Doubt is powerful because it's based on facts. When it knocks on the door of your mind & screams you don't have the ability to do what God calls you to do, it's correct you don't...this is a fact. For you to do what God calls you to do, you have to completely rely on Jesus' power that lives in you...this is truth. What a relief to know God's truth trumps man's facts-the burden to do what God asks of you isn't determined by your ability & strength-it's determined by your believing in Him. When you choose to believe God, He gives you the desire & power to follow Him with the help of the Holy Spirit at work within you. God will do exceedingly, abundantly, more than you could ever imagine...beyon d your ability-accordi ng to the power that's at work within you. To the degree you believe in Jesus' power that's alive & at work within you, will determine the level of manifestation released through you. You have to be purposed in reading the Word & spending time with God, placing His written Word on your phone & around your home, hanging out with friends who will hold you accountable & speak truth to you & most of all...choose to believe God! If you focus on the facts-your actual inabilities, you will become overwhelmed & hand over the triumph that God's truth promises you. Don't be shocked when trials come to remind you of your weaknesses-because they will. During each trial allow God's power to be perfected in your weakness! God goes before you & follows behind you-He never leaves you to your own ability. Will you put your faith in God's power...not the wisdom of man? (2 Cor 12:9, Jn 6:29, Phil 2:13, Eph 3:20, Ps 139:5, 1 Cor 2:5) 9/17/13LMM #CIFL #godspowerisperfectedinyourweakness
Shining God's truth across the world (Mt 5:16). When we lay down who we think we should be...we make room to become who God says we can be-His masterpiece to do the good works He planned long ago (Eph 2:10).
