THIS THING CALLED GRACE Part 3

The language of abundance transcends mere words; it encapsulates the beliefs and intentions that underlie those words. It’s about aligning your thoughts and expressions with the financial reality you aspire to manifest.

Unveiling the Subtle Forces of Language

Language is more than a mere tool for communication; it’s a powerful instrument for turning dreams into reality. The words you choose can either magnetize abundance toward you or repel it.

The amazing truth is that life happens for you. Life does not happen to you.

When Adam lost the garden, he lost the enclosure of pleasure, and we see that Jesus’s ministry brought among other things – healing and provision.

Let’s look at how Jesus demonstrated this mindset in His earthly ministry

• God spoke abundance into our spirit:
• God gave us permission to FREELY use the resources He has made available in the garden of abundance.
• Scarcity mindset entered the world when our parents focus was shifted away from abundance to lack
• Scarcity mindedness leads to nakedness, inadequacies and fear
• Scarcity mindedness is based on deception – and deception is the primary tool of the devil to shift your focus from the abundance that surrounds you.
• Scarcity mindedness results in not having enough, hardships not because things are hard but because we have believed them so

So God is saying to you that His word will provide you with refreshment that gives you stability and steadfastness which then leads to hope.

Patience + Encouragement (of scriptures) = Hope

So if patience is missing from the equation, you can’t have hope.

Why is hope important?

Because hope is the anchor of faith!

Time is an important part of our lives. It gives order to our days and allows us to set schedules. But schedules in and of themselves are worthless unless we have a purpose behind the schedule. It is useless to keep track of time if there is no end toward which we are moving.

Have you ever been unexpectedly called in to meet with your boss, and then spent the dreadful time before your meeting conjuring up why you might be in trouble? Has your imagination led you to create scenarios of how you might be fired, and what your reaction

would be? Have you ever imagined the worst-case scenario in some situations where the future seemed unknown to you?

This is your imagination feeding on the fear of the worst thing happening. This may have come from movies we have watched or even life's experiences but how does God wants us to to live? To remember that fear is not our future. God is - and He has conquered every tomorrow before we get there.

Psalm 139: 5 offers a comforting prose for every believer when the terrain of life looks unfamiliar:

You’ve gone into my future to prepare the way, and in kindness you follow behind me to spare me from the harm of my past. You have laid your hand on me!

The greatest antidote to fear is to know ane be consciously aware of the love and presence of God.
