If are the one that don't get result in life, if you are the one always loss breakthrough and if you are the one that want to always be winning, this post is for you. I title this post as THE POWER OF AN EXPECTED END.
The Bible says surely there is an end and the expectation of the righteous shall not be cut off.
Result in life is always manifested. And this result can be for your winning or losing. Every result you see in your life is from you. The enemy has no power over the results you want until you give them permission through doubt and fear. The reason why most people don't get what they want after they pray is because of what they expect from it.
What you expect is what you get. The enemy know this truth, that is why whenever a breakthrough is coming, they always try to distract you or confuse you so that you will not be able to maintain your focus on the expectation of your desire.
So if you want to keep winning in life, you must learn to maintain your expectation in any issue of your life. In the Bible verse above, it shows us what God has desire for us in any situation. Surely there is an end, no matter what you are going through, God has given you an assurance that there is an end to it. And the expectation of you the righteous shall not be cut off. Because He has win for you already in the situation. So begin right now to revisit whatever you desire before and say to it, I am winning over you, my expectation is to have you and that is my choice. I am a Victor in Christ Jesus and I am dominating everywhere.
Stand in faith and put on the consciousness and faith of God in you and let go of worry and let the imagination of the end of your expectations fill your heart and soul and feel the manifestation of the desire fulfilled.

Are you facing any giants today?
How do your giant(s) compare with Goliath?
1 Samuel 17:4 says:
“And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.”
Based on the King James Version of the Bible six cubits and a span would make Goliath over nine feet tall. However, if you believe the Jewish historian Josephus was four cubits and a span or roughly six feet six inches tall.
When you consider the average height of a man in Biblical times was five feet three inches. . . Goliath was a real giant, regardless.
1 Samuel 17:5 says:
“And he had an helmet of brass upon his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass.”
According to my historical research Goliath’s helmet weighed roughly 66 pounds and his brass coat weighed roughly 175 pounds. Can you imagine your 6’6” neighbor carrying a 175- pound backpack and wearing a 66-pound Yankees hat?
1 Samuel 17:7 says:
“And the staff of his spear was like a weaver's beam; and his spear's head weighed six hundred shekels of iron: and one bearing a shield went before him.”
The tip of Goliath’s spear. . .not the entire spear. . .but just the tip weighed approximately 20 pounds. Pick up a 20-pound bag of potatoes and imagine that weight on the end of a lengthy spear!
Without question, Goliath was a fierce-looking, trash-talking, massive killing machine who struck terror in the hearts of his opponents.
Have you faced any Goliaths today?
I’m not talking about natural Goliaths.
Is living from paycheck to paycheck. . .barely making ends meet . . . the giant in your life?
Is being unemployed or under-employed. . .the giant in your life?
Is having one of your children addicted to drugs or on drinking binges. . .a giant in your life?
Is having an unfaithful spouse. . .either in word or deed. . .the giant in your life?
Everyone has some type of giant in their life. The one obstacle that seems overwhelming at least in the natural.
So how do you deal with your giants?
What was David’s first response when he saw and heard Goliath insult Israel and their great God, Jehovah?
Believe it or not. . .the scripture seems to imply that his was the typical response. He ran out of fear. . .along with the rest of the soldiers of Israel.
1 Samuel 17:24 says:
“And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid.”
Notice the verse says. . . “all” the men of Israel fled so that must have included David who ran with them . . .fearful for their lives.
But then something happened to change David’s mind. . .he had a defining moment based on new information and bold motivation.
1 Samuel 17:25 says:
“And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that is come up? surely to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, that the man who killeth him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's house free in Israel.”
David discovered that the person who killed Goliath would receive a reward. He would be given three things:
First, not just riches but “great riches.”
Second, he would be given the hand of the King’s beautiful daughter in marriage thus making him a member of the King’s family and giving him entrance into the King’s court.
Third, his father and family would have their homes free from payments and taxes.
Upon learning of the reward. . .David made a profound statement in 1 Samuel 17:26 when he said: “for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?”
David received the right motivation for him. . . something that stirred him to action. What is your motivation?
Here are seven keys to slaying the giants in your life.

1. Show up for the battle ready to fight.
Sometimes you don’t get to pick the place or the time. . .but it’s wisdom to always be ready for the fight.
Back in the day the older folks called it being ‘prayed-up.’ Don’t know what the lingo is today but a good definition is that you don’t use God’s Word as a spare tire to be brought out when you run into trouble. On the contrary, you are to daily renew and strengthen your relationship with Him so when trouble comes, you don’t have to wonder if God’s around to help.
First, you might have to take the fight to the enemy.
1 Samuel 17:34-35 says:
“And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock: And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.”
David didn’t just defeat the lion and the bear. The scripture says David went after them when they stole what belonged to him.
Second, you have to expect the return of what belongs to you plus restitution.
There will be times in life when the enemy takes what belongs to you. He will steal your income, your home, a family member, your time or health. You must be aggressive in going after what the enemy has taken.
Proverbs 6:31 says:
“But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.”
Third, you must be ready for battle in season and out of season.
2 Timothy 4:2 in the Amplified Bible says:
“Herald and preach the Word! Keep your sense of urgency [stand by, be at hand and ready], whether the opportunity seems to be favorable or unfavorable. [Whether it is convenient or inconvenient, whether it is welcome or unwelcome, you as preacher of the Word are to show people in what way their lives are wrong.] And convince them, rebuking and correcting, warning and urging and encouraging them, being unflagging and inexhaustible in patience and teaching.”
Finally, remember you will never win a battle you don’t show up for.

2. Don’t run from the battle.
Did it surprise you earlier in this teaching when I showed you in scripture that David ran from Goliath like all the soldiers in the Army of Israel?
1 Samuel 17:24 says:
“And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid.”
Let’s face the facts of life. Troubles often come up when you least expect it.
A parent gets sick. Your house gets flooded when a pipe bursts. You lose your job due to Covid-19. It can feel overwhelming at first.
Ignoring a problem will never make it go away or lessen the intensity of the battle you’re facing.
Running in the midst of a fire fight with the devil will either make you a prisoner or a casualty but never a victor.
If someone or something is causing you a problem. . .it’s better to face the consequences.
Someone once said, if you want to be the leader of the band . . . you must be willing to face the music.
When you’re in the midst of a battle and someone yells “incoming” it’s important to know who’s in the foxhole with you.
You don’t have to run from any battle because you always know who’s with you in your foxhole and in every adversity you’ll ever face.
Psalm 118:6 the Message Bible says:
“God's now at my side and I'm not afraid; who would dare lay a hand on me?”

