There are many instances where we want to do great things with our life, but we listen to the pessimistic voice in our head telling us why something can't be done and instead of pushing those thoughts aside and being determined, we give in to them and quit even before we have begun. What we must remember is that we can be overcomers in life no matter how strong the urge is to want to give up and not believe in ourselves. When we gird ourselves up as the Bible says and dig our heels in with unmoved determination, it is then that positive results will come our way. We cannot allow our negative or pessimistic point of view to keep us stagnant in life. We are meant for greatness. The Lord didn't create us to barely get by or only enjoy life a little bit. He created us with big plans in mind and as proof, He gave us dominion over all that He has created. (1 Peter 1:13-19) (Genesis 1:26-28)
The Lord wishes for us to stand in our authority and has already given us the required tools to be successful, but it is up to us to take hold of that authority and move towards victory in confidence. There is nothing new that God needs to do. All that's required has already been fulfilled. It is now simply up to us to believe God to be successful and victorious in every area that we are now lacking. Be encouraged to break the strongholds over your life and believe in yourself again just as God believes in you. He sees you as a Victor and not a victim. The question is, How do you see yourself? (Luke 9:1) (Luke 10:19) (Jeremiah 1:4-9) (Revelation 12:10-11)
Be inspired and challenge your heart to go forth in life dreaming a bigger dream than you've ever dreamed before and then believe that it is within you to take hold of that dream.
We need liberation from enslaving beliefs and attitudes.
Almost everybody walks around with a vast burden of imaginary limitations inside his head, says J. H. Brennan. While the burden remains, personal success is as difficult to achieve as the conquest of Everest with a sack of rocks tied to your back.
What burden of limiting beliefs and attitudes are you walking around with?
Do you ever say, I can't do that or I can't change this or that? Do you ever think that you'll never be able to pursue your passion or achieve a cherished dream? Do you believe that other people can experience the good things of life, or simply be happy, but not you? These patterns of thinking are as much of a burden as a sack of rocks tied to your back.
Listen to these words from Darwin P. Kingsley: You have powers you never dreamed of. You can do things you never thought you could do. There are no limitations in what you can do except the limitations of your own mind.
Okay, certain limitations are a part of life. You may be more able to see those that are physical. After all, stinkin' thinkin' can be easily hidden. But, as Kingsley says, when you get rid of limiting attitudes and beliefs, those rocks tied to your back, you'll discover powers you never dreamed of. You'll do things you never thought you could do! And you'll be truly free.
Besides an unhealthy mental outlook, what have you got to lose?
Romans 8:31-32~What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
Jeremiah 29:11-13~For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon Me, and ye shall go and pray unto Me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye shall search for Me with all your heart.
Philippians 3:13-14~Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
You number my wanderings, put my tears into Your bottle, are they not in Your book? (Psalm 56:8)
