He's Within Me

Everything that I'll ever need is within me. I can write my own future. I can live out my dreams. I can reach my goals. All that I have to do is BELIEVE. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me (PHIL. 4:13). All of my help is from God--and where is God? He's within me!

"Life is about pressing on despite the fear." Danielle Belton Being told 'no' does not carry the cold, harsh incredible finality that we've given that 2 letter word. It is simply "a suggestion that one should try something else", choose to do something different, or go an alternate route, if you will. We often take the word 'no' as the definitive answer. That the subject is finished, the fight is over, the victory is won by someone other than me. It's not so. I have everything I need within me to write my own future, to live out my dreams, to right any wrongs, and to reach the goals I've set for myself. Despite fear, anxiety, embarrassment, or the disappointment of being told 'no', I must still press on. You see, there is more than one way to skin a cat. That's what the old folks say. And if that is true, then I must move in the direction of my goal, press pass the haters and the naysayers and all those negative conotations that go along with being told 'no'. 'No' is not the final answer when you have a promise from God. But the enemy wants you to think that it is. When you're told 'no' that's the time to pick yourself up, dust yourself off and go to war. Go back to the drawing board if you must, but go back because you believe. Go back to school for that Master's degree, because you believe. Go back to those you've wronged or you feel have wronged you-- apologize and set things in order, because you believe. You must believe and receive the promises of God-- for if God said it, then He is faithful to bring it to pass. That's His job. Our job is to believe then roll up our sleeves and go to work, for faith without works is dead. (JAMES 2:20).

I want to thank Danielle Belton, The Black Snob, for her quotes. She really inspired me to get back into my writing and to run on. You see, I've been wrestling with some things for too long. I really didn't realize it until I was talking with a friend one day about a business plan and she said to me, ' Miss simply beautiful' you act like you don't deserve this. That's when it dawned on me that I've spent too many nights crying, sent up too many 'dead air' prayers, and wasted too much time because I'd been brainwashed, hoodwinked, bamboozled into thinking that I do not deserve to have nice things in this life. THAT IS A LIE FROM THE VERY PITS OF HELL-- AND SATAN, I REBUKE YOU IN THE NAME OF JESUS!
As a child of God, I have health, wealth and riches untold. As long as I have the favor of God, I have favor among men. My God can do anything but fail--and He told me that He will never leave me nor forsake me. So, whatsoever I ask of Him, He will do it! And He gets the glory! (JOHN 14:13)
