Are You Ready To Be Overtaken?
Are You Ready To Be Overtaken?
“Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the Lord your God! Deuteronomy 28:1-2
Overtaken defined: to pass, to surpass, to come from behind and get in front of or before you.
Have you ever been in a race and you were winning the race? You were ahead of all of the other runners. It seemed that you had this win in the bag and the finish line was in sight. Then all of a sudden another runner comes up beside you and proceeds to pass you. They have overtaken you, finished the race ahead of you and were waiting on you as you got to the finish line.

Is God Testing You?
“So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you have to endure many trials for a little while. These trials will show that your Faith is Genuine.
It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold though your Faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your Faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much Praise and Glory and Honor on the Day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the Whole World.” (1 Peter 1:6-7)

Have you ever felt that God had abandoned you? Have you ever felt that you’ve called and called God, but He’s not answering? You are going through one of the toughest periods of your life and the One with all the answers is not talking. What do you do when this happens? The first question that you have to ask yourself is why is God silent?
Perhaps there is too much ‘background noise’ for you to effectively hear God. Background noise such as people giving you worldly advice and not Godly advice. Background noise such as unconfessed sin in your life, or your MP3 player or your television, etc. The one thing that you must do is to remove those things from your presence. Get in a quiet place to meditate on God’s Word. (Psalm 119:11) Continue reading

Do You Know Who You Are?
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” Jeremiah 1:5

Have you ever been down? Have you ever felt lost or unsure about yourself? Have you ever felt unsure about your purpose? It is very easy to let life make you doubt yourself. Sometimes things don’t go the way that you want them to go. Sometimes people disappoint you. Quite often, life can be disappointing as well. As the commercial states – “Sometimes life comes at you fast.”
When this happens you have to look at the things that are not seen rather than looking at the things that are seen. You have to see yourself as God sees you. You must remember who you are in Christ. You are not stupid. You are not dumb. You are not weak. You are not whatever the world may be calling you.
You are not to be defeated, downtrodden or depressed. You are not to be fearful, frightful or fainthearted. You are a child of God! You are too blessed to be stressed! Your Heavenly Father loves you so much so that He knows the number of individual hairs on your head. In order to live a full abundant life, you have to know who you are in Christ Jesus.
Don’t live your life being who the world says that you are. Live your life being who God says that you are. When those days come that you don’t feel the best or when you feel down think about the promises that God has made to you. Remember who you are in God’s eyes. When those days come, look in the mirror and repeat the things that God says that you are.
Look in the mirror and say: I am Anointed! I am Blessed! I am crucified with Christ! I am Delivered! I am Established to the end! I am Favored! I am Glorified with Christ. I am the Head and not the tail! I am an Intercessor! I am Justified!
I am a King’s kid! I am Loved! I am Mighty in Christ! I am an Overcomer! I am full of Peace! I am Redeemed! I am Set free! I am the temple of the Holy Spirit! I am Unique! I am Victorious! I am His Workmanship! I am what God says that I am!!!
Always remember and never forget that God made you! He knows your every strength and your every weakness. He knows your ups and your downs. And more importantly He loves you and predestined you to be conformed to the image of His Son, Jesus Christ!
Be blessed,
Bern
