12
develop a restoration mentality

“I will restore the years that the locust has eaten and I will bring you out with plenty and you shall be satisfied.”

(Joel 2:25-26)

God wants you to live a satisfied life. He has promised to restore all the things that the enemy has stolen. However, just because God gives this great promise, doesn’t mean it will automatically come to pass in your life. You have to do your part to develop a restoration mentality. Expect things to change in your
favor
. Be strong-willed and determined, and do everything you can to recover what the enemy has stolen.

Remember, obstacles are simply opportunities for advancement. If you’ll do your part to have a restoration mentality, God will take every obstacle that comes into your life and turn it into a stepping stone that will take you to a place of higher
honor
and greater blessings!

PRAYER FOR TODAY:

Dear, Father, thank You for promising to restore to me what the enemy has stolen. Teach me to trust
You
more and develop a restoration mentality. Thank You for keeping me on the path to victory in every area of my life!

13
focus on the future

 
“Do not cast away your confidence for it will be richly rewarded.”

(Hebrews 10:35)

God is constantly trying to plant new seeds of victory inside of you! He’s trying to increase you and large your vision. He wants to take you to new levels of victory. But in order for this to happen, the seed has to take root in your heart. Before you’re going to be successful, you’ve got to see yourself being successful. Before your dreams come to pass, you’ve got to look through your eyes of faith and see them coming to pass.

The enemy doesn’t want you to
fulfill
your destiny, so he immediately tries to discourage you and uproot the seed God planted. In order to defeat the enemy in your life, you have to stay focused on God’s promises. Constantly meditate on His promises, live a life that is pleasing and
honoring
to God, and thank the Lord for His faithfulness no matter what the circumstances look like. Before long, you’ll begin to see the dreams God placed in your heart come to pass - dreams filled with blessings and victories!

PRAYER FOR TO DAY:

Heavenly Father, I commit my thoughts to
You
today. I purpose in my heart to stay focused on
You
and the good plan You have for me today. Holy Spirit, remind me of God’s Word so I can fill my heart with His promise of victory today.

14 feed you faith

“.. For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.”

(I John 5:4)

As a child of God, you have the power within you to overcome the world. That includes everything in the world, and everything the world brings your way!

The Bible says that faith comes by hearing the Word of God. As you hear the Word of God and store it in your heart, your faith in God grows stronger. When the enemy tries to attack you through sickness, fear, worry or financial mishaps, just put your faith to work by declaring the Word of God.

Declare that by His stripes you are healed! Declare that perfect love cast out all fear! Declare that God will supply all your needs! Declare that because you are born of God, you have faith to overcome the world! Store the Word of God in your heart today so you can declare it in your day of need.

PRAYER FOR TODAY:

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your word which brings understanding and purpose into my life. Thank You for the gift of faith that grows as I study
Your
word. I ask
You
to bring to my memory Your truth that is stored in my heart that will give me the victory I need today.

15 live to give

“Give and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over ...”

(Luke 6:38)

God wants you to be happy! He wants you to live a satisfied life. Jesus said, “I have come that you might have and enjoy life, and have it to the full - until it overflows!” A major key to enjoying life is that we live to give.

True happiness and true
fulfillment
come when you give of your life in some way to others. God promises to multiply back to you what you give. When you step out in faith, you open a door for God’s hand of blessing to move on your benefit.
Its
this simple principle of sowing and reaping.

God has a specific plan for every one of our lives. His plan involves reaching out and touching other people with His love, mercy and compassion. Ask the Lord to show you how you can share His love with others by giving of your time, your talents and your resources today.

PRAYER FOR TODAY:

Dear Father, thank You for the precious opportunity to share
Your
love and compassion with others today. I know that as I stepped out to give of myself,
You
will use me to be a blessing to others. Thank You for Your goodness and mercy, which follows me all the days of my life.

16
live by the spirit

 
“If you live by the Spirit, you’ll not fulfilled the lusts of the flesh”

(Galatians 5:16).

Did you know that you make over 2,500 choices every day? The quality of your life is determined by the quality of your decisions. Because of that, choosing to live according to the Spirit is the most important decision you can make. One way God speaks to you is through your spirit, the small “voice” inside that prompts you when you should or shouldn’t do something. When you choose to obey God’s leading, that “inner prompting,” you will always make the right choice!

I John 3:21 says, that a guilty conscience hinders communication with our Heavenly Father. That’s why it is so important to stay true to your conscience and quickly repent if you’ve made a mistake.

Remember, Jeremiah 29:11 promises that God has great plans in store for you and when you choose to follow His leading, He will guide you on a path of victory in every area of your life! You are going to win!

PRAYER FOR TODAY:

Precious Father, thank You for Your promise to lead and guide me by Your Spirit.

I ask You to teach me to clearly know Your prompting in my heart so that I can follow You’re leading. Thank You for setting me free to walk in victory today.

17
release the past

 
“... but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”

(Philippians 3:13-14)

One of the main keys to overcoming disappointments in life is learning to let go of the past. You let go of the pass by choosing to forgive those who have hurt or wronged you by believing that God will restore to you everything that was taken. When you received Christ forgiveness in your own life, you are released from the pressure to make up for the past mistakes or failures. You begin to experience the bright future God has in store for you.

Don’t allow the regrets of yesterday destroy the hopes of tomorrow. No matter what has happened in the past, God is a God of restoration, and He will restore what the enemy has stolen from you.

Except God’s mercy and forgiveness today, and look forward to the wonderful plan He has for your life!

PRAYER FOR TODAY:

Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of forgiveness - the gift that releases me from the past and enables me to run towards You and the bright future You have in store for me. Show me if there are any areas of unforgiveness in my heart so that I may forgive and walk in victory!

18 filter your thoughts

“I will set no evil before my eyes.”

(Psalm 101:3)

Did you know that what you think determines the direction and quality of your life? The Bible encourages us to think on things that are pure, wholesome and of good report [Philippians 4:8
] .
In order to think on the right things, it is important that you filter what you watch, read, and listen to. Don’t let the enemy slowly deceive you into lowering your standards and desensitizing you to what is good and pure. Don’t let him have a single opportunity to pull you down by watching or being involved in things that are questionable.

Remember you are the temple of the Holy Spirit. Fill your thoughts with the promises of God found in His Word - promises of peace, joy and freedom; promises of safety, deliverance and provisions; promises of a future and a hope that are only found through Jesus Christ! As you fill your thoughts with God’s Word, victory will come alive in every area of your
life !
