“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God” Romans 12:2, NKJV.
There are those of us who blame everyone but ourselves for where we are. We blame the economy, the government, the poor upbringing, the lack of role models, and on and on. We find many reasons to feel no sense of responsibility for where we are. It’s everyone else’s fault. Honestly, when will the excuses stop?
The truth of the matter is this: Nothing changes as long as we play the blame game. Nothing changes as long as we sit and do nothing. God is not a magician who waves His wand and now all of sudden we are where we’re supposed to be in life. We have to do what’s required.
The first step is to change our thinking by renewing our minds with God’s word. A lifetime of thinking wrong isn’t going to change overnight just because you felt inspired. It’s going to take some reprogramming and work at finding what God says and adopting His mindset. Everything starts in the mind.
The second step is to change what we’re saying. Are you saying anything positive? Life-filled positive words produce positive actions. It produces a fruitful life.
The third step is to change what you’re doing. It’s insanity to keep doing the same thing and expect a different result. At some point, we have to accept what’s not working and do something different.
The Bible is clear…
A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest—and poverty will come on you like a thief and scarcity like an armed man. Proverbs 6:10-11
Whoever disregards discipline comes to poverty and shame. Proverbs 13:18
All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty. Proverbs 14:23
The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty. Proverbs 21:5
Those who work their land will have abundant food, but those who chase fantasies will have their fill of poverty. Proverbs 28:19
Prayer: Father God, I thank you for revealing to me your truth and for showing me what I need to do to change. Lord I take responsibility for where I am. I decide today to change my thinking, to change what I’m saying and change what I’m doing. Help me to make the practical steps of taking your word and renewing my mind with it. I am who you say I am and I can do what you say I can do! In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Amen and amen! Until we take responsibility of our minds of our words and of our doings we stay bound to our circumstances. God is a God of righteousness and wants to help us but He will only move when we are prepared to be obedient to His word. His word says that our minds have to be renewed. How? Use scripture when wrong thinking wants to paralize you. I have the mind of Christ I have been crusified with Christ the life I now live I live in Christ. I have put off the old man and put on the new man. Everything has become new I am a new creature in Christ. No weapon formed against me shall prosper I live and move in Christ. The life I now live I live in Christ. I live in the covenant God has made with Jesus and this covenant cannot be broken. The blood of Jesus sets me free He has paid the full prize for my redemption. Nothing can seperate me from God’s love. I belong to God and nothing can take me out of His hand. By His stripes I am healed. I have been set free through the crucifiction. Jesus has taken all my shame all my sins all my sicknessess on Himself on the cross. I give Him all my weaknessess and receive His strength . I forgive am forgiven and live now free from condemnation. Therefore there is now no condemnation for them who live in Christ and live not according to the flesh but to the spirit. Thank You Father for giving Your Son so that I can live a life of freedom in Him. I will worship You and sing praises to Your name for You have drawn me from the miry clay. I live and move and have my being in You. Glory to Your name. Glory to You Who was and is and is to come! I will always love You! Amen.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. starting with renewing my mind in scripture daily. My. Was in need of an. Overhaul. My braining need washing cleansed by blood of the lamb. Changing my thinking from negativity to a positive light. When anf how over twenty years ago. I was given less than two weeks to live. I was a hopeless case strung out on some pretty heavy duty drugs pain medication beyond measure. I was like a walking breathing drug storw you could hear rattle rattle ca ching ca ching now I walk My presence brings an incredible light a sense of safety and trust. My laughter is contagious. Deep deep belly laughs. When I teach I get spiritual authority it really does change the aatmosphere. You can hear a pin drop. Mindsets are changed are challenged. Acknowledgement, sensitivity. A pease that surpasses all understanding.. My God has filled me a saved me and healed me and changrd jow I thought. you see people had beeen pointing me to God for quite some time. i didnt think i needed God. I really thought I could take or leavethese drugs.. I really thought i woulsnt survive without these drugs. Irt was always a trade my sanity my mind to think clear vs numbing physical pain, which I later discovered I was full of emotional pain. So hear Iam bout eighty pounds enough drufs in me to kill ten people. And no hope body shutting down. I had eventually prior to this gone on a search looking for God. I would see the peace the laughter the glow i wondered how could these people be so happy. Didnt know how to pray , how to talk to God. I started to get down on my knees.. Always trying to talk to this God in the bathroom. Privacy now I know why I gett some of my greatest revelations and answers in the bathroom. And I discovered tonight ehile praising and worshipping God and singing how great Ivsoubded the ecoes in the bathroom were incredible. I was even brushing my teeth still singing it was incredible. Divine alignment.My voice os coming back and bettet in such a short time. So back to my story . i remember crying angry hurtful tears the end of my rope. No hope. A hopeless caseI had dabbled in drugs from a very young age as well as the occult from a very young age. You see satn finds so many open doors and entrances gateways. Tv radio songs what we watch and read and listen.. Even thriugh our own families on various levels. But Ivwas involved in a car accident. At a young age. Never to walk again normally. My neck