3. Don’t be afraid.
If you’re facing difficult, if not seemingly impossible financial or other attacks of the enemy, you can take comfort in knowing that God is in your foxhole. He’s with you no matter where or what kind of battle you’re facing.
With God by your side. . .there is no reason to fear or ever doubt the outcome of the battle.
Zephaniah 3:15 in the Amplified Bible says:
“[For then it will be that] the Lord has taken away the judgments against you; He has cast out your enemy. The King of Israel, even the Lord [Himself], is in the midst of you; [and after He has come to you] you shall not experience or fear evil any more.”
There are forty-four times in the King James Version of the Bible where we’re told to “be not afraid” and there are sixty-six times in the New Living Translation where the scripture says: “don’t be afraid.”
Let’s look at four key verses of the forty-four in the King James Bible.
“. . . be not afraid of him. . .” 2 Kings 1:15
“. . . be not afraid of them: for the LORD thy God is with thee. . .” Deuteronomy 20:1
“. . . Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's.” 2 Chronicles 20:15
“. . . Be not afraid, only believe.” Mark 5:36
These four verses tell us to not be afraid of “him” or “them” but to “only believe.”
With God on our side. . .we have no reason to be afraid.
Hebrews 13:5-6 in the Amplified Bible says:
“So we take comfort and are encouraged and confidently and boldly say, The Lord is my Helper; I will not be seized with alarm [I will not fear or dread or be terrified]. What can man do to me?”
Even though God should only have to tell us something once, sometimes we need to be reminded when we’re facing the Goliath of doubt and fear.

4. Don’t worry about what other people may think.
In the final analysis, no one else can fight your battles. No one else takes your place on Judgment Day. You and you alone are accountable for what you do or don’t do.
Everyone faces shortage … sometimes money, opportunities, courage or wisdom but there’s one area where we never experience a shortage. That’s in the opinions from others on what you should or shouldn’t do. Sometimes it’s good advice and often times it’s not.
1 Samuel 17:28-30 in the New Living Translation says:
“But when David’s oldest brother, Eliab, heard David talking to the men, he was angry. “What are you doing around here anyway?” he demanded. “What about those few sheep you’re supposed to be taking care of? I know about your pride and deceit. You just want to see the battle!” “What have I done now?” David replied. “I was only asking a question!”
Why do some of your co-workers talk about you behind your back? Why do some of your friends and even family members get angry over your initiative and desire for a better quality of life?
Your success becomes a reflection of their lack of success.
Eliab was upset because neither he, his brothers or any of the other solders in the army of Israel were willing to stand up to Goliath.
Sadly, some people, instead of fessing up to their lack of success, seek to minimize who you are, what you do or are capable of doing. . .so the comparison will not reflect poorly on them.
It’s important that you understand other people’s motivation. . .for the hurtful things they may say. . .but it’s critically important that you never allow their opinion of you to determine what you do or don’t do.
In life, there may be times when you, like David, will ask “what have I done now.”
The attitude and actions of others may not be so much as to what you’re doing as to what they are not doing.
Consider the words of Colossians 3:23 in the Amplified Bible which says:
“Whatever may be your task, work at it heartily (from the soul), as [something done] for the Lord and not for men.”
Remember, it’s not so important what others think but what God thinks about what you’re doing. That is what should have your focus and attention.

5. You choose the weapons.
There are three things you should know when it comes to choosing your weapons.
First, get rid of anything that doesn’t work for you. Eliminate anything that can be weaknesses or that will restrict your movement and possibilities of success.
1 Samuel 17:38-40 in the Contemporary English Version says:
“Saul had his own military clothes and armor put on David, and he gave David a bronze helmet to wear. David strapped on a sword and tried to walk around, but he was not used to wearing those things. "I can't move with all this stuff on," David said. "I'm just not used to it."
While King Saul’s armor didn’t weigh as much as Goliath’s it’s generally agreed by historians that his armor weighed between one and two hundred pounds. If you’ve never been used to wearing that much gear. . .it would be a heavy unmanageable load.
In the marketplace. . .remember that just because somebody else does something, it may not work the same way for you.
Second, keep looking until you find something that will work for you. Play to your strengths.
1 Samuel 17:40 in the Contemporary English Version says:
“David took off the armor and picked up his shepherd's stick. He went out to a stream and picked up five smooth rocks and put them in his leather bag. Then with his sling in his hand, he went straight toward Goliath.”
David’s weapons of choice wouldn’t work for anybody else but him. . .but that’s okay because he was the only one headed to the field of battle.
Third, you already have weapons that can defeat every foe.
2 Corinthians 10:4 in the Amplified Bible says:
“For the weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood], but they are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds.”
You have weapons at your disposal which are undefeatable in every battle you will ever face.
The Message Bible translation of 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 gives an even clearer picture of your arsenal and the purpose of your warfare.
“The world is unprincipled. It's dog-eat-dog out there! The world doesn't fight fair. But we don't live or fight our battles that way—never have and never will. The tools of our trade aren't for marketing or manipulation, but they are for demolishing that entire massively corrupt culture. We use our powerful God-tools for smashing warped philosophies, tearing down barriers erected against the truth of God, fitting every loose thought and emotion and impulse into the structure of life shaped by Christ. Our tools are ready at hand for clearing the ground of every obstruction and building lives of obedience into maturity.”
I strongly suggest that you take a few minutes to study that verse again.

6. Understand the rewards of winning.
No mistake about it, the battles you’re facing are for territory . . . for the rewards God has promised you.
1 Samuel 17:25 says:
“And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that is come up? surely to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, that the man who killeth him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's house free in Israel.”
David discovered that the person who killed Goliath would be given three rewards that appealed to him personally:
First, the warrior would receive “great riches.” God also has a benefit delivery system designed for every person who ever drew a breath on planet earth. He desires for you to be rich because He gave you the power to get wealth (Deuteronomy 8:18.)
Don’t think for a moment that the enemy doesn’t want you broke, busted and disgusted. Once you realize who’s fighting against you. . .and the weapons available to you. . .you can begin your active pursuit of the prosperity God has for you. And that would give Him more pleasure than realizing and manifesting what He intended for you to have (Psalm 35:27).
Second, victorious warrior would receive wealth and the hand of the King’s beautiful daughter in marriage. If you want to properly court the woman of your dreams, it takes money.
You may not marry for money; however, if you have to work two jobs to make ends meet, how can you see your special girl long enough to convince her to marry you?
If you’re successful in the adversities of life, then it will be much easier for you to meet, greet, treat and wed the person of your dreams.
Third, the victorious warrior will have all their bills paid in full.
The enemy wants to keep you up to your eyeballs in debt, strung out by payments and with little, if any hope, of ever becoming debt free. The enemy wants you to believe that where you are in life right now is where you’re going to stay. That’s simply not true.
The world says: “to spoils go to the victor.” When you let Him help you, when you are obedient to His word, then your financial dreams will become a reality.
Isaiah 1:19 in The Living Bible says:
“If you will only let me help you, if you will only obey my instructions, then I will make you rich.”

