TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
|
|
Scripture tells us that there
is a battle going on in our minds. Our thoughts dictate our actions. That’s
why the enemy will do everything he can to get you thinking in the wrong
direction. Sometimes, it’s not our own thoughts that are holding us back; sometimes
it’s that we’ve believed the negative things that other people have spoken.
Those words are like seeds. If you dwell on them long enough, they’ll take
root and become reality.
In life, there will always be
people telling you what cannot be done, speaking negative things. Too often
we latch on to those negative words and develop what the scripture calls a
“stronghold.” That’s a wrong thought or action that keeps us from God’s best.
The way you break those negative strongholds is by rejecting the lie,
forgiving the person, and embracing the truth of God’s Word. In other words,
you have to choose to delete that negative file in your mind.
Today, why don’t you take
inventory of your thought life? Ask yourself, “Where did these thoughts come
from? Do they line up with what God says about me?” Break the negative
strongholds and embrace God’s truth so you can be all that God has called you
to be!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

|
Father, today I
choose to reject negative thoughts. I choose to reject lies from the past. I

which sets me free in Jesus’ name. Amen.

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...
