The truth is that you always win. The reality is that life can hit hard enough for you to forget this fact.

Seriously, no matter how long you’ve experienced unemployment, you must remember that your faith fight is fixed in your favor. Pastor Patrick Ligon always says that "God knows exactly what he is going to do." We see this explained in Jeremiah 29:11 which states:

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." - Jeremiah 29:11 NIV

You are not a has-been, a one-shot wonder, a wash out, or something worth being discarded. You’re fearfully and wonderfully made. You are more than a conqueror. You are God’s prized possession and he has a plan for you. Unemployment simply can’t change this fact.

So yes, you may have experienced feedback in the form of a job loss, but extended unemployment is not God’s will for you and I don’t see onee scripture that says unemployment is God’s judgement either.

Where you’re at, is not your end. Whether you, the devil, others, or uncontrollable circumstances caused your unemployment, there’s hope.

So, here are three steps to get you in faith for reemployment.

1. Believe in God’s Love

The Cultivating Your Garden post said it perfectly. You got to believe that God loves you, is fighting for you, and wants you to win. Relax and trust God! He has great new opportunities for you! Remember, don’t let the devil trick you into thinking that unemployment is God’s punishment either.

2. Be Bold Enough to Accept God’s Correction

In some many cases,  my unemployment was caused because I did something I shouldn't have. If you can’t relate, feel free to skip to step three. This step may not apply to you.

If it does, relax. Accept God’s correction, make the necessary adjustments, and move forward in integrity. There’s still hope. God deliverance is not predicated on who did or didn’t cause your unemployment. It’s based on his unwavering commitment and love for you.

3. Boldly Dream Bigger & Speak

Don’t let your unemployment dictate the size of your dreams! Believe for full restoration and then some! You just have to continuously say “when there’s a casting down there’s also a lifting up and new opportunities are overtaking me!” So dream bigger than ever before and then let God top that!
