- God is a Creative God! Where there is nothing, He creates something! God has birthed purpose in your life. It is time to get your dreams out, dust them off, and stop making excuses why they will not come to pass. The temptation is to bring your dreams to pass....yourself! But God is bigger! He is the One who puts the dreams on the inside of you. He is saying to us, "let Me be God and let Me bring those things to pass! Many times we use our creative ability to create problems. God can work all things out in your life. Our Creator, only creates that which is good! John 8:31
- Free people have responsibility! We have liberation and freedom through Christ! Many times we want to be free, but we don't want to walk in the responsibility that it brings. Phil. 3:12 says, Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Keep pursuing, pressing, straining, never giving up your freedom. If there is something in your past that keeps pulling you down, cut it off. It's in your past. Dwelling on those types of things give them significance.
- You need to have forward thinking! Be resilient! You've been redeemed! Free people don't live for themselves or just their freedom. Free people help to set others free! Lay aside those weights! Hebrews 12:1 tells us, "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us." If Jesus was willing to give His life, what sacrifices am I willing to make? Look to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of your faith!
