Fearlessly Courageous

SPEAK OUT, about the dreams you hold in your heart.
No matter the circumstances!
God has plans to Bless You in and through every situation!
Did you know that nobody has a bigger plan for you than God? Each of us is a light- A beacon –
we are called to be salt and light to a dying world.
Ephesians 6: 10-12 says, Be strong with the Lord’s mighty power. Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all the strategies and tricks of the devil. We are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood but against the evil words and authorities of the unseen world.
Too often because of defeats and trying times, we tend to memorize the words of failure.
But God only speaks words of success over us. He said the battlefield is in the mind.
2 Corinthians 4:4 “Satan, the God of this evil world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe so they are unable to see the glorious light of the good news that is shining upon them”.
Jesus is saying that when we let his light come in, HE WILL change the circumstances of our lives.
2nd Corinthians 10:1 “For God, who said, let there be light in the darkness, He has made us understand that this light, Is the brightness of the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ.
Our heavenly father is so interested in our success that he lays out the battleground. He tells us what weapons we need and the ones that are not real. Because his interest is in us breaking free.
2nd Corinthians 4:6 “The weapons we fight are not the weapons of the world, on the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. (Which is our way of thinking). We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make them obedient to Christ”.
We can never allow the enemy to program us for fear and failure
because of what we see and because of what we hear.
He tells us that the transformation will come as we marinate in God’s scriptures, and personalize them to ourselves. That’s what happens when we SPEAK to the mountains that stand in the way!
John 8:12 “and Jesus spoke, he said, I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.
And John 12:36 “Put your trust in the light, so that you may become sons of light”
Acts 13:47 “I have made you a light, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth”.
Romans 13:12 “So let us put on the armor of light”
Matthew 5:16 “In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven”.
There is no caveat about not feeling like the light. Or Not feeling like a winner or a mighty warrior! His words are without repentance just because you’re walking through the valley of the shadows. God has called us to have a personal relationship with him. And he guides us with his Holy Spirit by the power of his holy word. I was taught early on in my life to personalize the Scriptures to myself and for those that I pray for.
I was taught to analyze the Scriptures and be intentional about responding in God’s way and not reacting to situations that arise around me or from within me. I keep learning that year after year.
I WILL stop to glorify God and in doing so, will see the light at the end of the tunnel and be encouraged with the hope of his undying promises. So I can dream bigger than I could dream on my own. To visualize what tomorrow could look like WHEN I trust, NOT IF I TRUST, in the guidance of the Holy Spirit and Almighty God. WHEN!
And lastly, I was taught to vocalize… In the car… In the shower… When I was alone… Walking here and there. Speaking out who God is to me. NEVER be ashamed of sharing your faith or offering to pray for someone. NEVER be discouraged about calling out to God His promises,
even as you sit in the pool of your own blood.
Especially, when you are so down and out you can’t see up…Just SEE JESUS!
Lord, I am significant because you said so. I Am a priest because you have called me.
I make a difference because you are my guiding light. I put on the full armor of God today so I will be ready to be your light because that is what you commanded me to do.
I WILL OBEY AND SPEAK OUT!
THAT BEGINS BY SPEAKING TO MY OWN CIRCUMSTANCES!
THY WILL BE DONE!
