Trust Jesus to carry the load for you.

BEGIN TO BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN HANDLE ANYTHING

Start believing this today. Mark 9:23 says, "All things are possible for those who believe."

EAST ON THIS THOUGHT: NOTHING IS TOO DIFFICULT FOR GOD

If nothing is too difficult for Him, and He lives in you, then nothing is too difficult for you. You will make it!

GOD WILL COMPLETE THOSE THINGS THAT CONCERN YOU

As you surrender those concerns to God, they become His responsibility. He will complete, fulfill, perfect, and bring those things to pass. He will lift your burden and finish what He started in your life.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!!

I can handle anything today, because I am yoked to Jesus. Today I refuse to be overwhelmed. I cast all my cares on Jesus. He cares for me and will carry my load.

Nothing is too difficult for God. Therefore, I declare that nothing is too difficult for me today! He is the author and finisher of my faith, in Jesus' Name!

Expect it to get brighter today!

YOU HAVE A COVENANT OF INCREASE FROM GOD

Psalm 115:14 says, "May the Lord give you increase." Deuteronomy 1:11 says, "May the Lord increase you a thousand times and bless you as He has promised." Expect!

ELIMINATE THE "HALF EMPTY GLASS" MENTALITY

In fact, don’t accept it "half full" either! Think: My cup runs over!

LOOK AT HOW GOD DOES THINGS

He takes us from law to grace; from sin to righteousness; from sickness to health; from defeat to victory; therefore, expect things to get better and better in every area of your life.

EXPECT THE BEST TODAY!

In Luke 15:22, the father said, "Bring the best robe, and put it on my son . . ." You are God’s child. He wants the best for you. Believe for goodness and mercy to follow you all the days of your life.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!!

No matter what is happening in this world, things are getting better and better for me! God has made me righteous through His blood; therefore, my path is getting brighter and brighter every day.

My inner man is being renewed, day by day. I have a covenant of increase and God is increasing me, and all that I have, more and more. I expect the best today. He has saved the best for last, and therefore I expect my coming days to be better than my past days, in Jesus’ Name!

GOD IS NOT MAD AT YOU; HE IS MAD ABOUT YOU!

This is something I started saying many years ago when I discovered God’s love. When you accept this thought, you will have confidence, expectation, and peace. How do I know this is true? Romans 8:38–39 says, "Nothing can separate you from the love of God . . ." You are forgiven, and you are LOVED.

In John 17:23, Jesus says to the Father, ". . . that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, as much as You have loved Me." What an amazing truth. God loves you as much as He loves Jesus!

THERE IS NOTHING GOD IS HOLDING BACK FROM YOU

Romans 8:32 says, "He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not also with Him freely give us all things." Rejoice in this truth!

YOU ARE NOT CONDEMNED

Romans 8:1 says, "There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus . . ." God approves of you because of your faith in Jesus, not because you have done everything right. God’s love for you is non-negotiable. Jeremiah 31:3 says He loves you with an everlasting love. It is an unstoppable love!

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!

God is not mad at me; He is mad about me. He loves me as much as Jesus. He thinks precious thoughts about me all the time. I am His beloved, and He is mine!

There is nothing God is holding back from me. He didn’t hold back His best; therefore He won’t hold back the rest.

I refuse to be condemned. I am forgiven. I reject the thought that He is mad at me or against me. God is for me and not against me. His love toward me is unstoppable, in Jesus’ Name!

LET THIS PERMEATE YOUR MIND: GOD IS A GOD OF RESTORATION

Joel 2:25–26 says, "I will restore the years that have been lost."Whether it’s lost years, lost opportunity, lost finances, bad decisions, or what others have done to you—God will restore. He is the God of restoration.

We must refuse to settle. The ten lepers wouldn’t settle for their leprosy. They cried out to Jesus. The woman with the demon-possessed daughter wouldn’t settle with her daughter’s condition (Matthew 15:22). Bartimaeus wouldn’t settle with blindness. He wouldn’t stop until he recovered his sight. REFUSE to settle for the way things are.

