Delete & Repeat

by Dave

Today's Scripture:
"So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."(Romans 10:17, NKJV).
 
Today's Word:
Are you allowing negative thoughts to stifle your potential? Why don't you start hitting the delete button? The experts may have told you that things are impossible or how it's not going to work out, but those people don’t know what God has in store. He has the final say. He wouldn’t have placed that dream in your heart or given you that promise if He didn’t have a way to bring it to pass. It’s time to delete what the naysayers have told you. It’s time to delete the discouraging words. Delete the negative reports. You’ve got to delete and repeat. You’ve got to keep deleting those negative thoughts and keep replacing them with the Word of God until you get back to your original software, so to speak—until faith is stronger than your doubts.

Who told you that you can't be successful? Who told you you're not tall enough, not smart enough, or that you’ve reached your limits? I can assure you that it did not come from your Creator. Don't let others set the limits for your life. Delete those wrong thoughts, believe God’s Word, and embrace the blessing and victory He has in store for you!
 
Prayer for Today:
Father, thank You for Your Word which sets me free. I choose to delete every negative mindset and replace it with Your truth. Give me Your joy which is strength as I am daily transformed by the renewing of my mind in Jesus’ name. Amen

Water The Right Seeds

by Dave
 
Today's Scripture:
"Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up, grew and produced a crop, some multiplying thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times."   (Mark 4:8, NIV).
 
Today's Word:
There was a report about children who had been bullied in school. It talked about how years later, those negative words were still having an effect on many of them. They interviewed this one man. He was in his 40’s. He looked to be a bright, intelligent man, but he had not been able to hold down a good job, struggled in his relationships, and couldn’t seem to get on course. He said as a child, he was overweight. He was chubby, and some of the other children made fun of him and called him names like “loser” and “failure.” He made the mistake of letting those words take root. Now they were keeping him in mediocrity.
 
When somebody calls you something, either good or bad, that seed is planted in your soil. Now you get to determine whether or not that seed takes root and grows. When you dwell on what was said, you are watering the seed. You’re giving it a right to become a reality. That’s why it’s so important that we’re disciplined in our thought life. It’s great when people tell you, “You’re blessed. You’re talented. You’re going to do great things.” Meditate on those throughout the day. Water those seeds and watch His truth become your reality!
 
Prayer for Today:
Father, thank You for depositing seeds of greatness inside of me. I choose to uproot every negative word spoken over me by accepting Your truth that will set me free! In Jesus’ name. Amen

It's Never Too Late

by Dave

Today's Scripture:
"See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? ..."(Isaiah 43:19, NIV).
 
Today's Word:
No matter what has happened in your life, it is never too late to become everything God created you to be. The key is to clear out all the negative things people have said about you and focus on what God says about you!
 
You are not who people say you are. You are who God says you are. You have to clear out what that old coach or teacher said about you. Delete it. Quit dwelling on that. You have exactly what you need for the race that’s been designed for you. Clear out what the counselor said, “You’re just a C student. You’re not college material.” Delete it. You’re an A student. You have seeds of greatness. Clear out what the ex-boyfriend or ex-spouse said, “You’re not attractive. You’re not good enough for me.” Delete it. You’re a masterpiece, one of a kind, beautiful, attractive, God’s prized possession. You might even have to clear out what a parent said or whoever raised you. “You’re so undisciplined. You’re never going to amount to much. You can’t do anything right.” Delete it. You are destined to do great things.
 
You’re destined to leave your mark on this generation, and it’s never too late to embrace all God has in store for you!
 
Prayer for Today:
Father, thank You for renewing and restoring my mind. I choose to clear out the negative input from my past so I can make room for Your truth. Show me Your love and the good plan You have for me in Jesus’ name. Amen
