Maybe you feel like you're in a hole with no way to get out and no one around to offer a ladder so you can climb out? You think you're in an impossible situation. You think your vision will never come to pass...that your financial situation will never turn around...that your child will never get on the right path. You're on the verge of giving up hope. If any of that describes you, I'm writing to you today. I want to share with you three keys to getting a turnaround in any impossible situation. If that's what you need today, keep reading!
I have learned that the power of prayer is amazing. A prayer can break strongholds. When you pray earnestly, everything you ask that is according to God’s will comes to pass. I have broken chains of evil through prayer and I believe with all my heart that no evil shall follow me but goodness and mercy. Prayer is my communication with God.
Psalm 124 paints a beautiful picture of the power of prayer:
“If the Lord had not been on our side—let Israel say—if the Lord had not been on our side when men attacked us, when their anger flared against us, they would have swallowed us alive; the flood would have engulfed us, the torrent would have swept over us, the raging waters would have swept us away. Praise be to the Lord, who has not let us be torn by their teeth. We have escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped. Our help is in the name of the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.”
I cannot stress enough how important is prayer in a person’s life.
I know that these are not great mysteries but reminders. So often we spend our time worrying and dreading our fate instead of understanding that the battle is not over. For you, the battle isn't over even when it's over. You serve a God who can resurrect the dead and turn around your situation! Remember, He's rescued you from defeat before. Trust Him to do so again. He can turn around your situation!
Therefore, here are your reminders if you're looking for a turnaround:
- Realize that there are no impossible situations. You serve a God that specializes in the impossible! (Matthew 19:26)
- Pray. Take it God in real, honest and specific terms. Don't just complain to Him. Ask Him to do something! (Philippians 4:6)
- Understand that your victory is assured no matter what. Even things that appear to be "bad" in your eyes, are really good because the Lord has not finished his work in you nor in your life. (Romans 8:28)
- Take positive action. Ask, seek and knock. Faith is not passive. Even while believing the Lord for miracles, you keep asking and keep seeking and keep knocking. You don't know which door He will open for you. (Matthew 7:7)
- Only speak victory. What you say has the power to change the entire course of your life and the lives of those you influence. Take great care of what you say. (Proverbs 18:21)
It is so critical that you take control of your spirit, your mind, your attitudes and your words when you're facing immense challenges. You must not allow a place for casual conversation and skeptic attitudes in your circle or in your own thoughts. Once you get focused on possibilities and have lifted up your concerns to God, let them go and begin to look forward to your turn around! It may not happen overnight but stay in faith and keep reminding God what He promised you day in and day out. Instead of complaining say, “God you said”. Instead of begging say, “God you said”. Instead of describing the circumstances say, “God you said”. If you get in a habit of praying God’s promises back to Him, you will see God at work in your life. His Word and all of His promises are yes and Amen, because He is able to turn it!
Enter into Prayer
Father, I thank you for the divine promise of a turnaround in my life in Jesus’ name. Lord, every area where I recorded failure in my life, business, career, marriage, family or ministry, let there be a supernatural turn around in Jesus’ name. Lord, visit the life of my husband and children and bring a divine turnaround for greatness in Jesus’ name. Every generational yoke of failure in my life, cause it to break permanently in Jesus’ name. I decree and declare that rejection, lack and confusion will no longer reign in my life and family in Jesus’ name. I call forth divine turnaround, angelic helpers of destiny and encouragers to locate me in Jesus’ name. I call forth divine promotion in my life and family in Jesus’ name. According to Isaiah 60:16, divine nourishment and royal provisions are mine in Jesus’ name. Father let me be enveloped in the peace and tranquillity of your Divine abiding presence in Jesus’ name. I decree that I have rest from sorrow, turmoil, confusion, violence and every negativity in Jesus’ name. I call forth the glory of God to manifest in every area of my life in Jesus’ name. I prophesy that my family and me have been lifted out of every shortcoming, failure and lack of profitability in life and we are operating in divine success and abundance in Jesus’ name.
What the enemy intended to harm me, Father you intended it all for my good. You brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people. (Genesis 50:20) Joseph was sold into slavery and ended up in prison but he would have never have thought that Pharaoh would appoint Him second in charge and that would change the fate of a nation. Therefore, I know yet out of the ashes and brokenness in my life, You can bring forth beauty beyond measure, and a hope for a better future than I could ever imagine possible. Father, turn around the things that the devil intended for harm (Romans 8:28) and release Your grace into my life because I trust You. I praise You today that You are my hope, provider and deliver in every situation. As I put my trust in You, I know You will move supernaturally to bring about a change of events that I never thought possible in Jesus resurrection power, Amen.
