In life we often allow fear or doubt to cause us not to possess your possessions. In the book of Numbers, chapter 13:26 - 32 we read about the spies sent into the land of Canaan. When Joshua, Caleb and the others went to spy out the land of Canaan, the other men brought back an evil report. Caleb was bold and said, "Let us go and possess it for we are able to overcome it". The others spoke defeat before even trying. They saw themselves as grasshoppers in comparison to the giants in the land.
How often have you seen yourself as small, insignificant or incapable, although you know and feel within yourself that this is what God purposed you to do? Stop allowing yourself to doubt yourself. Stop allowing others to cause you to doubt yourself. Change your mindset. If God says it's yours Go For It. He will see to it that you accomplish it.
When we make excuses and doubt our ability it hinders us from pushing past fear to be able to accomplish our goals and dreams. Don't speak doom or defeat before attempting to get what God promised you. Instead tell yourself that you will finish what you started. Tell yourself "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" Philippians 4:13. So often we know we are qualified for the job. We know we are capable to take on a task. We know we are strong enough to overcome, yet we allow doubt, fear, the words of others, or the lies of the enemy to become a hindrance to possessing what God promised us.
Let us fix our focus on the One who promised and "Walk by faith and not by sight" 2 Corinthians 5:7. Our leap of faith will be the determining factor whether we possess our possession or miss the blessing. Let's be bold and make the move to receive the blessed promises of God.