7. Do something with what’s in your hand.
I have a popular message entitled “7 Ways To Maximize Your Abilities” and one of the key points is to start where you are with what you’ve got.
President Theodore Roosevelt said:
“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.”
You should always start where you are with what you’ve got at the moment.
David chose five smooth stones; he didn’t choose someone else’s weapons, he chose what he knew would work for him. David then activated what he knew would empower him.
2 Timothy 1:14 in The Living Bible says:
“Guard well the splendid, God-given ability you received as a gift from the Holy Spirit who lives within you.”

Let’s review.
God gave you, yes you, abilities. . .use them.
God empowered you with abilities through the Holy Spirit . . . celebrate them.
God energizes your abilities. . .expand them.
God expects you to engage your abilities on a daily basis. . .manifest them.
In every battle you face. . .being empowered by the Holy Spirit will GUARANTEE your victory. . .and your ability to defeat every giant of debt, lack, sickness, despair, and doubt.

You can slay every giant you face by this 7 strategies.

Whatever that God reveal to you about yourself is permanent.
4. Let your heart and soul be in prosperity and what is good: proverb said Iron sharpeneth Iron. You cannot call yourself a success or light and start walking and living with darkness or people lower than your standard. And you cannot be a light and be admiring what is bad that cannot be found in Christ. You need to focus on light to keep experiencing light in your life. As a born again child of God, you are on a mission. A Mission of manifesting your God on Earth and heaven on Earth. So that those around you and those who see you, will know who God is. You eye, heart and soul need to be on prosperity, result and what is good, so that the light of God in you can awake and shine in your life. If you observe yourself, sometime you will see that when you see from your eye a negative thing, your mind is unable to interprete it, why because is not part of your being.

GayPontiff:

is your head that is idiot, if u don't like it, u will just ignore it rather than cursing ur head

The memes are really funny and entertaining

Our goal is to always be a learner. We want to receive something from everything we read.


We take notes on what we’ve read that we feel God wants us to make applicable to our lives or often share with others like you.


Your mindset is simply a collection of the dominant thoughts in your life.


Proverbs 4:23 in the New Century Version says:


"Be careful what you think, because your thoughts run your life."


If you want to be successful. . .spiritually and professionally. . .you need to learn how to collect, assimilate, activate and utilize the dominant thoughts in your life.


And we might add . . . keep your dominant thoughts the pure, the powerful and the positive from the Word of God.


Here are seven ways to develop a successful mindset. They’re not the only ways but they are the seven I felt stirred to share with you in this teaching.


1. Divine Direction


You can listen to all the financial authorities our society is celebrating at the moment . . .but if we want our success to be lasting. . .we need to seek divine direction about our ideas, our plan and the ultimate journey to our destiny from the ageless source who knows us better than we know ourselves.


Proverbs 3:5-6 in the Message Bible says:

“Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don't try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he's the one who will keep you on track.”


There are times when every believer doesn’t know what to do or which way to go, but there is NEVER an acceptable excuse for thinking you can’t find out.


If you try to figure things out on your own . . .to solve your problems by yourself then you don’t need God.


Simply said, only one of you will be working on and through the problem, situation or attack. . .that’s either you or Him.


As the verse says, you must “. . .listen for God’s voice in everything you do. . .”


The reason you listen for His voice is because He’s the one who will “. . .keep you on track.”


One more encouragement is found in Isaiah 48:17 says:


“Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.”


Not only should you quit worrying and listen for His voice. . .but realize He’s the only One who will teach you to be successful in everything your hands find to do.


According to Strong’s Concordance the word profit is the Hebrew word ya`al (H3276) which means to: “gain, benefit, profit.”


Child of God, be encouraged when you follow His divine direction. He will sustain you through every attack and even cause you to “gain, benefit and profit” from the attacks of the enemy.


But the key is to follow His direction. The words of Isaiah 48:17 in the Message Bible say it even more clearly:


“I am God, your God, who teaches you how to live right and well. I show you what to do, where to go.”


2. Develop Knowledge


I’m great with numbers.


I can tell you almost exactly the number of people in a crowded room or auditorium with just a glance. I can count cash in my head with amazing accuracy. I can look at a large stack of mail and tell you right at the exact number of pieces even when the count is larger than 50.


Having said that. . .I never made great grades in Algebra, Trigonometry or Calculus for two reasons.


First, I never saw the need. . .meaning under no scenario could I figure why I needed to master these mathematic courses.


Second, and most importantly, my lack of motivation caused me to never fully understand the concepts.


Get ready for this next statement.


It’s impossible to succeed at something you don’t understand.


Knowledge allows you to navigate the future while avoiding pitfalls, sinkholes and minefields.


It’s been said that “knowledge is power.” If that’s true and I believe it is. . .then a lack of knowledge diminishes the power over your own destiny.


The Word confirms that knowledge is power in two amazing verses.


Proverbs 8:14 in the Amplified Bible says:


“I have counsel and sound knowledge, I have understanding, I have might and power.”


When you know what you need to know. . .you know you’ve got what it takes to succeed.


Proverbs 24:5 in the Message Bible says:


“A strong man knows how to use his strength, but a person with knowledge is even more powerful.”


3. Develop Confidence


If you’re not confident in your knowledge, attitude and abilities then you will become complacent in your efforts.


Psalm 71:5 in the Amplified Bible says:


“For You are my hope; O Lord God, You are my trust from my youth and the source of my confidence.”


While having others validate you, believe in you or have confidence in you is important, it’s not the deal breaker in life. Once you have faith. . .then you can get confidence.


That is why no Christian should fail because of a lack of confidence.


Ephesians 3:12 in the Amplified Bible says:


“In Whom, because of our faith in Him, we dare to have the boldness (courage and confidence) of free access (an unreserved approach to God with freedom and without fear).”


When your confidence is born in faith. . .it gives you a boldness in knowing that you can achieve anything . . . regardless of the obstacles because God is on your side.


1 John 5:4 says:


“And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:”


To know His will … we have to know His Word. Then our faith creates confidence which births boldness which produces happiness.


2 Corinthians 7:16 in the New Living Translation says:


“I am very happy now because I have complete confidence in you.”


When you’re confident in who you are, what you know and what you’re doing. . .it shows.


Your confidence will be contagious to those around you. . .giving you uncommon favor in everything your hands find to do.


Here is a statement we want you to get deep inside of you.


Fear flees when confidence in God’s Word shows up.


Psalm 86:7 in the Message Bible says:


“Every time I'm in trouble I call on you, confident that you'll answer.”

1 John 5:15 in the Message Bible says:


“And if we're confident that he's listening, we know that what we've asked for is as good as ours. “


4. Develop Motivation


What gets you going in the morning?


. . .an alarm clock?


. . .the words “it’s time to get up” spoken softly at first but increasing in volume with each passing tick of the clock?


. . .the smell of coffee wafting from the kitchen where it perked at its appointed time.


For me, it’s none of the above.


From the moment my eyes open. . .I’m ready to glorify God, terrify the devil and maximize the opportunities set before.


