Be Inspired!

About a month ago, God gave me a message entitled “Don’t Become Hypnotized And Miss The Blessing”. Today God is still speaking the same thing, but elaborating a bit more about His plans for His people! Hypnosis is the place where the enemy can take us when we focus on problems and issues that can and will occur in our lives. Hypnosis can be described as: A changed state of awareness and increased relaxation that allows for improved focus and concentration. The more you give attention to the problem/issue that you may be facing, the deeper entranced you can become. You may go into a place of deep depression. Don’t allow hypnosis to slither its way into your life no matter what! 

I tell you, God is ready to move in a mighty way in our lives! God spoke during a message that Pastor Roberta Dampier of Kingdom Dominion World Ministries USA, preached a while ago and He said, “many are in deep depression because we walk by sight and not by faith”. The Word of God tells us that we should walk by faith and not by sight. Remember, the devil is the author of depression. He tries to use the troubles and challenges we face to depress us. Once you enter that unhappy and downcast place, you begin to think the way the enemy would have you think. In this depressed state, it can snowball you into to all kinds of things…. like suicidal thoughts and overeating just to name a couple. And guess what? If we find ourselves in this low depressed state, we miss the blessings that God has for us! The Bible tells us that without faith it’s impossible to please God. A lack of faith tells God we are not ready for the blessings he has for us!

Put all your faith in God! Cast every care on Him because He cares for you! He is now ready to open doors for you that no man can shut! So keep your eyes and ears open. Be ready to step out if God tells you to! Don’t run into the arms of the devil when he comes with his trickery and deception! Remember, God is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all that we could ever ask or think! And He truly wants to bless you more than you know! Be on the lookout for your blessings and even for those who are connected to you! As we wait on the Lord to move with great anticipation, pray this short prayer:        

God, help me to grow in my faith, to truly know and understand what true faith means and to walk by faith and not by sight. Help me to lean on and press into you like never before. Increase my faith is my prayer, help my unbelief! Help me to realize that you are the multi-breasted God…. able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all I could ever ask or think! In Jesus Christ’s name! Amen
