The "If" Zone

So I was on my walk this morning and towards the end of it I was praying for our worship night here at the church at which I sing every month. I was praying and this wording came out of my mouth, " God I don't want to live in the "if" zone". Now, I do plan to explain, but if you have ever been through any kind of affliction or adversity in your life, you probably already know what I mean.

What it means to me is, I don't want to live my life based on IF I can do something. It's a powerful thing, God has been speaking to me so much through His Word and the confession of His Word is completely setting me free. But there are scriptures I have known my entire life that I am teaching Parker, our 4 year old, that God is throwing back in my face.

Examples: 

Philippians 4:13, " I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength."

Joel 3:10, " Let the weak say, ' I am strong".

I have had to keep catching myself, and I know for a fact that this is the Holy Spirit who has opened my eyes to the subtleties of how I speak things. I have always been so careful with what comes out of my mouth, but it's time to go to a new level. I say, " Well IF I am feeling good, or IF my body will cooperate." Instead of, " I can do ALL things." There's no if's with God I've noticed. The more I confess the Word, it's a matter of fact, not if this and if that.

So my prayer today was that God would help me to get out of that "If" zone. I am already moving forward so much. Walking 3 miles almost everyday, driving now, even though this is the best I have felt in months....these are big steps and all because of the Word. I just want the Word to completely overtake me.

I will step on that stage tonight, I will be strong, I will glorify God, my body will cooperate and I will not question it. I will continue to recover and get stronger and stronger everyday. I will, I will, I will...I am so amazed by Him. Keep it coming Jesus, keep making more like You.
