Don’t Let This Be YOU
A lady came up for prayer today at church. She asked for prayer for her husband and i immediately discerned she felt defeated. I started to speak Faith into the situation and she started to give me reasons why the situation was bad… Notice I’m speaking that she will be victorious, that her situation will change and she’s telling me why it won’t and what her battle is…
Understand the battle is not external, it’s internal. She wanted an easy prayer and to go back home and stay the same. Yet she said she wanted change?
If you want change but you don’t WANT TO CHANGE, then you’re delusional. That might sound mean but it’s the truth. When you change, everything else changes.
What I’ve realized is people don’t want change, change is too hard, sometimes they would rather complain.
I encourage you… this is a pattern. I would tell more stories but I want to be kind on a very touchy subject. Become a person that embraces changing on the inside. This is the purpose of life. You are not a victim but a creator, your life is what you’ve made it. The people, and challenges in your life have come as gifts to sharpen you. When you change, new people and things will come for the new levels of change.
Your life will not just magically change by itself. You must do something different. But for a full change, you must become someone different.
How? Read your Bible daily, Pray 1 hour a day, Declare and visualize yourself as the new person, receiving the new things. Finally, faith without works is dead. Take a step of faith in the direction of the impossible each day.
This in 90 days can change everything.
Imagine me talking to a homeless man and he says, “I don’t want to be homeless anymore…” then I say, I know someone who is hiring. He says, “I don’t have a license.” Then I say I will pay for you to get one.
I get him what he needs, then he doesn’t show up to work on time. He calls out, and he barely works…
He didn’t want to change. He wanted the benefits of a different life, without becoming a different person. Without putting in the work to change.
Don’t be lazy. It’s not everyone else…
If you’ve read this far, congratulations. You’ve fo e more than most. Will you commit to changing you?
Some people want to get married, but won’t go to the gym.., ok
Some people want to become rich, but won’t work… ok
Some people want a healthy marriage but won’t serve their spouse… ok
Some people want to go farther in ministry but won’t submit… ok
When you change, everything changes.
I added a video of a 625 pound man. When he goes to see the doctor, the doctor says… what do you think caused this level of weight gain, the man says I’ve been ordering fast food.
Then the doctor says, “you can also order salads, so it’s your choices in food right?”
Then he says, what have you done to change this? The man says, nothing. I think it’s because of my depression. I eat because I’m depressed at how I look and I’m depressed so I eat.
Understand the problem is internal but his external problems simply stem from his choices. No one else can be blamed for his weight. What must he do to change? Simply desire healing in his mind. Make the steps to be healed and then start the process of becoming a person that takes care of your body.
It’s simple for us but we must understand every external problem stems from internal wounds. The scary thing is… some of us cannot see our external problems like we can see his weight… so we ignore them yet want them to secretly change.
