SAY IT, BELIEVE IT, RECEIVE IT

HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU HEARD OR SAID THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS:

I AM SO TIRED OF MY LIFE.  I WONT EVER HAVE ANYTHING.  I DOESNT LOOK LIKE I WILL EVER BE HAPPY.  I AM SO IN DEBT.  HE DOESNT APPRECIATE ME.  ALL SHE DOES IS COMPLAIN.  MY KIDS WONT EVER ACT RIGHT.  I GET SICKER BY THE DAY.  IF IT WASNT FOR BAD LUCK, I WOULD HAVE NO LUCK AT ALL. 

YOU GET THE PICTURE.  THIS LIST COULD GO ON AND ON...................

WE OFTEN GET CAUGHT UP IN NEGATIVITY.  WE BECOME SATISFIED TO LIVE IN MISERY.  OUR SELF WORTH IS SOMETIMES NON EXISTENT AND WE SEE OURSELVES AS UNWORTHY OF RESPECT, LOVE AND HAPPINESS.  I KNOW PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN MISERABLE FOR YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS.  MISERY SEEMS TO BE PASSED DOWN THROUGHOUT GENERATIONS IN SOME CASES AND IF WE DONT PUT A STOP TO IT NOW, OUR CHILDREN WILL NEVER STAND A CHANCE!!!!  STOP AND THINK FOR A MOMENT, DO YOU WANT YOUR CHILDREN TO EXPECT TO HAVE NOTHING?  DO YOU WANT THEM TO SIMPLY EXIST?  I THINK NOT................

ONCE AGAIN, I AM GOING TO COMPARE GOD TO A LOVING PARENT.  HE WANTS WHATS BEST FOR US.  HE WANTS US TO BE HAPPY, TO THRIVE, AND TO EXPERIENCE VICTORIES.  WE CANNOT DO THIS BY SITTING BACK AND KEEPING OUR MOUTH SHUT.  WE MUST SPEAK HIS BLESSINGS AND HIS PROMISES INTO OUR LIVES!  WE CANNOT JUST SIT BACK AND THINK OF A VICTORIOUS LIFE.  WE GOTTA CLAIM IT!!!!!  ONE OF OUR LOCAL TELEVISION STATIONS HAS A SLOGAN CALLED "SEE IT, SHOOT IT, SEND IT", WELL, WE GOTTA "SAY IT, BELIEVE IT, RECEIVE IT!" 

IN THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE BIBLE, GENESIS 1:3, GOD PROVED THE POWER OF THE SPOKEN WORD WHEN HE SAID, "LET THERE BE LIGHT."  IN FACT, BOTH THE OLD AND THE NEW TESTAMENT ARE FILLED WITH INSTANCES WHICH PROVE THE POWER OF THE SPOKEN WORD.  IF WE WANT VICTORY IN OUR LIVES,
WE MUST SPEAK IT.  THERE IS SUCH A GREAT POWER IN THE SPOKEN WORD!  ONCE WE NAME IT AND CLAIM IT IN JESUS NAME, WE WILL SEE MIGHTY CHANGES TAKE PLACE.  STAND FIRM....BELIEVE IN HIS POWER...TRUST IN HIS WORD...CLAIM IT, CLAIM IT, CLAIM IT......GET PREPARED TO SEE A DIFFERENCE IN YOUR LIFE!!!
