Fast From Wrong ThinkingSample

DAY 33 — “God Is Mad At Me”

Today we are fasting from the thought that says, “God is mad at me.”

Many people think the reason bad things happen to them is because God is mad at or against them. Or perhaps you don’t think He’s overtly against you, but that He’s just not aggressively helping you. If you think God is mad at you, you’ll feel discouraged and rejected. You won’t expect good things to happen.

Let’s take this thought captive. The word, captive, means: “to conquer with a sword.” We conquer wrong thinking with the sword of God’s Word!

LET’S CHANGE IT TODAY

1. God is not mad at you; He is mad about you! This is something I started saying many years ago when I discovered God’s love. When you accept this thought, you will have confidence, expectation, and peace. How do I know this is true? Romans 8:38–39 says, “Nothing can separate you from the love of God . . . ” You are forgiven, and you are LOVED.

2. Think this new thought: God loves me as much as He loves Jesus. In John 17:23, Jesus says to the Father, “. . . that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, as much as You have loved Me.” What an amazing truth. God loves you as much as He loves Jesus!

3. He thinks precious thoughts about you all the time! Psalm 139:17–18 says, “How precious are Your thoughts toward me, O God . . . If I should count them, they would outnumber the sand. When I awake, I am still with You!”

4. What God said to Jesus is the same for you. “You are My beloved Son. In You, I am well-pleased.” (Mark 1:11) Hallelujah! He doesn’t sound mad at Jesus. He sounds mad about Him! 1 John 4:17 says, “As He is, so are we.”

5. There is nothing God is holding back from you. Romans 8:32 says, “He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not also with Him freely give us all things.” Rejoice in this truth!

6. You are not condemned. Romans 8:1 says, “There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus…” God approves of you because of your faith in Jesus, not because you have done everything right. God’s love for you is non-negotiable. Jeremiah 31:3 says He loves you with an everlasting love. It is an unstoppable love!

THINK IT AND SAY IT

God is not mad at me; He is mad about me. He loves me as much as Jesus. He thinks precious thoughts about me all the time. I am His beloved, and He is mine!

There is nothing God is holding back from me. He didn’t hold back His best; therefore He won’t hold back the rest.

I refuse to be condemned. I am forgiven. I reject the thought that He is mad at me or against me. God is for me and not against me. His love toward me is unstoppable, in Jesus’ Name!
