Do you believe God has good planned for you? Do you honestly believe He wants you to live a blessed life? We are really good at saying the right things but when it comes down to it we do not always believe what we say, let alone what others may say to us. There is good reason for this, we have been lied to a lot, by people, not by God.

In times of transition, our beliefs are revealed to us. Great things can be happening to us, but then these nagging thoughts of “what if” or people’s comments about “well this is what happened to me”, arise around us or in us. In those moments when those thoughts come, the Lord is teaching me to cast them down by giving them no air time.

I did not realize how sneaky thoughts are in their sniper like attack when blessing after blessing is arriving. Great things are all around and here come these pesky thoughts that seek to be like flies in the ointment. They are not of God and honestly, when God is blessing us, they have no right in the conversation. So, I am learning to cast them down upon arrival.

I was reading Psalm 144 this morning and this is my prayer for you, for my nation and your nation, my city and your city, my family and your family. Anything contrary to this, must be cast down.

“May our sons be like healthy plants as they grow and mature, And may our daughters be like the corner pillars that decorate a palace. May our storehouses be full with abundant supplies of every crop, And may the flocks of our fields multiply into thousands and tens of thousands! May our cattle be strong and productive, without miscarriage, without loss, and may there be no riots or protests in our streets!”

The blessings of God are coming one upon another for the season has changed in a significant way, but those old pesky thoughts must be removed and cast down quickly, for what God is doing was His idea and He is not going to let some old lie hinder the new things He is giving to us. Cast it down, it’s not allowed in this new season. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org
