I was talking to my sister about a new life-changing event happening in her life right now. The conversation went from excitement to uncertainty in the blink of an eye. So, what happened? Reality began sitting in and suddenly, she wasn’t so sure about the life-changing event. This new thing happening in her life will change the trajectory of her and her children’s lives forever. I’m talking about stability, financial freedom, and breaking generational curses. A breakthrough! She should be excited right?
As we continued to talk, I began feeling so heavy in my spirit that fear was the factor. This would be her first time entering into such success. She felt as if she didn’t deserve it. I had to remind her of the many sacrifices she has made over the last few years just to achieve what has now manifested in her life. I told her, “It’s here! You cannot turn back now.” I wasn’t telling her that she cannot turn back because she has a year or two left, I was referring to the fact that it is weeks away.
I began to speak life into her and rebuke the spirit of fear. When the enemy knows that you are on the brink of your breakthrough, blessing, and miracle, he will start planting seeds of doubt early on. He will have you second-guessing your promise. You’ll begin thinking things like, “Am I qualified for this,” “What if I mess everything up,” “I still have time to back out.”
If you believe that you are disqualified, then you will be. Believing you’re going to mess everything up? You will. If you think there is still time to back out, you’re probably right, but all the blood, sweat, and tears would have been for nothing.
By the end of our conversation, my sister found a new confidence. I told her to “Speak those things which are not, as though they were” (Romans 4:17). Since the enemy cannot take our blessings away from us, he will try to convince us to give up on it ourselves – causing us to forfeit the promises made.
This week and weeks to come, speak life into your circumstances, embrace change, set high expectations of the promises of God for your life, and kill worry by keeping the faith. God will never give you a promise that you are not qualified for. Whatever He puts in your heart or moves in your spirit is already predestined over your life. That means that in the spiritual realm, it is already done. Our faith moves God and allows our promises to manifest here in the physical realm.
That thing keeping you up at night and causing you to worry and overthink, quiet and rebuke the noise and distractions. Your breakthrough will happen quickly so you must prepare now. It is your time to rise because you were created for such a time as this!
