"BET ON YOURSELF"

"BET ON YOURSELF" There is an old saying that says "put your money where your mouth is."  One thing you have to remember about moving in your dream is that it will be a risk.  You are going to take a HUGE RISK at some point to see your dream come to pass.  That risk may be leaving a job, it may be travelling, or gathering the resources to get your dream off the ground.   One day you are going to have to choose to go ALL IN AND BET ON YOURSELF.  This is a challenge but it is also an opportunity.  It is the time when you get to test the limits and MOVE WITH NO FEAR. Are you ready to bet on yourself? If you are, you are one step closer to your dream coming true. I bet you've had many jobs and other opportunities that you couldn't stand. Be honest you have done many things that you didn't want to do, but you did them because you had to.  Think about this.  You spent all of that time BUILDING SOMEONE ELSE'S DREAM.   Understand that even when you BUILD YOUR DREAM you may have employees and people that work with you.  However, this will be YOUR DREAM.  At some point the owner of these companies you worked for had to BET ON THEMSELVES.  They took a risk and you were a part of the fulfillment of their dream. I want to tell you that it may be time to do the same. I decided to BET ON MYSELF.  Do you have something that you believe can be a blessing to yourself and others?  I know you do.  That's why you need to move in faith and BET ON YOURSELF. Scripture tells us of a woman that had "an issue of blood."  We understand that she had been bleeding for twelve years but one day that would all stop.   It would stop because she was about to BET ON HERSELF and tap into the SUPERNATURAL POWER OF JESUS. I'd like to take some time to connect the idea of betting on yourself to receiving supernatural aid.  Scripture reminds us over and over that God honors faith.

"BET ON YOURSELF" Here is what people miss in this wonderful narrative.  Scripture says "she thought to herself If I can just touch the hymn of his garment I will be healed."  Did you see that?  She thought to herself.  This was not a group decision.  She was desperate for a change.  HER CHANGE! Because she was desperate she decided to make an independent decision and GO AFTER WHAT SHE NEEDED!  The reality is that the decision to go after your dream will come after much thought and prayer.  However, after you come to a conclusion you may find that the only way to do it is to GO FOR IT!   That's what this woman did.  SHE WENT FOR IT.  Scripture tells us that she even had to fight through a crowd of people to get to Jesus.  Did you see that?  She didn't let the crowd stop her.  She was willing to BET ON HERSELF in spite of any obstacles that would come about. SHE BET ON HERSELF AND SHE CASHED IN! This woman was healed and scripture tells us that Jesus said he "felt power come out from him."  This was a bold move by this woman but the move she made lead to SUPERNATURAL AID.   I just believe that there is supernatural power waiting for you when you BET ON YOURSELF.  I believe God is just waiting to show you just how far you can go when you make a decision to bet on yourself and MOVE IN FAITH!  Let's pray.  Lord God, I believe you have the power to make my dreams come true.  Because of my faith in you and my desperation for a miracle I am ready to bet on myself and pursue my dream.  I do this knowing that I am not moving alone, but that only through your supernatural power can my dream come to pass.  I understand that faith without works is dead and today I decide to bet on myself and put my faith and works together.  You have the power and I believe that one touch from you will release me into my dream.  I'm going for it. In the name of the Lord Jesus. Amen.
