 We’ve all felt at times that we can’t change a certain habit or a weakness in our lives. We often feel “confined” by whatever has previously “defined” us.  But as we change our mindsets regarding WHO we are and what God has given us, ANYTHING can change. Today a new hope will be born in you!
-'''LET'S CHANGE THAT NEGATIVE THOUGH TODAY!'''
+LET'S CHANGE THAT NEGATIVE THOUGH TODAY!
-<blockquote>''<big>“</big> <small><sup>5</sup></small> When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. <small><sup>6</sup></small> But there was certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, <sup><small>7</small></sup> Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only? <sup><small>8</small></sup> And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts? <small><sup>9</sup></small> Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?”'' - [[Mark 2:5]], [[Mark 2:6|6]], [[Mark 2:7|7]], [[Mark 2:8|8]], [[Mark 2:9|9]]</blockquote>
+'''1. Awaken to God’s grace.''' Titus 2:12 says, “This same grace teaches us how to live each day as we turn our backs on ungodliness and indulgent lifestyles, and it equips us to live self-controlled, upright, godly lives in this present age.” (TPT)
+His grace empowers us to change, break a habit or be free from our past. The river of grace is always flowing. Just step into it and receive IT!
+'''2. Believe that the power to change is a GIFT.''' 2 Timothy 2:25 says God grants "repentance," or "the power to change," AS A GIFT. The ability to experience lasting change in any area of our life is a gift from God. Receive the gift of repentance, or “the gift to change,” by FAITH. Ask for it and receive it. God gives generously when you believe! (James 1:6)
+'''3. All change begins by believing you are loved by God.''' Romans 2:4b says, “Do you realize that all the wealth of his extravagant kindness is meant to melt your heart and lead you into repentance?" (TPT)
+'''4. Notice, in that verse, that His love and kindness change the way we think; THEN they change the way we act.''' All lasting change begins by surrendering my thought life to the Word of God. (Romans 12:2)
+'''5. Believe in the process that leads to progress. Don’t worry if it doesn’t happen right away.''' Jesus touched the blind man once, then touched him a second time, before he was completely healed. (Mark 8:22–26) I believe these next 21 days are going to be your SECOND touch from Jesus.
+'''6. Redefine yourself ONLY as what God says about you.''' Disconnect from past definitions of your habits, traits, and limitations. You are being changed into His image. ([[2 Corinthians 3:18]])
+<blockquote>''<big>“</big> <small><sup>18</sup></small> But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. [[2 Corinthians 3:18]]</blockquote>
+THINK IT, SAY IT AND PRAY IT
+''God has given me the gift to change. My habits, emotions, and life are changed by changing the way I think. I submit to the process of renewing my mind, and I expect divine progress. I refuse to accept past definitions and limitations of myself. As I embrace God’s view of me through His Word, I am being changed into His image, in Jesus’ Name!''
