How To Transform Your Failures Into Crushing Successes!

“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewingof your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable,and perfect, will of God.” (Romans 12:2)

“An army of ants were spending a fine winter's day drying grain collected in the summertime. A grasshopper, perishing with famine, passed by and earnestly begged for a little food. The ants inquired of him, ‘Why did you not treasure up food during the summer?' He replied, ‘I had not leisure enough. I passed the days in singing.’ They then said in derision: ‘If you were foolish enough to sing all the summer, you must dance supperless to bed in the winter.’” (Aesops’s Fables)


Have you ever been in a situation where you were about to make a mistake that you knew was a mistake, but you made it anyway, and the only reason why you kept going down that road was because you didn’t want people telling you what to do? Think it not strange that you have a hard time holding on to long-lasting relationships. Think it not strange that you clash with your co-workers and supervisors on your job. Think it not strange that you bump heads with those in leadership.

The Holy Ghost revealed to me that you are at a point of frustration. You are grappling with the fear of moving forward because of mistakes that you have made in your past. Even now you think that there is no way out of the predicament that you are in today. But I hear God saying, “Trouble won’t last always.”

THE ENEMY IS UP TO HIS OLD TRICKS AGAIN - BE NOT DECEIVED!


Take a moment and think about your life. Over the years God has placed some key leaders in your life, many of whom you have failed to recognize the value of their leadership. Those who appeared to be the strictest in your life were really the gemstones that God allowed to show up in your life to develop and nurture the greatness within you. Unfortunately, you rejected their help and advice, advice that would have moved you further along in life.

But God says, “It is not too late to heal the wounds of the past.” There is no failure in God, only lessons to be learned. However, you must change your opinions and thoughts about leadership and begin to embrace those “tough leaders” God sends your way. Mentors are the missing links to our destiny. Without them we will walk around the earth blind to life’s opportunities and never walk fully in our purpose.


I am living proof that mentorship is vital in the life of the believer. We cannot succeed unless we submit to Godly mentors who only have our best interest at heart. In order to achieve the full benefits of a mentor, you cannot be insecure; you cannot be ultra-sensitive; you cannot be rebellious and disobedient. You must allow the Holy Spirit to take you through the process and purge you of bitterness, resentment, hatred, false judgment and criticalness. This may sound easier than it really is, but with the help of the Holy Ghost and mentors, all things are possible.

You Are Only An Instruction or Two From Walking Out of Financial Crisis!

For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness… thou hast lacked nothing. (Deuteronomy 2:7)

My friend, do you know that God is concerned every time you have a financial crisis and will give you instructions to turn it around? He did it for Elijah. "And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land. And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying, Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there" (1 Kings 17:7-9).


God will give you instructions to help you in financial crisis. Again, He did it for the prophet Elijah, and He will do it for you! God always rewards Holy conduct and behavior with financial provision. "...No good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly." (Psalm 84:11)

Heed the Lord’s instructions!

My friend, God commanded everything He created to multiply and become more. "And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding Seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose Seed is in itself, upon the earth...Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth...Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth" (Genesis 1:11, 20, 22)!

God will also reward your productivity!


God even rewards your productivity with more increase. Read the incredible story of the talents in Matthew 25. "Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord" (Matthew 25:23).


It’s time to believe that you can step out of your financial crisis!

Celebrate God's Goodness!

Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our LORD: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength. (Nehemiah 8:10)

My friend, did you know that the word celebrate means to honor. It does not imply dealing with something that is done, as from the outside. Rather it is giving a very special blessing to something. In the true spirit of celebration, you are not just a loud-laughing spectator. You are an involved participant. You become a conscious channel for Divinity to flow.


n a consciousness of thanksgiving and celebration, you can look around you and bless your family, friends and co-workers as you move along the journey of life. As you make your way to and from work, if you can bless the sunshine or the clouds, the trees and grass and flowers, the people you come into contact with, then you are truly rich. Without a sense of celebration and thanksgiving, you are poor no matter what your net worth may be.

Where’s your sense of celebration?