Am I this way because I’m in ministry. . .nope, I’m been that way since the 10th grade.


I remember sitting in an Algebra II class. . .when I wrote out the 19 things I needed to do to be the youngest United States Senator ever elected from North Carolina. I spent time in the class planning my future instead of learning something that would never impact that future. Said with due respect to all math geeks and teachers everywhere. That kind of math has its place but I knew it wasn’t in my life.


My motivation was my future. Where did my dreams come from. . .our Heavenly Father.


The word motivation is not found in any of the 12 translations of the Bible I checked but here are seven scriptures that should motivate any child of God.


First, you are a work of divine art.


Ephesians 2:10 says:


“For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.”


Second, He wants to make you happy.


Psalm 37:4 says:


“Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.”


Third, He will even show you how to be happy


Psalm 37:23-24 says:


“The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they may stumble, they will never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand.”


Fourth, He has given you potential that’s still unknown to you.


Ephesians 3:20 says:


“Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.”


Fifth, you may not understand it all. . .but He will explain it to you.


Proverbs 3:5-6 says:


“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.”


Sixth, your focus needs to be on others.


Ephesians 6:7 says:


“Work with enthusiasm, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.”


Seventh, He has created you without limitation.


Philippians 4:13 says:


“For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.”


I can’t think of any better motivation than the Word of God.


5. Develop A Strategic Plan- Bev


Proverbs 24:6 in God’s WORD Translation says:


“After all, with the right strategy you can wage war, and with many advisers there is victory.”


We need to remember that when we became born again, we were called to be spiritual warriors. Too many believers forget that when they are confronted by the problems of this world. God equipped you to overcome, remember?


If you weren’t in a war. . .then why would God tell you about your spiritual armour?


Ephesians 6:11 in the Amplified Bible says:


“Put on God’s whole armor [the armor of a heavy-armed soldier which God supplies], that you may be able successfully to stand up against [all] the strategies and the deceits of the devil.”


If the enemy is employing strategies and deceits. . .simply put. . .it means he’s waging war on you.


How serious is the war against you? Consider the words of Ephesians 6:13 in the Message Bible:


“This is no afternoon athletic contest that we’ll walk away from and forget about in a couple of hours. This is for keeps, a life-or-death fight to the finish against the Devil and all his angels.”


Our weapons may not be carnal. . .but his surely are.


The enemy uses seduction to get you in debt, deception to get you out of your marriage, rationalization as to why you aren’t tithing and manipulation to convince you that where you are is where you will stay. . .for the rest of your life.


But with the right strategies . . .you can defeat the enemy and become successful the way God wants you to be.


Wow…I was looking at Ephesians 6:13-18 which describes our spiritual armor when God showed me an amazing parallel in the Message Bible translation.


“Be prepared. You’re up against far more than you can handle on your own. Take all the help you can get, every weapon God has issued, so that when it’s all over but the shouting you’ll still be on your feet. Truth, righteousness, peace, faith, and salvation are more than words. Learn how to apply them. You’ll need them throughout your life. God’s Word is an indispensable weapon. In the same way, prayer is essential in this ongoing warfare. Pray hard and long. Pray for your brothers and sisters. Keep your eyes open. Keep each other’s spirits up so that no one falls behind or drops out.”


I’m going to share those parallels with you . . . because we don’t have time right now.


For this teaching just understand you need strategies if you want to defeat every attack of the enemy and win the war for your future.


6. Develop Resourcefulness


If I were to ask you if you were a resourceful person . . .many of you would say “yes.” But for some, there might be just a hesitation or even a small doubt based on past perception or performance.


I can spiritually prove that you’re resourceful even beyond your current level of expectation.


Dictionary.com defines resourceful as:


“Having inner resources; adroit or imaginative; "someone who is resourceful is capable of dealing with difficult situations.”


I must tell you that when I first read this definition . . .I got a huge smile on my face and a bubbling inner joy and knowing.


“Inner resources.”


Can you say “Holy Spirit?”


That’s right. . .the Holy Spirit is your inner resource.


There are seven things you should know about this inner resource but I’m only going to give you three in this teaching.


First, the Holy Spirit strengthens you when you’re overwhelmed by adversity.


Romans 8:26 in the Amplified Bible says:


“So too the [Holy] Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to offer it worthily as we ought, but the Spirit Himself goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groanings too deep for utterance.”


Second, the Holy Spirit will never withhold knowledge and/or ability from you.


1 Corinthians 1:7 in the Amplified Bible says:


“That you are not [consciously] falling behind or lacking in any special spiritual endowment or Christian grace [ the reception of which is due to the power of divine grace operating in your souls by the Holy Spirit], while you wait and watch [constantly living in hope] for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and [His] being made visible to all.”


Third, the Holy Spirit will cause you to profit.


1 Corinthians 12:7 in the Amplified Bible says:


“But to each one is given the manifestation of the [Holy] Spirit [the evidence, the spiritual illumination of the Spirit] for good and profit.”


Your inner resources become your outward resourcefulness.


Exodus 31:3 in God’s WORD Translation says:


“I have filled Bezalel with the Spirit of God, making him highly skilled, resourceful, and knowledgeable in all trades.”


7. Develop Thankfulness


Thankfulness should be a continual expression in the life of every successful believer.


As long as we recognize the origin of our creativity and opportunities then we will continue to live without limitation.


I want you to write down how God has blessed you in the past 24 hours. . .in every area of your life. Then, I want you to praise Him for it.


“But Sister Bev, this has been a rougher than usual year, what do I have to be thankful for?”


Even though nearly everyone has experienced setbacks financial and otherwise this year, we have plenty to be thankful for. There are too many basics in life that we take for granted.


The fact that you can breathe on your own, walk on your own, feed yourself. Did you have a roof over your head last night? Those are great places to start.


“Yes, but my house was foreclosed on, what do I have to be thankful for?”


The only way to escape what you’re going through is by praising God for what you’ve got.


Colossians 2:7 in the New International Version says:


“. . . rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.”


Colossians 4:2 in the New International Version says:


“Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.”


Colossians 3:15 in the Amplified Bible says:


“And let the peace (soul harmony which comes) from Christ rule (act as umpire continually) in your hearts [deciding and settling with finality all questions that arise in your minds, in that peaceful state] to which as [members of Christ's] one body you were also called [to live]. And be thankful (appreciative), [giving praise to God always].”


The Message Bible translation of Colossians 3:15 says:


“Let the peace of Christ keep you in tune with each other, in step with each other. None of this going off and doing your own thing. And cultivate thankfulness. Let the Word of Christ—the Message—have the run of the house. Give it plenty of room in your lives. Instruct and direct one another using good common sense. And sing, sing your hearts out to God! Let every detail in your lives—words, actions, whatever—be done in the name of the Master, Jesus, thanking God the Father every step of the way.”


Our thankfulness will create fruitfulness in our lives thus ensuring our success as a born-again Child of God.


