Breakfast of Champions - Wednesday 18th March

Good morning.

 

Ephesians 3:20 (The Message)

God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us.

 

·         So we have established that He is both willing and able towards you.

·         We also know that when we reach the end point of our ability to imagine and dream concerning His plans for us He is just getting started and lives in the realm called exceedingly abundantly above and beyond what we can imagine or dream.

·         By Faith start to live more in His thoughts for you not your own, they are so much bigger!

 

Isaiah 55:8 (NKJV)

For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.

 

·         For years I thought this was a belittling statement made to let me know my place, “I am God up here and you are Andy mere human down there, my ways are high yours are low, my thoughts are great yours are little because I am God and you are my creation and that’s how it is”. Then one day I realized it was actually an invitation, it was God saying “yep my thoughts are so much higher but why don’t you come up and join me in mine”?

·         From that day I have been committed to exchanging my thoughts for His, weather those thoughts are about me, what I can do or how things could turn out.

·         He will always lift your dreams and plans to a higher place because as the heavens are higher than the earth so are his thoughts, the choice is ours again today, do I live in thoughts that are based on my mere earthly potential (what I am able to achieve by my ability or with the help of a few friends) or do I begin to dream and think bigger and higher (according to what can happen because God is with me and is the author of my destiny)?

 

Hey Champion, think big, think high, release your redeemed imagination to imagine what really can happen when a God who formed a universe is on your side, live extra large you only walk the pathway of your life on earth once!

 

Bless ya, have a great day
