Here is the key point. You will never go beyond the barriers in your own mind. If you think you cannot do something, then you never will. The battle is in your mind. If you are defeated in your mind, you have already lost the battle. If you do not think your dream will ever come to pass, they never will. If you do not think you have what it takes or rise up and set that new standard, it is not going to happen. The barrier is in your mind.
It is a wrong thinking pattern what keeps us imprisoned in defeat. And that is why it is so important that we think positive thoughts of hope, faith and victory.
Perhaps somebody has spoken negative words into your life. Maybe some so called experts have told you that you are never going to be successful, you are never going to rise to the top, and you just do not have what it takes to make it. Do not listen to those lies. If God is for you, who dares to be against you? Break through those limitations of the past and let your mind dwell on fresh, positive attitudes of faith. Breaking those harriers will change your life.
If you will break through the barriers in your mind and start stepping out in faith, you will go beyond those old barriers and the same thing will happen in your family. They will continue to go further than people ever once thought possible. And it will be because you were willing to step out in faith, setting a new standard, paving the way for future generations.
If you fail to break through those barriers of the past, run the risk of spinning your wheels, going around in circles. After all, God has prepared the land flowing with milk and honey. It was a place great abundance, a place of great freedom. But God’s people had been beaten down by their oppressors for so long, mistreated, used and taken advantage of, now even though God wanted to do a new thing, they could not conceive it. They could not make room for it in their own thinking. Instead of moving forward within attitude of faith, expecting good things, they instead on going around with a poor, defeated mentality. Around and around they went, focusing on their problems, always complaining, gritting about the obstacles standing between them and their destiny.
God finally jolted them out of their complacency. He said to them. You had dwelt long enough on this mountain. I believe God is saying something similar to us. You have been wallowing where you are long enough. It is time to move on, to let go past hurts, pains or failures. It is time to believe for bigger things. It is time for increase, time for promotion, time for supernatural favor. But if that is going to happen, you cannot keep going in circles, doing the same thing the same way year after year.
No matter what you have gone through in the past, no matter how many setbacks you have suffered or who or what has tried to thwart your progress, today is new day and God wants to so a new thing in your life. He has great things in store for you. Do not let your past determine your future.
Maybe you have lived in an abusive situation where somebody mistreated you, somebody walked out on you, somebody did you a great wrong. Please, so not inhibit the great future God has for you by dwelling on the pains in your past.
If you will keep the right attitude, God will pay you back double for your trouble. He will add up all the injustice, all the hurt and pain that people have accused you, the abuse and embarrassment and He will pay you back with twice as much joy, peace and happiness. That is God’s desire for you. But you must do your part and start excepting good things. Keep your mind moving in the right direction. You cannot have victim mentality and expect to live in victory. You cannot live in a perpetual pity party and then wonder why situations are not improving in your life.
