Now Is The Time To Get Ready

So often we miss out on God’s best because we give up too soon. We don’t realize how close we are to our victory. Just another few days of believing, another few weeks of doing the right thing, or another few months of staying in faith is all you may need to see His promises come to pass.

Today, I want to speak by faith over you. Your breakthrough is right around the corner! You might say, “I don’t know how I’m going to make it. Things seem to be getting worse instead of better.” But the truth is that the promise your heavenly Father gave you is closer than you think to coming to pass.

I have found that the intensity gets turned up when victory is near. The enemy wouldn’t be fighting so hard if he didn’t already know he was about to lose his grip on you. When those negative thoughts come to discourage you, just remind yourself that you are loved and treasured and protected by the Creator of the universe. Let your words be what He says about you, “You are an overcomer. You are a victor and not a victim.”

The bible is full of people who were closer than they thought...

•David faced impossible odds against Goliath but he was moments away from victory (1 Samuel 17).
•Elijah was surrounded by 400 false prophets but the power of God was about to be revealed for everyone to see (1 Kings 18).
•Joseph was forgotten and left in prison but he was just a dream away from his royal position (Genesis 39–40).

Can you imagine if David dropped his slingshot and ran? What if Elijah had backed down? What if Joseph had stopped dreaming? They didn’t give up and God gave them victory! These stories reveal that it is often the darkest right before the dawn.

Perhaps today you’re facing impossible odds. Maybe you feel surrounded, maybe you feel forgotten. The good news for you is that our God can act suddenly in your situation. In a moment’s notice everything can change for the better!

I believe and declare over you that God is going to open doors on your behalf in the very near future. Your faith will be rewarded. Your dawn is almost here! He will put you in the right position and He will do the impossible in your life. Now is the time to get ready!
