What do you choose to see?

It is our responsibility as Christians to live out the lives that God intended for us to live through the application of His word. It is through you and me my friend that others will be drawn to God. We have to let our lights shine as the beacon of hope for the lost. But how can we do that if we are lost ourselves? We all go through trials and tribulations in the world like everyone else, but what makes it different for us is that God already told us that He has overcome all of them so we need not worry about having trials and tribulations defeat us, or dwell in them for long periods of time like the people of the world are.

So why does it seem like Christians are the main ones struggling with problems over and over again, what are we choosing to see?

I Peter 3:10 (KJV)
For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile.

We have to start seeing good days ahead of us instead of doom and gloom in our lives. It’s hard to hear fellow Christians complaining about everything that’s going wrong in their lives, and then they say I’m going through; just pray for me. Many people would not need prayer if they just saw their situation a little differently.

Proverbs 18:21 (KJV)
Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

As a result of not seeing good days we speak curses into our own lives through complaining; I’m never going to graduate from school, my marriage is horrible, I don’t think God is listening to me, I just know I’m going to lose my job, I’m broke, I’m sick, etc…. curse after curse after curse. We have to change our vision of what we see for ourselves and as a result it will change our speech patterns.

Instead of seeing your marriage destroyed, start to picture yourself and your spouse happy like never before, and existing together as one. See yourself graduating from school at the top of your class, start to see your body healed of whatever sickness may be inside of it, and picture yourself prosperous and wealthy instead of broke and disgusted. If you want a good life you have to see it first.

You are probably wondering how does it work; easily, start to see yourself coming out of whatever it is your dealing with, and start to speak positive words over that situation, literally. When you begin to seek God about that situation with your new positive thoughts, then your vision will align with His vision. If you go to God with a negative vision He probably won’t move on your behalf because you all are on two different pages. God see’s you prosperous, but if you don’t see yourself that way than how do you expect to become what you don’t see.

Whatever the situation is you’re going through, you can reverse it just by obtaining a new vision and speaking positive words over it. When God is seeing that you are honoring the principals in His Word, you will start to see Him move for you in a way like you never have before. He will start to give you strategies to apply to that situation; He will turn your marriage from destruction to bliss. It works every time; just believe it will work for you.

I remember when I was in college in Detroit, MI. I used to always say to myself “man, I’m never going to finish college”, and I used to think that if I ever did it would be by the skin of my teeth. So while I was living and going to school in Detroit, I never excelled academically in college because I had the wrong vision. It wasn’t until I finally went to live and attend school in New York where I started to institute God’s way of handling situations. My vision about college changed, I would tell myself that I am going to finish the rest of my BA degree program in two years and I am going to graduate at the top of my class. Now, my vision was in line with God’s vision. God saw me honoring His word so in return He honored me, as I would pray, He would give me studying tips and strategies for my classes and He even sprinkled a little of His studying anointing on me.

While in college I adopted study habits that I never had before in my entire life. I would go to the library and spends hours upon hours studying and doing homework, and I enjoyed it dearly even until this day. That was God equipping me with everything I needed to carry out the vision.

As a result, I graduated in exactly the time I said I would and I graduated in the top percentile of my class. I don’t know about you but God and I are hooked for life.

Let’s start seeing what God sees for our lives.
