I tell ya guys that if we would only consider what it is that we’re thinking about in those minds of ours..because honestly we will either win or we will lose there..for some of us dwell on failure and defeat..we dwell on the fact of who were to who we use to be..to the fact of who did what and who said what..that we speak them things out from our mouths as if it were just now that those things had happened..never to stop and consider that what we’re speaking we as well are hearing..right?..for you see the word says that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God..Romans 10:17..for what we speak to ourselves that as well is what we listen too..Amen…for that ole devil doesn’t have to fight too hard for us to live our lives in the past or in the defeat thereof and all that happened to us years and years ago..for we do a pretty good job at that ourselves..so I would say to us all that if we begin to speak of yesterday or them yesteryears..I will as well say to us all that we had better be prepared to live there..Amen..for you will and I will take ourselves right back to that moment in time..and whether them things were good things or bad things we will live that out all of over again..those feelings and all of them emotions..for guys the word says over in the book of Proverbs that as a man thinks so is he..Proverbs 23:7..and isn’t that the truth of all truths..for I say all the time that we are our own worst enemy..we hurt ourselves all by our own thinking..for the Lord tells us to not be transformed by the ways of this world..but for us to renew our minds that we may prove what is that good, acceptable and perfect will of God..Romans 12:2..for you see God has taken all those things, those hurts, pains, everything that we’ve been through and He has turned them all around for our good..Romans 8:28..and as well He alone has cast them far away from us never to be brought up again..so we should not give room to that ole enemy of our souls..we should not give him not one ounce of anything that concerns us and our lives..for when we speak of all that happened way back when or even yesterday were not actually living in our today..so let us let go of the hurts the pains..the ridicule just literally all of it..and let us make the most of this day and all that the Lord our God has given and blessed us with..for we are blessed and we all are highly favored of God..so let us walk in the light of the Lord and live there as well in His marvelous light..for in doing so we will live a bright and beautiful life..for we are more than what has happened to us..we are more than yesterday..and we have so much more out in front of us than anything that has been left behind us..so let us rise from them askes of dispare..for God promises beauty for our ashes..Isaiah 61:1-3..He gives us strength in our weakness..2 Corinthians 12:9..He gives us love for the hurt and all the pain..for God is and always will be the mender the healer, the mighty deliver..for He will always be our everything..for He is our everything that we will ever need or ever so desire in all of this life..so let us live, laugh and love..and when we do so we are honoring and glorifying our Father in whom is in heaven..for God has freed us from every weight and every sin..so let us lay them down..all of them things that which does so easily beset us and let us run with patience the race that the Lord has placed out there in front of us always looking unto Jesus in whom is the Author and the finisher of our faith..Hebrews 12:1..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
