Forward thinkers
Forward thinkers
So if you follow me you know that I always talk about messages and this was surely the one I needed today.
This was the message from my church The Faith Center and my Bishop Henry Fernandez.
To be a forward thinker you need to look forward to what is going to come and not in your past.
Are you focused on what didn't happen?
Are you stuck in the past?
Or are you saying I am hopeful for the future?
Either you are embracing your past or this present moment.
Do you say thank you God, that you made a way, that you strengthened me instead of saying that happened to me and who hurt you.
You cannot embrace your past and your present moment at the same time. We need a passion for forward thinking, we need to believe in his word.
Maybe you think there are no more surprises or that God can't open up new doors for you, you can't get unstuck of the things in your past.
You need to keep on moving toward the possibilities of the future. That you will be delivered to the level of your God given potential. Some people tell themselves that this is all for their life, nothing else can be done. They put limitations on their lives, on God but God doesn't have limitations.
Dream big, God has bigger dreams for you than you have for yourself.
But you cannot seem to think like that because you are stuck because of the things that happened in your past. You've been hurt, cheated on, you keep focusing on what should have been, what happened to you and you are so broken that you can't let it go.
When you are forward thinking, you let that go and trust God for your future.
You do not remember the former things in your life because God is doing a new thing and you must see it.
You cannot have short sighted vision, because he will take you to bigger places, even if it's 5 years from now, ten years, twenty years from now. You will wait out the situation and know that these are the realities of life but I can still believe that this will happen to me.
Like me, I know the plans God has for me even though it seems like years of waiting because I saw him work in the past. I know that even though I wanted it on my time, I had to wait on him and his time.
Forward thinking people are those who refuse self pity, that still believes even when it seems impossible. Forward thinkers say I will pick myself up when I am knocked down, even if I can't see it, I know it will happen, I will believe.
Forward thinkers are people who protect their minds of negativity, of crazy thoughts and don't allow that into their space.
Forward thinkers are people who refuse to accept their past, of what happened to them, they have a vision of their future. Forward thinkers are people who won't quit. They know his word:
"Though he slay me, I will trust him"
See you're so focused on your past on what you did, and your bad decisions that have cost you. You need to let this go and be honest with your decisions, you need to own your stuff and let it go.
You know that God did it before but somehow you doubt that he won't do it again.
Though we may have waived in our faith, we still believe there is hope for a brighter future.
Even when we are inconsistent in our faith walk, we still believe in God's plans for us.
We need to know that everything that was said to us by people of your past, we will not allow to change the outcome of our future.
If you know that your future is before you, and not behind you, you won't become mentally stressed over your past. Here are 5 steps to become a forward thinker...
Believe you are loved by God.
Believe your sins are forgiven through repentance.
You must accept what happened or didn't happen.
You must love yourself by accepting people's rejections.
You must meditate on the word of God, daily.
I know that there is always a message for me, I am constantly looking for the lessons I need to hear and I know that this was God speaking through my Bishop, to me.
These messages the Pastor said were straight for me. When he said you were getting married and you wanted to run. It was God who was giving you a message but you still did what you wanted to. Lord that was me!
When he said this too shall pass, which was my mom's favorite saying.
When he spoke about letting the hurts of others go, which is something that happened last night (I will speak on that in tomorrow's blog) he was speaking to me.
These are messages that I needed to hear today, to let go of hurt that people caused me, to keep believing no matter what happens, to trust God even when it feels like I am alone.
So today my friends, who are you? Are you constantly looking back? Are you living in the past?
Or are you a forward thinker? Knowing and trusting God's word?
The choice is up to you…For me when I am confused, or hurt, I pray and I listen for God's voice. I know he will always give me what I need to hear and just like today he showed up and showed out.
And as I say at the end of every blog…
Be the change you want to see.
Be the change you want to see"
"And just when the caterpillar thought his life over...he turned into a beautiful butterfly"
