SELF TALK SERIES: NEVER GIVE UP

Welcome to Women of Valour which is about
YOU
experiencing your freedom in Christ, being set free,
experiencing the love of God, and opening your blinded eyes
Isaiah 61:1

In the Dallas Ravens football game tonight, they were in a battle. The Ravens had the upper hand seemingly because they had beat the Cowboys 4 times straight. The Cowboys were in the underdog position because they had lost 4 straight games to this team.

Potential Ravens Perspective: This is going to be an easy win because we have beat them 4 times in the past. (1st snapshot below)

Potential Cowboys Perspective: We can just fold because we CANNOT beat this team. Then their mindset would be a self-fulfilling prophesy. (2nd snapshot below)

Reality check for both teams: We are in a brand new battle and this is a new game. We (either team) cannot take this lightly. 

This is the same way we have to face our battles in life. We face challenges each and every day. We are beat up by our challenges many times but WE CAN"T GIVE UP!!! 

What is your perspective concerning your situation?
What is your reality check?



                               
In this video, I speak about "snapshots' and "pictures of a moment in time".

You need the HOLY SPIRIT!!!YOU CANNOT DO THIS ALONE!!! 
If you do, it is called behavior modification and it will NOT last. 
I have tried it many times.


I LOVE YOU, LADIES
BUT GOD LOVES YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN EVER COMPREHEND!!!

******************
PRAYER: Daddy, Open our eyes to see ourselves the way You see us. Give us the strength to move past our snapshots and moments in time that have kept us bound. Help us bring our problems to You instead of trying to figure out and mess things up. Father, set the captives free within us. Show us that our prison doors have already been opened by You through Jesus the Christ. Give us Your wisdom to help us walk out our freedom in Christ is very real and practical ways. Let your Word come alive to and within each one of us like never before. It is Your Word that we need to change our perspective and situations. Show us that we are made wonderfully complex by You! Open our eyes, ears, and heart to see and listen to You. Holy Spirit, help us see the snapshots for what they are and move forward from them. We touch and agree with You, Holy Spirit, for the testimony that we can share concerning the new perspectives You have given us. In Jesus' Name, Amen!!!

QUESTIONS:

What is your snapshot or moment is time?

Are you willing to move past your snapshot today?

I pray something you read touched your heart to walk closer to God.

  1. I haven't watched the video yet but I like that you've taken to making videos either as opposed to or in addition to written posts. I think it's a cool change. I've been thinking of posting an oringinal song on my blog in a video after seeing some of your video posts.

    1. Rayven, you should DEFINITELY do it!!! You have an AMAZING voice! God has blessed you with it and it should not be kept to just you. You never know what God will do with it. I know your song 'Soar...Not Today' is truly an inspiration to me. I play it periodically and it blesses my socks off every time I hear it. Thank you for your comment. It is appreciated!!!
