What are you Magnifying?


Whatever you focus on gets bigger, so get a bigger revelation of God.

In the last few weeks I have felt challenged to check my perspective and how I am looking at my life. As things change in shifting seasons, when you step out and go after what you feel is in your heart make sure you get your thinking lined up for the long haul and guard your heart.
People don’t always understand whatever you are seeing inside yourself, so trying to explain everything can end up creating more frustration or anxious thoughts for you and for them. I allowed and magnified the small thoughts of fear and what if’s, instead of the faith that I can.
It caused me to get lost in my head listening to the wrong voices and my perspective started shifting from
Faith - I believe I can, to Fear - I not sure I can.
I believe any idea we carry, birth and start to feed the enemy tries to steal, kill and destroy in its infancy. We need to protect and guard what matters most as we grow our dreams.
I started listening to the voices around me, some were negative or other people’s opinions of what I should do and they began to grow and rob me of what I started out so passionately to walk out.
This month I wanted to share,
Whatever you put your focus on you end up magnifying.
Anything you keep thinking about or keep your focus on grows bigger. One of the greatest things you can do is stop leaning on your understanding and allowing others to speak into your life.
Magnify the God given dreams and watch how shifting your focus shrinks everything that was rising up in your world, like weeds in a garden growing around a new plant protect it.
Magnify what matters most and follow your peace.
For where your peace is, creativity, rest and wisdom to what you really need are.
Matthew 6:6
"Here's what I want you to do: Find a quiet, secluded place so you won't be tempted to role-play before God. Just be there as simply and honestly as you can manage.
The focus will shift from you to God, and you will begin to sense his grace.
