Hello Friends,
Happy Spring! Today is the first day of Spring thank God!
Who is ready for warmer weather?
Who is ready for Spring?
Now what I want to talk to you about today is this Bible verse..."For when I am weak then I am strong."
We are what we think.
And 80% of your success is mindset.
And when in conversations it comes up that the person failed at this and failed at that and they assumed that as their identity it breaks my heart. Because...
Failure is never an identity it is an event.
When you go to do some thing some event and you fail ok you failed at that...but that does not define you as a failure.
When you try again and you fail you just did not achieve the results that you wanted at that particular point in time.
That does not make you a failure.
We go back at it until we figure it out.
And if we don't quit no matter how long it takes no matter how many times when we keep going after it with the intention that we are going to achieve this we will.
Don't remind yourself of how many times you fail remind yourself that you have never given up and that you will not give up.
Because the only difference between you and the people that are successful is that they failed more times that you.
So think of it like this...the more I fail the closer I get to reaching my goals.
We have all these negative thoughts and they tell our brain a story,
and all of outside circumstances tell our brain a story,
and we get to choose how we interpret these thoughts and these feelings.
Hard times will come,
Challenging times will come,
Negative and self doubt will come.
And we don't have control over those things
but we do have control over how we interpret them,
We can listen to all the negative thoughts or we can remember what God's word says.
We get to choose.
Many of the things that we experience in this life good or bad start in the mind.
Our thoughts lead us to the life we will live.
Empowering thoughts lead to empowering living And unfortunately thoughts of failure lead to failure as well.
I want to challenge you today to get out your Bibles don't take my word for it read it for yourself:
In 2 Corinthians chapter 12 verse 10 says:
"Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak then I am strong."
Let that really sink in...
"For when I am weak then I am strong."
So your life is a CHOICE God gives you the opportunity to CHOOSE.
Negative thoughts come to us all.
It doesn't matter how good of a person you are or how much faith you have the key is what scripture teaches us.
One of my favorite go to scriptures is 2 Timothy 1 and 7
"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of Power and of LOVE and of a Sound mind."
2 Corinthians 10:5
"Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;"
Romans 12:2
"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
Ephesians 4:23
"And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;"
That means if you meditate on anxious bitter hopeless thoughts you're going to set your life in that direction.
But if you choose to think hope-filled God Honoring confident thoughts you will be amazed at what will happen.
And if we identify destructive thoughts to avoid and focus on promise filled truths from scripture truths that remind you of who you are in Christ and the exceeding abundant good plan that God has for you we can turn "I'm not going to have enough" into "God will provide everything I need."
Turn "I'm scared I will fail into...Because God is with me I have nothing to fear."
Turn "I am never going to be successful into "God is going to make my dreams come true."
Living a life of prayers answered
new seasons of joy new opportunities and greater favor is a life that not only starts with "God thoughts" but it's also one that is preserved and protected by God's promises.
Breakthrough upon Breakthrough is what God has for us as His children.
Remember we are what we think and I really believe that God's word has the power to transform your thinking and your life.
And Remember..."For when I am weak then I am strong."
So Have Hope that is it POSSIBLE
have faith that it is NECESSARY
and get faithing - taking action with faith.
Nothing Changes If Nothing Changes!!
Life is Now!
Be blessed!!
