Your Hopes are Granted

-
"The fears of the wicked will be fulfilled; the hopes of the godly will be granted." (Proverbs 10:24 NLT)

Fear can be a good thing and a bad thing. Fear can be your best friend if you allow it to keep you sharp. When fear takes over is when we allow those fears to dictate our decisions. There was a man who lived a long time ago name Job and he had a very hard time. One of the things he told his friends was, "That which I feared has come upon me." 

It seems this man had a vision for fear, but that is not what we are supposed to have. We are supposed to have a vision of faith. I have heard it said that it takes the same amount of energy to have faith as it does to have fear and that fear is just faith moving in the opposite direction. That tells me I can change what I am thinking, I can start declaring promises that will feed my faith instead of thoughts that feed my fears. 

 Today's word says that the hopes of the godly are granted. I know that is you or you would not be reading this today. It doesn't say the fears of the godly, the bad breaks, the strongholds. It says the hopes.  Don't let your thoughts tell you otherwise. That means, if you want to see your hopes come to pass you need to start feeding your faith. "Yes, but you don't know all I am going through. The enemy is hitting me really hard, I just can't face that problem," you say. You need to turn over your thoughts to faith, speak victory, and in due time you will see what you really were hoping for. It says the godly will see their hopes come to pass. You cannot go until what you are hoping for happens.  I believe and declare this will be your day you will see an abundance of rain, you will overcome your fears and start living what is promised to you.

PRAYER FOR TODAY

GREAT SPIRIT, Thank you your favor protects me like a shield and no weapon formed against me will prosper. Thank you for changing my thoughts from fear to faith. Thank you for the set time for my hopes to come true. By the name of the Great Lion, Let this be so.

You are strong in The Great Spirit and you will walk in victory all day long.

The True Sign of Maturity

[A Year with Aslan, Lewis, 2010] "Aslan, Aslan, dear Aslan," sobbed Lucy, "at last."     The GREAT LION rolled over on his side so that Lucy fell, half sitting and half lying between his paws. He [Aslan] bent forward and touched her nose with his tongue. His warm breath came around her. She gazed up into his large, wise face.    "Welcome, child," he said.    "Aslan," Lucy said, "you're bigger."    "That is because you are older, little one," answered he.    "Not because you are?"    "I am not. But every year you grow you will find me bigger." What does it mean to you that each year you grow, we discover the Great Lion to be bigger? A PRAYER FOR TODAY GREAT SPIRIT, thank you that each year we live you become bigger on the inside of us. Thank you that the Great Lion grows bigger and more powerful in and through us every year of our life. Thank you for giving us the wisdom to see your mysterie...

“A man’s gift makes room for him and brings him before great men.” (Proverbs 18:16, NASB) TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria When people hear the story of David and Goliath, sometimes they think, “That was all God.” And yes, in a sense, it was all God; but God didn’t sling the stone. David had a role to play, too. God gave David the skill that he had to develop in order to be prepared for that defining moment. Like David, God has put skills inside of you so that you can slay the giants in your life. You have the skills that can open new doors, skills that can lead to an abundant life, but the key is that the skills have to be developed. Every day that you spend growing, learning and improving, you’re getting prepared for that new level. Today, while you’re waiting for that new opportunity, start sharpening your skills. Study your boss. Study your manager. Learn that position. Be able to step into their shoes. When God sees that you are prepared, then He can ...

You Get What You Think

“The fears ….. will be fulfilled; the hopes of the godly will be granted.” (Proverbs 10:14 NLT) Our life will always move to what we think about most, which is why it is so important to guard your mind. If you are not careful you can think about only negative things and you become a negative person. Have you ever been around that person who only has the news channel on in their house? They are always talking about how bad things are, how things just seem to be getting worse, the world is coming to an end. That person over time, if you take notice, will become a very cynical, negative person. Why? They were moving toward what they were watching and thinking about.  We also know those people who let their fears take hold of their life, “My car is going to break down this week, and I just know it”or“I knew we wouldn’t be able to go on that vacation, I just knew I would get downsized.” What happened? Your fears were fulfilled. ...
