POSTURED FOR SUCCESS...GOD'S WAY

     Women today are historically unlike any of her predecessors as our focus is on independence and individuality. In a high-tech society the world is at our fingertips. We have the ability to change everything from a stock portfolio to a couch cover with the click of a mouse yet within our lives we are losing the vision of destiny and purpose that was designed for us since the beginning of time.
     Although times and values have changed, God's purpose for you has not. Your age is of no consequence in God's Kingdom either. Some of you think you're too old to be of value, but it is quite the opposite. You've had to travel a lot miles to gain the experience and maturity needed to do what you need to so embrace the beauty and maturity you have. If you don't love you, you cannot love anyone else. Single or married, children or no children, God has a purpose for your life. You just need to be willing and obedient to His call. When you cultivate a relationship with Him, you're able to see everything in your life differently. He won't let you down. Your husband or boyfriend might, and your kids may drive you nuts, but there is a Peace that will help you through it all. His Grace is sufficient for you.
     You know there is something for you but you can't put your finger on it. Well, it's destiny calling. God seems a million miles away from your daily regimen; between changing the diapers, washing dishes or being in the boardroom you're distracted and just do not have time. But that nagging down within you won't go away. What you're fighting, is God wanting to position you where you need to be. He is ready to move you into a new realm of liberty that will empower and impart excellence into every facet of your life. What do you need to do you ask? Thought you'd never ask....you need to begin to: 

PRAY, ASK, BELIEVE, FORGIVE

Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins. Mark 11:24-25 (NIV)


TRUST HIM
     
  Trust in the Lord with all your heart
   and lean not on your own understanding;
  in all your ways submit to him,
   and he will make your paths straight. Prov 3:5-6 (NIV)

BE OBEDIENT

 Does the Lord delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices
  as much as in obeying the LordTo obey is better than sacrifice,
  and to heed is better than the fat of rams. 1 Samuel 15:22 (NIV)

LISTEN

   I will listen to what God the Lord says;
    he promises peace to his people, his faithful servants—
    but let them not turn to folly. Psalm 85:8 (NIV)


SURRENDER

Surrender your heart to God, turn to him in prayer,
14 and give up your sins—even those you do in secret.
15 Then you won’t be ashamed; you will be confident
and fearless. Job 11:13-15 (CEV)


I realize this seems very simplistic in a pessimistic world. But I love seeing God's Supernatural work in the natural. Faith and belief are ACTION words. You cannot not do something and expect Him to do everything. YOU CAN DO THIS! I have faith that you will. Will you experience trials and tribulation? Of course you will, but He gives you the strength.

Do me a favor. No matter what, never give up. Never listen to naysayers, they are hurting inside too. If people speak against you, so what, you don't need their opinions to validate who you are as a person.

Take action, take that 100% leap of faith and see what He will do for you.

Success is a heart matter, so posture God's way...Ninja Hugs! ~M
