I am sharing this with you select few because I know that we are moving from a place of wavering faith to an unquestioning faith that believes that anything is possible and can be achieved. I hope that these things i have learned in my meditation and prayer time will be of a blessing to you.
When the mind is made up or set on an object of achievement with unquestioning unwavering faith that it will keep moving in the direction of the object of which you want to achieve.
Did not our Lord and Savior say, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.
When your faith is small you still must be sure to have no doubt when you ask for anything.
When the mind is made up it keeps put you right back on track even when you are discouraged. The Clark Sisters sang a song called " Determination". I have listed this song in my Zune playlist as one of my fighting songs. When I began to feel a little too down or when I have been knocked down.
The songs first few lyrics say " A strong will and a made up mind, keep going power, and a constitution".
A made up mind is gives you the power of determination. When you have made up in your mind that you will accomplish anything the power of the made up mind comes together with the power of determination and is even more so strengthened even in bad times.
The Made up mind will cause you to keep fighting even when you're down. I was watching a UFC fight and noticed a fighter pinned down to the ground. There seemed to be know way out for him except for him to give in, but he had already said he was going to win the fight. So he put into action a move he learned called the death triangle by manuevering his legs over his opponents head to a point where he was using his legs to cause his opponenet the inability to breath. Not only did he get out from under but he also won the fight. After the fight was over on the DVD an instructor began to explain the move and said " Never count out a fighter just because he has been pinned down". I nearly jumped off the couch and shouted. Because that is exactly what was happening to me. The made up mind will cause you to use every move in your arsenal to get back up even when you are down. Don't forget to learn the moves though, or the made up mind will be useless.
The Made up mind will bring you closer to the Substance of All Good Things. Ok this is the particpatory part of the note. Nod your head yes to these statements.
God Inhabits the praises of his people right? When the praises go up, blessings come down, right? When you praise God you confuse the enemy, right? Oh Give thanks unto the Lord for he is good, right?.
If you want to be closer to God you have to remain thankful for what he has done in your life and you must be consistent about it. You must make up in your mind to "Bless the Lord at All Times". Make up your mind to remain in a state of gratitude, watch how your life will improve. Your life will improve because your attitude will improve because not only are you grateful but you are actually closer to God.
Well, my little letter is complete. I hope you have somehow been blessed by something I said. Continue to pray for me as well as one another. If you were tagged in this note it is because I know you've been feeling like me, somewhat in an uncomfortable place because everything you want is not in your hand ..YET. Keep the faith even when you feel like it's not happening.
Peace is the Blessing,
Scharlette
