Good Morning Sunshine! It’s A New Day!

Colossians 3:1-3 AMP “Therefore if you have been raised with Christ [to a new life, sharing in His resurrection from the dead], keep seeking the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. [2] Set your mind and keep focused habitually on the things above [the heavenly things], not on things that are on the earth [which have only temporal value]. [3] For you died [to this world], and your [new, real] life is hidden with Christ in God.”

When you start out today, Look Up, see what God has put in the atmosphere for you today! Focus your mind on Jesus Christ! Remember the battle begins in your mind and the quicker you can take every thought captive in the Word of God the better you will be! (2 Corinthians 10:5)!

As a matter of fact, today you are in a new Position so need to have a new Perspective, for your new Purpose that was ordained in Your Father’s Presence! Today, there is a permanent change taking place in you and don’t worry if you don’t see anything moving on the outside, improvements always start on the inside first! You are being transformed from the inside out, moving from temporary to permanent, trust the process of God!

Today, you are aligning yourself with what God wants, you are concerned about what He wants, devotion and no more distractions and delays to what He has assigned for you to do! You are seeking His Presence, you want to be everywhere He is, no other place will do! God’s desires for you to have self control and be self-disciplined.

Remember who you belong to and who you are, know your identity! Know the four “R’s”, Renew, Recognize, Release and Replace!

Renew your thoughts in the Word of God, focus on the things above and not on earth, this is not your home, you are just passing through on your way to Heaven!

Recognize and acknowledge that the old you is dead and will not be resurrected, the change that you are looking for won’t happen if you keep trying to revisit old patterns!

Release the past, release the thoughts of shoulda, coulda and woulda, you can’t go back and fix anything, learn from it and keep it moving, keep it pushing. In the words of my dear friend, “No Looking Back”, you can’t look backwards and look up at the same time!

Replace all the old with new, a new transformed mindset, moving away from all old behaviors and activities. Remember God’s Word, you cannot put new wine in old wine skin, it won’t work. (Mark 2:22)! It’s time to move pass the old and walk into the new, you cannot make the old fit into the new, let it go and be who God called you to be!

You can Now look up and see God smiling at you!

Let’s Pray:
Father, Thank You for redeeming me! Thank You Father for allowing me to look up and see You and what You are doing in my life. Father, today I am remembering what Your Word says to me and about me, I have been washed and renewed by the Blood of the Lamb. I recognize that I cannot do anything apart from You, and I’m repenting to You for all my sins, sins of omission and commission. I’m releasing everything that I thought was good in my sight and I’m surrendering to You and Your Way, for Your Way is the perfect way. I Thank You that You have replaced my old with the new for my good and for Your Glory. In Jesus Christ Mighty Name. Amen!

Blessings…
