Are you experiencing a delay?

Many years ago their use to be a option with certain stores where you could put something on lay away, and make payments on it for a certain time until you paid it off. I remember doing it myself, you couldn't have the thing until you paid it off. It was a nice feeling when you went with that last payment and picked up your new outfit that you were dreaming about. You were diligent about making those payment, making sure that that outfit was going to be yours soon. There was a delay for a certain time, because you needed to PAY IN FULL, before you picked it up!

I used that metaphor to show that as Born again believers of God, we don't need to operate that way for all His promises! We don't need to put things on lay away with God, because He already PAID FOR IT, IN FULL, AT THE CROSS! 

God is not in the business of not showing up, if their is a delay its to get you through the traffic so you can enjoy the manifestation of it! Sometimes the delay is to get you more understanding, more insight into His word. If it came to soon Satan would steal if from you. Isaiah 40:31-But those who wait for the Lord , who expect, look for, and hope in Him, shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up ,( close to God) as eagles ( mount up to the sun) ; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired.

You may not have everything you have been asking the Lord for right now. It may not of manifested in the natural, but you do have what you need, other wise you wouldn't be here right now. Believe that verse their and trust Him.Guard your heart, don't answer the door to unbelief and doubt. Learn to answer the door with the word of God. The thief wants to break in and steal from you, If you handle it properly by trusting and waiting on the Lord you are headed for double!

God is not cheap and God is not broke, so don't settle for lay away's ! Believe for all the promises, and that they are PAID IN FULL! So whatever your desire is believe God has the best for you, seek Him with all your heart and praise Him in all things! When your connected with your heart and mouth to God, waiting on Him wont seem long and boring, Psalm 19; May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my hear be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.

This gospel of hope we have is in us as believers, hold to that hope because your faith needs something to to work with. Faith and hope go together, faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen. Your faith will take you in the future and get what you need in the present and bring it there. Faith is going to hold you there until it arrives! Faith is advanced knowledge! 

Seek Him with all your heart! Its your meditation on Him and His word, with all your heart, mind and your confession to declare it will come, then the delay won't matter!

He loves you!

Take back your thought life!

That may sound like a strange title to my blog, but believe it or not many Christians struggle with wrong thoughts. Your Soul consists of your emotions / feelings/ reason/ intellect / memory /imagination. 1 John :2 - Dear friend, I pray that your may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as you soul is getting along well. Most of the time when a Christian is struggling with carnal things its not bad behavior, its wrong thinking! God wants us to have success in every area of our life. We are 3 part being spirit, soul, body, when we get  born again in our spirit, it is now perfect, its the soul that needs transformation and that's where this verse is powerful, Romans 12:- Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to to test and approve what God's will is - his good, pleasing and perfect will. 

Transformation thinking can change anything, transformation word thinking, so it allows you to take back your thought life to where God intended it to be. If there was a past failure in your life that caused you to fail over and over again, then put the word of God on it. Take the word of God find scriptures in there on all the promises that tell you who you are in HIM. Abide in Him, stay connected to Him, manifestation cannot come with out the proper connection. Don't let the word just lay around you, take it in. Get Your heart right, get all the junk out and let the word take center stage. 

The word becomes life to those who find it," your everyday affairs" are handled now with the word of God.Renewing your mind will shut the gate on Satan! The reason Satan wants to control your thought life is, if he can control your decisions, then he can control your actions, which will lead him to control your habits, and then he has your character, and now he controls, and wants to destroy your destiny. Your behavior went off because your thought life went off, the word. The word is a mirror for us, and as long as we look into this mirror our true identity will be their! 

A lot of churches for many years were focused on on actions and behavior, always preaching on repentance, which we do need for sure, but after the repentance how do you NOT go back to your old ways? Hebrews 4:12- For the word of God is living and active , Sharper than any double -edge sword, it penetrates even to dividing the soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Powerful verse, this is the connection that must happen the word goes into these areas and changes you, BUT, you must stay long enough for it to change you, its not a one time thing. Once you you abide there and marinate in it,change starts to take place in your thinking. Now your mind is not rejecting this truth, its being transformed just as the word says in Romans. 

So when those old thoughts come back to you, and Satan tells you your not going to make it, or telling you to go back to your old ways, you now will know what to do. Take it captive with the word of God, you cant always control what thought comes into your mind, BUT, you can control how far that thought makes progress, in your mind and life. STOP all thoughts at the gate, handcuff them first, and make sure they are lining up with who God says you are in Him. 

The mind is the only access point in which Satan can attack and gain entrance. He cant touch our spirit or body as Christians. So if we make the word first priority, attend to his sayings and words and meditate on them, get them into our heart, then our thinking is right, now we can speak with authority! We can tell Satan no, I'm no longer that old person, I don't think that way any longer. My life is in Christ now and now my dreams are big because my thinking is right.
