How not to have a bad day.

My grandmother always kept a calendar by her bed, and every day in that calendar she would write good day or bad day depending on how the day went, there were a lot of bad days. She became bitter and angry no matter how hard we would try to cheer her up nothing helped.

She lost her joy. That's what bad days do. They put you in a mood where even the good in that day is over shadowed by the bad.

How not to have a bad day.

We have all had those days, where things are just bad and no matter how hard we try to make it better it just ends up being a bad day. If we have enough bad days in a row, those emotions and feelings start to settle and become apart of our persona. These can effect our relationships at work, home and anywhere else we have to interact with others.

When we start our mornings, we are usually bombarded with life stuff, stress, anxiety, worry, fears, things we need to do, things we wished we didn't do, the list can go on and on, and all this happens before our feet hit the floor.

I want to let you know you have the authority to set the tone for your day, not saying you are not going to have a bad day ever again, but you will learn how to deal with them better and stop the steam roller effect they can have on you.

"As I began doing this on a daily basis I started to notice my days got better and as I got more in depth with it, I began to notice, that on the days I didn't do it, I felt not so good."

When to set the tone for your day

When my day begins I reach over and check my phone, to find out if I over slept or not.
I lay back down and stair at the ceiling and think to myself about my day, and wait for coffee.
While coffee is brewing I find a sermon to watch, just to get the word of God flowing through the house, doesn't matter who it is, I have a few favorites, who I like to call da boys, even though their are a few girls in the mix.

Coffee time is God time

This is my time with God, as long there is coffee in that cup I am talking to God and I don't want to be interrupted. Why? Because I am setting the tone for my day, and if I talk to you, before I talk to God, odds are, it wont go well. So choose a time that is right for you, even if you have to wake up a little earlier, Promise it will be worth it.

Commute time is God time

Traffic is never fun, but it can be useful. On those days where there is no time for coffee or staring at the ceiling, I set the tone for my day during my commute, I like this because, I can speak out loud and people think I am singing along to my favorite tune. (windows up, of course.)

Shower time is God time

This is one of my favorites, Setting the tone for my day in my morning shower, some of my best conversations with God took place there. Something about the water makes it better.

Cleaning time is God time

Oh, How I love this one, a good worship playlist, hair up, sweats and a tee, I'm all in.
When I clean my family clears the zip code, because I will just remind them of how dirty they are.
Even washing the dishes somehow becomes, well different.

So now that you have some ideas on when to do it, lets get to it.

"I love praying scripture because, well
It is Gods word and it never returns void, it does what it says. It is powerful, it is a light, it is perfect."

Prayer/Meditation: For the day.

Thank you heavenly Father for this beautiful day, 

Thank you for your ever lasting love and kindness.

Thank you for choosing me and purchasing me

As your special possession, as a royal priest hood

And of a holy nation, to declare your praises.

Lord, I pray that you grant me the peace which transcends all understanding,

That you Will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus.

I pray you give me wisdom and revelation to know you better,

for strength to do all that I am called to do today.

I pray that you Lord meet all my needs according to your 

Riches in glory of Jesus Christ.

I pray Lord that you keep me far from oppression and fear,

That terror will be far removed and not come near me.

Set before me this day.

I pray Lord that I may triumph through the blood of the lamb and

Knowing Who you are and why it matters.

Knowledge is power.

Lets say their was a check written out to you for a large sum. 

It was never sent to you, but rather it sat there on a desk.

On the desk it just a piece of paper with writing on it, 

but in your possession its way more valuable, why?

Two reasons 

1. It’s for large sum of money

2. It has your name on it.  

That means that you and you alone have the authority cash this check.

What if I told you their was a check with your name on it and 

that it is not only your job to locate the check, but cash it as well.

Knowing Who you are and why matters.

Everyday more and more people either lose or never come to realize 

who they are and the authority they have in their lives. 

These are people who sit back and watch life pass them by, 

these are people who give up on their goals, desires and dreams, 

who allow negative people and circumstances to dictate the course of their lives.

The problem is most people have is that they either don’t know how to access

 their authority or even worse, they don’t know they have it.

Sure, life happens, we cant stop it, but we can learn how to overcome 

negative situations, heal from negative circumstances and live a 

life of peace, joy, satisfaction, prosperity and health, in all abundance, in every area of life.

