God has got a wonderful life planned for every single one of you
Every single one of you God has got a wonderful life planned for you. You do not have to sit in the audience of life
And watch other people have a good life
And think it's only for them and not for you
God has got a good life for you and it is never too late to begin again
It is never too late for a fresh start
You
can begin again
And you never know on any given day when you get up exactly what God may lead you to do
That day I have opportunity every morning
To get in the trash can with the devil
Or to remember who I am in christ
And to think about things that are going to minister life to me not things that are going to minister death to me
What if you took a couple of minutes every morning before you leave the house and say what God says about you
Make this declaration of faith. I am blessed. I am prosperous
I am redeemed forgiven
talented
creative
disciplined focused
confident secure prepared
qualified
motivated valuable
free
determined equipped
empowered
Anointed accepted and approved not average not mediocre
I am a child of the most high God when you wake up
When you wake up
Before you read anything else before you look at your phone, you read a portion of scripture before you get out of bed
That's making his word
the first word
You're going to be amazed at how much this simple habit will strengthen your life
You're going to find your patience going up
You're going to find your
Anxiety going down
It's going to make major changes in your attitude. It will strengthen your life
And it will bring the blessing of God in your life. When you get up in the morning
You ought to open the word of God. Oh, well, I don't necessarily need that. Yes you do
And unless we're anchored in the word of God what's going to happen is we're going to find ourselves giving in
and so
What's the anchor
Or what anchors you
When a storm hits you what anchors you or you just drift along with it
The word of God is our anchor
You wake up in the morning and you read what you need
Where are you struggling
Don't don't make it a religious thing. Just make it a real. Are you are you discouraged
Are you dealing with fear read what you need when I wake up in the morning
I have a bible reading program that I read through the bible in a year
But many times if I'm struggling in a particular area I'll go to that particular scripture
Or that text that says what I need
And I read what I need and then what you do is that you just bring it up load your mind with a scripture
When the devil attacks your mind
You have a scripture loaded in your spirit
For whatever it is that he's attacking you with
And when the devil attacked Jesus Jesus said it is written
Jesus had scripture loaded in his spirit the devil attacked him and he said
Get behind me satan for it is written
And that's what you need to say to him the next time he attacks you
Wake up and speak God's word
every morning
Just for four or five minutes wake up and speak God's word and just see what happens
I know some of you are skeptical you don't think there's much to this. It feels perhaps to you like
Self-empowerment or self-reinforcement. That's not what this is I'm not saying speak your words I'm saying speak God's word over your life
Speak God's life and light over your life and your relationships over your attitudes
Over your decisions
God says his words are are like
His word is like seeds that get planted and bear fruit and that they always bear fruit his words always bare fruit
They never return void. They never come back empty whenever you plant the seed of God's word
It's going to bear fruit
And and so that's what we want to do
We just want to start planting some seeds and for some of you you're going to plant some of the seeds in God's word
And the fruit's not going to come right away and you're going to feel like it's not really making any kind of difference or impact
I'm saying just try it
Just just try this for a little while. Speak God's word into your life plant some of these seeds
See what happens
The enemy will will try to start your day off telling you that your sins
Uh have condemned you that there's no coming back that you're a prisoner of your past
and so
For some of you you need to start your day off and you need to just speak this truth over your life
I am not condemned by my sin today
I have been set free by God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ
The bible says in romans 8:1 there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. I'm not condemned
I'm not a prisoner. I'm not going to live like it today
The truth of God's word is that I'm set free, so I'm going to live like a free man
And the enemy will try to to wake you up and speak
words of hurt
The enemy wants you to have a hard heart and bitterness towards others. And so he'll remind you of pain that was caused to you
And hopes that you will bring that pain into this next day
And so for some of you you have to tell yourself this I tell myself this sometimes I have plenty of grace to give today
Because I have received
God's grace because I've received God's grace. I've got grace
You need some grace. I got grace to give you I've got so much grace from God
I have it in abundance to give to anyone who needs it today because there's something within me that is
Wanting to speak a different word often times the words I'm telling myself is I don't got anything left
I'm empty. I feel frustrated. I don't have much patience left
That's not true the truth is I am a child of God who has been filled with the grace of God
And I've got it to give
And so you speak this truth
Into your life. It's not wishful thinking it's not self-empowerment
It is you speaking God's truth
into
into the darkness
The enemy might try to tell you that you don't have a purpose that you're wasting your life
At your job or your school, you don't have anything
Special to offer and so you tell yourself at the beginning of the day I'm going to make a difference today
Because I know that today God has already prepared in advance for me the work he has for me according to Ephesians 2
I'm going to claim that on my way into to work or or when you're going to school
The enemy will constantly be putting words in front of you that will cause you to feel stressed and worried about what's happening
In the world or what might happen wants you to live in fear, but we we speak God's truth when we say today
I'm not anxious I'm not worried. I'm not weighed down
That is not who I am. I have cast my burdens on the lord and he cares for me First Peter 5:7
We say from Second Timothy 1:7 today I'm not afraid I'm not weak. I don't have the spirit of fear
I have a spirit of power and of love and of self-discipline
I'm not afraid I have the spirit of God's power in me. That's that's who I am because of Jesus
If we think about problems and sad things and negative things
It adversely affects the release of our joy, but I'll tell you something that does release joy and that's hope
Hope is such a powerful word
No, hope is an aggressive expectation that something good is about to happen to me at any moment
Hope is about your expectations. So let me ask you. What are you expecting?