ALL THE PROMISES OF GOD ARE YES

He has promised restoration and recovery—so ask Him for them TODAY. God wants you to recover more than you do. Believe this.

BELIEVE THE PROMISE: THE THIEF HAS TO REPAY SEVEN-FOLD WHAT HE'S STOLEN

The devil is the thief. And Jesus has defeated him. He has given us authority over him. You have the right to get your stuff back. Jesus paid for it. Whatever good thing that has been lost in your life is coming back.

PROPHESY TO THE DRY BONES IN YOUR LIFE

Speak to whatever is lost and command it to come back. Use your words. Job 22:28 says, "I shall decree a thing and it will be so."

EXPECT RECOVERY!

"You shall surely overtake your enemies and you shall recover all"
(1 Samuel 30:8). Restoration and the recovery of what has been lost in our lives is a divine promise. Stand on it today.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!!

I will recover all that has been lost in my life. I expect the restoration of lost relationships, lost money, lost hope, and lost opportunities. I will not settle for loss and lack. God will avenge me. He will restore what has been stolen from me. I ask Him and expect Him to avenge me of all that has been lost in my life. I call forth a seven-fold return of what has been taken from me, in Jesus’ Name!

DISCOVER THE POWER WITHIN YOU

Remember, anger comes from a sense of powerlessness. When we feel powerless to change something, we get afraid, leading us to anger. 2 Timothy 1:7 says, "God has not given us a spirit of fear, but power, love, and a sound mind." Meditate on this verse. You have power.

James 1:19 says, "Be quick to hear, slow to speak, then the result is that you will be slow to anger!" Follow this simple pattern, and anger will lose its grip.

REALIZE THAT ANGER DOES NOT WORK

It doesn’t produce or achieve anything. James 1:20 says, "For the anger of man does not achieve (work, produce) the righteousness of God." If you had an employee that didn’t work, produce, or achieve, you would fire them, right? Fire your anger from your life. It doesn’t achieve anything.

DEAL WITH UNRESOLVED CONFLICT TODAY!

Ephesians 4:26 says, "Do not let the sun go down on your anger."Make peace with whomever you have something against today. Don’t let it fester. You’ll be amazed at how much less you will feel angry.

IT'S OK TO FEEL ANGER, BUT DIRECT IT THE RIGHT WAY—TOWARDS THE DEVIL

Notice, the next verse goes on to say, "Don’t give the devil an opportunity to work." (Ephesians 4:27) The devil wants you to blame others for your anger. But realize, there’s no one to blame but the devil! And like a soldier with a machine gun, who just discovered the enemy, turn your weapons completely on him. Use your anger to resist the devil by speaking the Word with an aggressive force, and eliminate his opportunity to work!

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!!

I am free from the power of anger. I have power over it! I have power, love, and a sound mind. I will not act rashly, but choose to listen quickly and speak slowly. I say to anger: You are fired!

I refuse to blame anyone for my angry feelings. I will use my aggressive feelings against the devil by speaking the Word of God and resisting him firmly in my faith today, in Jesus' Name!

UNDERSTAND THE GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

2 Corinthians 5:21 says, "He who knew NO sin, was made to be sin FOR US, that we would be MADE the righteousness of God." This is the greatest EXCHANGE in human history! Jesus took our sinfulness and imparted to us His righteousness–which means we are RIGHT in God’s eyes, not wrong.

AWAKE TO RIGHTEOUSNESS

1 Corinthians 15:34 (AMP) says, "Awaken to righteousness; and you will not sin." When God thinks of you, He thinks of a victorious, conquering, strong, powerful, wise, and holy son or daughter. He sees you as a mighty champion— the head and not the tail. Righteousness means: to stand in His presence without a sense of guilt, shame, inferiority, or condemnation.

ASK THE HOLY SPIRIT TO DO WHAT HE DOES BEST

1 Corinthians 2:12 says, " . . . We have received the Spirit of God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God." A key ministry of the Holy Spirit is to REVEAL what is already yours (NOT TO REVEAL TO YOU ALL THAT IS WRONG IN YOUR LIFE).

