Take Every Thought Captive to the Blessings You Have, Dwell Not on Your "Failures" (11.20.15)

My Child,
Why are you focusing on your failures?
Why are you trying to find a reason to give up,
just short of receiving your blessings?

Do not allow your mind to dwell too long on the mistakes made.  Yes, it is okay to recognize failure and learn from it; but it must be done quickly, or you will continue to relive the experience over and over.   Recognize what went wrong, repent, and then cast down any thought that is not of Me.

Take every thought captive to the blessings that you have.

If you don’t, you will become what you focus on the most.
You are not a failure, so why continue to think about the mistakes?
You are more than a conqueror; therefore, think about the blessings.
Think about the victories we have won.

I do not condemn you Child, so stop condemning yourself.
Let your mind be on heavenly things.
Think back on past blessings, and the joy they brought you.

Let your focus be on who you are in Christ Jesus.
Focus on Me and the times that I've brought victory,
in the midst of what you thought was an impossible situation. 

Yes, think about that, and how you testified to My goodness and mercy. 
Think about those things. 

My Child, count your blessings, not your failures.
You are not a failure; therefore, focus on your blessings,
no matter how small..... 

And watch what happens.


Meditate on His Word:
2 Corinthians 10:5 - Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

Romans 8:1 - There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Romans 8:37 - Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

Philippians 3:13-14 - Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus
