THE POWER OF A DECISION

Walk Into Your Wealthy Place

I saw a sign today that said, “Change is a process not an event.” I totally agree with that but I have been musing over a phrase that keeps running through my mind recently: 
 “CHANGE STARTS WITH A DECISION.” It seems too simple to be true, but it is!

Are you unhappy with what is happening in your life? Are you being bombarded with negative situations? Are you doing what everyone else wants you to do but not what you desire to do?  Are you stuck in the past? Do you have a dream hidden inside you and you think you have missed your opportunity? Are you just sick and tired of being sick and tired? Do you feel that you are not in charge of your life?

THIS IS NOT MY DESTINY

You can change that! Make up your mind that this unhappy or unfulfilling state of being is not your portion or your destiny. Decide that you will not allow it to dominate and dictate your life.  You know what you want your life to look like. Go after it!

Your inheritance is already laid out for you in black and white – in the Word of God.  You don’t have to guess or wonder about it - but you do have to take ownership of what belongs you.  You have to believe it, agree with it, declare it and act on it.

GET AN ATTITUDE

Say it! -- Purpose is mine ⁽¹⁾, peace is mine ⁽²⁾, abundance is mine ⁽³⁾, joy is mine ⁽⁴⁾ health is mine ⁽⁵⁾ and I will not accept anything less. Once you make that decision, you have made the change.  Don’t turn back.  Walk on into your wealthy place ⁽⁶⁾ with the attitude “this belongs to me.” The blood of Jesus purchased it.

YOU’RE IN CONTROL

Count the change as already done, even if circumstances don’t appear to change immediately. Walk out the process with great expectation because you have changed and you’re in charge; everything else will follow.

Communicate with God through worship, prayer, and the Word so you can download updates and strategies to maintain the changes that you commanded - through your decision. Your decision will bring out the best in you.
