God Does What I Cannot

“When you come to the end of your resources, you have only begun to tap the unlimited resources of God.

1And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire; 2And had taken the women captives, that were therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried them away, and went on their way. 8And David enquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all. 11And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink water; 15And David said to him, Canst thou bring me down to this company? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this company. 17And David smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, which rode upon camels, and fled. 18And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives. 19And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them: David recovered all.

1 Samuel 30

9And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

2 Corinthians 12:9-10

Victory Decision

I will do my best and let God do the rest.

Acting in Faith

“The action of heaven is waiting on faith on the earth.

19And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

                                  Matthew 16:19

 11Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.

Isaiah 45:11

God is a faith God. The Bible is full of stories of men and women who acted on their faith in God and received blessings for it. We have to release our faith in order for God to move on earth. He is waiting on us!

Victory Action

God is waiting on me to do my part. As I act in faith, God will make things happen for me.

We are Blessed

“God is mindful of me and my house.

 

12The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron. 13He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great. 14The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children. 15Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.Psalm 115:12-15

“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him.” – Jeremiah 17:7

They replied, “Have faith in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved! This is also true for everyone who lives in your home.” – Acts 16:31

God has put many promises in His Word to bless us! There are promises for household salvation, protection as well as financial blessings. If you want to see these powerful promises work in your life, you need to put them in your heart and speak them out of your mouth.

 

Victory Confession

God will bless my house.  God always has me on His mind.

Attitude is a Decision

“To have a good attitude is my decision.

 

2I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart. 3I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me. 4A froward heart shall depart from me:

Psalm 101:2-4a  

Colossians 3:12

“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.”

Colossians 3:10

“A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.”

Proverbs 17:22

As believers we are supposed to live in way that isn’t common to everyone. Our choice to have a positive attitude even in the midst of difficult circumstances shows that we are living out of our spirit. There is power in a cheerful heart. Proverbs 17:22 underscores the positive impact of a cheerful heart on physical and emotional well-being, contrasting it with the detrimental effects of a broken spirit. A positive attitude will even bring health to our bodies!

Victory Decision

 

I cannot control what others do or say, but I can control my response to all situations. Therefore, like David, I make a conscious decision to have a good attitude.

Positive Attitude

“You can have a Positive Faith Attitude.

 

2And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Romans 12:2

13I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Philippians 4:13

 

We can recognize when our attitude begins to shift toward negativity. When that happens, we need to notice it quickly and have a plan for how to respond. Maintaining a positive FAITH attitude means continually building ourselves up with the Word of God. The Bible says that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word. When we put God’s Word in our hearts each day, we have what we need to overcome negativity and remain positive.

Victory Action

 

God’s Word is the source of positive faith attitude. Therefore, I will renew my mind each day in God’s Word.
