“Then he touched their eyes and said, ‘According to your faith will it be done to you’ ” (Matthew 9:29, NIV)
God created us as visual beings. He is a creative God, and He’s given us the ability to create as well. It all starts with what you see in your mind’s eye. Everyone has their own mental picture of the way they see themselves, their family and their future. This picture determines what kind of life you live. If you have an image of success, victory, health, happiness and abundance, you will naturally gravitate toward that. But if you have an image of lack, defeat and mediocrity, that negative mental picture will keep you from God’s best.
Remember, if you’re going to be successful, you have to first see yourself as successful — the way God sees you. According to your faith, it will be done to you.
Faith comes by hearing the Word. That’s why it’s so important to take time every day to study and meditate on God’s promises. Let His truth sink down deeply into your heart. Open your eyes of faith so you can see yourself rising higher. Choose to have a vision of victory and be all that you can see!
Father God, I pray today that You would open the eyes of my heart and reveal Yourself to me. Show me Your ways. Show me Your love. Help me to see myself the way You see me so that I can be all that You have created me to be in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Christ in me the hope of glory.

Oh Liz, you are so right about this. We need to have the R.M.A. in our life (Right Mental Attitude) which will help us keep a positive faith in God. I have known some who have come to me with a very negative attitude and wondered why nothing ever went right for them. From the time they wake up in the morning until they go to bed at night, they are complaining about this and that and saying that God has forsaken them?? No, God's love is unfailing and is just a prayer away however, try telling that to a negative believer. I normally talk to them in an equal voice, (never talk down to them) and explain that by having a positive attitude, it helps to keep the stress levels down and therefore enables them to “think it over” and ask, Is it really that bad? Yes, they may have money problems, or family and work problems, but they can be discussed and plans can be made to ease them. I then say that by adding God into the equation, it gets easier. A lot of people will not discuss their problems because they believe it does not concern anyone else except them! Well, it does! It concerns God. God does not want to see his children unhappy, so having a positive faith, nothing is impossible if you have the R.M.A. and organise yourself with Self Discipline and lots of prayer
Amen my sister ,and this is why I love this verse and hold to it so dear with the other promise of our Heavenly Father but always remembering that our timing and our Heavenly Father is not the same ,but he is always on time ,the verse is Ephesians 3:20-21 20Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, 21to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen. love you my sister
Amen Liz
As we put our Faith in His Word, Praise God then it grows. On the other hand, we have had many negative things happen to us in our life. So we fall into, " image of lack, defeat and mediocrity" so because we have seen those things work so effectively in our life, they are not hard to believe. The cool thing is however, the Power of God is so Strong, as we begin to put our Faith in Him and His Word, instead of the negative, we will see results. We have already seen our Faith work the negative, so we will Trust in the Positive. To God be the Glory
