Turn “Need to” Into “Want to”

“Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope: and hope doesn’t disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” (Romans‬ ‭5:3-5‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

In life, many things happen to us, and how events affect us is how we view and attach meaning to them.

The apostle Paul had this revelation, and he taught the church to view suffering in a new light—to rejoice in suffering because it produces perseverance, proven character, and hope.

He knew how to reframe the undesirable things in life to become something that he wanted.

Suffering produces pain, but Paul reframed it to mean the training of his perseverance, character, and hope. Something bad became something precious and valuable.

We can apply this mindset to anything in life so that our trust is always in God and not in our self-efforts.

For example, if you see yourself putting on weight, your flesh may cause you to think, “I must go on a diet and exercise more so that I can lose weight.” This way of viewing the situation makes you reactive—on the defensive posture instead of wholeheartedly choosing to do something because you love it. When something is viewed as a burdensome chore, you will struggle with it.

Instead, why not detach your goal from the activity and just focus on the enjoyment of the beneficial action? You are not trying to exercise to lose weight—you are already young, healthy, slim, fit, and strong. Jesus paid for you to freely receive health and healing by faith.

When you exercise, there doesn’t have to be a goal. You can reframe your mindset and exercise just because you find it fun and enjoyable. “I like to run and feel my body challenging its limits. At the same time, I get time to enjoy the beautiful scenery that God has made, and listen to the Holy Spirit speaking to me.”

Wow, just like that, exercise without needing to gain anything from it becomes something desirable, just like the enjoyable activity of playing games for fun. Guess what, you will still reap the fitness benefits of exercise when you do it.

This method of refraining things is important because we don’t want to fall into the deception of getting things done by self-effort. Whatever is done by the flesh apart from God’s blessing has to be tiresomely maintained by the flesh.

If you’re struggling financially, and you’re always thinking, “I need to work so that I can earn money,” you’ll be perpetually stressed out, your performance at work will de-prove, and the self-reliance hinders God’s gracious provision and favor that must be received by faith.

No, you’re not working to earn money. You are a child of the wealthiest King of Heaven and earth—money is not something worth worrying about. You are always well-supplied and never lacking. God’s blessing makes you truly wealthy in all ways and He adds no sorrow nor trouble to it.

“Yahweh’s blessing brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it.” (Proverbs‬ ‭10:22‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Instead of feeling forced to work, work because you enjoy it, and because the people you deal with at work will benefit greatly from having Jesus as Lord. You would love to show them His glory through your words and deeds. When you think this way, you detach the goal of earning money from the action of working, and it just becomes an activity that you enjoy and look forward to—it becomes something very meaningful that you can be passionate about.

When you do your best at work to shine brightly for God, to showcase Christ in you, you will still be paid, and very likely, your job performance will improve. The state of mind will change from one that’s dragging your feet to work, to one that runs in, excited to embark on the next task for Jesus’ sake so that more may glorify our Father in Heaven.

Many times, God’s word says “repent”, and I agree that we can change our mind about all the ways we think negatively. Reacting by the flesh, we will always try to compensate for some lacking area by doing hard work, choosing man’s way instead of God’s way. To see a positive transformation, all it takes is a little reframing according to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

We don’t have to act like homeless orphans fending for themselves on the streets. We have a Father, and we are His beloved children. When your flesh tells you that you “need to” do something, reframe the whole thing by seeing it through Jesus’ finished work at the cross and what that sacrifice has accomplished for you. See how you can proactively “want to” do the task. Rest from fleshly self-efforts, and actively receive the supply of grace for every need!

How I Fast Under Grace

Fasting does not have to be difficult. I believe we must be wise in the way we go about it.

When I fast, I choose a day that I don’t have to go out. No physically strenuous activities that would require a lot of energy.

Nowadays, we think about food, food, food. After eating one meal, sometimes you are already planning what to eat for the next meal. However, when your body is full of food, you may feel lethargic and sleepy.

Your mind becomes dull because your body’s energy is being diverted to your digestive system. On the other hand, when you are fasting, you are able to dig in deep to listen to the Holy Spirit and what He is saying to you.

It is also an act of faith that cleanses your heart from unbelief, enabling you to receive the miraculous by faith.

On a day of fasting, I don’t eat physical food, but God’s word. It is a time to read the Bible and devour those precious words within. You will be surprised how you don’t feel physically hungry because God’s Grace is sustaining you for the day.

Revelations will jump out at you from His word and your mind becomes sharp and good at receiving what the Holy Spirit imparts to your spirit.

You must be clear on why you are fasting. It is not about atoning for your sins or trying to manipulate God into blessing you because He pities your suffering and sacrifice.

God has already blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places in Christ (Ephesians 1:3), so the ball is now in our court to receive those blessings.

Fasting does purify our faith, and make it easier to receive from God.

