Don’t let a limited mindset keep you from the new things God wants to do in your life. If you’ll get in agreement with His promises, He will make things happen that you couldn’t make happen on your own.
What’s holding us back many times is our own thinking. You can’t have a new life with old thinking. Start believing bigger, dreaming bigger, expecting bigger.
Take the limits off God and take the limits off yourself. Who says you can’t do something great, who says you can’t start your own business, who says you can’t get well, who says you can’t break that addiction, who says you can’t go where no one in your family has gone? God is calling you to be a trend-setter, a difference-maker, a barrier-breaker.
God took David, a shepherd boy, from a low-income family, and turned him into a king. He gave Abraham and Sarah a baby when they were almost a hundred years old. He healed my mother from terminal cancer; He gave us the Compaq center when all the odds were against us. He has things in your future that will amaze you. Paul said in Ephesians, “In the ages to come, we would see the surpassing greatness of God’s favor.” We are living in the day Paul talked about. We are in the ages to come. This is when God has far and beyond favor, favor that you’ve never seen.
There’s nothing more powerful than a changed mind. You can change jobs, change relationships, change your looks. The calendar can change, we can go into a new year, but if our thinking is the same, nothing will be different. Why don’t you change your mind? Break out of those ruts that have held you back. Have a new perspective. God is putting an end to what’s restricted you. No more wandering, no more seeing the Promised Land and not experiencing it. You’re about to go into your Promised Land. It’s going to be better than you imagined. You’re going to see houses that you didn’t build, vineyards that you didn’t plant. Promises that you’ve given up on are still going to come to pass. Dreams that seem impossible are still going to happen.
God said in Psalms, “Open your mouth wide and I will fill it.” You’re not limited by how you were raised, by what didn’t work out. If that was going to stop your purpose, God wouldn’t have allowed it. It’s a test. Are you going to settle for the cup, live with a limited mentality, or are you going to get rid of that cup and believe for the greatness God put in you?
