Day 8 Reconciliation & Fasting

You Are Intended

Today’s Scripture: Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)

¹¹ For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Today’s Scripture Message

No one & nothing you go through determines who you are. No label is large enough to encompass the creation you are. You are purposely made and your life has meaning; an intent for greater things. I’ve said it before, “no one can tell you who you are & make you believe it.” Your sense of self is an asset you and only you hold the title to. You chose to rise above negativity, you chose to have faith, you chose to move forward when everything around you is trying to hold you back YOU CHOSE!!! Have faith in the guidance of the spirit according to His word. Meditate on it until it becomes part of your daily routine, not just hearing it or reading it, know it and have faith.

Thought for the Day:

“There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them.” Dennis Waitley

Goal for the Day:

Chart your path, Check for road blocks, Enjoy the ride

You Never Know How Life Will Turn Out

Fast From A Negative Attitude (Part 3)

I’d like us to spend one more day fasting from a negative attitude, and more specifically, let's fast from the thought that says, “You never know how life will turn out.” This mindset of uncertainty and helplessness must be eradicated from our lives.Let's CHANGE IT TODAY:

1. Your attitude is one thing over which you have total control.
   As we said yesterday, "attitude determines altitude"; therefore, we can determine how our life will turn out. So let's set our attitude high, positive, believing all things possible. (Mark 9:23)

2. The choice is YOURS!
   God has given us the power to choose how our life will turn out. In Deut. 30:15, 19, God said, “Now listen, TODAY I’m giving you the choice between life and death; between prosperity and adversity....Now CHOOSE life...” Live every day with knowledge that you hold your future in the choices you make

3. Happen to Life.
   Refuse to let life happen to you. Let's get rid of the ‘take life as it comes’ mindset. Remember Moses, when his rod turned into a serpent (Exodus 4:4), God said, “Reach out your hand, and take it by the tail.” Today, let's take life by the tail. Grab it. Speak to it. Be its boss!

4. Embrace the fact you have a destiny. Jeremiah 29:11 says, “...I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you...plans to give you the future you hope for.” Anything you can continue to hope for, God will deliver. HOPE BIG today!

5. Expect turnarounds. Don’t be defined by the current condition or past failures of your life. God is in the turnaround business. He turns the curse into a blessing (Deut. 23:5); mourning into gladness (Psalm 30:11); shadow of death into morning light (Amos 5:8). Expect it today!
6. THINK IT & SAY IT:
   I reject uncertainty and helplessness. I have control over my life by the choices I make. I choose life and blessing today, and God is backing me up. I happen to life and take it by the tail. I hope big today, and believe God plans to give me the life I’ve always hoped for. No matter how it looks, I believe in the God of turnarounds, and expect them today, in Jesus’ Name!

The creativity is in the creation of LIFE…being humble inside is not always an easy task...the situation that we have been deemed might seem intimidating...but standing still on dignity is something extreme…remember that trouble don’t last always …what we have encountered as lately is a test of our true faith...realize ...that you are stronger than you think inside...it’s the word that has kept you on task. Think about it.