There is a lot more to learn about this beneficial spiritual activity of fasting—more than can be covered in just a post. Jesus said that when the bridegroom is taken away, then the friends of the bridegroom will fast (Luke 5:35). The early church as seen in the Book of Acts also fasted (Acts 13:2-3, 14:23). It continues even in the New Covenant.

If you enjoyed this devotional, you can get my ebook “How to Fast Under Grace” for $2.99 to gain a fuller revelation on the origins, various benefits and proper New Covenant understanding of fasting. Fasting under Grace is totally different from how fasting was done under the Law of Moses. It is new wine, and must be put into new wine skins: https://www.miltongoh.net/store/p20/how-to-fast-under-grace-milton-goh.html

“I’ve decided.”

Someone in our recent challenge said this recently. The resolute in her voice was uplifting and surprising at the same time.😯

Signing up for our program would require her to step up as a leader in her field and even though that is so out of her comfort zone right now, she has a clear vision for what lies ahead. And it looks like growth, hope and joy.

The perceptible shift in this client’s mindset is beneficial for all of us right now: When it came to creating meaningful change, she didn’t just want it. She decided it.

It’s an important distinction. Here’s why.

👉🏻 I’ve coached a lot of women entrepreneurs who’ve wanted things to be a certain way. They might want to start a business or build a personal brand. They might even begin taking the necessary steps to make it happen, but right when the waters get choppy 🌊—maybe someone make a comment or they experience a setback—they abandon ship.🚢

Those who decide on something are resilient in the face of hardship and opposition. They’re committed to finding solutions so that their dream can become a reality, and they prepare accordingly. They expect to encounter rejection, so it doesn’t surprise or derail them when they do. They’ve made up their mind, and nothing’s getting in their way. 💪🏻

Deciding is believing you deserve it. Wanting is wishing you deserved it.

And the ones who decide reap the benefits.💯

Think about the changes you’d like to make in your life. Are these simply daydreams, wants you aren’t really willing to sacrifice time, money, or energy on?

Or are they more? Can you see yourself being put to the test and still deciding this dream is yours?

If it’s the latter, start laying plans. Because once you’ve decided, anything is possible.

If you need help starting a business, working on your passion or living a fulfilled #bestmomlife when everyone is telling you that’s not possible, DM me. Happy to help you decide on your dreams, and create a plan to help you get there.❤️

A Total War Saga: TROY
ซื้อเกมได้ที่ https://store.epicgames.com/legendauser/a-total-war-saga-troy

A Total War Saga: TROY is the first in the award-winning strategy series to focus on the Bronze-Age Mediterranean and the legendary twenty-year conflict between the kingdoms of Troy and Mycenaean Greece, known as the Trojan War.

Total War Saga: Troy is a strategy computer game developed by the Creative Assembly Sofia and published by Sega. It is part of the Total War Saga sub-series and will be released on August 13, 2020 on the Epic Games Store, then on Steam in Summer 2021. As part of the 12 month exclusivity promotional deal with Epic Games, Total War Saga: Troy will be free of charge for the first 24h of it's release.

The game is set during the Trojan War in the Bronze Age, taking place the furthest back in time the series has ever covered.

The Greek gods featured in Troy can influence the game in similar ways to their Homeric counterparts, with their influence spanning entire factions, rather than directly intervening on the battlefield. Gaining favour with the different gods requires players to invest time or sacrifice resources, but also provides various benefits as the game progresses.

Although there is little documentation of Bronze Age naval warfare, naval combat has been included in the form of island battles, inspired by that featured in Total War: Warhammer II – Curse of the Vampire Coast. The Greek god Poseidon will play a major role in these battles.


Hero versus hero combat has been implemented in Troy, wherein two fighting heroes will be given room by nearby units, creating a circular battle area and preventing other units from intervening. Some heroes have an active battle ability called Divine Challenge, which taunts opposing characters into one-on-one combat. Eight heroes are included in the game, such as the Greek champion- Achilles, and the Prince of Troy- Hector.

A Trojan horse mechanic plays a major role within the campaign, appearing in the campaign at specific moments, and providing significant bonuses to players should it be acted upon quickly enough.

Troy introduces a new multiple resource economy that reflects the advancing pre-monetary barter economy of the Bronze Age setting. The five different resources are food, wood, stone, bronze, and gold, which can be found within different regions to varying degrees of scarcity. Food and wood are used to recruit early game units and construct simple buildings, whereas more formidable structures will require stone, and higher tier units will require bronze. Gold is vital for trade due to its universal rarity.

The diplomacy system in Troy builds on that featured in Total War: Three Kingdoms, allowing you to appease allies, your enemies in their place, allowing the player to change the entire course of the Trojan war. Other new diplomatic features which are unique to Troy will also be introduced.
