MAKE THAT CHANGE
Each of you must take responsibility for
doing the creative best you can with
your own life.
Galatians 6:5 MSG
Some Christians try to make God
responsible for what actually is their
responsibility. Often times, when
something unpleasant happens they'd
conclude, "It's the will of God;
otherwise, why did He let it happen?"
What such people need to realize is
that the authority to change things on
earth, and make your life as beautiful
as you want it to be, has been
delegated to us. Thus, you can make
your life glorious; and one of the ways
to do this is by your faith.
In Matthew 17:20, the Lord Jesus was
emphatic when He said, "...verily I say
unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of
mustard seed, ye shall say unto this
mountain, Remove hence to yonder
place; and it shall remove; and nothing
shall be impossible unto you." He
makes it clear that you can create your
victorious life by acting your faith; you
don't have to wait on God! He already
gave you the measure of faith you
require to "move mountains"; that is,
to effect the changes you desire. If
Jesus had said, "nothing shall be
impossible unto God," that would have
been easy enough to agree with; but
He said nothing shall be impossible
unto YOU.
Then in Mark 9:23, He said, "...all
things are possible to him that
believeth." So the big question is: Do
you believe? If you do, then what do
you believe? If you believe His Word
and put it to work in your life, then
anything is possible with you. You
shouldn't wait for God to alter the
circumstances keeping you from living
out His Word; you're responsible to
cause those changes that you desire.
Don't "wait" for His Word to come to
pass in your life; rather, you're to
"work" the Word. Philippians 2:12
says, "...work out your own salvation
with fear and trembling." In other
words, work out the Word in your life
and make it produce results. By your
faith, you can be what you want to be,
change what you want to change, and
achieve what you want to achieve!
God has already given you the
dominion and the authority to create
your triumphant life by altering the
course of events in your life to conform
with His perfect will. Keep living in the
Word, and the glory of God will be
manifest in all you do.
CONFESSION
I can do all things through Christ, who
strengthens me. My life is one of
endless glory, joy, victories, successes,
and possibilities! Nothing is impossible
unto me! I'm a believer in Christ Jesus,
therefore, a possessor of all things!
Halleluiah.
