Your mindset will keep you stuck in the same place year after year with no change. We need to learn how to change our minds and our perspective. Often times, we can make excuses for why we are “stuck” and can’t follow the will of God for our lives, when really what we need to change is our mindset. We need to go from a victim mindset to a victor. Learn how to change your mindset. Learn how to change your mind.
Are we the ones holding ourselves back? We think “I can’t follow God because of this or that”, and the excuses continue to pile up. But God will equip us if we step out in faith, He will provide for our needs according to His purpose for our lives. He also gives us His promises from the Word so we know that with Him all things are possible.
In Philippians 4:13 it says, “I can do all this through Him who gives me strength” and again in Romans 8:37 it says, “No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” These plus many others scriptures show to us that yes, we can do this through Christ! So let’s stop making excuses and change our minds to the glory of God. Be encouraged today!

Prayer Is For God’s Will To Be Done, Not Our Own

Prayer is for God’s will to be done, not our own. A lot of times as Christians, we fall into the trap of praying for our own desires and selfish motives. When Jesus was on the Earth, He gave us a clear blueprint for prayer.

In Matthew 6:9-13 The Bible says, “This, then, is how you should pray: “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.

If we choose to disobey God and His ways, we can’t expect that He will answer our prayers according to our own desires. However, the closer we draw to the Lord, the more our prayers will align with His purpose and plan. In Psalms 37:4 is says, “Take delight in the LORD, and He will give you your heart’s desires.” A lot of times we interpret this scripture as, “as long as we delight in the Lord, He will give us whatever we want”, but this verse actually shows that as we draw closer to God, as we come to know Him and His heart more and more, He will give us new desires. He will align our desires with His, so that when we pray, we will pray accordingly to His will. Be encouraged today, and remember to draw close to the Lord!

Abundance of ‘Things’ Does NOT = Favor

An abundance of things is not necessarily an indicator of the presence and favor of God. A lot of time we as Christians think that if an opportunity arises with a lot of ‘blessings’, that must mean God is in it. This could be true, but it could also not be the case. We have to discern between heavenly treasures and blessings vs. earthly treasures and blessing. Satan tempted Jesus in the wilderness with earthly blessing, but in the end that would mean worshiping Satan instead of God. Remember Abundance of ‘Things’ Does NOT = Favor

In your Christian walk, you will be tempted many times to go away from God’s plan to follow earthly treasures and riches. You may even convince yourself that this is the will of God for you because of all of the blessings. It must be God if I am being blessed right? It must be God if I am comfortable and have everything I want…right? Because of this, many people become easily deceived by riches, and don’t end up following the will of God for their lives at all.

Don’t do this! Following God’s unique will for your life will likely include wilderness seasons where it is difficult, and your faith is stretched. Likewise, following God’s unique will could also mean an outpouring of blessings and abundance in the promised land. Therefore, it will look different for each believer. The importance is to follow His Will for your life and not your own. However it looks, your obedience will be worth it in the end. Stay encouraged today!

God’s Grace Is NOT For Us To Stay In Sin

God’s grace and His abundant mercy is not for us to stay in sin.

I want you to get this folks… Jesus did not die an excruciating death on the cross so that we could stay in our sin. His great grace and His great mercy extends so far, but Why?
For you to overcome the lifestyle of sin.

We can’t slap “I’m a christian, I love Jesus” on our lifestyle of sin, and think we are going to go to heaven. We can’t live our life in our own will and way, being comfortable in our sin, and still think we are obeying God. Jesus said himself in John 14:15, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” If we love God, we will allow his grace to help us overcome sin.

We can’t do this in our own ability, but we can do it in HIS ability. We can do ALL THINGS through Christ who strengthens us. Remember this today, and be encouraged!

Don’t Take Yourself Out of the Wilderness…

Many Christians today love the messages about blessings from God, defeating the giants, and taking the Promised Land. But where were the Israelites before the promised land? They were in the wilderness. There is a season of wilderness that God wants to take us through to refine us and prepare us, and instead of running from it, we must surrender.

My wife Anna Elisabeth and I know this all too well. We had everything going for us, a successful ministry, stable finances, the house, the job, everything we could have wanted or needed. But things started to radically shift. Everything we had built starting crumbling before our very eyes. But instead of running, we decided to surrender to God’s wilderness process.

What we are realizing is how much we put our faith in those things, instead of God. This process has been the most difficult thing we have ever done, but we know the reward is the greatest. Don’t run away from your wilderness process. Surrender it ALL to Jesus. I promise you, He has a purpose. He wants to refine you, He wants to GROW you. Don’t take yourself out early, or you will miss the blessing of what the wilderness produces. Be encouraged today.

Having trouble reaching the next level? Try to stand on top of all your mistakes. It’ll make you taller. If we aren’t careful we can allow our mistakes to drown us, but if we can learn from our mistakes, we will be one step closer to our goals. Allow God to take you through the process of learning from your mistakes. It may be embarrassing at times, but each mistake and character fault is an opportunity for growth.

The enemy would love to keep you paralyzed in your mistakes with fear and condemnation. Don’t give into that voice, but instead pray and listen for the voice of God in the situation. God is more than willing to show you grace and correct you in the right direction. He will give you everything you need to get back up again, learn from your mistake, and move forward.

So the next time you make mistakes, try standing on top of them. It’ll make you taller!

It’s crazy to say that it is 2024 already and another year has gone by. Many of us are making our own personal New Years resolutions and goals we hope to achieve for the year. But will we actually take action on these?

Don’t wait forever to go after your dreams for 2024. Not everything is going to be perfect before you start to pursue your dreams. This includes finances, obligations, fears, and the list goes on. There are so many things we can look at and try to justify why it isn’t a good idea to pursue our dreams, but these excuses will only hold us back.

If you only pursue your dreams after all your ducks are in a row, you won’t pursue them at all. That’s just the hard truth. No condition is and will be perfect. You might not have the funds, or maybe it’s your own fears holding you back, but if you start to pursue your dreams and create a place for things to fall, it will create momentum. Before you know it, you will start to see your goals coming to pass before your eyes, and it will be an amazing thing to see. It may look messy but just start the process and you’ll improve as you go. Be okay with making mistakes and failing, this is how you learn and grow stronger.

So let’s have 2024 be the year that we go after our dreams. No more excuses! Happy New Year Everyone.
