The Treasure Within You
By T.D Jakes

Something inside of you has been locked up. God wants to unlock it. He knows what gifts and abilities and dreams He has put in you. He knows how
to touch them and how to bring them out.
When you get beyond your low self-esteem and stop comparing yourself to other people, and you begin to accept what God has given you, then you are
in a position for Him to bring to birth all He has created you to be.
There are things in you that have been overlooked by you, ignored by others, perhaps even ridiculed by some, but God calls those traits His treasure.
And He wants to bring it forth!
Everyone alive is a Treasure Chest. Each one holds something God intends
for them to use in fulfilling His purpose for their life. And in the process, they will bring Him glory. My friend, find out what treasure God has hidden in you, because the devil is going to fight you for it. He knows the treasure is there
and he wants it for his purposes. He wants it bad.
So many today are fighting the devil and don't even know why. It's because they haven't discovered the treasure that lies within them. The devil knows it's there. God knows it's there. So the fight is on.
Your treasure is powerful in God's service, and the devil knows it. What he doesn't know is that your treasure is also a weapon you can use to defeat him in your life. The devil will do anything he can to sabotage your self-esteem.
He doesn't want you developing your assets because he doesn't want you to give birth to what God has put within you. Being loosed means that your treasure has been released. It means that the gift that has been bound within you has been issued an emancipation proclamation. It means that you are FREE to blossom and bring forth fruit! When the treasure within you is loosed, you are at liberty to deliver God's purpose in your life.
Just as giving birth, in the natural, may require intense effort on your part, so it may in the spiritual. You may have to PUSH (Pray Until Something Happens) with all your might....So get ready, because soon you'll hold a treasure in
your arms.

 In His Love,

Pastor Brad Qualls
