“For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘be removed and cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.” (Mark 11:23 NKJV)
“For as he thinks in his heart, so is he…” (Proverbs 23:7a NKJV)
“The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’s; but the earth He has given to the children of men.” (Psalm 115:16 NKJV)
Every day I am faced with circumstances and situations that try to influence the way I think, speak, and act. I must ask myself, “Am I thinking, speaking, and acting based on what I am experiencing, or am I changing my experience by the way I am thinking, speaking, and acting?”
I was created to partner with my Daddy (my Heavenly Abba Father) to take dominion of the earth. As a descendant of Adam I was given the earth and charged with the responsibility to rule the physical realm and subdue the spiritual realm. Adam turned his back on his assignment, bent his knee to the enemy, gave him the earth, and delivered the kingdoms of the world to him. For a season Satan became the god of this world and ruled and reigned in a tyranny of death and destruction. He blinded the eyes of humanity and wreaked havoc on the planet. Jesus, the last Adam, took it all back and handed the keys back to humanity. He then told us (me) to go into all the world and share the “Good News.”
Now that Jesus restored what Adam had given away. it is up to me to make this world a better place. The way that I do that is through the way I think, speak, and act. I have an adversary, and he will do everything in his power to stop me from completing this assignment by placing things in my path with the intent of changing these 3 vital elements of my life, knowing that…
…As I think, so am I…
…I will have what I say…
…I will reap what I sow (how I act)…
…I am created in the image and likeness of the Creator (my Heavenly Father).
…I am one with Christ (my brother Jesus).
…I am filled with the Holy Spirit (my teacher and guide).
I have been given the creative ability of my Father to take dominion of the Earth, the Name and Blood of Jesus to expand the Kingdom of Heaven throughout the world, and the power of the Holy Spirit to do the greater works that transform lives!
I will think, speak, and act on the Word regardless of what I see, hear, or experience around me.
How about you?
Join me in living…
