Our God has great plans for each of us. Plans to prosper us. Plans to help us breakthrough. Plans to help us rise to the next level of living. Plans to let us truly step into the BIG Life he has available for us. Let His plans flow through your goals for 2019.

Most of us have written goals before and most of us have failed miserably at those goals. The majority of people write goals and then forget about them before the first month is over. But it doesn’t have to be this way. If you’re willing to get up and show up and get out of the way and truly live this new year unleashed without old chains, then God has more available to you in 2019 than you can possibly imagine. Are you willing to spend some serious time praying about what God has available to you? Are you willing to surrender your goals to God and ask for his guidance in making a plan for your new year?

Perhaps this is what has been missing in past years. You’ve been trying to conqueror, but haven’t been conquering, you’ve been losing … could it be because you forgot one key element? You’re a conqueror THROUGH HIM. Let your goals go THROUGH HIM. He has the most amazing plan for you my sister, make sure you’re looking for his plan, I promise it is better than yours. Partner with him. WITH HIM – in writing your goals.

God, what do you have available for me?
God, what do you want me to invest in this year?
God, where do you want me to change?
God, what do you want me to give up?
God, where am I living below my potential?
God, what awesome things can we do together?
God, where do you want to use me?

Jeremiah 29:11 – For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

God has the most amazing plan for you in this coming year and here’s what we must do to experience it.

Get up and show up. Get up when we don’t feel like it. Get up when what we most want is to lay low. And show up. Show up with your best effort, your best attitude. Imagine what one year of getting up and showing up every day with your very best would look like. Yes, this is what is required of you. Now before you think that’s too difficult, let me remind you of something. Getting up and showing up feels darn good at the end of the day. Nothing feels better than knowing you just gave your best effort in a day of life. String together a couple hundred of those kind of days and you will be living a whole new life with another level of confidence and happiness you didn’t even know existed. But God knew it existed. In fact, this is what he created you for. He put that potential within you. All this time he’s just been waiting for you to get up and show up with your very best so he can reward you with the very thing you’ve been seeking. Happiness, yes God has that planned for you. Feeling good about yourself, yip it’s always been in the plan. Get up and show up.

One more thing, we must get out of the way. Our God is all powerful, but he’s not going to plow through you to make a way for your breakthrough. If you’re blocking the door, then God’s been waiting on you to move. Where have you been blocking God’s work in your life? Has it been with your negative thinking, convinced something is wrong with you, somehow you are unworthy and unable? Gosh, what a line of garbage from the enemy you’ve been buying as your truth. You can stop that now. Listen to me, Colossians 2:10 tells me YOU ARE COMPLETE IN HIM. Romans 8:31 tells me you are MORE THAN A CONQUEROR through him who loves you. If you’re more than a conqueror, you know what this means? It means you’re a champion.

Hold your head high sister and put those shoulders back. You’ve got this because God’s got you. Get out of the way. Believe what God says about you is true. Believe he can and will work miracles in your life if you will remove the limits you’ve placed on yourself and on Him. Within you at this moment is everything you need to blow your own darn mind in 2019. All the potential is there. Won’t you decide you will start living up to what God has placed in you?