From life. What are you
expecting
today
Psalm 119:147 I rise early
To cry out for help
And to put my hope in your words
He says I start every morning
Talking to you I cry out in prayer and listening to you I read your word
And he says I look for the hope in your word
If you feel pretty hopeless about your situation, you're not spending enough time in the promises of God
Because they're there he says I start my day with hope are you starting your day with hope or with despair?
Get into agreement with God and you will see amazing things happen in your life
I do not have one day of my life that goes by that I don't confess the word of God out loud
Every day of my life
I mean every day I still say I am the righteousness of God through Christ
I am a new creature in Christ. Old things have passed away and all things become brand new
All through the day I am well able
I will overcome this obstacle. I will defeat this sickness. I will rise out of lack and struggle
When you think like that the creator of the universe goes to work
Miracles are set into motion
There is no victory in life without a fight
There is no
sunrise without a night
There is no purchase without a cross
And there is no crown without a cost
Your life embraces faith and you wallow if you wallow in doubt
You will never celebrate victory
Satan attacks every person that God is getting ready to promote when God gets ready to promote you
No one can keep you down. Keep your head up. Keep your eyes focused
Turn it on the cross focus on the word
Take this put it in your mouth speak it and believe it and you will achieve the impossible dream. Stop saying I can't
Get it out of your mouth get it out of your mind
There's nothing you cannot do if you and God are doing a righteous thing the
impossible can be done. It can be done. It can be done. Stop saying if
Say I will by God's grace
Stop saying it's impossible. Nothing is impossible to those that believe
Nothing
Stop saying I don't know the right people, you know God the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit those people have lots of power
Don't look at how big the problem is. Look at how big your God is. He parted red seas
He closed the mouths of lions. He brought the dead back to life. That obstacle is no match for him
He didn't bring you this far to leave you when you believe
All things are possible get your thoughts going in the right direction
The scripture says thanks be to God who always causes us to triumph
Not some of the time not most of the time but all of the time
It may be tough now, but keep the right perspective
Victory is in your future healing is in your future
Abundance breakthroughs freedom is coming your way
Yes, the giants may be big but our God is bigger
Nothing in the world can take the place
of divine persistence
Talent will not nothing in the world is more common than unsuccessful men with talent
Persistence and determination
alone
Will reach the goal
Life is like a wheel barrel you get nowhere until you start pushing press on
Press on press on you fall down get up. Try again
You fail forget the failure failure is a great teacher wash it off and keep moving until you reach the objective
Adversity exposes your thought life toward God adversity comes to all men
The brightest crowns that are worn in Heaven
Have been polished and glorified through the furnace of tribulation and adversity
Gold is tried in fire and the righteous are tried in the furnace of adversity
Adversity does not make a man either weak or strong but it reveals what you are
Proverbs 24:10 if you faint in the day of adversity your strength is small
Second Corinthians 12:9 my strength is made perfect in weakness
Why because you're not doing it in your strength, you're doing it in his
You're not fighting this battle on your own. You have the most powerful force in the universe fighting for you
He's pushing back forces of darkness keeping that sickness from taking you out moving the wrong people out of the way
Negative thinking is contagious
All around us. There's negative news how bad the sickness is how bad the economy is
Analysts telling us what could happen
If you keep dwelling on that, then you're going to end up afraid worried panicked thinking you're not going to make it
When you think like that, it's a negative cycle that keeps drawing in more fear more worry more defeat
Do not fear anything except the Lord God Almighty
If you fear him, you need fear nothing else. He will keep you safe
I wonder how many times we're telling ourselves what we can't do
When the truth is you have already been equipped to handle it
You have strength for all things when God created you he put in you everything you need to fulfill your destiny
Now quit telling yourself what you can't do and how it's not going to work out
The way to get in tune with God is to think what he says about you not what you feel
Not what the experts say. Not what the economy says, but what the most high God has spoken over you
Learn to enjoy your life
Not the one that somebody else has got that you want see our whole job here in the earth is to glorify God
It's not to get ahead and be the president of the company and you know be world famous and it's just to
Glorify God
and to enjoy
God, don't just serve God. Enjoy God enjoy being God's child
Enjoy the little corner of life that he has given you so what if your house is not as big as somebody else's
Or you can't buy as expensive a clothes as somebody else's or you weigh 10 pounds more than somebody else does
Those are not the things that our joy should be tied up in
You plant your seeds of faith
And you believe that God is working
And while you're waiting you enjoy
the life that you have
We have to get over this thinking I'll enjoy life when I'll be glad when
Not when now
