Week 160: Unclaimed Victories!

     Unclaimed Victories!

                                   O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?  Psalm 14:31

         • Untaken. . .

 • Available. . .

    • Unfilled. . .

       When I asked God what to write, that’s when He gave me the idea: unclaimed victories! My response was okay, but how do I start. God told me to start by looking at my own life. That jolt of reality made me take a hard look at what victories have I not claimed? Oh, my goodness!

      Quite often we pray and pray, and keep on praying never having enough faith to go and claim the merchandise. Faith is the claim ticket that is needed to release the goods.

                                           No ticket—No release!    

Worries, fears, and doubts are used to distract us. Those emotions keep our minds on overload so we won’t receive what has already been granted. That’s why it’s important for us to guard our thoughts so we won’t buy into the enemy’s lies of hopelessness and despair. 

A positive mind will let us know, if we prayed in the will of God, then just wait until the manifestation comes. It might take a minute for all the details to be worked out, but we shouldn’t lose our faith in the meantime. (See Week 24: This—Might Take A Minute!)

There is something humbling about waiting before the Lord. It builds a relationship with Him. Instead of it weakening our faith, it strengthens our trust in God. Waiting in the confidence of God proves to the enemy that he doesn’t control our thoughts.  

How to claim your victories:

• Thank God for the victory, before you see the answer.

• Don’t contradict your prayers with negative talk.

• Walk in the confidence of God—that it’s done.

• Do an action(s) to let your mind and the devil know, that you know 
               that it’s done.  

              Take an inventory of the prayers that you have already prayed. Some of them might be waiting on you to claim them. And, the ones that are not answered—yet, look for the small clouds that will tell you they’re on the way. (See Week 151: A Very Small Cloud)

                              Don’t forget to claim your VICTORIES!
