Home | Self Improvement | Inspirational Realizing you were created for greatness will cause you to walk with confidence: confidence knowing you are who God created you to be; you can do what God says you can do; you can have what God says you can have. No one can take this away from you, and you should not allow anyone else to dictate or determine your destiny. True family, friends and our society may have had some unfair and unjust ways for many things we are dealing with, however we have to be determined to move forward in spite of. True our past will have some influence on our life and could possibly hold us hostage in some areas of our life. Again, I say – we must move forward. No, we shouldn’t forget stages of our past because there is good in what could have been meant for evil. The impact family, friends and society has played in our life – still could allow us to move in an area of our life to bring deliverance from what we could be holding onto. Another way you can walk away from the blame game is keeping yourself girded in the Word of God. Most people are in a state of reactionary faith; they react to the situation, and then try to deal with it. Reactionary faith causes you to lose ground fast because you have nothing built in to help you survive when you most need it. One man of God described it as an emergency room. People come in with emergency situations; some make it, and some don’t. They depend on nurses and doctors to help them overcome their problem. Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” . On the other hand, there is pro-active faith. This is faith that helps you prepare for any situation that comes upon you. You have confessed the Word of God daily, made your confession about your life, and you are ready for anything. Instead of having a good marriage, you set the stage for a great marriage. Instead of getting over an episode of bad health, you walk in divine healing. Instead of overcoming a bad financial situation, you are financially free, because you never get in financial bondage. Testimonies of people who have overcome problems are great, but pro-active faith will help you avoid the problems, and that is even greater. Be honest and ask yourself – whose fault is it anyway? What I want to emphasis here is keeping our eyes on the prize of life will cause us to prosper in any area of our life. Taking responsibility will bring freedom from many things in our life. For example: if we have an issue with sex, drugs or alcohol. Don’t play the blame game that Sally Sue influenced you to put down a case of booze in an evening. Surely Sally Sue may have had a little influence on you, but the bottom line come down to what you decided to do. There is an area that may not be in our regular conversations about certain issues that seem to infiltrate our lives. That area is nothing less than a generational curse. A lot of things we deal with have been brought into our family simply from un-repented sin from our forefathers—better known as a curse. And if we don’t deal with them, they will carry from one generation to another. Whether it is alcoholism, adultery, or drugs, it doesn’t matter—deal with it! We have to take the mask off and ask God to help us with things we can’t handle ourselves. Generational curses will try to hide sometimes within one generation and then reappear in the next. Accept what you like and reject what you don’t like or what is not God-like in your life. Confess it, ask for forgiveness, and appropriate the blood of Jesus over that sin. You can do it! Here’s the scripture: “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). Make it personal by inserting your name or “I confess.” Pray it if you need to and trust God that you are forgiven. I encourage you to take time to read the Word of God for yourself and focus on what you can do for you! What God has for you is for you and no one else’s name is on it.