One of the greatest weapons we have it a grateful heart…not just this week or on Thanksgiving Day … but every day.

If you know you are not born again please say this short prayer:
Lord Jesus I come to you today as a sinner. I believe you died for me to be save on the cross of Calvary. Right now I accept you as my Lord and personal saviour. I receive You in my heart and I am born again to serve the living God. Thank you for saving me. Amen

Our goal is to always be a learner. We want to receive something from everything we read.


We take notes on what we’ve read that we feel God wants us to make applicable to our lives or often share with others like you.


Your mindset is simply a collection of the dominant thoughts in your life.


Proverbs 4:23 in the New Century Version says:


"Be careful what you think, because your thoughts run your life."


If you want to be successful. . .spiritually and professionally. . .you need to learn how to collect, assimilate, activate and utilize the dominant thoughts in your life.


And we might add . . . keep your dominant thoughts the pure, the powerful and the positive from the Word of God.


Here are seven ways to develop a successful mindset. They’re not the only ways but they are the seven I felt stirred to share with you in this teaching.


1. Divine Direction


You can listen to all the financial authorities our society is celebrating at the moment . . .but if we want our success to be lasting. . .we need to seek divine direction about our ideas, our plan and the ultimate journey to our destiny from the ageless source who knows us better than we know ourselves.


Proverbs 3:5-6 in the Message Bible says:

“Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don't try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he's the one who will keep you on track.”


There are times when every believer doesn’t know what to do or which way to go, but there is NEVER an acceptable excuse for thinking you can’t find out.


If you try to figure things out on your own . . .to solve your problems by yourself then you don’t need God.


Simply said, only one of you will be working on and through the problem, situation or attack. . .that’s either you or Him.


As the verse says, you must “. . .listen for God’s voice in everything you do. . .”


The reason you listen for His voice is because He’s the one who will “. . .keep you on track.”


One more encouragement is found in Isaiah 48:17 says:


“Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.”


Not only should you quit worrying and listen for His voice. . .but realize He’s the only One who will teach you to be successful in everything your hands find to do.


According to Strong’s Concordance the word profit is the Hebrew word ya`al (H3276) which means to: “gain, benefit, profit.”


Child of God, be encouraged when you follow His divine direction. He will sustain you through every attack and even cause you to “gain, benefit and profit” from the attacks of the enemy.


But the key is to follow His direction. The words of Isaiah 48:17 in the Message Bible say it even more clearly:


“I am God, your God, who teaches you how to live right and well. I show you what to do, where to go.”


2. Develop Knowledge


I’m great with numbers.


I can tell you almost exactly the number of people in a crowded room or auditorium with just a glance. I can count cash in my head with amazing accuracy. I can look at a large stack of mail and tell you right at the exact number of pieces even when the count is larger than 50.


Having said that. . .I never made great grades in Algebra, Trigonometry or Calculus for two reasons.


First, I never saw the need. . .meaning under no scenario could I figure why I needed to master these mathematic courses.


Second, and most importantly, my lack of motivation caused me to never fully understand the concepts.


Get ready for this next statement.


It’s impossible to succeed at something you don’t understand.


Knowledge allows you to navigate the future while avoiding pitfalls, sinkholes and minefields.


It’s been said that “knowledge is power.” If that’s true and I believe it is. . .then a lack of knowledge diminishes the power over your own destiny.


The Word confirms that knowledge is power in two amazing verses.


Proverbs 8:14 in the Amplified Bible says:


“I have counsel and sound knowledge, I have understanding, I have might and power.”


When you know what you need to know. . .you know you’ve got what it takes to succeed.


Proverbs 24:5 in the Message Bible says:


“A strong man knows how to use his strength, but a person with knowledge is even more powerful.”


3. Develop Confidence


If you’re not confident in your knowledge, attitude and abilities then you will become complacent in your efforts.


Psalm 71:5 in the Amplified Bible says:


“For You are my hope; O Lord God, You are my trust from my youth and the source of my confidence.”


While having others validate you, believe in you or have confidence in you is important, it’s not the deal breaker in life. Once you have faith. . .then you can get confidence.


That is why no Christian should fail because of a lack of confidence.


Ephesians 3:12 in the Amplified Bible says:


“In Whom, because of our faith in Him, we dare to have the boldness (courage and confidence) of free access (an unreserved approach to God with freedom and without fear).”


When your confidence is born in faith. . .it gives you a boldness in knowing that you can achieve anything . . . regardless of the obstacles because God is on your side.


1 John 5:4 says:


“And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:”


To know His will … we have to know His Word. Then our faith creates confidence which births boldness which produces happiness.


2 Corinthians 7:16 in the New Living Translation says:


“I am very happy now because I have complete confidence in you.”


When you’re confident in who you are, what you know and what you’re doing. . .it shows.


Your confidence will be contagious to those around you. . .giving you uncommon favor in everything your hands find to do.


Here is a statement we want you to get deep inside of you.


Fear flees when confidence in God’s Word shows up.


Psalm 86:7 in the Message Bible says:


“Every time I'm in trouble I call on you, confident that you'll answer.”

1 John 5:15 in the Message Bible says:


“And if we're confident that he's listening, we know that what we've asked for is as good as ours. “


4. Develop Motivation


What gets you going in the morning?


. . .an alarm clock?


. . .the words “it’s time to get up” spoken softly at first but increasing in volume with each passing tick of the clock?


. . .the smell of coffee wafting from the kitchen where it perked at its appointed time.


For me, it’s none of the above.


From the moment my eyes open. . .I’m ready to glorify God, terrify the devil and maximize the opportunities set before.


Am I this way because I’m in ministry. . .nope, I’m been that way since the 10th grade.


I remember sitting in an Algebra II class. . .when I wrote out the 19 things I needed to do to be the youngest United States Senator ever elected from North Carolina. I spent time in the class planning my future instead of learning something that would never impact that future. Said with due respect to all math geeks and teachers everywhere. That kind of math has its place but I knew it wasn’t in my life.


My motivation was my future. Where did my dreams come from. . .our Heavenly Father.


The word motivation is not found in any of the 12 translations of the Bible I checked but here are seven scriptures that should motivate any child of God.


First, you are a work of divine art.


Ephesians 2:10 says:


“For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.”


Second, He wants to make you happy.


Psalm 37:4 says:


“Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.”


Third, He will even show you how to be happy


Psalm 37:23-24 says:


“The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they may stumble, they will never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand.”


Fourth, He has given you potential that’s still unknown to you.


Ephesians 3:20 says:


“Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.”


Fifth, you may not understand it all. . .but He will explain it to you.


Proverbs 3:5-6 says:


“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.”


Sixth, your focus needs to be on others.


Ephesians 6:7 says:


“Work with enthusiasm, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.”


Seventh, He has created you without limitation.


Philippians 4:13 says:


“For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.”


I can’t think of any better motivation than the Word of God.

