Start Each Day With God - Inspirational & Motivational Video

the problem the problem is that you don't see yourself the way God sees you ultimately what happens to us is determined by what happens in us for his a man thinketh within himself so is he this is why the bible says in proverbs 23 verse 7 for as a man thinketh within himself so is he any successful person in any endeavor well they may be in business sports or ministry is confident within themselves [Music] not one Olympic gold medalist won their gold medal by accident they all had a belief within them so and they all

had a belief in the ability that they had for his a man thinketh within himself so is he that's why the Bible says in Philippians 4 verse 8 whatsoever things are true whatsoever things are honest whatsoever things are just whatsoever things are pure whatsoever things are lovely whatsoever things are for good report think on these things the Bible is giving us the correct mindset for us to have in order to attract good things into our lives you attract your circumstances into your life by how you think essentially you attract who you are and as a

child of God it is vitally important you know who you are and who you belong to Hosea said God's people are destroyed for the lack of knowledge now notice he didn't say because the Devils agreed he's so powerful and he just went over you roughshod you just can't do anything about it that's the reason that God's people who was taught no he didn't say that he said God's people are destroyed for lack of knowledge failure to have knowledge and understanding and because of that they're destroyed one of the most wonderful things about the Bible is

that it is full of God's promises within the Bible their exclusive promises and non-exclusive bonuses for example a non-exclusive promise is psalms 145 verse 9 the loan is good too his compassion rests on all he has made whether you love the Lord or hate rule whether you believe in Him who don't believe in it this promise is for you the Lord is good too however their exclusive promises to the children of God Psalms 37 verse 23 the steps of a good person are ordered by the Lord this is a promise reserved for a child of

God the steps of a good person awarded by the Lord now what does it mean if the steps of a good person are ordered by the Lord all it means is that they are designed this local person will take a piece of clay and put it on his spinning and spins around it with his fingers he designs what he wants to create let's just put that into perspective the creator of the universe the pinnacle of all power and authority took time to order your steps you mattered that much to the Lord God Almighty that he

would order your steps listen to what the psalmist said in Psalms 139 verse 14 I phrase for I'm fearfully and wonderfully made wonderful are your works my soul knows it very well my frame was not hidden for you when I was being made in secret intricately woven in the depths of the earth your eyes saw my unformed substance did you hear what he said before you even came into the world before your fingers and your eyes and your toes and your hands were even fully developed before your first heart beat God had intricately woven you

your mother simply became the Gateway for you to enter the earth you are not a genetic accident or a mistake you are divinely fashioned by a sovereign God who major just like you are you don't have to spend your life stressing about me anyone else no one can walk like you do no one sees the world like you do because God intricately woven you to be exactly who you are does that not bring great joy into your heart to know that God specifically made you and that you are not some duplication of somebody else but

you're an original in God's sight the heartbreaking thing about this is that so many children of God don't know this about themselves I was reading a social science paper and saw a study which interesting they had conducted a survey in several first world countries on both males and females the results shocked me the survey asked participants what is your number one problem the number one problem wasn't money the number one problem was that they didn't like themselves they didn't like their bodies they didn't like their height they didn't like the way they looked they thought

they were ugly inept and had poor self images of themselves this should not be your mentality as the body of Christ we have been given the violin which has scripture after Scripture which tells us as children of God who we are and who we belong to one major just exactly as he wanted to make you are not the second-rate nobody who was somebody fashioned in the likeness of God's design and don't you ever be intimidated by what you can or can't do you are precious to God he has divinely fashioned molded you exactly how he

wants you to be Psalms 139 I praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made you are fearfully and wonderfully made just imagine how wonderful and how different your life would be if you believe this was wouldn't it be amazing if you believed this verse wouldn't you walk different you talk differently if you just believe this one verse you would walk with your head held up high in confidence knowing that you are fearfully and wonderfully made you wouldn't be intimidated by anyone else at any time the creator of the universe the pinnacle of all power

and authority took time to order your steps imagine that much to the Lord God Almighty that he would order your steps if a man be in Christ Jesus he is a new creature the image of God has been completely restored in that man when the Lord Jesus Christ came to this world he came to bring the image of God back to man and time that had lost the man Satan hates that he despises you if you're born again because you are in the image of God he's changing the image of this world the Bible says

Christ is formed in you if you're a born-again believer that the Holy Ghost form is Christ in you in other words he makes you a little Christ you're not Christ you're not the Son of God you never will be but you are a little Messiah in that sense because through you the world can be born again no you're not that your body is the temple of God If any man destroy the temple of God him will God destroy you think about what you have been given how you have been blessed what we are in the

sight of God when God looks at a man he's not looking at an angel and he's not looking at a cherubim nor a Seraphim he's looking at a man when I say man I said in the generic sense of mankind male and female now the amazing thing about the human conscience is this but even if you don't believe what I'm saying you believe what I'm saying but even if you reject the truth of what I'm saying there is rooted inside you a conviction which you can suppress with the years but which is there nonetheless which

is telling you that these things are so jesus said by your words you will be justified and by your words you will be condemned you settle your destiny by the words you speak many many of us as Christians are very careless and delinquent in the use of our tongue [Applause] people say I'm dying to see don't ever say that Americans say I was tickled to death don't say them it's not a laughing matter I can understand you come on but never say anything about yourself that you wouldn't want Jesus to make don't don't underestimate yourself

because God thinks you're precious he invested the blood of Jesus in you when you are quote humble and criticize yourself what you're really doing is criticizing God's handiwork because if the Bible says we are his workmanship how dare you criticize the workmanship pride is a tremendous problem with Christians but another problem that's just as great is underestimated not for what we are but for what God has made [Music]
