It Is Time To Get Fully Persuaded

"His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.  Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires."

2 Peter 1: 3-4

You can walk in and with the promises of God.  In order for God's promises to be activated in our lives we need to be fully persuaded and believe God without any doubt.  Abraham was fully persuaded that God would do all that He promised.  Abraham seen it before it was.  We need to start seeing through the eyes of faith as Abraham did. 

In America today, we have a microwave mentality.  If it does not happen in our timing, we think it won't happen.  We want everything to happen our way and in our timing.  We need to just trust God and not let our own thoughts of when things should happen get in the way.  God knows better then we do.  He is always willing and able to do what he promised.  Everything that we ever needed was provided before anything ever was.  He knew the end from the beginning.  We need to get fully persuaded that God is doing all that He said He would do.  When you are fully persuaded, you will not act on fear and failure. 

Many times we are short circuiting what God wants to do in our lives by focusing on fear and being negative.  Negative attitudes will stop the promises from being fully manifested in our lives.  We are to think positive thoughts and speak positive words into our lives. Thoughts are most important and words are the most powerful.   We have to meditate on God's word and get fully persuaded that every word is true.  We need to be constantly chewing on it and getting it down in us. 

We should have a passion for God's Word and a passion for the lost.  When you have passion for something, it keeps you focused.  You don't take 'no' for an answer. God's vision should be first in our lives.  As we meditate on God's Word, we will start thinking His thoughts and speaking His words as the vision grows inside of us.  Helen Keller once said, "What's worse then being blind is having sight without vision."  We can take hold of all that God's wants for us by getting into the Word, getting a grasp on God's promises and becoming fully persuaded that with God all things are possible.  Amen
