"You will not succeed by your own strength or power but by My Spirit, says the Lord."

Zechariah 4:6 (NCV)

The message du jour! I saw this verse three times in two days! I love it when that happens! God teaches me in "unit lessons", like a good teacher does. :) Anyway, I am thankful to God for doing a good work in me--that HE will be faithful to complete! I am grateful to him for his Holy Spirit power--HIS GRACE!--to DO what He needs me to do. His word says, "Be careful how you think. Your life is shaped by your thoughts." (Proverbs 4:23) So whatever this applies to in this New Year, I'm ready to move in Him. I'm excited and expect GOOD THINGS!!!

Our Pastor said the other day that weather you say, "I can't" or "I can", you are correct either way. He says, "You get what you expect." And he's right! Our words are containers for power as Joyce Meyer has said. You can use them for good or for poor.

I EXPECT GOD'S FAVOR IN MY LIFE.

I EXPECT GOOD THINGS TO HAPPEN.

I EXPECT TO BE A GOOD FRIEND AND TO HAVE GOOD FRIENDS.

I EXPECT TO GROW SPIRITUALLY THIS YEAR.

I EXPECT TO HAVE GOOD HEATH BOTH PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY.

AND I WILL LOVE THE LORD MY GOD WITH ALL MY HEART, SOUL, MIND & STRENGTH!
