how can you be the person you want to be?

the person that you know you outta be.

when we give our lives to God, he gives us our purpose, our destiny.

but somewhere down the line we lose track of where we're going.

its not enough to be a good person and live right. thousands of people who are not christian do that as well. how am i and how are you making a difference as a christian and are you and i really moving toward the destiny our God has kept for us? that's something to think about.

its not easy but in God its possible. i make a zillion mistakes everyday. despite the fact that i know what He wants from me, i mess up sometimes. its not that i'm not trying or I've given up on my purpose, its just that i need to try harder. you and i need to make that extra effort to be who He wants us to be. and come on, we outta be making that much effort. sometimes i feel helpless like i really need God to hold my hand and forcefully walk me through 'things' because i know i don't have the strength to do it. but what i really forget is that He promised He'd never leave my side. He promised he'd be right next to me holding me. He promised. and folks, the good news... He doesn't lie. hah! in your and my forgetfulness of His promise we let our negativity overpower us.we let the enemy tell us its over for us, that we can't be everything God wants us to be. a christian's typical answer to such a problem (read; not being able to be the person they're meant to be ) would be getting prayed for. and that's good. but when i said: we need to try harder to be who we're supposed to be i meant try ourselves. the word of God tells us we have the power of His word. He has empowered us to say things and make them happen. by the power vested in me by my lord Jesus Christ, I can command things to happen. the same is true for you and for all who know Jesus as their personal savior. so when you're struggling to be who you are in Christ, when you're trying to discipline your life according to Jesus then ; firstly stop struggling, don't run around asking for help, don't get flustered. you have the answer to the problem. open your mouth to rebuke the obstacles in Jesus name. why? well, cause you have the POWER! and who is it that gives you the power? that's Jesus Christ , alright. and He's standing right next to you.
every morning when you wake up say it to yourself out loud that nothing can stop you from being who you wanna be in Jesus. believe in it. its as certain as the sun rising every morning and setting at dusk. don't worry about falling, He'll be right there to catch you.

keep the Faith.....
