Your Achievement is Based On Your Belief

 Romans 14:22-23 (NKJV)
22 Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves. 23 But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat from faith; for whatever is not from faith is sin.

*Sharing this scripture was inspired by Day 12 of the book "The 40 Day Soul Fast" by Cindy Trimm. In my heart, I have always felt that Christians claim to believe in the powers of God, but still have a mindset of limiting His capabilities in your life. You are aware that He created the sun, moon, stars, even the very intricate nature of your body and how it functions. Yet, we have allowed what we have gone through to influence our way of thinking, which still caters to the system of what the world has taught us. Your mindset influences your soul, and if you don't watch it, the mind can override what your soul is fed through God's word bc you refuse to embrace the impossible and stick with capabilities of the natural. God is capable of doing exceedingly, abundantly, and beyond all we ask for, but notice that it is based on the powers in US (Ephesians 3:20). Therefore, as you become more seasoned in His word, He still always provides you with a choice (free will) to allow things to happen based on what you believe in your heart and soul. How you act on something is due to what you believe, and sometimes what we believe can be the very prison that stops us from moving forward and keeps us in the confinement of what we choose to embrace and hold on to. For instance, if you believe that having good credit is the only way to prosper, then credit is what u are limited to. However, if you believe in your ability to be successful enough to pay cash for everything, the prosperity of money is what you will find. Now, of course to each capability of God, there is discipline and obedience that will follow. However, your constraints are often due to the confinement of the mind. What is it that you are believing God for? How are you going to allow what you can understand in the natural influence what you are believing for spiritually?
