THE DEVASTATION IS JUST WHAT GOD NEEDS TO SHOW UP

 

Good morning, wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. I hope this blog meets you well. Today is a beautiful day and I am very excited to be blogging. Hope you all had a great weekend.

Are you currently going through a devastating life change? Do you feel like it's over for you? Is it so painful that you can't bring yourself to believe things can change? Well, I have good news for you. IT CAN CHANGE!

See, the reason you feel depressed and hopeless is because you did all you could but it obviously didn't work. Now let me introduce you to the God in you, who is always for you. As long as you keep trying to manipulate situations on your own, you will continue to re-create the same old pain. I know this from experience. I was struggling for years and didn't know what else to do. I prayed, fasted and studied the Word but nothing seemed to change until I did something different.

Here's what I did, I stopped trying too hard and praying too hard. I just started giving thanks and expressing my pain to God, declaring that God can handle it and even at the moment was in control. Then I took it a step further, I began to declare that I am a child of God and I deserve to be happy, joyful and free. The more I did that, the more the enemy was upset but that was not my concern. I just continued to focus on the blessing and power of God. Guess what? Everything changed for me. Things didn't change for me before I changed. I noticed that as I changed my perspective, everything around me couldn't help but also change to match my new perspective.

What if instead of focusing on the disappointment, you focus on the blessings you already have? 

What if instead of trying to get back at those who broke you, you focus on the strength that you already have?

What if instead of talking about the problems, you focus on God's Omniscience? 

We have made a religion out of worry and fear. We somehow have deluded ourselves to believe that we can change our lives by focusing on the pain and things that broke us but that's the very reason we are suffering. You energize and empower whatever you focus on.

Here's a better "what if": What if we focused on solution, instead of the problems? What if we get excited about the blessing we are about to see, instead of the pain staring us in the face?

In my life, I have seen God show up for me over and over again because I FOCUSED ON GOD! God is always the ANSWER to whatever you may be going through. I dare you to try God and you will see mountains become mole hills and valleys become mountains and seas dry up and problems become promotions.

Don't let anyone steal your joy!
