Let Your Change Begin!

In last week’s blog, Your Year of Greatness, Bobby Williams III wrote about the amazing plans God has for our lives. God has incredible plans for each and every one of us. We just have to take that and embrace it. We have to take charge and begin speaking God’s will for our lives into existence.

“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” - Ephesians 2:10

When you speak God’s will, you are taking the first step in allowing God to have control of the path you take. You may not know how you will get to that place, but you do know that God is in control and will lead the way. He has equipped us all with specific skills and gifts that will take us to the place He wants us to be. This year is about embracing those gifts, talents, and skills He has given us. Embrace them and “Speak YOUR own prosperity into existence.”

We serve a mighty God who is capable of anything and everything. A God that can and will give us our heart’s desires (Psalm 37:4). However, God will not just give us those desires at the snap of a finger. God will open doors for us and present us with opportunities to have those desires and to live out that prosperity. It is up to us to take advantage of those opportunities.

So often we ask God for something, or we begin speaking our prosperity and desires into existence. God begins to open doors for us to obtain those things, but we choose to not walk through the door. We are a people who are naturally resistant to change. We are hesitant to put all of our trust in God and make change happen. 

We cannot ask God for a new car, a house, a career, friendships, or anything else and just expect to get it right away because we are children of God. Yes, we should pray for the things we want, our heart’s desires. Yes, we should be speaking them into existence. But we also need to be prepared to take additional steps. We need to knock on doors and allow God to open the doors He wants us to go through to obtain that prosperity.

“Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert.” - Isaiah 43:19

While this year is about speaking your prosperity into existence, it is also about taking those words and allowing them to manifest through opportunities God presents you with. Prosperity will only come with change. Make this year THE year for CHANGE. Allow God to open doors and take you to the places your heart desires!
