I Am

I am a conqueror!

I am an over comer!

I am forgiven!

I am a winner! 

I've been a victim of my own negative thoughts, fears and paranoia. I let the way I felt and my perception of the world dictate the thoughts and words I chose to speak over my life. I could and would easily replace those affirmations with things like:

I am weak. 

I am a victim.

God won't forgive me. 

I am a loser. 

But you know, I refuse! I refuse to be a slave to negative feelings and emotions. I refuse to live and think with a victim mentality. I will no longer with my thoughts and words, bash and stigmatize my life. I have made a vow to myself and it's SPEAK LIFE and equally so THINK LIFE. 

Proverbs 18:21 tells us: Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. 

What we think, speak and the way we live will bear fruit in our lives that we will one day eat. So be careful what you plant. If all that's planted is negativity, painful memories, and questionable actions, that is what we will certainly choke on. 

I urge you to make a conscious choice to speak and think life. I actually think it's crucial that we start with our thoughts. Before we even give breath to our words, we ponder and harbor our thoughts. Let's try to stop them, correct and replace them with psalms, affirmations and positive thoughts. Before you know it your words will follow. Then, the fruit you eat will be sweet and pleasant to your taste. 

Think, speak and live life and you will certainly have it in abundance. 

Dear Lord, 

When negative thoughts creep into my mind, please replace those thoughts and my words, with your word for my life. Show me who I am in you. Give me the power to think, speak, and live life in abundance as you intended. 

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen.

A Godly Partner: His Soul

Be Ye Transformed

If you're anything like me you've made plenty of mistakes, done some things you've regretted, and sinned and fallen short...that is if you'll admit it to yourself. Don't worry I won't tell. 

The Bible tells us that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23)

Some of the greatest things about God is his forgiveness, and that His provision and will for us is greater than any mistake we've made...and will make. Most of all His love covers us and He cares for us. 

Romans 12:2 tells us: 

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. KJV

I encourage you to be ye transformed and be set apart. 

The world will certainly try to tell us who we are with labels and lies. But don't be discouraged. Allow God to change your mindset and shift your life. 

I am practicing this very thing now. It is a daily commitment. Now, I've always been a believer...yet, my faith was tested in a major way a few months ago. I now relate heavily to the line: If it had not been for the Lord where would I be?! 

Where would we be if we stop depending on our Father for guidance? Certainly lost. 

Dear God, 

I thank you for finding me and meeting me where I was and restoring my faith. I thank you for deliverance and the transformation of my mind. I am surrendering to your will for my life.

In Jesus name I pray, 

Amen.
