The “I CAN’T” Syndrome

Everyday people are tormenting themselves by thinking:

I Can’t change
I Can’t believe
I Can’t get over this sickness
I Can’t go on
I Can’t forgive
I Can’t pay my bills
I Can’t get a job and so on.

What we must realize is that this mentality and attitude sets us up to fail, to quit, and to live a negative, defeated life. It is a very poisonous mindset that we must overcome in order to see victory within our lives.

The Bible has so many wonderful scriptures that deal with this mindset. When you start thinking “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13) or “Oh Lord my God, I cried to You and You healed me.” (Psalm 30:2); you will begin to notice changes in your life.

The most important thing we can do, is stand firm in His word and have faith that he will change our circumstances. For in Ephesians 3:20 it says “He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above and beyond all we can ask or think“, so why in the world would we allow the dreaded “I Can’t” Syndrome rule in our lives. “I Can’t” shouldn’t be in our vocabulary.

We serve a BIG GOD and he wants us to have more than enough to spare and share. Why do you think one of God’s names in the Bible is El Shaddai? It means more than enough! I don’t think that would be coincidental, do you?

The best thing we can do to over come this negative mindset is set our eyes above. “For my God shall supply ALL your needs according to His riches.” (Philippians 4:19) There is absolutely no question that God has you covered, no matter what the circumstance looks like. We are VICTORIOUS and CONQUERORS through Christ!

So, Stand Up and Shake It Off

SAY…I CAN! Watch Me!

Winning the Battle

Mar18

Have you noticed that the people of the world don’t seem to be going through as many struggles as believers are? Right now, problems are plaguing the children of God. Physically, spiritually, financially, emotionally; every day appears to be worse than before. Have you ever stopped to wonder why?

There is a huge battle going on in the spiritual realm. If people are following the “world’s” way, they are not considered a threat. However, if they believe in Christ, they are considered a huge, terrible threat.

Our battles are not of this world. We are told in II Corinthians 10:3-4: “For though we walk in the flesh, we are not carrying on our warfare according to the flesh and using mere human weapons. For the weapons of our warfare are not physical, but they are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds.”

Satan carefully strategizes and is trying to get you to waiver. He is doing everything he can to make you think wrong thoughts and not believe who you are in Christ. Satan is very good in setting up strongholds every chance he gets; cunningly deceiving all of those who will listen to his lies. He doesn’t want you realizing that YOU ARE MORE THAN A CONQUERER!

That is why we must always be on guard. Every time a thought comes into your mind, you need to ask yourself if it lines up with God’s word or not. If it doesn’t, dismiss it immediately. Then, find a scripture that contradicts the thought, in order to put your mind back in alignment with God’s word. This will help build your confidence, your faith, and help you stand tall against all of the adversity.

You are a threat to Satan. He knows his time is short and he needs to get every one of us going down the wrong path. The more he can throw at us, the more we start doubting our calling and who we are. Don’t let Satan dim your light! You are a CHILD OF THE MOST HIGH GOD. Peace, love, joy, and victory are yours for the taking!

Expect the Unexpected

When life is throwing you curve balls and it seems like you are striking out, then, lift your head because you have the most incredible God there is! He wants you to know that He sees all of the struggles you are going through. He sees all the addictions that have a hold of you. He knows what dreams He placed inside of you. And He is here telling you….EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED!

When there doesn’t appear to be a way…He has a way!
When nothing seems to be going right…He knows what doors to open!
When you have no idea how you are going to pay your bills…He knows how to get the funds to you!
When you need a job, filled with your passions…He knows the right place and the right time to bring it to you!
When you need a miraculous solution…He already has it coming to you!
When you need healing…He is the Master Physician!

It doesn’t matter what we see in the natural. WE HAVE A SUPERNATURAL GOD that LOVES US VERY MUCH! Grasp that knowledge and hold on tight. Believe in Him for He has your answers, your provisions, your healing and everything else you need! (Luke 1:37) HE IS THE GREAT I AM! (Exodus 3:14) Everything we need and so much more than we could ever imagine.

So, no matter what you are facing today…your tomorrow looks incredibly great! He will never leave you or forsake you (Hebrews 13:5)…so look up and know that your answer is already on its way!

EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED! HE WILL BLOW YOU AWAY with His goodness, His love, His provision, His healing and His protection! Receive and believe for He has your need already answered! We serve a HUGE GOD (Psalm 147:5) that is more powerful, more loving and more amazing than we could ever imagine. Expect the Unexpected!

Bye Bye Struggles

Mar16

As we go through our daily lives, we tend to look at what “WE” should do. I should do this…I should do that. I should pray more. I should tithe more. I should read the Bible more. I should have helped more. I shouldn’t have watched that show. I shouldn’t have lost my temper. I shouldn’t have had that nasty thought. And so on, and so on, and so on.

Satan loves to keep us in this type of mindset. Every time something goes wrong, he loves to make us look at what we should or should not have done. Making us feel bad, stressed, or worried.

However, what we need to realize is that God does not see us when He looks from Heaven. He sees Jesus. I John 4:17 “…because as He is, so are we in this world.”

When you accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior, you accepted Jesus as your substitute. It is no longer YOUR effort but HIS. God wants you to understand that you are IN CHRIST JESUS! That means every single time you see yourself lacking, look to Jesus and His finished work.

We can’t earn God’s love or blessings…we already have them. We can not do more because Jesus already did. Everything that comes against us, Jesus already conquered. All we need to do is rest in His finished work because Jesus lives within us.

When a sickness is attacking you, See Jesus.
When your finances are depleting, See Jesus.
When you are struggling with addictions, See Jesus.
When you need a miraculous solution, See Jesus.

So, let’s stop struggling and blaming ourselves today. Instead, let’s be more like David in the Psalms when He prayed “Look upon your anointed one (Jesus) and bless me”. It is by embracing Jesus and resting in His finished work, our answers lie. You may not be able to see or touch your solution yet. But, HE is your answer. Nothing that comes against you will prosper.

Greater is He