Hi guys in this post I will be sharing with you how to put the word to work for you.
As we get ready to close out 2020, we need to get back to basics. Most Christians know it but from time to time we need to be reminded of certain biblical principles.

This most basic one is not forgetting to put the Word of God to work in your life …daily.

“What happens to so many Christians is they pray a scripture over a problem... then they leave it alone…eventually giving up when nothing happens. I feel the Holy Spirit showed me how to continually put pressure on that scripture expecting it to perform as God said it would...

Get mad at the devil... and REFUSE to let him have his way...why should he win? He likes to make you think "you're the one doing something wrong" but if you KNOW the Word works... you can literally force the enemy or circumstances to step aside! He has to obey you!

We were prompted to write seven ways to put the Word to work in your life on a daily basis.

1. Quit doing what you’ve been doing if it’s not working.

Judges 6:1 in the New International Version says:

“Again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord, and for seven years he gave them into the hands of the Midianites.”

Again. . .the Israelites were doing the same wrong things over and over again.

Since God would forgive them. . .they would sin again. God would forgive them again . . . and they would sin again.

Your problem may not be sinning. . .but you may be doing the same thing over and over again but expecting a different result. Are you trying to solve your problems…or are you asking God what you need to apply from His Word that can deal with them?

The children of Israel were living in the land flowing with milk and honey. . .the Promised Land. It’s the land God promised the children of Israel and the land Joshua led them into. However, they were living in less than His best because they were not following His instructions.

Judges 6:2 in the New International Version says:

“Because the power of Midian was so oppressive, the Israelites prepared shelters for themselves in mountain clefts, caves and strongholds.”

Not only were the children of Israel not experiencing God’s best. . .they were in fact hiding in the clefts and caves to avoid their enemies.

The Israelites fell into a comfort zone and started taking things (His promises and benefits) for granted.

The Israelites were not only living in less than His best. . .they were hiding like a bunch of scared rats.

Again. . .God will forgive you again and again but you will never leave the starting gate or arrive at your divine destination. . .without following His directives.

You’ve got to change. . .before anybody or anything else changes.

Don’t spend another day living in anything less than God’s best. Do what God says and expect a breakthrough. Faithfully put the Word to work until you have what it says.

2. Realize God sees you as you can be not as you are.

Judges 6:11-12 in the New International Version says:

“And there came an Angel of the Lord, and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites.

“And the Angel of the Lord appeared unto him, and said unto him, The Lord is with thee, thou mighty man of valour.”

In the Amplified Bible, the Angel of the Lord calls Gideon “a mighty man of courage.” The New Living Translation calls him “a mighty hero” and a number of other translations call Gideon “a mighty warrior.”

Gideon’s first reaction was probably. . . “I’m a what?”

Gideon was from a small town and he was. . .by his own admission. . .the least of his family. . .the runt of the liter. . .if you will.

It can be assumed he was hiding where he was. . .because of his fear that the Midianites would steal the grain he was threshing for his family.

You may not be the physical runt of your family. . .but perhaps you feel like the runt mentally or spiritually.

The difficulty of most people is they judge their future by their past results. That’s a mistake. . .because it totally negates that God can completely turn your life around.

Don’t you think. . .that if God can instantly change a criminal, drug-dependent user into an on-fire preaching saint whose sins have been washed by the blood of the Lamb . . .that He can turn your life around too?

You may feel like you can’t do this or that. . .BUT GOD knows you can do all things through Christ which strengthens you.

Philippians 4:13 says:

“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”

I particularly like the Amplified Bible translation of Philippians 4:13 which says:

“I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency].”

Now I encourage you to personalize the Amplified Bible translation.

“Your Name has strength for all things in Christ who empowers her. Your Name is ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into Your Name, who is self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency.”

Write this personalized verse out on an index card. . .or put it in your smart phone for easy and frequent referral.

This scripture proves God specializes in calling ordinary people to do extraordinary things. That’s what He did with Gideon and that’s what He’s doing with you when you begin seriously applying the Word.

When God chose Gideon. . .there was nothing heroic about him. . .in fact, in his own opinion of himself. . .he was weak and insignificant. BUT GOD saw something Gideon didn’t see.

There is a scriptural reason why God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things.

1 Corinthians 1:27-29 in the Message Bible says:

“Take a good look, friends, at who you were when you got called into this life. I don't see many of "the brightest and the best" among you, not many influential, not many from high-society families. Isn't it obvious that God deliberately chose men and women that the culture overlooks and exploits and abuses, chose these "nobodies" to expose the hollow pretensions of the "somebodies"? That makes it quite clear that none of you can get by with blowing your own horn before God. Everything that we have—right thinking and right living, a clean slate and a fresh start—comes from God by way of Jesus Christ. That's why we have the saying, "If you're going to blow a horn, blow a trumpet for God."

If you’re waiting on God to change your situation. . .it might surprise you to know that God is waiting on you. Let me repeat that because I want you to let this go deep enough that you get it:

If you’re waiting on God to change your situation. . .it might surprise you to know that God is waiting on you to work and press the Word.

3. Your life begins to change when you start paying the price for that change.

Judges 6:16-18 in the Amplified Bible says:

"The Lord said to him, Surely I will be with you, and you shall smite the Midianites as one man. Gideon said to Him, If now I have found favor in Your sight, then show me a sign that it is You Who talks with me. Do not leave here, I pray You, until I return to You and bring my offering and set it before You. And He said, I will wait until you return.”

Gideon has just been called a mighty warrior and now the Angel is telling him that he will defeat the Midianites.

At this point. . .Gideon begins putting the Word to work by saying the following three things.

First, he confirms that he has found favor in the Angel’s sight.

Second, he wants a sign confirming who it is that’s talking with him.

Third, he’s taking him at his word by asking the Angel to stay until he returns with an offering.

And the Angel agrees to all three of Gideon’s requests.

When you’re facing an enemy that seems overwhelming. . .your own Midianites. . .you need to put the Word into action as well.

First, confirm God’s promises to you by confessing them straight from the Word.

Second, pray for a peace and a knowing to come over you. . .which would also bring agreement with your spouse or prayer partner.

Third, like Gideon. . .give an offering when you’ve been spoken to through the Word.

If you’ve been fighting the spiritual Midianites. . .having everything stolen from you day by day. . .never achieving the fullness of what the Word promises, it’s time to stop being pushed and fooled by an enemy who is weaker than you . . . and push back by pressing the Word.

You either believe God’s Word or you don’t. If you do, then take God at His Word until you see the victory He wants for you.

It’s time for you to take comfort in the words the Angel spoke to Gideon.

“Surely I will be with you.”

God is with you. . .all the time. . .He never leaves nor forsakes you … that’s a scriptural promise found in Hebrews 13:5.

Your future will be determined by whether you decide to put the Word to work or not. The decision to work the Word. . .is a choice you will make or fail to make.

Choose wisely.

