The focus on the 8th in my booklet 30 Thoughts For Victorious Living was PURSUE YOUR VICTORY. This one thing I do, forgetting what lies behind, I press on towards the mark...~Philippians 3:13-14 We all look behind us on occasion...and some of us look back into the past way more than we ought to. I can honestly say I have become a whole lot better at leaving the past where it belongs...in the past. The booklet says, just like Joyce Meyers has said, "Its is time to develop a warriors mentality and proactively pursue the happiness, health, and peace that God has promised in His Word." I don't know about you but I desire to have all that God says I am entitled to have as His child. I have a book of God's promises. If you don't have one...get one...it is so wonderful to read and learn what God has promised us when we are born again. I intend to PURSUE MY VICTORY to the fullest...do you?

Today is the 9th so that means I am still 2 days behind with the posts from the booklet 30 Thoughts For Victorious Living. Although I am caught up with the days for this month....smiles. The focus on the 7th was YOU ARE APPROVED. Before you were ever formed in your mother's womb, I saw you and approved you. ~Jeremiah 1:5 It is so wonderful to know that not one of us is a mistake. We were not only created in His image...but we are the apple of His eye. Its so great to know that YOU ARE APPROVED! God loves us and approves of us unconditionally. God is a forgiving God. He is also fair...we do reap what we sow but He is fair. It is a blessing not to worry whether or not we are good enough. The next time the enemy tries to belittle you...let him know YOU ARE APPROVED by Almighty God Himself! I thank God for His approval and unconditional love He has for me. Praise God!

The focus on the 6th day in the 30 Thoughts For Victorious Living booklet was BE JOYFUL ALWAYS. I try to BE JOYFUL ALWAYS but I can honestly say I struggle in this department. Like David, we are to bless the Lord at all times and praise should continually come out of our mouth. The Bible tells us to stay full of joy no matter what we are facing. I will definitely work on this...to BE JOYFUL ALWAYS. I am able to praise God and be thankful through anything, I am just not always joyful. The Bible also tells us that the joy of the Lord is our strength. That is why satan works so hard  to try and steal our joy. I don't want to be worn down with defeat and discouragement until I am feeble and weak. I will be mindful to BE JOYFUL ALWAYS! I will by Gods grace be strong!

I am a bit behind as you know...due to device issues so the focus on the 5th was STAND STRONG DURING ADVERSITY. Put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground. ~Ephesians 6:13 During times of adversity and difficulty is when we grow. God uses these times as a teaching tool...experience is the best teacher. Just by remaining faithful an to STAND STRONG DURING ADVERSITY will allow God to promote me to new levels of victory and live the abundant life He has promised me when it is my season. Awesome! To the very best of my God given ability...I will pass every test and STAND STRONG DURING ADVERSITY!

Yesterday my laptop would not allow me to post anything. Now I owe you and myself 2 posts...smiles. I will only do one tonight. At the moment it is behaving but I don't know for how long. The Focus of day number 4 of the 30 Thoughts For Victorious Living focused on SPEAK WHAT YOU SEEK. Declare what is to be. ~Isaiah 45:21 I need this desperately! Sometimes it feels like my head is going to burst with knowledge. I am trying my best to create, with God's help of course, a compartment for each and every thing I have learned during my journey. The wonderful thing is I will be able to go back and refresh my mind by rereading the posts. If I am going to live a life of victory...as I have posted before...I must speak positive words of faith. I need to also be able to back that faith up with God's Word. Learning to be an over comer in the face of adversity is not always easy but I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me (and so can you.) ~Philippians 4:13 I thank God for His Word and His knowledge and I thank the Holy Spirit who will help me retain it all and be a doer of the Word and not just a hearer. I will SPEAK WHAT I SEEK.

Day 3 of the 30 Thoughts For Victorious Living focused on MAKE A PLAN. Commit to the Lord whatever you do and your plans will succeed. 
~Proverbs 16:3 I definitely need to MAKE A PLAN! As I have said before, those who fail to plan, plan to fail. Its not that I don't MAKE A PLAN, in fact, I make a lot of them. I do however have a hard time sticking to the plan or completing the plan. Help me Lord! Proverbs 4:25 says, "Keep your eyes fixed straight ahead. Don't look to the left and don't look to the right." That means to cut all the distractions. I am always getting distracted...often distracting myself...sigh. I will work on that...self motivation. Do you need to MAKE A PLAN? Make a plan today that will lead you to your God given destiny...it may not be the perfect plan...but with God's guidance we will arrive.
