To God be the Glory

You will always have control over what you say or do. You will always be in charge of your reactions and feelings. Only you decide the outcome of your situations.

  • You do not control what another person says or does.
  • You are not responsible for another persons reactions.
  • You are only responsible for what you say, do or think.
  • You are only responsible for you.

You have a choice. Your personal rival can defeat you on their terms or you can fight them on yours. Ultimately, you can rise above the situation and fight with the Holy Spirit on your side. When you handle situations in your own strength, it only brings discouragement, depression, and defeat. Listening to your rival can take you out of your calling and pull you out of your destiny. But, there is good news, in that you ultimately can decide how their words and actions will affect you. Will they best you or bring out the best in you.

You are filled with the Holy Spirit! He is your greatest Ali. That same Spirit, who rose Jesus from the grave, lives in you! Your rival wants you to fight them on their terms with their weapons. We have a better weapon, The Holy Spirit! We can rise above our enemy and fight with truth and love. You must remember to respond to what you can control, rather than what you can’t. Let the Holy Spirit show you how to react in these difficult situations. He will stand with you at all times.

You are a child of the Most High God! Rise above your situations and fight with the Holy Spirit. Develop the Fruit of His Spirit. Love, joy, peace, longsuffering, goodness, kindness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self control. Remember He is for you and not against you. He knew you before you were created and He numbered all your days. Trust in Him, pray, and allow Him to guide you.

Fight evil, stand with God.

Jeremiah 29:11-14 “for I know the thoughts that I think towards you says the Lord. thoughts of peace and not evil to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to me, and I will listen to you and you will seek Me and find Me. When you search for me with your heart. I will br found by you says the Lord and I will bring you back from your captivity.”

Fierceley Loved

You are loved and highly favored by God.

So many times we feel our self worth comes from what other people think of us. Especially the most important people in our lives. As children we look to our parents. As adults we look to our spouse, our bosses, a mentor, or even a good friend. Most of us are looking to people for approval and affirmation. What usually happens is that we get let down and end up disappointed. They say things that can bring us heart ache and pain.

The key to knowing and having a sense of self worth comes from trusting in our Heavenly Father. The bible tells us that we are His master piece, the work of His hands. We are individuals, a one of a kind creation. There is no one else like you. That is how He wants us to see ourselves. We are fiercely loved. There is nothing passive about the way our Heavenly Father sees us! His love is not just words, but life. His love is far more than an expression of love. Your Heavenly Father does not have to love us, He is love for us!! We are immersed in His love.

Once we have been touched by our Heavenly Father we will never be the same. His love for us is an all consuming fire and indivisible. Every day of our lives has been recorded, every moment laid out before any day has passed.

Ephesians 2:10 ” We are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus. So we can do the good things He planned for us long ago.”
