You have gifts and talents that you've not tapped into yet. There is a treasure inside you. Throughout life, negative thoughts will try to keep it pushed down. The enemy doesn't want you to reach your full potential. There are forces constantly trying to make you feel intimidated, inferior, unqualified. If you're going to fulfill your destiny, you have to shake off the negative voices. Shake off the thoughts that are telling you, I am unable. I am unqualified. Don't invite weakness. Don't give intimidation an invitation. You may feel unqualified, but before you were born, God equipped you. He empowered you You are not lacking anything. God has already stamped His approval on you. People may try to push you down, but when you know God has approved you, you realize, I don't need other people's approval. I've been equipped, empowered, and anointed by the Creator of the universe!
I know a man who was told by his high school counselor that he wasn't very smart and should focus on the lowest skilled job that he could find. I'm sure the counselor meant well, but he didn't know who this young man was on the inside. He didn't see the seeds of greatness God had planted in this young man. As a high school student, this young man's "I am" was distorted. "I am not up to par. I am not smart. I am very average." He didn't realize he was inviting that into his life, but over time it showed up.
After high school, this man got a job at the local factory and stayed at he lowest level year after year. One day the factory closed down, so he went across town and applied at another factory. This company had a policy that job applicants had to first take an IQ test. he took the test and scored the highest in the company's sixty-three-year history. His IQ score was assessed at genius level. He went on to start his own business, and he invented and patented two very successful products. Today, he is extremely blessed.
Could it be what someone has told you is keeping you from God's best? Could it be that the wrong "I Am" is keeping you from rising higher and reaching your full potential? Do what this man did. Change your "I am." Don't let what somebody told you determine your destiny. Get in agreement with God know who you are and know who you are not. "I am not lacking. I am not average. I am not inferior. I am equipped. I am empowered. I am anointed. I am wise. I am a masterpiece."