4. Decide for yourself. . .to put God’s Word to work.

There are seven words that represent seven questions you should ask yourself.

Where, Why, Which, How, Who, What and When?

Now here are the questions.

First, where do you want to go?

If you don’t know where you want to go. . .how will you know when you get there?

Do you know your purpose in life? Do you know your assignment? Do you have identifiable goals?

If the answer is “no” to any of the three previous questions. . .here are seven keys to setting the proper mood and moment. . .to find your answers.

1. Find a quiet place.

2. Find a quiet time.

3. Turn off all electronic equipment.

4. Have something to write with and something to write on.

5. Personally, I like soothing anointed instrumental music.

6. Close your eyes and breathe deeply.

7. Begin praising God for who He is and what He’s done.

Second, why are you going there?

Once you discover where you’re going. . .you’ll most often know why you’re going there.

The why is often determined by the things we do every day.

Why do you turn off the alarm each morning instead of hitting the snooze button?

Why do you choose to eat a healthy breakfast instead of grabbing a donut?

Why do you go to work instead of staying home or playing golf or going to the spa?

Why do you choose to pay your bills on time (even if it’s just the minimum payment) instead of allowing your electricity to be turned off?

This list could go on. . .but the “why” you do certain things determines where you will go in life.

Third, which path are you taking to get there?

Your path to the future is determined most often by whom you’re listening to.

If you want your journey to be successful. . .talk with successful people

I’m always amazed at how people who never experience success in their personal and professional lives are the loudest voices when it comes to advising you on your path.

Proverbs 3:5-6 in the Message Bible says:

“Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don't try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he's the one who will keep you on track.”

Your choice of path on your journey to success should be the result of what He directs you to do.

Fourth, how will you overcome any obstacles along the way?

Joshua 1:7 in the New Living Translation says:

“Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the instructions Moses gave you. Do not deviate from them, turning either to the right or to the left. Then you will be successful in everything you do.”

The instructions from this verse are clear. When you press the Word by being strong in the face of obstacles. . . or courageous when it appears the current adversity is insurmountable. . .and you obey His instructions. . .you will be successful.

One more thing to remember.

The path of least resistance will lead you to a place you don’t want to be.

Fifth, who do you need to help you along the way?

Your number one mentor should always be the Holy Spirit.

Jeremiah 33:2-3 in the Amplified Bible says:

“Call to Me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things, fenced in and hidden, which you do not know (do not distinguish and recognize, have knowledge of and understand).”

Sixth, what do you want to do when you get there?

Corrie Ten Boom, author of The Hiding Place, said:

“Every experience God gives us, every person He puts in our lives, is the perfect preparation for the future that only He can see.”

Isaiah 48:17 in the Message Bible says:

“I am God, your God, who teaches you how to live right and well. I show you what to do, where to go.”

Seventh, when do you expect to arrive there?

Create a timeline. . .which requires you to press yourself for success. . .even as you press the Word for direction, motivation and inspiration.

5. Forget the odds or how bad things look. . .God is on your side.

As you’re pressing the Word for changes you want to see manifesting in your life. . .you need to always be ready to adapt to your changing environment.

Sometimes those changes. . .may be different than you think. . .requiring more faith on your part.

Gideon and his army of 32,000 were preparing for battle against a Midianite army of 150,000 soldiers. Not the best odds. . .but Gideon probably reasoned his soldiers were more dedicated as they were fighting for their families, homes and livelihood.

But then. . .

Judges 7:2-3 says:

“And the Lord said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me.

“Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand.”

Gideon was now down to 10,000 . . . but you know the rest of the story. . .he ended up with 300 men.

Judges 7:7-8 in the New Century Version says:

“Then the Lord said to Gideon, ‘Using the three hundred men who lapped the water, I will save you and hand Midian over to you. Let all the others go home.’ So Gideon sent the rest of Israel to their homes. But he kept three hundred men and took the jars and the trumpets of those who left.”

The men who were left were committed and brave but the point is this: if it’s just you and God … you can still come out a winner.

I think it’s fair to say that Gideon and his 300 men were standing on God’s Word.

Charles Lindbergh, the great aviator, said:

“Success is not measured by what a man accomplishes, but by the opposition he encountered and the courage with which he has maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.”

Or as Romans 8:31 says: “. . . If God be for us, who can be against us?”

6. At times, you must do the ridiculous. . .to experience the miraculous.

Now that Gideon had assembled his Delta Force or Navy Seal team. . .he didn’t issue them assault rifles or machine guns.

Judges 7:16 in the New International Version says:

“Dividing the three hundred men into three companies, he placed trumpets and empty jars in the hands of all of them, with torches inside.”

When confronted with overwhelming odds. . .seemingly insurmountable problems with no apparent way of escape. . .your best choice is to standing unflinchingly on the Word. Follow God’s instructions.

Judges 7:17 in the New International Version says:

“Watch me,” he told them. “Follow my lead. When I get to the edge of the camp, do exactly as I do.”

Leadership must always be duplicatable.

First, watch me. Don’t look at the problem . . .nor the circumstances. . .keep your eyes on me.

Second, do what I do. Don’t do what your neighbor is doing or even your best friend. Do what I do.

Judges 7:18-19 in the New International Version says:

“When I and all who are with me blow our trumpets, then from all around the camp blow yours and shout, ‘For the Lord and for Gideon.’”

“Gideon and the hundred men with him reached the edge of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch, just after they had changed the guard. They blew their trumpets and broke the jars that were in their hands.”

Hiding the torches in the clay pots gave the 300 an element of surprise. The sound of the smashing pots amplified to the extent that it caused a panic among the Midianite troops and they began killing each other.

We’re continuing to see the benefit of putting the Word to work. . .doing what God says.

7. When you put God’s Word to work. . .God gives you revelation, directions and connections.

Isaiah 55:11 in the Amplified Bible says:

“So shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return to Me void [without producing any effect, useless], but it shall accomplish that which I please and purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.”

When you stand on the Word. . .you gotta know the words coming out of your mouth will not be lost, wasted, empty or without success.

The spoken Word cannot be stopped, changed, deleted, erased, short-circuited or come back empty handed. Not only that. . .the Word has the ability to make something out of nothing.

When you stand firmly on the Word. . .it will accomplish what it promised. As you put the Word to work. . .the windows of heaven will open up and pour you out a blessing that you can’t contain.

The Message Bible translation of Isaiah 55:11 says:

“So will the words that come out of my mouth not come back empty-handed. They'll do the work I sent them to do, they'll complete the assignment I gave them.”

When you stand on the Word. . .you will empower yourself to complete your assignment on planet earth in victory.

We currently live in a world with more diversity than ever before. This is a great thing because diversity means that we have more to choose from. However, more diversity also means that it is tougher to find what really fulfills us.

Here are 5 things you need to know about “finding your purpose” in life.

