God Focus Challenge
Getting things “RIGHT” in our lives is about our FOCUS & learning how to properly do Spiritual Warfare!
Getting things right in life is about getting our focus OFF of our problems and ON God by praising and worshipping Him, and focusing and declaring the truths and promises in His word over our lives, and over every challenge that comes our way! He blesses our needs and lives when we shift our focus from our problems and challenges TO HIM! Shifting our focus onto Him takes us OUT of ‘dry places’ and out of places and regions of captivity that the enemy is attempting to lead us to (and keep us in.) Supporting bible verse; Isaiah 26:3
God designed us to be and live in continued fellowship with Him, praising and worshipping Him. When we are aligned with Him in this way He aligns EVERYTHING in our lives according to His glorious riches. When we are not continually aligned in this way with Him, and when our faith and trust in Him waivers we can become sickness and strife magnets. Our bodies are far too fragile to hold and maintain the burdens of this world. Our stresses and challenges are designed for Him to transform all for His glory, while He deepens our faith and trust. Supporting bible verse Psalm 150:1-6
GOD FOCUS CHALLENGE…
If you think it is too simple or too good to be true that shifting your focus from your problems to God and His truths will transform your health, life and circumstances, then I’d like to challenge you to let Him prove you different! For just one day, be ultra aware of your thoughts, words, and actions and every time a negative thought comes to your mind, shift your focus/thoughts and give them to God trusting Him fully. Start to meditate and speak on what God says about you (see ‘Who I am in Christ’.) Start to praise and worship God for the blessings that you DO have! Regardless of what challenges you have, there is ALWAYS something to be grateful for! Examples of blessings some may take for granted; freedom to worship God openly, a home and roof over your head, meals, utilities (water, gas, electric, trash,) warm clean bed, family and friends, health, etc. These and many more are all blessings that the majority of the world don’t have. He places a multitude of hidden treasures in our days….look for them! Express your gratitude to Him for each and every one! Just watch what God can do in ONE day just by you simply loving up on Him even more! My prayer is that you will be so inspired by what God does in this short period of time that you will integrate this into your everyday life! Yes, He did design things to be this simple!
So challenge yourself to just STOP talking and thinking about your problems. STOP feeding the madness!! What we confess with our words we possess! Wouldn’t you rather posses the goodness and abundant blessings God has for you?! You can simply start to shift your mind/thoughts and life right now! If you’re looking for a message from God THIS IS IT!! Now just DO IT!! God has AMAZING plans for us all, even greater than we can imagine! However He wants our undivided attention along with a FULL relationship with Him in EVERY area of our lives! We must learn how to do spiritual warfare Gods way so that we can be set free from captivity by saying NO to the enemy’s lies and distractions and SAYING YES to God! We must turn to God and His word so that we can be transformed by the renewing of our minds. (Romans 12: 1-2 and 2 Corinthians 10:5) Make the simple choice to STOP the ‘stinkin thinkin’ and CHOOSE your words and thoughts carefully! One of the most powerful ways towards our freedom in God is to STOP partnering with the enemy by believing his lies. Start to do spiritual warfare Gods way and replace the lies, negative thoughts, words and language with Gods truths and promises while striving to consistently be in a state of gratitude by loving, praising, and worshipping our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
On a final note, if you’re already praising and worshipping God, that’s AWESOME….do it even more! We are more than conquerors in Christ we are His Warrior Princes and Princesses and He is calling us to an EVEN DEEPER relationship with Him regardless if we’re a brand new believer or a pastor of 20+ years! Yes, He did design things to be this simple!
