Hey Protected babes,
I pray that all is going well with you. I wanted to speak on a topic that I've been thinking about recently. "How to position yourself to win"? When I was first started thinking about how I would create this blog post and what the title should be, I prayed to get clarity from GOD to give the information. Although I am honored that I can co-create these blogs with GOD, I never want to stir individuals in the wrong direction. Please take what resonate with you and challenge what I write with scripture. Remember last week email that went out was about making our next move our best move, so what other way to follow-up than to give you ways to position yourself to win to make your next move your best move.
In the start of 2 Chronicles 20:17~ scripture state: "You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you". First step in positioning yourself to win is to know and understand that you will not have to fight. I can admit that when I start to become inpatient and want to go ahead of GOD I find myself in battles that I created because I didn't allow myself to stand firm with what GOD plan is for me. With information and technology constantly throwing ideas in our face sometimes it was difficult to stay focused on what GOD already called us to co-create. Sometimes we tend to look to the left and to the right of us to see what others are doing when we don't see our own progress moving as fast as we may want. This is where we need to mediate on Psalm 46:10~ "Be still and know that I am GOD." When I became still and started to understand that GOD plan is to prosper me and not to harm me, I knew there were certain thoughts, beliefs and feelings that needed to be unlearned and relearned.
In order for us to take our position we first need to understand what goes against our position. Creating a list of all negative thoughts, beliefs and feelings that goes against what GOD speaks over you and getting to the root on how that even become your belief will create space for you to openly receive blessings. When I created my list for every negative thought I had about myself I found two-three scriptures that spoke the opposite and meditated on those scriptures until I unlearned the negative thoughts and they were replaced with how GOD created me and see me.
Positioning ourselves to win need to be just that. Positioning ourself. We must take up a posture of expectation and confidence. Believe it. Know and understand that GOD is with you. Plant your feet. Correct your heart posture and walk as if you already won. We have to remember to be at rest. No anxiety. We have to see the salvation of GOD. Now this is the exciting part. GOD will do in one hour, one day, or one year things we could never do, or what it may take us years, decades or a lifetime to accomplish on our own. Allow GOD salvation to become real in your life. Remember trusting in GOD salvation comes with help from heaven, deliverance from things that was meant to destroy and harm us, power to give us victory, divine welfare, health, prosperity and peace. There is no time to shrink or to be discouraged. We have the ability to use our voice to send back every weapon that may form against us. Remember just because the weapon forms does not mean it will prosper.
Cultivating our mind play a major role. All things start first with an idea. The greatest creation came from GOD and the greatest inventions started as an idea. In order to win in any area of our life we must prepare our minds by deepening our knowledge and sharpening our skillsets. The word cultivate mean to promote, develop, or grow something. Allow GOD to promote you, develop you and to grow you. Winning at anything is hard if we don't have the right individuals around us. Surrounding ourselves with people who want us to win and who also believes in GOD vision and plan will allow you to create your all-star team. Not only should we surround ourselves with with those who support is, but also be looking to recruit people who can actually help you achieve your goals and aspirations. Last but not least work your supernatural power. Remember to tap within and tap into the creator. There is no one like you. Your gifts and abilities are remarkable.
I will leave you guys with scriptures that help me and I pray these are able to help you as well:

Psalm 27:3 – You Can Be Confident Despite Your Circumstance
Isaiah 32:17 – Confidence Comes From Peace & Righteousness
Isaiah 41:10 – Do Not Fear
Philippians 1:6 – Place Your Confidence In Christ, Not Your Own Works
1 Corinthians 2:3–5 – Your Confidence Is In God’s Power, Not Your Own Ability
As always I pray that this information helps you in one or more areas. Remember to stay in prayer, stay in peace, stay intentional, but most importantly stay Protected & Paid. Kindly remember to share Protected & Paid blog with your Family and Friends. You never know who it can bless.
