Faith Needs No Permission

The power of alignment is perfect and amazing when God is present, the reason why many of us fail to experience it fully is due to the lack faith and not being present. Every waking moment of our lives God is constantly working things out for our good even while we sleep and especially in the moments when we need him but forget to call on him. Depression, suicide, anger, just to name a few are at an all-time high today and one of the obvious reasons I see is due to the lack of knowledge of who God is, his love and his promises. One of the most common struggles we all experience or have struggled with at some point in our life is needing to be in control and being proactive In problem solving. The focus need not to be on the problem but on the solution and in order to create solutions we must first be understanding of the fact that everything has a purpose and was already written in our life story when God created us. Who are we to question or try to undo what God has already ordained?  There are not many people that are open to the facts of life some people are more open to hearing things that are comforting than the truth. There are two types of people in the world the people that are willing to talk and the people that are willing to work, talking is always easier to do than taking the steps to changing the things we do not want in our lives. There is a great irony in life that we have been taught or should I say trained to believe  that we need the  permission of others to live a life of purpose and fulfillment , and without the knowledge of who God says we are we lose sight that living free is our birth right.

Saturday morning, I woke feeling a little defeated about a situation that has been very pressing in my life for quite some time now. Instead of wallowing in self-pity I messaged my sister in Christ, and I asked her to keep me in her prayers, and she reminded me to hold on to God’s promise and watch a video that she had sent to me the night before. The irony to that was I never got a chance to watch it that night but what I was most present to and grateful for was the fact that neither one of us knew I would wake up feeling the way I felt but God knew and the video spoke to me on every level and confirmed that this too shall pass. The gift was not in the video the gift was in my obedience to be vulnerable to ask for prayer, the gift was in my sister’s obedience to remind me and share a message with me. The blessing was in me being present to recognize God’s love and perfect alignment despite how I was feeling, not the situation did not change immediately but in that moment my faith and hope was in control. In the video Steve Harvey said “faith needs no permission “we all need to get present to who God Is and who He says we are. It does not matter what your resume says you are qualified to live a blessed and abundant life because that is what God promised us and the only thing standing in the way is you and fear.

“Validation From The World Means Nothing When We Align
Ourselves With God’s Plan.”

In closing the question, I want to ask is how deep is your faith? Are you still waiting for permission to live the life you were created to live? Living unapologetically is a choice that we all have the free will to make, no one is responsible for our happiness no one is responsible for our peace, and no one is responsible for the choices we make or do not make. Leaving your life up to chance and in the hands of others is does more harm to us than it will benefit us in the long run.  Allow God to be the CEO of your life, you be the manager of your attitude and your mind, and you become the boss of your actions. Life is not easy, but it can be simple when we learn to Pray with faith, have faith and work, be open to changes and patient with ourselves and the process. To live an unapologetic lifestyle is to be brave, hopeful, and to never seek validation from the world. Not taking a stand for yourself is worse than being afraid to fail, because you can feel fear and still act but to not get started is the same as not having faith or a vision for your life. Rise up and continue to show up with confidence in your assignment and your ability to master self and be true winner at life without permission.
