Proverbs 23: 7
For as He thinks in his Heart so is He.
Summary:
Sometimes we look for real deep deep revelations from the Word of God. But in some cases the Word is what it is! If you think you can go to college and get a Masters degree you can go to college and get a Master’s Degree. If you think because every woman in your family has always been on welfare that you will be on welfare too, then you will be on welfare too. On the flipside if you know everyone in your family has always been poor but you decide you are not going to be poor then you won’t be poor. The Word of God is so powerful! God clearly tells us however you think yourself to be that is how you will be. For years a friend of mine constantly said she could never learn how to operate a computer. She refused to take any classes or read a book or anything pertaining to computers. Then she saw me go to school for computers and get my degree! Then she saw me leave my cashier job to get a high profile job in an office in downtown Chicago!
All of a sudden her mentality changed! She said if you can go to school and get a good job so can I! She went to school in the evenings learned how to work the computer and left her cashiering job a little later for a office job also. All it took was her seeing someone else do it and then she realized that her thinking was the only thing holding her back. What is holding you back? What is it that you feel you cannot do? Just because you come from the ghetto does not mean you can’t end up living in a mansion someday. Just because you don’t know how to drive now does not mean you can’t learn how to drive it is never too late!
For years I took the bus everywhere, I got tired of lugging groceries on the bus. I got tired of having to ask my brother to come take me here and there. Then the Word of God came and lit a fire under me. Joyce Meyer was preaching and she just stopped in the middle of her sermon and said “God is saying to some of you, you need to get your drivers license and stop worrying other people to take you around!”. Well that was it for me I decided that I was going to get my license! The only thing that had been holding me back in the first place was my thinking. I thought that the people in my city drive too crazy.
I thought that I might have an accident because people I knew had had accidents. The spirit of Fear truly had me bound when it came to driving. I was in the process of studying for my license when my grandmother passed away suddenly. God knew what the devil was up to and he told me “keep studying and get your license your grandmother would want you to get your license”. Being me I did things in an different way I got my car first for a good price. And each day when I left out to take the bus I would look at that car and say only a little longer and I’ll be driving you!
About a month after I purchased my car I got my license! I was so happy and elated! My only regret was that I didn’t do it sooner and that my grandmother wasn’t there to see it. I could have been driving but because I thought I couldn’t it didn’t happen. It took a swift kick from God to make me get with the program. What is God going to have to do to make you get with the program?
“All the Angels in Heaven come to help the child of God that pleads the Blood of Jesus and honors the Blood of Jesus.”
