When you believe, you activate God’s power. But if we don’t guard our minds and constantly cast down these wrong thoughts, then over time we’ll get worn down and eventually we will give in. “Well, Joel. I’d love to believe what you’re saying but you don’t know my situation. I don’t see how it could ever change. It’s been this way so long.” No, when you dwell on thoughts like that, you are tying the hands of Almighty God. If you could see behind the scenes right now you would see God arranging things in your favor, lining up your vindication, planning your breakthrough. But all of a sudden God says to the angels, “Hold on everybody. We’ve got to take a break. We’ve got to put this project on hold.”
