Are you thinking about what you are thinking about? Do you believe you are who God says you are? Do you believe that God is holding out on you?
The thought of the day on my Joel Osteen calendar is so good....I have to share it. I think we as Christians can get so caught up in the world's way of thinking. We think very poorly about ourselves and dont have faith in God. After I read this thought from Joel....I was again reminded of Who God is....what I am....and what God has for me. It's time to get out of the boat again people and stand on God's promises. No....everything wont be perfect....and no we will have issues to deal with.....but the battle happens in the mind....and we need to be ready with the Words to say to the mountains that show up. Remember, God even said we can speak to the mountains....remember? He said all we have to say is MOVE. And it will. Speak out words of life over your lives my friends. Quit forsaking your first Love. God is who He says he is, God can do what he says he can do, I am who God says I am, I can do all things through Christ and God's Word is alive and active. I am believing that....today. And I will have to believe it again tomorrow....and SPEAK IT OUT!
When we go through life with a poverty mentality, it is not glorifying to God. No, God is pleased when we develop a prosperous mind-set. Too often we become satisfied and complacent, accepting whatever comes our way. Your "lot in life" is to continually increase. Your lot in life is to be an overcomer, to live prosperously in every area. God created you for great things.

Prosperity is a funny thing...Joseph had it but I wonder if he recognized it while he was in the pit? Or in jail? He had the favor of God on him the whole time. How many times do I find myself in situations like that, feeling God forsaken, when all the while He's got a plan, even if I can't see it. I think just lose sight sometimes of whose child I am and all that means.
I was reading Matthew 7 a couple of nights ago and I keep going back to verse 14 because it is just speaking to me where I'm at today. "The way to life—to God!—is vigorous and requires total attention." (The Message). Vigorous is an understatement. But how true...God please help us all keep our focus (and dependence) totally on You!