DWELL ON WHAT’S RIGHT RATHER THAN WHAT’S WRONG

Go through the Scripture regarding who you are in Christ, what is yours in Christ, and what you can do in Christ. It’s staggering. Flood your mind with this new way of thinking.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!!

I am the righteousness of God, through the blood of Jesus. I stand in the presence of God without guilt, shame, inferiority, or condemnation. I awake to righteousness and believe it will lead me to a victorious life. I am a joint heir with Jesus. When God looks at me, He sees His blood. He thinks of me as a conquering, powerful, and holy son or daughter. I will not think of myself as anything less or more than what God thinks of me in Jesus' Name!

In Luke 10:19, Jesus said: "Behold I have given you authority . . . over all the power of the enemy." The devil doesn’t push us around. We push him around! Whatever we bind on earth is bound in heaven—Matthew 18:18. You’re never afraid of what you have authority over.

Simply accept it today! Jesus said: My peace I GIVE you, not as the world gives—John 14:27. We receive peace, not as something dependent on circumstances—it is a gift. Therefore, we don’t have to be afraid.

2 Timothy 1:7 says, "God has NOT given you a spirit of fear; but POWER, LOVE, and a SOUND MIND.

TAKE YOUR DAILY "PRE-SCRIPTURE" AS YOUR NEW "PRESCRIPTION"

IN THE DARKEST OF TIMES, GOD PRESENTS HIS MOST STUNNING PERFORMANCES

Expect God to show up!

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!!

I receive the gift of PEACE, and therefore I am not troubled. I have power, love, and a sound mind. I have authority over the enemy. No evil or disaster can harm me. God is my Deliverer. I expect God to show up in my life today, in Jesus' name.

In Mark 4:36-40, Jesus was asleep in the boat. Someone asked me once, "How do we wake Jesus up, when He is asleep in our boat, in the middle of a storm?" Well, I said, "You don’t wake Him up. You rest with Him!" If He’s not worried, don’t you worry. HIS PRESENCE calmed the storm then, just as it will do now.

They needed to awake to the fact that God was with them. When you know He is with you, there is nothing to fear. Psalm 23:4 says, "Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear NO EVIL, for You are with me!"

PSALM 91:10 SAYS, "NO EVIL SHALL BEFALL YOU, NOR SHALL ANY PLAGUE COME NEAR YOUR TENT"

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!!

I am not trying to get in God's presence; I am already in, through the blood of Jesus. He is in my boat with me. He is not "over there." He is "here" right now—with me and in me!

I awake to the fact that He is with me. There is no separation. I can rest with Him, in the midst of any storm. I can walk with Him in the midst of the fire.

I am fearless, because He is with me. Therefore, no evil shall befall me, nor shall any plague come near my dwelling place—my church, my home, my body, or my life—in Jesus’ Name!

2 Corinthians 5:7 says, "We live by faith; therefore we forgive by faith."Never let your faith follow your feelings. Your feelings will catch up with your faith.

It simply means to GIVE BEFORE. We need to "give" forgiveness BEFORE the person apologizes, BEFORE they change, and most importantly BEFORE you feel anything. Just as faith works by believing God’s promises BEFORE they show up (Mark 11:24-25), forgiveness works BEFORE you feel it. When you forgive BEFORE you feel good feelings about that person, you are living in the highest level of faith.

Psalm 103:2-4 says, "Bless the Lord O my soul and forget none of His benefits—He pardons all your iniquities, heals all your diseases, redeems your life from destruction, crowns you with loving-kindness and compassion." Think on these things.

THINK IT AND SAY IT !!!!

I accept that forgiveness is not a feeling. It’s a decision. Beginning today, I expect the bitter feelings, the problems, and the unanswered prayers to change because of the choice I have made.

I forgive by faith, which means that as I act on the Word of God and declare my forgiveness out loud, I am walking in forgiveness, whether I feel something or not.

I am forgiven and I am a forgiver! I choose to forgive others (AND MYSELF), BEFORE they change, before they deserve it, and before I feel it. I focus on what God has done for me, rather than what others have done to me, and therefore, I am free. In Jesus’ Name!

