Take Possession of God's Promises

Job 10:12 Declares that God has granted us life & favor, and that it is His care that has preserved our spirits.

     Is there something or someone that has gotten the best of you lately? Do you feel as if you cannot go on one more day? 

     I want to encourage you that no matter what you may be feeling, no matter what your circumstances are, you must lay hold of the absolute truth. Your spirit, which is perfect, is being preserved! I always default to Jeremiah 29:11, because at the end of any day, no matter what the outcome appears to be, I know that His plans are good and He has abundance in store for me, not plans that can harm me.

  Mark 11:24 "Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you.

  How often as Christians have you said, "Okay Lord, I believe it, I do! I receive it!" Only to wonder why do I not have what I say I have? This is the faith walk after all. To pray as though you already have it. But what if I were to hand you a key to a brand new car? And you just held your hand out, wanting it, really wanting it. Your hand even got really close to the key. You believed it was yours because I told you it was yours. But you  never actually grabbed a hold of the key? Now imagine you reaching quickly and snatching the key out of my hand. I'm pretty sure the next thing you may do is rejoice and jump up and down for awhile. Praise! Praise! Praise! That is another message.

    The difference is, you actually grabbed the key and took possession of the key that unlocks the car, or unlocks- fill in the blank. It is yours indeed! You started telling people about your gift. You believed in your heart it is yours. You started singing about it, praising God for it, you started cleaning out the garage for your new gift, you made plans with it. Do you get the point here? The gifts from God are indeed already ours.
We just need to receive. Take possession of what He promises us, and live as if those promises are manifesting already. 
Never doubt His goodness or His faithfulness.

James 1:6 But let him ask in faith, without doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.
