New Year’s resolution ringing in your ears? What goals, resolutions, or plans have you promised yourself to do in 2012? God showed me something I need to share with you.
Hab 2:2 says we need to WRITE DOWN the VISION
Proverbs 29:18 says, if we have no Vision His people Perish (or die).
If you desire changes in every arena of your life, you need to change not only something you are doing but your mind. That’s right, the way you think can and will affect your whole life. You want different results, that means you cannot keep doing it the same way or make the same resolutions. Change comes when you reset your mind on God’s word and refuse to think like the world.
I remember when I first reset my mind to focus on God constantly. My flesh screamed, “HELP”. But I wouldn’t quit! If you know me, or as my hubby says, “She’s a little stubborn.” I look at it as a gift! 
But I was determined to focus on God and His word, no matter what my flesh was saying. In order to focus on God constantly I had to change some things. First, t.v programs. What you watch, you become. What you hear, you make room for. What I was watching on t.v, changed my thinking from positive to negative. It had to go!
Next, music. I used to listen to country music, but now only Christian upbeat, positive music, KLOVE. But my favorite music to listen to on my IPOD are sermons from Creflo Dollar, Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth Copeland, and fellow believers.
Friends was next. I found this one extremely hard. From really close friends, to family. But God showed me things I wasn’t seeing before because I was in the circle looking out instead of looking at the whole picture.
I need to say that all these changes did not happen overnight. It takes time, but I was running the race of endurance. Never quitting and always asking God for help.
Here’s my point. You can make resolutions all you want but until you change your mindset and routine, nothing will change! Did you know if you do something consistently for 21 days, your body will automatically start doing it. But you have to put forth an effort to make the change.
Romans 12:2 says, “Be NOT conformed to this world, but be TRANSFORMED by the RENEWING of YOUR MING”. That requires YOU to to do something on your part! Jesus has done ALL He is going to to and is SEATED at the right hand of God! It’s up to YOU to make the change!
God Loves you, We Love you, and the Blessing of God is upon you in 2012!
May God enrich your life with His Abundant Blessings!
