Day 7: Winning the Wars Within

Accept the new season that you’re going into. Not long after David’s victorious slay of Goliath, he was given the opportunity to live and work in the Kingdom for King Saul. He went from a shepherd boy to living in the palace almost overnight. If you’re familiar with the story thereafter, King Saul grew to fear David because he knew that the Lord was with him-David prospered in everything that he did. Having the Lord on your side doesn't necessarily mean that life will always be peachy cream, but it does mean you have someone weighing the storms out with you.  Storms in life are inevitable, but how you respond to those storms shows the truest essence of your character and the development thereafter. 

In concluding the Winning the Wars Within series on Day 7 was very significant and on purpose. The biblical meaning of the number 7 is “Completion,” and while closing this chapter in your life I pray that you will completely embrace what God has for you in the next season of your life. I smell victory in the air, and it smells really good on you. Your time is NOW and not later.  Be completely healed, completely motivated for purpose, be complete in your Spirit, your soul, and your body.

Day 7 Assignment: Embrace Day 7 today by identifying areas in your life that you desire to be complete in- your heart, mind, soul, relationships, finances, etc. Write them down in your journal and then lay them at the feet of God in prayer. Remember Christ came not so that we may have life only, but life more abundantly (overflowing) (John 10:10).

**It was a privilege and honor to be your teacher on Winning the Wars Within (I hope you gain something insightful during these 7 days). I pray that a victorious healing has taken place in your life, to where a shift was created in the space of your mind, and a powerful move of God has taken place in your life. God Bless**

The Next Series will be titled: Step out the Boat- We will be discussing making courageous moves and steps to overcoming your deepest fears in life. Stay tune for Day 1 of the New series. Talk with You Soon J

Clear Skies Above the Clouds

Wow! How magnificent the Lord is in creating such a masterpiece besides mankind called “planet earth”. As I gaze out the window 30,000 feet up in the air, I can’t help but notice that the clouds below only reach so high up in the air. During the course of my flight I saw pieces of land here and there, but for the most part fluffy white clouds covered the sky below. While observing the beauty of God’s creation I couldn’t help but notice that there seem to be another sky clearly located above the clouds. In this level of sky, there were no clouds in sight to interrupt the shinning of the sun dancing across the crystal blue skies; I was immediately taken away by the artistry  being painted right in front of my eyes; what an incredible artist God is.

 While opening up a pack of biscoff cookies, revelation suddenly hit me!! Right there 30,000 feet up in the air the Lord spoke to me!! The two skies are two examples of thinking; a cloudy sky=negative thinking, and a clear beautiful sky= positive thinking. God showed me a clear visual as to how your thinking (negative or positive) can shape the outcome of your mind, which will later shape your future.

God created our minds to form the outcomes of our lives. That is why Paul in Philippians 4:8 talked about fixing our thoughts on whatever is true, and honorable, right, and pure, lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise; in this creates the abundant life God promised us in his word (see John 10:10). The Lord desires for us to be free from our negative thinking through his word!!  If we as Christians can just rise above the negative thought clouds in life, and press our way into the crystal clear mindset of positive thinking, then we shall have what God’s word says and that is to be free!!! Be Bless!!!
