better days are coming.
When I was a boy, we had a dog named Pup. Don’t let the name fool you, though. He was a mean and ferocious animal. He would eat anyone who came near him. We had him chained in the back of the house to a four-by-four post. The chain was huge. We never imagined that he could possibly tear himself loose from that post. He would chase something and the chain would snap him back. We often laughed at him, as we stood outside his reach.
One day Pup saw something that he really wanted. It was out of his reach. However, the motivation before him became more important than what was behind him. He pulled that chain to the limit. All at once, instead of drawing him back, the chain snapped, and Pup was loose to chase his prey.
That’s what God will do for you. The thing that used to pull you back you will snap, and you will be liberated by a goal because God’s put greatness before you. You can’t receive what God wants for your life by looking back. He is mighty. He is powerful enough to destroy the yoke of the enemy in your life. He is strong enough to bring you out and loose you, deliver you and set you free.
Y ou can’t receive what God wants for your life by looking back.
What we need is a seed in the womb that we believe is enough to produce an embryo. We must be willing to feed that embryo for it to grow and become visible. When it will not be hidden anymore, it will break forth in life as answered prayer. It will break forth. No matter how hard others try to hold it back, it will break forth.
Put the truth in your spirit and feed, nurture and allow it to grow. Quit telling yourself, “You’re too fat, too old, too late or too ignorant.” Quit feeding yourself that garbage. That will not nourish the baby. Too often we starve the embryo of faith that is growing within us. It is unwise to speak against your own body. Women tend to speak against their bodies, opening the door for sickness and disease. Speak life to your own body. Celebrate who you are. You are the image of God.
S peak life to your own body.
Scriptures remind us of who we are. “
I will praise Thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are Thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well
” (Ps. 139:14). These are the words that will feed our souls. The truth will allow new life to swell up within us. Feed the embryo within with such words as these.
When I consider Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which Thou hast ordained; what is man, that Thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that Thou visitest him?
Psalm 8:3-4
“And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath”
Deuteronomy 28:13a.
“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me”
Philippians 4:13.
The Word of God will provide the nourishment that will feed the baby inside.
The Book of Hebrews provides us with a tremendous lesson on faith. When we believe God, we are counted as righteous. Righteousness cannot be earned or merited. It comes only through faith. We can have a good report simply on the basis of our faith. Faith becomes the tender, like money is the legal tender in this world that we use for exchange of goods and services. Faith becomes the tender, or the substance, of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen. By it the elders obtained a good report (Heb. 11:1-2).
“
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear
” (Heb. 11:3). The invisible became visible and was manifested. God wants us to understand that just because we can’t see it, doesn’t mean that He won’t do it. What God wants to do in us begins as a word that gets in the spirit. Everything that is tangible started as an intangible. It was a dream, a thought, a word of God. In the same way, what man has invented began as a concept in someone’s
