"I would urge you to see the truth of the situation you're in... That is my advice. It is not for me to tell you what you should have done or not done. The world in which you seek to undo the mistakes that you made is different from the world where the mistakes were made. You are now at the crossing. And you want to choose, but there is no choosing there. There's only accepting. The choosing was done a long time ago..." - Jefe in "The Counselor"

We all deal with consequences of our choices. The time to count up the cost is beforehand because hindsight is 20/20.

In other words, one can always see afterwards what action should or should not have been taken. There are times it is too late. Consulting God first can save a lot of regret.

 But he answered, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.’” Matt 4:4 WEB

I received new revelation from this scripture. In John 6:35 it states that Jesus is the bread of life. To live is to overcome, prosper, conquer and succeed. We cannot live the abundant life by only accepting Christ in our lives. We must say what Christ said about us and believe we have what we say.

Our words justify us or they condemn(Matthew 12:37). Death and life is in the power of the tongue(Proverbs 18:21a).

Romans 10 reads, "So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." Romans 10:17 WEB

True with most things. What you hear enough you will believe. Remember the old saying, if someone continuously tell the same lie they will believe it?

You are strongly influenced by others. Surround yourself with people who are stronger than you. If you are the smartest cookie in the bag, find another bag.

Discipline is an automatic response to where you should be. Train your thoughts. Thoughts manipulate intellect. Engrave your mind with new behavior.

Your attitude affects your altitude. Your situation might be a direct product of what you have been saying. Maybe it is a direct result of what you haven't been saying.

Say and believe what God says about you. He said you are healed (1 Peter 2:24), free(John 8:36) and have the victory (1 Corinthians 15:57).

=====================================

Scriptures:
1 Peter 2:24 "who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed."

John 8:36 "If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed."

1 Corinthians 15:57 "But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."

It is more important to understand your mission, not your position. God has a plan for your life and will maneuver your position. You might not be where you want to be but never despise small beginnings. Those steps provide lessons to learn along the way.

When you are mission driven, resources that were previously denied will be released. Position is for the mission and mission is for greater position. YEEEZZZ!!!

I learned there are only two times we come under spiritual attack: When doing wrong and when doing right. So no more "why me". lol

The difference is when you are doing wrong, you are fighting the devil and his cronies alone. When you are doing right, God and His promise has your back.

A door closing isn't always a bad thing, sometimes it is. A closed door yesterday doesn't mean it will be closed today or tomorrow. The same with an open door. It is all in timing. Especially, as we mature in the things of God. New level, new devil.

Constantly, re-evaluate the nature of your associations. That includes people, places and things. Ensure the attack you are experiencing isn't because you are doing something wrong. If it is, ask God's forgiveness and repent (get on the right track).

When your path is in line with God's path for you, everything will fall in place. He will fight the battle with you until it is won. When you wake up to start your day you want the devil to say, "OMG!!! She's awake!!! He's awake!!! They're awake!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

Life up your head, take your shield and sword (Word of God) and...

Make effort to get along with everyone. You will not like everyone and everyone will not like you. You can love without liking. Love because God does.

There will be disagreements. Some, personalities simply clash. No need to argue about everything. You don't have to convince anyone. Agree to disagree.

Sidebar: This is not agree to disagree, "I just have to agree to disagree because you are wrong". In fact, you don't have to say a thing. Smile, keep quiet and just "do you".

I started writing this and had no idea where it was headed. lol Then I saw this:
"And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;" 1 Thessalonians 4:11 KJV

In other words, "Shut up and mind your business". Hey, God said it, I only interpreted.