You don’t have to just have one. The thing about purpose or passion is that it changes throughout life. It is a false belief that you must choose one occupation and be stuck in that occupation for the rest of your life.
As cliche as it might sound, you NEED to follow what you like to do. It is as simple as that. What is an activity that you wholeheartedly enjoy doing? What is that one thing you make time to do? What is the thing that makes you lose track of time? Think. (Sidenote, if you think that what you love to do can’t provide you with a source of income, you might be surprised. Nearly everything is able to be monetized these days. It just requires figuring some stuff out.)
Most people do not have revelations granting them an understanding of what their purpose actually is. The ones who have changed the world or have succeeded and are happy with the work they do simply followed the path of their interest. These people have narrowed out the things that compel them and they follow those impulses with full confidence in their ability to come out on top. There is no software that can grant you a revelation on what your passion is either. Something like this is extremely subjective. Every single person is unique in their own separate way so save yourself some time by avoiding those passion quizzes online. This is a journey you must complete yourself.
Believe it or not, you have a unique talent. In fact, everyone living on this planet has a unique talent. It is your duty in this life to find that talent so that you can contribute to making the world better in your own unique way. By following what you love to do on the path you feel compelled to go on, you find out more and more about this talent.
By doing more of what you want to do rather than doing what you think you have to(Due to social norms etc.), bits and pieces of information get revealed to you as you go along your path. This is a tough journey not many embark on because it is full of fear and uncertainty. Which is why, only a few people in this world are able to realize their real calling. They are the brave ones who reach the light at the end of the tunnel. They understand that fear and uncertainty is the breeding ground for creativity and innovation. And most importantly, they do not let critics break their unwavering focus and spirit.
You must have faith in the universe to show you the path. Do what you love and disregard all the critics, all the negative emotions, and the all the limiting beliefs. You are meant to be great. You are meant to change the world. You are meant to live in freedom.

You have the choice of pursuing literally anything that you desire. Through this process, you find things you like and discard things you do not like. As you go farther along this journey, you gain more clarity regarding what brings you happiness and a better understanding of what your purpose is. Believe in yourself and follow your instinct.

Hi guys in this post I will be sharing a powerful post I title "The Power of Putting on Christ". We live in a world where everything seems to be moving in a negative way. Everyday you hear bad stories of people, places and country. And this has now become the consciousness of people. So succeeding in this kind of world, there is two things you need and to do:
1. You need a backup and a guidance.
When you have a backup and a guidance in your life, He will help you to make decisions and instruct you on what to do, be and have. When this backup and guidance is with you, there is nothing you will be afraid of in life. And the only one that can back you up and guide you on the right way to go is Jesus Christ. He is there to save you and from the problem and the bad things that is happening around you. So what to do now is to fully see His life in you is to get born again. When you get born again, you are separated from the world and power of darkness into the world of Jesus. You become a new specy that has never existed before. This born again changes your status and position you in His place of glory excellent.

2. You put on Christ. Putting on Christ make you a son in the kingdom. It separate you from the power of darkness and place you in life. When people see you, they will see the power of God and His effect around you.
How do you put on Christ.
By feeding yourself with the word of God
By Imagining the word of God. That is when the Bible said You will flourish like a palm tree, grow like cedar in Lebanon. You begin to imagine Flourish, how can I flourish, how does it look like to flourish. As you are meditating and imagine yourself in it, it will transform you into the word.
By living and practicing the word.
This is what I have for you today, thanks for reading.

Hi guys in this post I will be sharing with you a post I titled “The Power of Consciousness”.
Life is full of secrets. And until you know the secrets you can never become the person you want to be. Moving from one of level to another in life, require that you know the secret to take step and get there. So what I want to share with you in this post is something when apply can change your life forever. Everything in life respond to this secret. Where you are now is as a result of this secret and where you want to be is also as a result of the careful application of this secret. The secret I am talking about is your CONSCIOUSNESS. Your consciousness create everything your life. Everything responds to your consciousness. No matter how hard you try to make something happen, if your consciousness says no, you will never have the motivation to do it and nothing will happen. You can be receiving signal on what to do but if your consciousness is not right with what you want, you will keep struggling over it. For example, I heard of story of a man, this man needed money to settle his life and create business on his own but within him, he was still doubting if money is good if he can make the money he wanted. So he struggle so much over money until he came across a book that show him the reason why he was struggling with money. He immediately begin to appreciate money and see it as a good tool to live a prosperous life. Then his life change. That is the power of your consciousness. Your consciousness hold every manifestation in your life. All the happening of your life is as a result of your consciousness, be it good or bad.
In the book of numbers, 10 among the spy that were send to check the land have a world consciousness (i.e fear, unbelief, servant mind, and failure) and they were confessing how big they are, which make them not to enter the promise land. But two among them have a Godly consciousness that confess and say we are wellable. Whatever you do or say in the face of problem is what will determine by the consciousness you have. To be a winner, you must have the consciousness of a winner that don’t take no for an answer.
How do you develop this consciousness?
1. Know what you think and how you feel right now
2. Know what you want right now
3. Imagine and assume the feeling of you become who you want to be.
4. Remain faithful to your imagination.

Keep reading to know how to control your mind

In this post i will be sharing with you HOW TO CONTROL YOUR MIND TO REALIZE YOUR FULL SELF AND LIVE THE LIFE YOU WANT.
Think of this lake as the mind. Each little wave within the lake represents a thought. Throughout the day, the lake is full of these waves, sometimes large, sometimes small. The waves remain active.

Now try to remember a time that you saw a lake completely still, no waves, no movement. Just pure stillness.

If you were to throw a stone into that lake, even the tiniest pebble would create a noticeable ripple effect.

If you were to throw that same stone in a turbulent lake full of waves, it would go completely unnoticed.

That is the way our mind works. Being able to notice that ripple effect is one of the primary goals of meditation. The stone in this metaphor represents a intuition influenced by our Self(Infinite intelligence, pure imagination).

Our mind is made up of thoughts which are always active and always moving from one to another. At times, our mind is very turbulent and at other times it can be very calm and still.

All of us have the same equal power to receive great ideas and intuitions. These thoughts and ideas come to us daily.

However, most of these intuitions go unnoticed when the mind is turbulent, moving from one thought to another.

Daily practice of meditation stills the mind little by little, so that these genius intuitions which come to us from our subconscious mind can be noticed by our conscious mind.

But as long as the mind is uncontrolled, racing from one socially conditioned thought to another, it will remain turbulent. Having a turbulent mind brings unnecessary difficulty to our lives. It becomes increasingly difficult for us to pick up the little genius thought vibrations that are coming to us from the source of pure imagination.

Therefore, we must strive to meditate for a minimum of 30 minutes everyday to still the lake that is our mind. We must do ourselves this favor so we can notice the Self-inspired intuitions that come to us in small waves every single day.

We must strive everyday to still the mind little by little so we can feel the joy which is embedded within the peace that is available to each and every one of us on this planet. We must tap into this power and take control of our lives.
