Today I reach for the more. This reach is further than what I have ever attempted.
Even typing those words gets me excited. The mere fact that I am reaching for, means that I am also believing for that which is far beyond what I have aspired to or are capable of doing. So, in order to accomplish this great feat, I need more than just myself as I am committing in this moment to reach beyond myself.
The mere goal in and of itself will not be able to be accomplished by the me that I was prior to my waking. It will require a new version of me to emerge that is fully relying on the power of the I AM to enable, to empower, to encourage me to complete this goal.
You see in order to envision and move in this goal, I must move into the unknown; I must become new.
My goal: to become her.
The woman that God has cast the vision to me that I am. Whom He formed me too in the womb.
I will seek God daily for instruction to ensure I'm on the path that is her. The old Jennifer died in my sleep. Apostle Jennifer has risen.
Let me identify clearly what has died so that I know what to continue to crucify daily as
these will be all the ways the enemy will try to bring back up.
fearful
undisciplined
distracted
unfocused
comfortable
avoidant
haphazard
lustful
weak
depressed
doubtful
defeated
victim
externally consumed
mindset, character, state of being died last night. In this moment, I eulogize her and say goodbye.
Looking at this list how can anyone make progress. This is a death minded individual not a destiny one.
All the trappings of the enemy to keep me in self-sabotage mode that I myself surrendered to and came into agreement with.
In times of challenge, when pressed to extreme, in the midst of crushing, there will be a breaking that occurs.
You have only two options at that point;
Remain broken and adopt the identity with characteristics of that which is broken (refer to list above)
See the breaking as an opportunity to tear down what was and to begin building anew.
There will be entities to assist you to do both.
The devil desires you to remain broken.
God wants to rebuild you.
Each require surrender, submission and agreement.
Which do you choose?
I choose to rebuild. To become:
strong
wise
impenetrable
locked in
laser focused
disciplined
authentic
tuned in
warrior
victor
assured
confident
intentional
hardened
Progressive
In hot pursuit
on fire
Machine who does what it is told.
No more operating out of feelings, emotions. No more playing ignorant. No more woe is me victim.
It is time to do what needs to be done.
Our God is a warrior. I am made in His image. Let me assume that image.
From Jesus:
Commit to it Jennifer. Let it not be optional for you. Make it 40 days. Give it a chance for it to take root. The enemy will be after you with every chance that He gets to pull you back into comfort and complacency-the killers of destiny. Do not let him. Make no mistake; you have declared war between the flesh and the spirit. The fight is on. Be prepared, Know that if God is for you who can be against you. I will help you. Just move forward into the new, past each day, past each hour but each moment. Here is where we need to get into the fine details, the refinement of time itself. Jennifer, the moment matters. Make the God decision in each moment that draws out and births the new you.
Question of the day
When you look at those two list of the identity to be crucified and the identity to become,
which one do you resonate with?
Know the crushing was meant to tear down a structure that was weak therefore unstable and unreliable.
Now that the crushing has been completed, now what will you do?
Will you live in this state or will you seek to rebuild on solid rock; on the foundation of the Lord?
You have had enough time to weep and wallow in despair.
It is time now to get up and take your destiny by force!!!
Get up now and claim what is yours!
Activity
Write your identity statement.
Who is it that you are right now?
Who is it that God has shown you that you are?
Decide to close the gap today.
You cannot hit a target that is not clearly defined.
What is the mission of the new you?
What are the new characteristics?
What are the new boundaries?
What is the new attitude, mindset?
What are the new goals?
Envision the new person. Clearly define the new person. Live into it daily.
