DONT LET THEM TAKE MORE FROM YOU!

DON'T LET THEM TAKE MORE FROM YOU.
Psalms 110:2
The Lord shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion:
rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.

Psalms 8:4-6
What is man, that thou art mindful of him?
and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels,
and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands;
thou hast put all things under his feet:

Philippians 3:14
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

What you look back to can change you from becoming the you who was supposed to come into a place of promise.

Looking and desiring what's behind can halt your journey in destiny.

Remember Lots wife.

When you keep feeling bitter, hateful and vengeful,
when you keep feeling pity, sorry and regret over what happened to you, 
over what life took from you, 
you make it take more from you. 

Nothing you went through, deserves more from you!

You got to let the past hurts, 
The past loses, 
Past failures, 
Past shame and betrayals stay behind you.

You've got to focus on the better person you can become and draw strength from that which the future holds for you, 
so you can become, what you were been fought against becoming.

When you fight what's smaller than you, it diminishes your strength.
When you fight what's stronger than you, it aggrandizes your power.

Your assignment is bigger than you, that's why you need God.
Your adversary is smaller than you, thats why God needs you.

You are bigger and better than all of them, haters.
You are bigger and better than all of them, enemies of progress.
You are bigger and better than all of them, back-bitters and gossips.
You are bigger and better than all of them, who fought your dream.
You are bigger and better than all of them, who mocked at your little beginning.
You are bigger and better than all of them, who withstood your God given marriage.
You are bigger and better than all of them, who disguised as friends but were actually enemies.
You are bigger and better than all of them, who tried to manipulate your calling.
You are bigger and better than all of them, sorcerers and blood suckers.

Don't let them take more from you.
Don't give them the attention they seek.
Don't sit down musing over what they took from you in the past.
Don't let them take more from you.

I know you had an abortion in the past but don't let it take more from you.
I know he broke your heart when he left you for your friend, but don't let it take more from you.
I know your business partner cheated and double crossed you, but don't let it take more from you.
Am aware your college teacher swore that you were a dummy, but never let that take more from you.
It's true your mama hated and abandoned you and your father for her lover, but never let that take more from you.
Some brethren may have judged and isolated you in church, but don't let them take more from you by walking out on your pastor, and those who still care about you.

Fight forward and never fight backward.

When you follow the lead of the opposition, you make him win.
Take a turn and follow the call you hear from within you.

There's a call to greatness on your life,
There's a call to victory on your life,
There's a call to abundance on your destiny.,
There's a call to a higher and a better life on you.,

But this call is not from behind you, it's from within your bowels.
It's your great future calling, but it calls from within you.

Jesus speaking in Luke 17:21 said;
"Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you."

Your colorful destiny calls from within and it's calling you forward.

God speaks to your regenerated spirit,
Your spirit knows God because Gods Spirit lives in your spirit.

GO FORWARD!

Exodus 14:10-15, 26-30 (Message Bible)

10-12 As Pharaoh approached, the Israelites looked up and saw them—Egyptians! Coming at them! They were totally afraid. They cried out in terror to God. They told Moses, “Weren’t the cemeteries large enough in Egypt so that you had to take us out here in the wilderness to die? What have you done to us, taking us out of Egypt? Back in Egypt didn’t we tell you this would happen? Didn’t we tell you, ‘Leave us alone here in Egypt—we’re better off as slaves in Egypt than as corpses in the wilderness.’”
13 Moses spoke to the people: “Don’t be afraid. Stand firm and watch God do his work of salvation for you today. Take a good look at the Egyptians today for you’re never going to see them again.
14 God will fight the battle for you.     And you? You keep your mouths shut!”
15-16 God said to Moses: “Why cry out to me? Speak to the Israelites. Order them to get moving. Hold your staff high and stretch your hand out over the sea: Split the sea! The Israelites will walk through the sea on dry ground.  
26 God said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea and the waters will come back over the Egyptians, over their chariots, over their horsemen.”
27-28 Moses stretched his hand out over the sea: As the day broke and the Egyptians were running, the sea returned to its place as before. God dumped the Egyptians in the middle of the sea. The waters returned, drowning the chariots and riders of Pharaoh’s army that had chased after Israel into the sea. Not one of them survived.
29-31 But the Israelites walked right through the middle of the sea on dry ground, the waters forming a wall to the right and to the left. God delivered Israel that day from the oppression of the Egyptians. And Israel looked at the Egyptian dead, washed up on the shore of the sea, and realized the tremendous power that God brought against the Egyptians. The people were in reverent awe before God and trusted in God and his servant Moses.

1.         Never allow obstacles or fear to blind you of the power, potential and possibilities that rest only in God.

2.         When forward is the only option and no one, including you, can see clearly the way ahead, stand firm in your faith and expect to see the deliverance and salvation of the Lord.

Every time you give consideration to your past hurts, your past mistakes, your failures and regrets, you lose focus on that which is before you.

Scriptures said concerning Jesus our perfect example Hebrews 12:2, that;
He was able to survive all that He went through, the suffering, the cross, the betrayal, the shame and abandonment, because he drew strength from the joy that was set before Him

Hebrews 12:2
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Whatever you give focus to will either give you strength or it will take your strength.
When you give focus to whats negative in your past, it will sap your strength and deplete your creativity for progress in life.

For Jesus, He focused on the joy which was before Him, and not the manger, not the carpenters shop....

Never get used to anything in your past.
It's good while it lasted but never get used to it.

Whats behind you was good, whats around now is great but whats before, is greater.
Never get used to whats behind and what is now no matter how great, crave for that which is before.

... For the suffering of this present times, can not be compared to the weight of glory which shall appear....

SUBMIT TO GOD.
James 4:7
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

RESIST THE DEVIL.
James 4:7
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

KEEP ON WALKING.
Genesis 17:1
And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.

DON'T LET THEM TAKE MORE FROM YOU!
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