Today, I would like to give you a glimpse of who you are, 

as well as your authority to navigate through life by sharing with you some truths.

You are not your circumstances.

You are not your situations.

You are not your habits.

You are not your past.

Every aspect of you was divinely designed with the utmost love and care.

There isn't one ounce of your persona that isn't adored.

All your goals, desires, intentions are all carefully taken under consideration at all times.

There are more thoughts about you than there is sand on the shore.

You are the child of a King.

As the child of a King you have certain rights and privileges that you are entitled to.

You are/have/can:

Incorruptible.

Overcome.

Conqueror.

Wisdom.

Far from oppression.

Do all things.

Chosen.

Redeemed.

Delivered.

Elected.

Healed.

Complete.

There is nothing out of reach or to far off that you cannot attain or accomplish, 

all you have to do is access it.

Knowing who you are changes things, situations and circumstances, 

knowing your authority changes everything, with you at the center.

Its time to assume your authority as architect and designer of your life.

Its time to work, love and live your life in your authority.

Its time for you to know who you truly are in your authority.

If you have questions about your authority please let me know by 

leaving a comment or follow this blog.

I pray this helps, stay blessed. - Laurie

How to take your life back and stop the cycle of defeat.

You are a spirit

You have a mind/soul

You have a body

Your main focus should be what you are, but we as people are sight creatures,

we tend to base things (situations, circumstances, etc.) on what we see, followed by what we feel, then what we know.

When in reality we were created to first know, feel and then see.

The righteous (the saved) shall live by faith. - The Bible.

We (the saved) walk by faith, not by sight. - The Bible.

We were created to have dominion on earth, to subdue it, to have complete authority over everything here on earth.

In His image we were created. - The Bible.

We weren’t meant to live lives of hurt, pain, loss, lack, anxiety, stress, doubt, fear or anything negative for that matter.

If there is any form of fear or confusion, then it has nothing to do with God or his will for you, or your life.

He didn’t give us the spirit of confusion, but of sound mind. - The Bible.

How to take your life back and stop the cycle of defeat.

Every day we get attacked by worries, fears, stresses, anxieties, pain and hurt, and that is all before our feet hit the floor in the morning.

And we go through this everyday, all day, for as long as we have been alive, but our spirit, our true selves, often gets pushed aside and or silenced. 

This is where self doubt, questioning ourselves, second guessing ourselves comes in, and this is where we get feelings of stress, anxiety and worry from, this can go so deep it can show up as a form of depression.

These things can not only slow your progress down in life, it can also, put it on hold.

You make think your making progress, constantly moving, in constant motion, but your on a tread mill and nothing is changing, you aren’t seeing the progress, you feel or know you should be seeing.

Its meant to discourage you so much that you start feeling hopeless, you stop feeling motivated, you don’t even feel like you anymore and life has become a form of existence and resembles nothing of what you envisioned. 

Do you think that dream or goal was placed in your heart for no reason?

Well, I am sorry to inform you, but you, my friend are not that good.

Every good idea comes from inspiration of God.

All good gifts are from God. - The Bible.

These goals, dreams you have are glimpses of what God wants to give you.

Joseph and Jacob both saw dreams or visions.

We are called to live a life of abundance, prosperity, joy, peace and love.

We were created to be more than conquerors, not just get by and accept what ever life throws at us.

We have divine authority and rights as children of God.

but what good is all of this authority if you don’t know how to access it?

Actually, Its not. 

It just lays dormant and useless. until, well thats up to you.

Are you tired of struggling, while watching life pass you by?

Are you talking yourself down instead of up?

Are you not happy or satisfied with situations or circumstances in your life?

Are you experiencing worries, doubts and stresses?

Are you losing sight of your dreams?

Are you tired of just, being tired?

Then now is the perfect time for you to start taking back control over your life.

Stop the cycle of defeat and move forward into all the abundance that God has promised you

Jesus came to give us a life of abundance. - The Bible.

_____________________________________________________________________

I hope this inspires, uplifts and restores hope where it has been lost.

I pray you find the peace and wisdom needed to navigate this life.

I hope and pray you never forget that you were graced for life.

It is my mission and my personal goal to help as many people as possible

to know, understand and operate in the authority that we were all given,

in Jesus name, Amen.

If you are interested in finding out more on

Assuming your authority, taking the next step.
