Don't Fight Change



"I DECLARE that God is bringing about new seasons of growth. I will not get stagnant and hold on to the old. I will be open to change knowing that God has something better in front of me. New doors of opportunity, new relationships and new levels of favor are in my future. This is my declaration."

Joel Osteen 

                  Stay open for change. Don't approach change from a negative point of view. All change is not bad. It may seem negative on the surface, but remember, God would not allow it if He didn't have a purpose for it. He will use it to stretch you and to hopefully push you into a new dimension. You may be in a perfectly fine situation for years, but all of the sudden you will see a stirring taking place.

                  It's easy to become negative or bitter and say: :God why is this happening? I thought I had your favor." But a much better approach is to just stay open and know that God is still in control. If you will embrace the change, the winds that you thought would defeat you will actually push you into His divine destiny.

                  So at times He may cause a friend to walk away. He'll stir up things and may even allow a friend to do you wrong, because He knows that if He doesn't close that door you will never move ahead. Thirty years later that person would still be dragging you down, keeping you from your destiny. God would not have stirred it up if He didn't have something better in store. Don't fight change; embrace it, and you will step into the fullness of what God has in store for you.
