Ever heard someone say this? \u201cUNDER the circumstances, I\u2019m making it\u201d? Quite frankly, those dear souls in Southern Texas and Louisiana could get away with saying it and it’s not just a saying for them — it is literal! But in spite of anyone’s circumstances, there are other options for declaring where we are and how we are. You\u2019ve also probably heard someone say \u201cI\u2019m UNDER so much pressure with this project\u201d. If that\u2019s our response, in any case, it\u2019s time for us to get out FROM UNDER.<\/p>\n

In our early years of marriage, my relentless husband worked several jobs to help us make ends meet. He didn\u2019t complain about working hard. It seemed the harder he worked, the more gratifying it was for him. I heard him often declare, \u201cI perform better UNDER pressure.\u201d And pressure is what came his way. Pressure to succeed; pressure to look the best and be the best and achieve the most. Stress and Pressure were holding his hand and they were taking him \u201cUNDER\u201d. Along the way, he had an \u201caha\u201d moment and realized declaring \u201cunder pressure\u201d was adding to the “pressure”. I think one of the most significant moment in his life was that \u201caha\u201d moment when he changed that thinking, talking AND living. His new mode of operation was “low profile, low pressure — HIGH impact”.<\/p>\n

No longer should we be declaring \u201cwe are under\u2026..\u201d! We should be declaring \u201cI am ABOVE and not beneath ANYTHING!\u201d How is that possible? Deuteronomy 28:13 tells us how \u201cThe LORD will make you the head and not the tail, and you only will be ABOVE, and you will not be UNDERNEATH….. IF YOU listen to the commandments of the LORD your God, which I charge you today, to observe them carefully.\u201d THAT picture changed everything about the way my sweetheart saw himself. He no longer spoke \u201cpressure\u201d over himself. He started speaking freedom and overcoming pressure with common sense approach to life. \u201cI don\u2019t need the limelight. I don\u2019t need or want the pressure that comes with it. I want to be highly effective and have high impact on others with my life and the choices I make.\u201d It worked, because he did.<\/p>\n

Two thousand years ago, Jesus was victorious over the enemy through His death on the cross. He was victorious OVER all the powers of darkness. Now we have the victory and the power to overcome because He lives in us. We never have to be “under\u201d anything again. <\/p>\n

The fact is\u2026..we go OVER! \u201cWe OVERCOME by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony.\u201d Revelations 12:11<\/p>\n

1 John 4:4 \u201c Little children, you are from God and have OVERCOME them, for He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still living \u201cunder pressure\u201d or \u201cunder the circumstances\u201d? Here, take this shovel and get out from UNDER and rise to that place ABOVE it all! Be an OVER-COMER!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
