Take the Limitations Off

We are in, the times we have tried and failed and what people have told us, we have become conditions to thinking, I cannot do anything great. I will never get back in shape. It might not have happened in the past, you might have tried and hit that lid a few times, but can I tell you the lid is coming off? It is time to try again. Yu were not crated to live contained, to get stuck. Recondition your mind.

That is what happened to a friend of mine. He got off to a rough start in life. He grew up was very poor and had almost no guidance. His father was not in his life and his mother had her own struggles. Because of this poor home situation, he was labelled by the state as a child at risk. From the time he was a little boy that phrase had played over and over in his mind. It has become ingrained in his thinking. There no future for me. I am a child at risk. He continues to go downhill, getting in to trouble, doing what the rest of the crowd was doing. Everyone around him was defeated, depressed and addicted. He fit right in. He adapted to his environment. Your life is going to follow your thoughts. He believed he was at risk and he became a risk. If you believe you reached your limits, you have. If you believe you will never get well, you would not. Because your mind has become conditioned with limitation, it will keep y8ou from your highest potential.

You have to be bold and get rid of the thoughts that are holding you back. You may not see how you can do it in your own ability, but you are not on your own. You have the most powerful force in the universe breathing in your direction. God crated you to rise higher, to break barriers of the past, to overcome bad habits and to be free from generational curse. People may have labeled you at risk, average, less than but God labels you well able, equipped, anointed, creative, a masterpiece. The good news is that people do not determine your destiny. God does. What they said about you, the environment you are in now and how you were raise cannot keep you from your purpose. God has already taken in to account every detail of your life, every bad break, every negative comment, how you were raised, what somebody did or did not do. He is factored that all into His plan. If you stay in faith, instead of holding you back, it will propped you forward. Instead of defeating you, it will make you stronger. God knows how to take what was meant for you harm and use it to your advantage.

One day this young man got into trouble at school and was sent to the school counselor. She tried to reason with him, but he would not listen. However, she would not give up. She kept on trying and trying. Finally he said to her, why are you even bothering with me? I will never go anything feat. I have been told my whole life I am a child at risk. She liked him in the eyes and said, listen to me, you are not a child at risk and you are a child at possibility. When he heard that, something ignited on the inside. He sat up in his chair and said to her, what do you mean at possibility? She said, you are full of potential. You are smart, you are talented. There is no much you can become. His whole life, he had heard just the opposite. His mind had become conditioned to think, I will never get out the bad environment. I will never be successful. That day a stronghold was broken in his thinking.

Today, this young man owns his own business and is very successful. Plus, he goes around to schools and speaks to other students who are considered to be at risk. He tells them what that counselor told him, you are not at risk, you are at possibility. As it was, people around you may accept mediocrity. They may be fine with being average, having little goals and working at an OK job. But do not let that sprit rub off on you. That is not who you are. You are the exception. You are not limited by your education, by how you were raised by that environment. God has distained you to rise bigger. He is detained you to go to the next level.
