There are two worlds that surround every single one of us in life. The one that seems to be aggressive and pushes us around is the World Mold, which is all around us day by day and makes itself known to us in it’s own systems, values, immorality and selfish motivations. But this just leads to fear, mistakes, self ambitions and sin AND LOSS. (Violence, wrath, perversion, calling good evil and evil good) We can keep our eyes on what is happening in the world and get all stressed out and fearful just seeing the decline around us. BUT WE ARE NOT OF THIS WORLD - WE LIVE BY A TOTALLY DIFFERENT KINGDOM!
What does God say who we are? IF THERE EVER WAS A DAY IN WHICH WE NEED TO KNOW...... IT’S RIGHT NOW!
The other force in this world is God’s world. After you become born again - you enter into the Kingdom of God and it’s His Lordship in us that makes these promises manifest in our lives. God's mold does not push, is not stressful and will not force us into His arena. We must choose to follow Him. Why? Because when He created us, He gave us a free will of our own, which means we can freely choose the light - His Light or darkness.
Recently a minister of music got stuck at his church as a freak ice storm happened and he couldn’t leave the church building. The storm lasted for 3 days…. He was stuck! The phone lines were down - no cell service either. So he decided to wait out the storm knowing the church had a food pantry and a kitchen. So he went to the door marked ‘pantry’ it was empty! So he went to the church kitchen and found some peanut butter crackers and ate those along with a a couple cans of soup found in the cupboard. He thought - I had no idea our food pantry was bare! What he didn’t know was that the pantry had become so large that one of the elders had it moved to a previous sunday school room and there were shelves and shelves of food! All sorts of food!!! He went without eating because he didn’t know!!
When the storm finally ended and he was able to go home and have a decent meal - his Pastor contacted him and said “I really wasn't too worried about you because I knew of the huge pantry that was there, you know we had to move it from the small room to a bigger one because our supplies had outgrown the former room we had it in.”
With embarrassment the minister of music hung his head and shared that he had went hungry because he ‘thought’ the food pantry was empty. He hadn’t even looked in other areas.
Isn’t that just like us? We live in doubts….. live in fears…. live all the while going without supplies, blessings…. our ‘pantry of needs met is so large that we suffered in vain’. We just don’t know where the blessings are!!!! So we suffer unnecessary troubles….. unacceptable sufferings….. torments by satan because we just don’t know where the answers are to be found! We don’t access our own authority as God’s child because we don’t know the Word of God.
These ten promises WILL change who you are if you believe and enact them daily.

They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength"

Sometimes it's just easier to go around wearing a hat! Why? Because hats make hair styles easy… 
and when the ‘wind blown’ look isn't what you want… it’s a fast answer.
