I’m sure of it… :)

• 

I’ve been hearing the word “sure” for about two days now and this morning, after a very long week (ups and downs); I heard the phrase “I’m sure of it.” I asked myself, “what are you sure of?” I’m sure of whom I am, not only that, I am sure of whose I am. I am sure that as a daughter of a King, I don’t have to wrestle unnecessary matches (fights, struggles) here on earth. A lot of the thoughts that we have contributes to the trials we face. One wrong thought, one wrong memory, can send you in a whirlwind of directions.

Proverbs 4:23 tells us above ALL else (before you do anything else), guard your heart (mind), for everything you do flows from it. The heart and the mind are related. Your brain’s nervous system signals your heart to pump its blood, and your heart responds by delivering blood to your entire body, including to your brain. The steps you take to protect your heart are also ways to protect your mind. (Claret Medical ) We have to be mindful of what we allow to enter our hearts and minds.

If we are not anything else, be sure…sure that you will make it, sure that you are fearfully and wonderfully made, sure that you don’t have to go backwards (back to old relationships, back to old habits, back to things that mean you no good, back to living like hell, back to depression, back in a cage, etc), sure that you don’t have to live a life of poverty, sure that you have an inheritance, sure that there is a time and season for everything (Ecclesiastes 3). Stay SURE OF IT!

When those thoughts come, combat them with declarations based on the Word!

Example:

Negative thought: You’re broke and will always remain broke; you come from a bloodline of poverty.

Combative response: God’s word says that, “He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the beggar from the ash heap, to set them among princes.” (1 Sam 2:8). God has blessed me abundantly; so that in ALL things at ALL times, I have all that I need (2 Cor 9:8)!
