The following entry was written by Miss Tiffany Renee Easley, a very dear friend of
mine. Ms. Easley is a deeply spiritual
and devout servant of the Most High who like me was tasked with leaving her
comfort zone and stepping out on faith to position herself to receive God’s
best. A most gifted writer, she blessed me with some Rhema word that blessed me
tremendously. I pray that it blesses you as well…
God Has My Back©
Philippians
4: 6-13
For the past 101 days I
have kept track of the revelations that the Holy Spirit has whispered in my
ear. Many times it was because of the
soft still voice that I was able to keep focus on what was ahead of me and not
become discouraged at the circumstances around me and the situations that I was
facing. It was those still small voices
that kept me from giving up. As I look back at the past three weeks I am able
to honestly say that God has allowed the Holy Spirit to constantly whisper to
me. The Holy Spirit has been saying “trust
in God’s word, speak God’s word, and use God’s word to move those mountains and
valleys that you are facing.”
While I am enjoying this
journey there have been days when I wanted to quit because things were not
going as I wanted them to. Each time
things were not going as I thought they should I would hear that still small
voice (getting an octave louder) say” God has you, just keep moving forward in
faith”. I would remember that faith
without works is dead and if I wanted things to change in my favor I would have
to work the word. God knew what I would
face on each day of this journey and He prepared a word for each of those days.
This morning Pastor Sheryl Brady said it best when she said Just Do It. By Faith take a step and Just Do It! This resonated in my spirit and I realized that I cannot, I must not, and I will not give up without receiving victory. I have been divinely positioned and I will not allow the enemy to knock me out of that position. I realized last week; I allowed the enemy to catch me off guard and although I knew he was going to attack with all his might, I failed to be prepared. My thoughts were not conditioned, my faith was mal-nourished, and my peace was shaky. Today I went away from the service understanding that there are 3 major things I must do every day of this journey, if I am going to see the Glory of God manifested in my life.
I must:
1.
Pray
with Power: I must pray without ceasing, even when it looks like my prayers are
not being answered, I must keep praying and believing that God has already
worked it out in my favor. I must pray
with thanksgiving and without being anxious. (Philippians 4: 6)
2.
Participate
in Positive Thinking. I must not let the
thoughts of (inability, lack, and doubt) overpower the thoughts of (truth,
nobility, righteousness, purity, love, and excellence). God has ordained that I
think as He thinks and this must be a moment by moment practice and not a
struggle by struggle motivator. (Philippians 4:8)
3.
Practice
in/on Purpose: I must act on the word
and walk it out on purpose. God has
given me the answer to every question that I have asked. Every petition I have
laid before Him, He has given me the ability to see it manifest as an answered
prayer. God has given me the ability and
power to expect the manifestation of His blessings over my life. (Philippians 4:9)
I realize that God knows
where I am and He is right here with me. I realize that God’s plans are greater
than my plans. God’s thoughts are not like my thoughts, and His ways are higher
than my ways. (Isaiah 55:8-9). I realize that God desires to perform a
miracle on my behalf. God desires to be
my Super Hero and I need to rest in that He will save me no matter what it
looks like. God has placed me in a
position where the enemy thinks he has won, but God has allowed me to rest in
that position knowing that He is about to rescue me and His power will be
revealed.
Affirmation: Today, I
begin to exercise my faith with an expectation for things to change on my
behalf. I will no longer look at the
circumstances I face as impossible, but as possible for God to show himself as
my Super Hero. Today I declare and decree that greater is He that is within me
that he that is in the world. I declare
and decree that I am victorious and can do all things through Christ who gives
me strength. Today I take authority over
every assignment of the enemy and put it under the blood of Jesus. The enemy’s assignments against my life are
cancelled and made void and stripped of power. Today I declare and decree that
I will remain in position to see God’s word work on my behalf. I declare and decree that everything I touch,
speak, and complete will be Kingdom worthy and of excellence. The enemy will tremble at my name. I will walk in authority and declare that
there is nothing I cannot do through Jesus Christ! Today I will no longer think
of defeat, but will walk in victory. Today I will expect GREATNESS to surround
me in all that I do. Today I understand
that God has established the works of my hands and everything that I touch is
blessed.
Today I understand that
God has my back! My only choice is Victory! Today I understand that things have
turned around in my favor and the Glory of God is being revealed.
Abundant Blessings of
Peace and Favor!