wasnt quite broken however they wanted to do surgery immediately take a piece of my hip bone and fuse ti my neck which would hold it up staraight never turn . that was over thirty years agi.. Fifty percent paralysis. From neck surgery. My mom and I were both in agreement . we said no .i was in a neck brace for the next eighteen months bed ridden etc didnt want all those pills held off as long as I could you see I didnt take pills . I was barely a young adult. Druving my first car I bought. Had it for a fewyrs. It was a firebird reddy orange .fan the flames. I was a fireball, a fire cracker, a ticking time bomb waiti g to go off. Now im in the eactbsame position exceptt not full if anger and rage and hate venom foaming at the mouth. Gorgeous on the outside empty cold a hard. But ann innocent child within me tucked away now im so full of love and light busting at the seims waiting tovexplodr awaitiing my marching orders awaiting to be catapulted into my destiny so I can unlock doors for many for the masses for the one. You see I am.my brithers keepper . iam acvountable and I am responsible to take this gospal to the nation to tbe ends of the earth tobthe one across the internet ses to shing sea. For now dont despise small beginnings. I was told Ivwouldnt walk again maary work have kids. I was 21 yrs old at that time. i eventaually got so depressed I took the pills. Asking God why me why me well now I ask why not me. you see I had walkex tbrough alot from a youngcage in my family of origin addictions abuse verbal sexual etc. Ashamed of my birthright as my parents were not married. My mom was 18 when she had me. She is a great lady she is my best next God and esoeciall yer mother my dear grandmither who is now passed on. She showed me love the closet thing I knew Or felt. Next to God. Anyways i was depressed thay started so many adfictions open doirs things I never dreanmed I would dTo myself my family otbwrs peoplw closestbto. Betray their trust lie cheat steal abuse my body. Me asking God why my mom had remarried I was nine . whole bunch of mire nonsense and the hate grew on top of shame because of my relationship with my stepfather. i can now say we gave cone full circle. These same rooms that led me to God told me to pray for my enemies. You kidding me. But Ivdid daily for ten years. Now ive nominated my hometown MMA into. Krafthickeyville voting this weekend sun and mon another process somerhing im really proud of the process was great win or loose. The networking with mayor town milton my family families in thecarena i workedcwith from tbecarena I nominated in living memory of my brother. And I was able to honour my stepfather fir what he had done his contribution to freezing an ice rinkbfor us three kids toskate and olay hockey thw whole neighborgood. You see he was the one Inhated most next to myself. And I had missed my father who I have nit seen since I was six yrs old . that left such a void in my life. I had so much trauma growing yetbloiking perfectbon the outsise so emty and lonley on the iinside. I can now say I am not an emoty shell of a woman I ham a woman of substance a force to be reckoned with. relentless yet very senstive a gentle loving humble.soul. in love with my Savior . so you see I defied the odds God is good. I walked again. I worked again I married ive lost seven childrenn not one to birth. But Gof brought children fir me to helpvraise from my young atcage of eight montgs grade eight tbrough highscool university and marriage when their mom died before she eas married at 21 of a brain tumoue. She was twin one older sister two youngwr. Their father diedvwhen tgectwins were six. I dint miss out on motberhood. Thesevtwovtwins were christian girls and honestly believevtgeyvwere stoll virgins until married. They had tocwithstandxalot in theor own home and cimmunitu growing up fir their chriatian chiices. Ive taken my young and older neices abd nepgews under my wing even old men . let me tell God is goid all the time. I have a posting tonight on C ol. chris Hadfields astranaut fiest from. canada. I mentioned him in my nomination. Feb 07 2016 just under the wire. Within the last hr so i typed his sigbt tonightcat 539 then collapswd into bed. See what hapoens. So I wale up and praise anx worship Gos I gwt my knees andbpeayer. I am refreshed go on the sight sight as he is fron my home town. Sorry on cell no spell tends too humpvaround like its owner battling innfectionbit left yesterday miraculously while interceeding for some . there was somevresidue left. Well tosay I woke it was worse like threecweeks go figurev. Thats another story you know you get one deliverance you hiuse sweptclean the demons go to abd frow across thecearth seeing who they can harass invade breakin rob kill destroy. A then they come back to the house swept clean with seven more powerful demmons. At the young age of car accident deeling soiey for myself dobt you ive tried God to make climv tge coprate latter in downtown toronto head office of one of our national banks at a young. Agw. Whats up God havnt Ive been through enough. Guess nit i was gettinf wreckless. I luved a double life prim and propwe yet partying a tom boy daredevil thrill seeker risk taker . so here we are im about to die no hope hopeless case fr can di no.more. my mind insane. So what do i do . i scream in anger I cry to God in that eoom I fell to my knees . and I aaid God if you are real show me. You see I dint grow up in religiin we were prorestant tge right to not practiae relugion abd really hard work ethics. Dont talk abiut God becauae then your really crazy. So as I hit tge fllor God came in rhe room Gosa bright white light. It was miraculeous. It was Gods love. It went from tge top of my head tthroygh my body to my hread. Hiw dod know I juat knew it changed my minsaet. I started to think difderently immediatty. i knew deep in my gut I was going yo be ok. He toiok my addictions anger rage and hate all at once. Now i had feelings didnt even know that. I had a consciencr. It had been seared I didnt kniw that. I felt shame when I went to throw a cigarette on the ground. That addiction i have fought through the years eaying addiction menvadduction relationahipvaddiction coseoendency etcxsex is love lie. So now how do tell anyone. Dont i open that book to a chapter of the foub of this group whonhasa similarvexoeriwnce
