Bye Bye Struggles

Mar16

End of your ropeAs 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

Be A Doubt Buster Today

Mar15

Breaking ChainesEver find yourself saying “I doubt that could happen” or “my circumstances will never change” or “it’s just the way it is”?

We all go through long periods in our lives when nothing seems to be going right. Whether you got a bad report from the doctor or you can’t pay your bills. Maybe your family is in strife or you can’t find a job. Maybe your body is being attacked.

Whatever you find yourself going through, it’s easy to think on the problem and complain about it constantly. Worse yet, if it’s been a long time with the same problem or many problems all at once, you can find yourself saying I guess I just need to get used to it and you accept defeat.

No! There are two ways to live our lives. One in the “doubting Thomas” mindset or one in the “all things are possible to those who believe” mindset. When we doubt, we are being double minded. God said he gave us the power to choose life or death; therefore choose life. (Deuteronomy 30:19-20) He also has made it quite clear that when we doubt, we are setting ourselves up for failure.

James 1:6-7: “But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord.”

God makes it quite clear that if we doubt than we should not expect anything from Him. Basically when we doubt, we are telling God that our problems are larger than He is. How do you think that must make God feel when He created everything thing in the world, including us?

So you must be wondering, now what can I do? We must become more childlike where we stop analyzing everything to death. Every time a doubting thought comes into your mind, immediately replace it with God’s word!

  • When you have a thought that the pain will never go away…say “by His stripes I am healed!
  • When you think my circumstances will never change…say “I am more than a conqueror through Christ!”
  • When your finances dry up and you have no way to pay the bills…say “My God shall supply all my needs according to His riches and glory!”

Feed Your Faith

No matter what you see or feel, God knows every single piece of hair on your head. He counts your tears. There is absolutely nothing too hard for Him.

It may be taking longer than you would like and you are finding yourself frustrated; it’s okay…God completely understands. Ask Him for His forgiveness. AND FROM THIS DAY FORWARD…choose life and life more abundantly over every doubt, over every fear, over every pain. For God can not lie and all His promises will come to pass in your life if you will hold on tight and push the doubt away.

Let’s all become Doubt Busters today! You are not staying where you are right now…you have a tremendous life ahead of you and nothing, and I do mean nothing, can hold God’s promises back from being completed in your life! Stay in faith and know that everything will be alright!

VICTORY IS YOURS ~ JUST BELIEVE!

The Dreaded Doubt

Mar14

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to doubt?  When things are going crazy around you and life seems to be throwing you a lot of lemons, we tend to think things will never get any better.  We begin to think that life isn’t fair and we can never get out of these lousy circumstances.

This is something I have personally struggled with in the past.  I had found myself experiencing a very long period of not enough and life just kept spiralling downward without any reprieve in sight.  So, it became easier to think that life wasn’t going to get any better.  I started to believe I was a failure and that is when depression set in…all from the doubts that kept creeping into my mind.

During this entire time, God kept trying to get my attention. I would be channel surfing on the TV and would end up watching a sermon about faith.  Or, I would grab for a book and it would be all about His Grace and Unmerited Favor. But in my stinkin’ thinkin’…I would constantly tell myself, that is great for those giving the testimonies but God won’t do it for me.

BUT, that is where I was wrong.  God is not a respecter of persons. (Acts 10:34)  What He will do for one, He will do for all. There is absolutely nothing too big or too small for God to handle.  My problem was I kept thinking and doubting that it would happen for me.

When we doubt, we stop having faith and hope.  It stunts our growth.  We begin the downward spiral that seems to never end.  Yet, this doesn’t have to be.  Doubt should never be an option for those who believe in Him!  The more we look at our terrible circumstances, the more doubt will continue to creep into our lives and we start losing the very essence of who we are in Christ.

On the cross, Christ conquered all sickness, all poverty, all failures and gave us the greatest gift known to man…HIMSELF!  By believing that Christ is our Lord and Savior, doubt has no place in our lives.  We become more than conquerors! (Romans 8:37)  We are the head and not the tail. (Deuteronomy 28:13) We are successful and have more than enough to spare and share!

When you start believing in His promises and allowing your FAITH to grow, doubt will diminish and you will begin to see your life turnaround.  God has perfect timing and ways to make our lives better than ever before.  So, LOOK UP and trust in Him…for our lives are BIGGER, BETTER and FULL OF GOD’S AMAZING GRACE.  Nothing will defeat us because we are in HIS HANDS and HE WILL NEVER LEAVE OR FORSAKE US!  

WE ARE VICTORIOUS!  THINK IT…SAY IT…BELIEVE IT!
