TRINKETS TO TRIUMPH

Contradict Your Uncomfortable Condition

You have the liberty to lose it! You can let go of any situation or circumstance that contradicts or that does not line up with your purpose or your present desire. You do not have to settle for a situation that does not satisfy you. You can see yourself out and exercise your right to deny and detach from anything that is not working for your good. You are not obligated to agree with any uncomfortable condition. God gave you the power to call those things that are not as though they are (Romans 4:17). You can begin to contradict your crisis and condition with your words. You can say what you want to see and God can make you see what you said. This month, as some celebrate Independence Day, remind yourself of that fact that you have the right to be free, and free indeed (John 8:36), from anything that you feel is not fulfilling you. Four lepers decided to contradict their current crisis and change their condition when they decided to go into the enemy’s camp (2 Kings 7:3-10). The four lepers were in a state of starvation and decided to take a chance at changing their current state of starvation by going into the enemy’s camp for food (2 Kings 7:3-5). The four lepers knew if they remained in place and accepted their current circumstance, they knew they would die. The four lepers felt it was worth contradicting their current condition and risk it all. The four lepers not only went tent to tent eating until they were full, but they also left the enemy’s camp with gold, silver and clothing (2 Kings 7:8). God cleared the camp by making their enemy abandon and flee their camp by making them hear chariots and the galloping of horses as though they were being invaded (2 Kings 7:5-7). God always exceeds your expectation. When you make up your mind not to settle in your situation, He is always waiting to help you achieve your goal and bless you even further than you expect. The four lepers were only expecting to eat but instead they were fed and left even fuller with treasures. King Hezekiah contradicted his current condition. When the prophet, Isaiah, told King Hezekiah to set his affairs in order because he was about to die, King Hezekiah didn’t settle for his situation (2 Kings 20:1-6). He contradicted his condition. King Hezekiah decided to turn his face to the wall and cry out unto the Lord (2 Kings 20:2-4). The Lord heard Hezekiah, seen his tears, and told the prophet to go back to King Hezekiah and let him know that He would add 15 years to his life (2 Kings 20:5-7). God being the awesome God that He is, not only added 15 years to King Hezekiah’s life but he also promised to rescue him from the king of Assyria (2 Kings 20:6). If he had settled for his situation, he would not have had the opportunity to live longer. Since he contradicted his current uncomfortable condition, he not only had the opportunity to live longer but he received healing, years added to his life, and victory over his adversary (2 Kings 20:1-7). Take the liberty and leap for it. You can rebut, refute and reverse your situation to work out for your good. You have the power of prayer and can seek your Heavenly Father and ask him to turn your situation around to work for your good and the way you desire. Commit to using your keys to the Kingdom (Matthew 16:19) and the authority Jesus gave to you to contradict an uncomfortable condition. Like the four lepers and King Hezekiah, God is ready to move when you move and give you the victory. Go for it. Tracey Nicole George www.traceystrinketstotriumph.com
