speak to yourself
Thank God for prophecies, thank you Lord for God speaking to us through others. Thank God for all the varied ways He communicates with us. But by far my favorite is when God speaks to you in your own spirit, no intermediary, just you and God.
Once He begins to speak in your life the next most important voice you need to hear is your own. Just like the opening thought, thank God for others but until we individually begin to speak powerfully and consistently to ourselves nothing will really change and we will stay needy. We will always be looking to external sources to encourage and strengthen us.
We need to move from being needy to being a point of supply. Wanting to see real change in your life? I am looking for unrecognizable change but it will never happen sustainably until I fix what I am saying about myself and circumstances. No one else can do this for me or you, this is the bit we get to do.
Speak to yourself as if your life depends on it.
