Matthew 4:18-22(NLT)

18 "One day as Jesus was walking by the shore of the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers- Simon, also called Peter, and Andrew- throwing a net into the water, for they fished for a living.

19 Jesus called out to them. " Come follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!

20 And they left their nets at once and followed Him.

21 A little further up the shore two other brothers, James and John, sitting in a boat with their father, Zebedee, repairing their nets. And called them to come, too.

22 They immediately followed him, leaving the boat and their father behind.

Today, I encourage you to remember who called you. Your past, mistakes and errors don't define who you are. Our Lord called us out, from our families, lifestyle, culture, ways of thinking, ways of doing things, generational brokenness, from our weakness into His marvelous light.

You may find yourself still in the same place, with the same problems but don't think that you are bound or you need to be set free because you are already free.

You might say how? This freedom is from within, your spirit and mind is free from the outside limitations you see.

Sometimes it's like being unshaken, unmoved or unbothered by the outside noise.

People would want to define you, or box you, or shut you down, or describe how your life would end.

Remember, their words, mockery, curses would not prevail. Not because you are worthy or righteous. Not by your works. But because your Heavenly Father says so, He has given you His DNA, you have His bloodline.

Hold on to the words of blessings, He has spoken over you, reject any negative seeds from your spirit. He has the final say not man.

I urge you to also forgive those who persecute you in this time, do not seek revenge or try to prove anything. Leave it all to your Heavenly Father, He is already aware, give Him the control.

Pray for those who speak against you, to be specific, pray for God's love over their lives. The enemy likes to sneak in and steal from you through unforgiveness, bitterness and anger.

Sweet heart, your Father knows be patient and follow Jesus.

He wants to take you to great places, above your limitations, to increase and develop mature thoughts and actions from you.

I pray you fly and soar, I pray you rise above the words and actions that break you down, I pray for strength, new ways of thinking, discovery of new ideas and strategy.

Finally, I pray for the Sweet Peace of God to flow in your spirit, for a calm heart and a bold plus resilient mind.

Go forth and be who God has called you to be Amen.

God loves you, He's got your back, He is your defender and supplier, no need to be afraid.

Joy is coming! 💕
