I think a lot of times we ourselves stop ourselves from going in further in our lives all because we are at times our own worst critic…we sometimes can be very hard on ourselves and on our self image of how we portary just who we are…because our minds are a very complex thing…we store everything in that mind of ours…I believe that’s why with everything in me that the Lord tells us to not be transformed by the ways of this world but be ye transformed by the renewing of our minds, that we may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God..Romans 12:2…for you see as a man thinks so is he…Proverbs 23:7..if we think we are whatever it is that we’re thinking that we are…if that makes sense…then that is exactly who we will be…people whom seem to go far in their lives, If you have recongnized as I have recongnized are not negative poeple…these people are encouraging, uplifting, and positive people..they work hard daily to reach and acheive their goals in life, whatever it is that they may be….we can’t speak against ourselves and all the while expect to live a life in which we’re hoping to live and acheive…we have to speak positive faith filled words guys…for you see as well the word of the Lord says unto each of us, that death and life are in the power of our tongues…and they that love it will eat the fruit thereof..Proverbs 18:21..so we can’t speak against us…and all the while expect to move forward…as I said flesh gets in the way and flesh will cause us to get lazy…and flesh is and has to be yielded and yielded over to God and His ways…for if we walk in the spirit the word says that we won’t mind the things of the flesh..Galatians 5:16…everyone always wants what someone else has…but they don’t want to put forth the effort that others has to make that happen…for you see guys, Our Lord is not a repsector of persons..Romans 2:11..He blesses and equips us all to do whatever it is that we ourselves are willing to do…for none of us are made to do anything..we all have free will daily to choose to do whatever it is that we want…but just know that to be and to excel in your walk and in your journey with God it is gonna take determination on your part and guys that goes with everything in all of our lives…for you see we are all the same…maybe doing different things in life, but either way we all face the same kind of sitautions and circumstances in life…but determination and persistance is what makes the difference…the fact of not always using excuses…but rather choosing to find a way makes the difference…so understand that daily we do them things that were hoping to acheive for our tomorrows…no sometimes life isn’t always easy…but also know that life isn’t easy for anyone..its just the fact of knowing who you are in the Lord and knowing that God is for you and that God loves you…Romans 8:31/John 3:16…for the Lord didn’t ever promise that the cross would not get heavy, or the hill would not be hard to climb, and He never offered our Victories without fighting but He said help would always come in time, so just remember when your standing in the valley of decisons and the adversary says give in…just hold on, cause our Lord will show up and He will take you and I through the fire again…In Jesus’ name I do ask and pray!…Amen and Amen!! Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