YOU HAVE COMEBACK DNA IN YOU

Even in what seems like the worst situation, the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you. Expect your comeback! You have resurrection DNA in you!

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!!

I have comeback DNA in me! It’s my new nature to always rise, even when I’ve fallen. I have the blood-bought right to get back up when I’ve failed! Jesus doesn’t turn from me when I’ve fallen; He turns to me and prays for me. I cannot fail. He will not fail me. His love will never fail toward me. I am expecting God to turn my failures and frustrations around beginning today, in Jesus’ Name!

We’ve all felt at times that we can’t change a certain habit or a weakness in our lives. We often feel "confined" by whatever has previously "defined" us. But, as we change our mindsets regarding WHO we are and what God has given us, ANYTHING can change. Today a new hope will be born in you!

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!!

It is easy to live the Christian life because God already made me more than a conqueror. Jesus did it all! His life is in me. His love is in me. His power is in me. His Spirit is in me. Therefore, I cannot fail as a Christian! I am not alone, and never will be. I am yoked to Him, and that’s why I can enjoy my relationship WITH God, rather than strive to fulfill a duty FOR God. I am free, in Jesus’ Name!

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!

I always have enough, because Philippians 4:19 says, "God shall supply ALL my needs, according to His riches."  I always have enough, because My God is more than enough. I believe that seeds meet needs. I am a sower, and therefore I am a reaper. God is a multiplier, and so am I. I am called to be fruitful and multiply. God is multiplying every good seed that I have ever sown. As I give, He gives back to me good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, in Jesus’ Name!

Proverbs 23:7 says, "As a man thinks, so is he." Your thoughts will shape your decisions; your decisions will shape your actions; your actions will shape your habits.

Romans 12:2 says, "Be transformed." This is something that happens TO you, as you renew your mind to God’s Word. It’s happening to you right now as you fast from wrong thinking! And as you fill your mind with God’s goodness, it LEADS you to "repentance" (which is: to change your thinking, Romans 2:4).

(Quote from Mickey to Rocky in the movie, Rocky II ) Get rid of "can’t" from your vocabulary and your mindset. You can do all things through Christ.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!!

I am not under the bondage or control of any sin, habit, or problem in my life anymore. I am under the grace of God, giving me dominion over sin and temptation. I am yoked to Jesus. Therefore, it is His strength that I walk in. As I renew my mind to the Word of God, I am being changed and transformed, in Jesus' Name!

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!!

I have a destiny. I am chosen by God. I cannot go unnoticed by Jesus. He sees me, and recognizes me, and calls me His own. He is coming over to my house because He loves me and considers me significant. I reject all feelings of insignificance and unimportance. I am the apple of His eye, in Jesus’ Name!

REMEMBER that you are chosen and that you have a destiny and you are the apple of Father's eye

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!!

I give up small thinking. I let go of a small god. I agree with God’s way of looking at things and God’s language. I decide to think bigger and bigger every day, and to ask for the things God said I could ask for. I accept the visions and dreams that the Holy Spirit wants to give me; and I let go of all failure, disappointment, and fear-based thoughts, in Jesus’ Name!

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!

I am not separated from God in any way. He is an ever-present help in my time of trouble. His ever-presence brings me help! I recognize that He is already in me. That’s what makes my faith work. God is not far off. He is right here, right now. I am surrounded by His love and enveloped in His presence. Therefore I am not afraid. I am not trying to live FOR God; I am living FROM Him. His power is in me. His presence is in me. His love is in me. And nothing can ever separate me from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus, my Lord! Amen.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!!

I am unlimited in my ability to grow and change. God is the potter and I am the clay. I am what God says I am. He began a good work in me, and He will finish it. He is making me into something GOOD. I am His workmanship—His work of art. He’s good at this and has been doing it for a long time! I am not in bondage to my weaknesses and former limitations. They do not define me. Every day and every moment that passes is making me more and more like Jesus!

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!!

I let go of the mindset that tells me I’m not holy enough, or I haven’t done enough to receive answered prayers. I receive His promises by faith. I am a joint heir with Jesus Christ. I expect to get what He deserves, not what I deserve. The throne of His grace is always open! His river of lavish love- gifts are always flowing towards me! I receive His grace, freely and lavishly, in Jesus’ Name!

