I see a lot of people that are stuck. It’s kind of a theme for me right now, if you haven’t noticed. But one thing I know, is that your mentality (or maybe your faith) needs to be bigger than your circumstances. This means the worse the circumstances, the more someone may need to dig in and speak think and do over that thing. They may need to take charge of their mentality no matter how hard it may be to make sure that the circumstance doesn’t hold the power.

There are people speaking what they want in life, but what are they dwelling on? What are they allowing to consume their mind? Are they speaking to themselves saying their family is going to get better, their finances will one day be taken care of , or are they allowing fear and worry to control the day?  Are they speaking to themselves, patting themselves on the back even if no one else is? Are they focused on their faults, or are they being the first to remind themselves of their skill and abilities. Are they the first ones to point out a flaw or are they congratulating themselves on how they have made it through an obstacle and they are still kickin’?

We can literally manifest the outcomes that we don’t want in our life. But something happens when we stop letting life convince us of things and instead convince life of what you are. You are blessed. You are whole. You will make it. When is the last time you spent some time telling yourself that?

What if you spent all week saying nothing but positive about your circumstance or yourself? What if you just decided that no matter how difficult it is, you are going to reach a better place?

In other words, your mentality is sailing above the difficulties which in turn can’t help but cause the situations to start becoming better. Something happens when we start changing our thoughts and mindsets.

If ya need a scripture–here’s one!

2 Corinthians 10: 5

Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ

Now, to me this may mean something different than other people and that’s fine if you disagree with me. But I truly believe God wants you to live a better life. He wants you to believe in yourself, feel confident and walk in victory. This knowledge of Christ could also be what he thinks about you.

Have you ever thought he loves you so much that when you beat yourself up it actually hurts him? He gets happy when you start telling yourself who you really are. He gets happy when you find beauty in the creation that he made- you!

He gets happy when you start speaking good things over your life. Those times may be the closest times you will have to the heart of God because he truly cares about you.

He wants what is yours to succeed. He doesn’t want your car repo’d or your house refinanced. Stop saying God is testing you and instead say this isn’t what you want God, so how can I step into the area you want me in? How can I step into that blessed life that you promised?

This scripture literally says bringing into captivity. Don’t let your circumstances drag you around like a slave, holding you captive with fear, anxiety and worry. Instead, bring it into captivity from the inside out. Let your circumstance be filled with positivity instead of reproducing that fear and worry.

In other words. raise your mentality to believe what he believes about you. He would love nothing more than for you to walk in the knowledge of God, and walk in the shelter of his peace and love.
