TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
|
Have you ever considered the
power of the statement, “I am”? What follows these two simple words will
determine what kind of life you live. “I am blessed. I am strong. I am
healthy.” Or, “I am slow. I am unattractive. I am stupid.” The “I am’s” that
are coming out of your mouth will bring either success or failure. All
through the day the power of “I am” is at work in our minds. Many times we
use the power of “I am” against us. We don’t realize how it’s affecting our
future.
Here’s the principle. What
follows the “I am” will always come looking for you. The good news is that
you get to choose what follows the “I am.” When you go through the day
saying, “I am blessed,” blessings come looking for you. “I am talented.”
Talent comes looking for you. You may not feel up to par but when you say, “I
am healthy,” health starts heading your way. “I am strong.” Strength starts
tracking you down. You’re inviting that into your life. Get up in the morning
and invite good things into your life. Declare “I am blessed. I am strong. I
am talented. I am disciplined. I am focused. I am prosperous.” And always
make sure God’s truth follows “I am”!

Trusting God – Do you have faith –? What is faith – faith gives substance to the things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. So how is ones faith tested –? When the going gets tough do we abandon our God – do we jump ship because we are “going through” The answer is NO , as Christians we must keep the faith – even when it does not look good or feel good – you have to know its working for the good – you must learn the lesson – the season of testing – your harvest season is over – it’s time for reaping your reward – you stood the good fight - they lied on you, they cheated on you, they ignored you, your finances fell so below it’s a wonder you are still standing- and yet through it all you kept harvesting and trusting – storing up on his word and planting good seeds. The bible says : Ecclesiastes 3:1-22 - For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to pl...
