We Are Jars Of Clay, Not Iron. But When Christ Fills Us, We Carry Treasure Greater Than Gold. His Sufficiency Surpasses Every Human Shortfall. This Is Divine Strength In A Human Shell.
God can use ANYTHING to get your total attention.
You have great hope being of God’s ABUNDANT GRACE.
You may not understand why you are going through a tough situation - the bible says to count it all as JOY and TRUST God.
Whatever it is, THINK what is:
True
Noble
Right
Pure
Lovely
Admirable
Excellent
Praiseworthy
THINK ABOUT ALL THESE THINGS.
Memorize Philippians 4:8; this is a BEST PRACTICE.
“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”
We all know what it is like to feel negative. But we are instructed to take every thought captive and to renew our MINDS DAILY. We are all the same in different kinds of ways.
Use the mighty name of Jesus with authority to bind all thought of negativity that do not come from God and that do not match His powerful Word. See the lies and pluck them out in Jesus’ name! Get set free and do not lose the hope you have. If you feel defeated, there is a battle for your mind and you must choose wisely how to think from the Word.
The weapons you need to fight are in Ephesians 6:1-18.
“Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.”
Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.
Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people, because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether they are slave or free.
And masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Do not threaten them, since you know that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him.
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.”
Put on the full armor of God and watch your thoughts and words. I believe you and I can do this; we were born to be MORE THAN COMFORTABLE. We were made for these days.
The POWER of PRAYER.
God has called us by name and He doesn’t make mistakes.
