Be Of Good Cheer - Give God Thanks Series - Week 13

BE OF GOOD CHEER!

Hello dear readers!  BE OF GOOD CHEER is a message from God and His timing is perfect!  I actually wrote this over a week ago but never seemed to be able to post it.  I was getting frustrated with myself that I had not put a new post up lately.  I just could not be totally satisfied with my words.  I felt it was not conveying this message with enough exuberance.  So I just kept listening for God to give me the excitement needed.  And sure enough it has arrived today! 

God's timing is so perfect!  I love when I get to see it firsthand.  This message telling us to be of good cheer could not come on a better day, the day after Easter Sunday.  We just celebrated what Jesus did for us.  He saved us!  It is fresh on our minds.  God planned this for this week because it will be easier than ever to accept it and use it.

This is our verse to focus on this week.  We have words from Jesus, our Savior!

John 16:33 (KJV)

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. 

Did you know you can choose to be of good cheer?  Despite your circumstances good or bad you can choose to be of good cheer.  What a fantastic revelation God just gave us!  I never paid much attention to that verse or that command by God.  To Be of good cheer is easier than you think.  Jesus spoke to the disciples before he left earth and told them they would have tribulations and trouble but to be of good cheer.  With Easter still in our thoughts it is a breeze to be of good cheer because Jesus did overcome the world!  He did!

Let me start by telling you what good cheer means to Jesus.  To be of good cheer is beyond being happy or even pretending to be happy. It means to rejoice! To exude happiness in praise. No matter your circumstances. You have eternal life!!

Do you know if you simply say “I am of good cheer” can make you of good cheer.  To say those words will change your outlook.  It will change your attitude.  It will change your mood.  It will change your life.  Once you start saying these words instead of what you normally say will make you of good cheer and want to rejoice, shout, and exude happiness no matter what you are dealing with in everyday life.  Seriously!  You know God's words are powerful and meaningful.  You know we should speak the Word of God over our circumstances.  You know these things.  So I don't have to convince you of the power of our tongues.  Today we have a set of words to use from Jesus.  Maybe it is a new set of words for us.  It is for me!  I love it!

These few simple words "I am of good cheer" can change your daily life.

Instead of saying I am tired,

I am stressed,

I am overwhelmed,

I am struggling,

I am sad,

I am done,

I am mad,

I am disappointed,

I am hurt,

I am grouchy,

I am frustrated,

I am disgusted,

I am annoyed,

I am lonely,

I am miserable,

I am broke,

I am exhausted,

I am ugly,

I am fat,

I am out of shape,

I am old...

Say "I AM OF GOOD CHEER!"  "JESUS HAS OVERCOME THE WORLD!"

Keep reading to the end of this message from God. You can change your life with the right words. We women are hard on ourselves very often. Just listen to your words for one day and you may say one of these statements or something negative about yourself.  Just what if you said something new. Something amazing could happen. And all you have to say throughout the day is "I am of good cheer." This is easy girls! 

You wonderful ladies are of good cheer.  I will declare it for you!  I declare it right now!  Anyone reading this right now is of good cheer whether you feel it or not.  You may not feel of good cheer but have you said it aloud? Have you declared it to God?  Have you expressed it to God to give him thanks for your eternal life?  Have you declared it to the earth?  Have you declared it to Satan?  Have you declared it to the angels so they can take action on your behalf? Have you declared it to your family and friends so they know you mean business with your faith?

I doubt many of us have spoken “ I am of good cheer.”  I have not until now.  What a amazing revelation God is giving us.  We know the Word of God can change our lives.  With Easter still in our hearts and minds we can be of good cheer.  Thank you Father God for your timing has given this message even more meaning than if I had published it over a week ago. 

I declare to all that "We are of good cheer.!"  To say God's words is giving God thanks!  To say "I am of good cheer!" is giving God thanks.  Change your words and this will also give God thanks as he looks down upon you doing what Jesus asked of us.
