If the enemy can deceive you into going through life unworthy, feeling wrong on the inside, then he’ll keep you from your destiny. Don’t fall into that trap. Shake off the unworthiness. Shake off the guilt, the shame, and step into your worth.

We all make mistakes. We all have shortcomings. Take the pressure off. You don’t have to work for it, just receive it. “I am worthy. I am valuable. I am approved by Almighty God.”

God says you are wonderfully made. You are talented. You are blessed. You are victorious. Now that’s good for me to speak it over you, it builds your faith, but something more powerful happens when you speak it.

Other people may not see your value. They may discount you, leave you out, try to make you feel less than. The only way that will stop you is if you let them convince you that you’re not valuable. Tune all that out and get in agreement with God.

Your worth is not based on your performance. There’s nothing you can do to make you more valuable, and there’s nothing you can do to make you less valuable.

You are worthy. You are valuable. God handpicked you. He breathed His life into you. Now, it’s up to you to receive your worth, receive your value. You don’t have to work for it; you don’t have to earn it. Just receive it. This is what faith is all about.

Your worth is not based on what you have, what family you come from, or how perfectly you live. Your worth is based on the fact that you’re a child of the Most High God. You are worthy not because of what you did, but because of what Jesus did. He made you worthy.

You are royalty. Now do your part and receive your worth. Don’t try to earn it. Don’t live performance based. Take the pressure off and just receive it. You are worthy. You are valuable. You are approved by Almighty God.

God created you in His own image. You have royal blood flowing through your veins. He crowned you with favor. He calls you a masterpiece. Now don’t let how people treat you determine your worth.

People can’t stop Him, bad breaks can’t stop Him, sickness can’t stop Him, how you were raised can’t stop Him, the wind and waves can’t stop Him. God is in complete control.

Take care of your temple: physically, spiritually, and emotionally. You’re not invincible. People may think you’re superman. You’re strong, you're gifted. You're always up, but like all of us, you’re human. You need to be refreshed.

With that blessing came persecution. Are you going to let it keep you from enjoying the blessing? It’s a test. If you focus on the persecution, trying to straighten people out, it will keep you from the greater blessings that belong to you. Step into that grace and move forward.

Sometimes, we’re holding on to things that are overwhelming us. What you won’t say no to can end up making you unhealthy. You’ve been there for everyone else; why don't you be there for you?

Proverbs says, “A man may plan his ways, but God directs his steps.” God is going to give you the right desires, at the right time, that are going to lead you to the best path for your life.

If you’re dwelling on the past, you won’t see the new thing. If you’re focused on who hurt you and what wasn’t fair, then you’ll miss your destiny. God is saying, forget the former things, quit dwelling on your mistakes. This is a new day.

Start taking time for you, for what replenishes you, for what fills you back up. This may mean you have to say no to some things. You may have to disappoint a few friends.

It’s because of your generosity and efforts, we have been able to assist those affected with the recent line of storms in our city. Your love and your reach has made us able to spread the love of Christ throughout Houston.

When you know who our God is, when you realize He created the universe, He spoke worlds into existence, He parted Red Seas, He healed the lepers, you won’t just ask Him for ordinary things. You’ll ask for your dreams; you’ll ask for what looks impossible.

When doors close, when things slow down, when people turn on you, stay in peace. God knows what He is doing. You’re coming to an end, not because it’s over, but because the best is next.

When you live depleted, it wears you down. It affects your immune system. You have to get out from under that pressure. Learn to say no.
