Good
Morning!
God
has a beautiful "plan" for each and every one of us. Jeremiah 29:11
tells us that His plan is for our "good"! Well . . . LACK is
not "good"! So, then it is not God's will for us to suffer
"lack"! Never has been . . . never will be! Jesus told
us that it is the devil that came to rob, kill and destroy, but that He
(Jesus) came to give us "abundance"! If we belong to Jesus,
then "abundance" belongs to us! That is part of the covenant!
There
are many different reasons why Christians have "lack" in their lives
. . . I talked about one of them yesterday. Now, I want to talk about
some more of them, and I am sure that you will be able to relate to one or two
of those reasons. I, personally can relate to all of them
that I am going to talk about. This is why I can talk to you
about them . . . .because I have already "been there, done that"!
Some Christians
have "lack" in their lives because they have a
"lack-mentality"! I was one of those! I grew up in an
environment where there was never enough, or maybe just enough. I just
thought that was the way "life" was for everyone. So, it
became a "way of life" for me. In other words, I became
"lack-minded" instead of being "covenant-minded", and that
obviously stayed with me even after I turned my life over to The Lord and
began serving Him. I did not have a "revelation" of the
"covenant" that I had with The Lord. You know what?
It takes the supernatural power of the WORD OF GOD to "de-program"
that kind of "brainwashing"!
When
The Lord began to "reveal" His covenant to me, I made a
decision that I would no longer be "lack-minded" . . . I set my face
like a flint to be "covenant-minded" no matter what!! Think
about it! If you are "lack-minded", then you are going to talk
"lack-talk" and so "lack" just keeps hanging
around. However . . . when you are "covenant-minded", you
will begin to talk "covenant-talk"! And when you talk
"covenant-talk" . . . lack has to move out of your
"pasture", and then there is room for the covenant promises of
God to move in!!! Oh!! Somebody ought to be shouting right about
now!!!!!
Next
week, I will continue to talk about other reasons why Christians
experience lack in their life . . . stay tuned in ~~~~~~
Have
a Blessed Weekend! (get rid of that "lack
mentality"!) In His Love, Luanne
