Most of us could raise our hand high! Some of us might have a pride issue instead of true confidence. We hear a lot about self-confidence, yet as believers we know that it is not confidence in ourselves we need, but confidence in the One who said, \u201cMy grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.\u201d<\/p>\n
Have you ever considered that your lack of confidence could have to do with you believing some things about you that simply are not true. Maybe you feel inferior to others, have a critical inner voice, feel incompetent, unworthy, fearful, and even flawed. Hmmm\u2026I cannot find the scriptures that say those things about you. <\/p>\n
What I can find are scriptures that say\u2026<\/p>\n
You didn\u2019t choose me. I chose you. John 15:16a<\/strong><\/p>\nFor we are God\u2019s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. Ephesians 2:10<\/strong><\/p>\nSee how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are!\u00a01John 3:1<\/strong><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nYou see, our lack of belief in God\u2019s word (I know it hurts to hear that, but we must deal with our unbelief.), our faulty thoughts, and our lack of confidence are a problem. They are what stand in the way of us walking in confident Christian influence and impacting the lives of others. Jesus says go tell others about me. Satan says, you? No you are not the one to do that. Who are you listening to?<\/p>\n
Did you answer the question? Who are you listening to?<\/p>\n
So, what can you do today to decide to walk in confidence \u2013 not because of who you are \u2013 but because of whose you are? You can take your eyes off yourself \u2013 your thoughts, your feelings, and your assumptions \u2013 and fix your eyes on Jesus. He is the One, the only One who will never leave you or forsake you. He is the example we are to follow. We are to rise up and lead like Jesus. <\/p>\n
I have some resources that can help you do just that\u2026<\/p>\n
1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Truth Journal \u2013 I could never truly explain the impact it has had in my life to replace lies with the truth of God\u2019s word. I am consistently asking myself, \u201cwho told you that?\u201d. If I cannot answer myself that God said it \u2013 then I go find a truth to replace it with. I love reading through my Truth journals because they keep me centered on the truth of God\u2019s word and they remind me what God has been teaching me and revealing to me for years. That is so powerful. He gives us what we need personally. (Link to Truth Journal)<\/p>\n
2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Take your thoughts captive. What you think determines what you feel and what you feel determines what you do. You and your thoughts are standing in the way of you fulfilling God\u2019s plan for your life. Do an inventory of your thoughts. Did you know that when you find a faulty thought, you can replace it with the correct thought and it will change how you feel which will ultimately change what you do. It just might cause you to walk in obedience and become the leader God planned for you to become.<\/p>\n
3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Make the Right Decisions today. We often say things like, \u201cI\u2019m working on it\u201d or \u201cI\u2019m trying\u201d. Sorry \u2013 that is just an excuse to not do it. What if instead, you just made a decision? In episode 202 of the Confident Christian Influence, I share 3 decisions that will immediately boost your confidence and therefore, help you grow your influence and impact. I challenge you to listen and give it a try. Then report back to me and let me know how it\u2019s going.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
You have everything you need to become who God is calling you to become. How do I know. Because I know Him. He is more than enough. Yes, I know it is scary and uncomfortable to see yourself as a leader. I recognize it is easier to shrink back than it is to rise up. But I also know, that standing in the center of His will and doing what He has created you to do is the best place in the whole wide world to be. It is worth a little discomfort to find your way there.<\/p>\n
Lead on, Sis! He is with you.<\/p>\n
I am praying for you!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
