Sometimes the biggest limitation isn't your situation, it's the
0:06
story you've been feeding yourself about it.
0:10
Today's scripture is coming from Luke chapter #1 verse 18.
0:13
And this is the Message Bible and it reads.
0:16
How do you expect me to believe this?
0:19
I'm old and my wife is old too. Let's go deeper.
0:27
Zechariah had been disappointed for so long that he trained
0:34
himself not to expect anything different.
0:37
And honestly, a lot of people live there.
0:41
You tried it before, it didn't work.
0:44
You prayed before, nothing changed.
0:47
You believed once and got hurt anyway.
0:52
So slowly, without realizing it, you start feeding your
0:57
limitation by saying maybe it's too late, maybe I miss my
1:04
chance, maybe this is just who I am.
1:08
And the dangerous part is those thoughts start sounding
1:15
reasonable. But what God was trying to show
1:19
Zechariah was something deeper. Just because something hasn't
1:25
happened yet, does it mean it stopped being possible?
1:29
What you continually speak over your life eventually shapes how
1:33
you move through it. Wisdom teaches that what you
1:38
feed grows. Fear grows when it's rehearsed.
1:43
Faith grows when it's nourished. And some of us have been feeding
1:48
our doubts more consistently than our destiny.
1:52
Feeding insecurity. Feeding fear and avars thinking,
1:57
feeding old disappointments like they are permanent truths.
2:02
Meanwhile God is speaking possibilities, still speaking,
2:05
purpose still speaking, life over you and in you.
2:10
The issue isn't always what God said.
2:13
Sometimes the issue is which force you keep replaying.
2:17
So if you want different outcomes, you may need different
2:21
internal conversations. Stop feeding the version of
2:25
yourself that only expects disappointment and start feeding
2:29
the part of you that still believes God can do something
2:34
unexpected. Because what's limiting you may
2:37
not be your age, your background, or your past.
2:41
It may just be what you've been agreeing with.
2:47
And here's his reflection moment.
2:48
Think about this today. What thoughts have I been
2:52
feeling that are limiting my faith?
2:54
And whose voice have I been replaying more than God's?
2:59
And here's today's declaration. Repeat this after me.
3:03
I will not feed limitation. I agree with what God says about
3:08
me. I am equipped, empowered and
3:11
anointed. What feels delayed is still
3:14
possible. And here's today's prayer.
3:18
God, thank you for speaking promises over our life that are
3:21
greater than our fears. Help us to stop feeding thoughts
3:25
that keep us small. Teach us to align our mind and
3:29
our words and our expectations with what you have already said
3:33
about us. Strengthen our faith.
3:36
We're disappointed, weakened it, and awaken hope in areas where
3:40
we have stopped expecting anything good.
3:44
We receive everything that you have for us and and we ask that
3:47
you make sure that all of our loved ones are whole and
3:49
complete with nothing missing, broken or lacking.
3:51
And we thank you for your protection, your provision and
3:54
your prosperity and making sure that we always speak life in and
3:59
over ourselves. We thank you for these and we
4:02
expect this just like Jesus did and we say Amen.
4:06
God bless y'all. I love you and I hope you have a
4:09
fantastic day today. Y'all take care.
4:13
One last thought. Your life will eventually move
4:18
in the direction of the thoughts you Kee feeding.