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!!

I am a new creation in Christ Jesus; and no matter how bad my past is, it’s not only forgiven—it’s washed away!  I am more than a conqueror, and I will not be pushed around by memories or people from my past. Because of the blood of Jesus, I am not guilty. I shake off my past. I declare it is over, and I expect God will turn my situation around for good in some miraculous way, in Jesus’ Name!

FUNERAL PRAY FOR REGRET!!!

Kiss regret goodbye. Have a burial service for whatever is nagging you. Take 20 seconds and pray this funeral prayer: "Lord, I thank you that this sin or mistake of my past is dead and gone. You have removed it & forgotten it, therefore so do I! I shake it off and commit it to You."

And thus concludes this funeral service for your past!

I will never be depressed another day in my life. I decide to stop condemning myself and beating myself up for my shortcomings. I believe God is working in me every day. I am not a negative thinker. I am positive. God is for me, with me, and in me, therefore depression cannot stay. I am not helpless because I have the Holy Spirit living in me. I command every ounce of depression to loose me and let me go. I command it to be removed and cast into the sea, in Jesus’ Name!

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!!!

I am free from being offended. I am free from the emotions of offense, bitterness, and the right to feel mad. I will not be trapped by those feelings. I love God’s Word. I attach myself to what He said and did. I refuse to pay attention to the wrong done to me. I forgive and release those that have hurt me. I express my feelings to God, and I am healed, in Jesus’ Name!

REMEMBER THIS..... Focus on what God has done for you.

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!!

No one can keep me down! I am not a victim. I am a victor. I take full responsibility for my responses in life—my attitudes and my decisions. Holy Spirit, I am asking for your help. You live in me, and you are my Helper! I refuse to give away my power by blaming others. I take responsibility for my thoughts, my actions, and my REACTIONS. I abandon the idea that my situation is the fault of anyone else. I am an overcomer. I am more than a conqueror, in Jesus’ Name!

THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!!

All things are possible for me because I believe God’s Word. All of His promises are possible because all His promises are "Yes"; and He can’t lie. Jesus is the WAY when it seems like there is no way. Faith comes as I hear God’s Word; and faith moves the impossible mountain as I speak God’s Word today, in Jesus’ Name!

REMEMBER NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER EVER GIVE UP!!!! EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE WITH GOD........

THINK AND SAY IT!!!!

I believe that God will give me the interpretations to life’s problems and that He will bless me with wisdom and answers. I believe there is a solution to every problem because I have the mind of Christ. I welcome the Holy Spirit to pray through me and bring God’s will and solutions to my life and to the lives of those around me, in Jesus’ Name!

Stop complaining and about the problems and be the solution to the problem.  Every problems you have in life you have a solution to the problem. Remember the same power that rose Jesus from the grave that same power lives in you.

Anxiety has lost its power over me. When I feel anxious, it is a signal to pray and praise God. When I add prayer, anxiety is subtracted. Because I am so valuable to God, I know that He will take care of me. I attack panic by speaking the Word of God. The Prince of Peace lives inside of me, therefore, I have peace guarding my heart and mind. I breathe praise to God today, in Jesus’ Name!

Always Remember God Word is TRUE!!!!

A sense of powerlessness is the root of all negative emotions.

The thought that there's not much we can do about the economy, or our weight, or the allergies we grew up with forces us to accept and tolerate a mediocre and weak life. Remember the same power that raise Jesus from the day LIVES in you. You have the power to defeated the enemy and always that don't us to think that we are Powerless because today you have the POWER. You're no longer POWERLESS you have POWER.

We’ve all felt at times that we can’t change a certain habit or a weakness in our lives. We often feel "confined" by whatever has previously "defined" us. But, as we change our mindsets regarding WHO we are and what God has given us, ANYTHING can change. Today a new hope will be born in you! Just know that you can change your mind setting with changing the wait I think. It's not going to happen over night but if you take this journey with me can change our way for thinking.
