YOU ARE HERE TO WIN!

When you come into contact with people who don’t believe as you do and they’re speaking things that you don’t subscribe to, what do you do? Me? I quickly inch my way out of that conversation.😩😳 Unless that person has a vast amount of knowledge about said subject and I’m willing to hear another side of it, I’m not listening - I’m exiting the conversation.

Of course, some conversations are non-negotiable. Like racism. There is no one in the world that can show me another side of racism that could make me think differently about it. There’s just one evil side. But I said that to say this: I was having a conversation with someone last week and he said that he lost a lot of money in Luna (cryptocurrency) and should have listened to his instincts and moved the cash he made off the platform before it crashed and he lost everything. (Apparently he went from $59K to $111.00 overnight).

Then he said, “I will never do that again, I will never invest in crypto again because all of crypto will crash and everyone will lose their money.” I smiled and exited the conversation by saying, “Ooooh yes that’s tough! I gotta run, you have an awesome day!” Should I have stayed in the conversation and tried to convince him otherwise? ABSOLUTELY NOT.

People who are sad, angry, disillusioned, or discouraged sometimes have a lot of passion in them to talk you into agreeing with their position, pulling up to their table, and joining their sad conversation. Then 10 minutes later, you are just as disillusioned, sad, angry, or discouraged as they are. There are times to console someone and there are times to bounce. I bounced.

The thing to know upfront is: WHERE DO I STAND ON THIS ISSUE? And when you know where you stand, YOU HOLD THAT STAND UNTIL JESUS COMES.😀 Wavering, staggering, and being wishy-washy happens when we are unsure about what we believe and unsure about what we should do. But when we have made a decision and we are standing firm, solid and irresolute, believing and trusting God on the issue, then it doesn’t matter what happens, or what it looks like, WE REMAIN THE SAME. Unwavering, and immovable.

Whether it’s crypto, stocks, a relationship, your job, your money, or your healing - MAKE A DECISION AND STAND. Refuse to waver, refuse to enter into unbelief, and do not be drawn in by what you see with your natural eyes. The enemy of your soul is determined to see you crash and burn, but what you and I have in us, is stronger, bigger, better, and has more authority - than what the enemy is using to come against us. Satan always loses, we always win!

Don’t quit, don’t flip-flop, just stay in faith. Maybe you’re tired of taking L’s - OK I get that, it happens to everyone. If that’s the case just take a week/some time off and do nothing, relax, practice self-care, and treat yourself to something nice. Then get back up and GET RIGHT BACK IN THE GAME. You are not a quitter, you were put on earth to win, SO WIN!
