"Jesus said to him, 'If you can believe, all things are possible to them that believe.'" (Mark 9:23)
It is time to change your mindset, and renew your thoughts and ways of thinking. God never intended for us to live according to the world's system and ways of doing things. He said that we are to live by FAITH (Hebrews 10:38), because without it, it is impossible to please Him. He wants those who call on Him to believe in Him, and trust that He rewards those who diligently seek after Him. (Hebrews 11:6)
God is looking for people of faith. If you can renew your mind and thoughts toward the things of God, you can change your world. Changing your mindset can change your circumstances because your mind is powerful. It has the power to bring life or to bring destruction, because everything starts with a thought. How you think determines how you live. Joshua 1:7-8 is a perfect example of how to change your mindset: 1) be strong and courageous, 2) be careful to obey the Bible, 3) do not turn from the Bible to the left or right, 4) do no let the Book of the Law depart from your mouth, and 5) meditate on the Word of God day and night.
The imagination of man is like a canvas. What you imagine is painted on the canvas of your mind. Once you paint a picture in your mind you start to believe those thoughts, speak those thoughts, act on those thoughts, and ultimately change things (whether good or bad; right or wrong). You will never succeed with an inferior mindset. You must know who you are. In fact, the first giant you may need to defeat is "you – your mindset." Make a decision to become who God says you are. It doesn't matter what others think or say about you, it's about how you see yourself.
God promised victory and protection for you and your family, but your enemy will not just let it happen; you must fight for the promises God has provided for you. Sometimes we need a good fight, and we are well able to defeat our giants. Jesus has already destroyed the works of the devil; we just have to walk in our son-ship and exercise our authority over the enemy. The fight is already fixed. In fact, the outcome has already been declared because God has already made the way for us to have victory – through Jesus Christ. So keep moving forward toward your destiny, because others may be depending on you. Don't stay where you are; get to your promised land.
God honors people who have faith in Him. Once you make that commitment to follow Him, don't turn back; stretch your faith. There is greatness in you, and you will win! Faith comes by hearing the Word of God. The more you hear, the more you believe. Get around people who talk faith and believe God. Living a life of faith doesn't come overnight, but if you will commit to the Word, become a student of the Word, and begin to apply the Word to your situations and circumstances, change will come. Remember, all things are possible to those who believe; to those who have the faith to trust God.