My friend, how many times do you find yourself pouring out your heart in concern over changing circumstances in your life? How many times have you caught yourself or someone saying, "I have nothing to live for, nothing to look forward to?" How common is this attitude of fear? It is the fear of being in a position of having nothing to celebrate. The answer? To be thankful always because when you are thankful, you are celebrating that which God is already doing for you.


Do not succumb to the attitude of fear!

Take time to be still and listen to the beat of your heart and feel the throb of your pulse. Divinity is celebrating itself in you as an instrument of life. It is singing itself into your soul, saying, "You are alive, you are whole, and you are being healed and renewed in a constant rhapsody of life!"


Celebrate God’s goodness!

You Won't Become The Master, Until You Start Seeing The Masterpiece!

A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. (Proverbs 25:11)

My friend, many people seem to think that they are under no obligation to make their life as complete and successful as possible. But this is precisely what we are here for - to evolve the real man or woman, Father God inside who’s in each of us. We cannot be true to ourselves and shirk this obligation.

Each of us has been sent here with a divine message, and it is our business to deliver that message, to honor it royally, not to distort or mutilate it. The message is the work of a lifetime, the evolution of a superb manhood or womanhood, the grandest achievement of which a person is capable. It is discovering the masterpiece that God has called you to “paint” in life.

Are you seeing the final complete piece?


My friend, you cannot make the most of yourself until you look at your life as a magnificent possibility, the material for a great masterpiece to mar or spoil which would be a tragedy. Without such an ideal, without an ambition to live your life triumphant and worth while, there is no possibility for true success.

Paint the masterpiece of the life you want!

If you see in your day's work nothing but rent and food, clothing and shelter, taxes, a little pleasure and other incidentals, then you would better never have lived. This is only a sordid, superficial view of one's life work. This is merely the perishable side of it, that which passes away. The opportunity to be a man, a woman ― the chance to unfold what Father God has infolded in you ― this is what your life should mean to you!


You are more than what you see when you look in a mirror!


Dig Deeper Into The "Mine" of Your Soul!

Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, show me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight… (Exodus 33:13)

My friend, did you know that only by much searching and mining are gold and diamonds obtained? You can find every truth connected with your being if you are willing to dig deep into the “mine” of your soul. You can discover that you are the maker of your character, the molder of your life, and the builder of your destiny.

I exhort you to watch, control and alter your thoughts, tracing their effects upon yourself and others, and upon your life and circumstances. Through patient practice and investigation, utilizing your every experience, even to the most trivial, everyday occurrence, look at the link between cause and effect as a means of obtaining self-knowledge, as such knowledge is power and wisdom.

How much have you discovered about you?


My friend, in this direction, as in no other, is the law absolute that “He that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened”. Only by patience, practice, persistence and ceaseless importunity can you enter the door of the temple of knowledge concerning who you really are in Christ Jesus!

Know that you are a work in progress and not a piece of work!

As a progressive and evolving being, you are where you need to be to learn that which you need to grow; and as you learn those spiritual lessons which circumstances contain for you, it passes away and gives place to other circumstances!


In the “mine” of your soul, lies the diamonds of life




If Only You Would Ask...

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For everyone that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. (Matthew 7:7-8)

My friend, did you know that asking is the key to receiving? Jesus made this very clear. "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened," (Matthew 7:7-8). Many desire more money; many wish for more money; many dream about more money; but they never have understood the power of asking.


Many people refuse to ask God for a financial harvest. Why? They have disobeyed every instruction He has given them and they know it. This destroys their bravado and boldness. You can only be bold when you believe you are right. When you have ignored your faith, tithing and putting God first, you lack the audacity to approach Him for anything.

Are you asking God for your supply?

My friend, God has to be believed. Your vital mistake in life is doubt Him. His only pleasure is to be believed. Every effort of God has one focus - to find a person who believes what He says. He withholds from those who doubt Him (Isaiah 1:20); yet He rewards those who believe (Deuteronomy 28:1-14). You must come to understand that faith is the only voice God respects.


It’s time to ask God so that He can be God in your experience!

Faith is the only method that impresses God to activate miracles. You must ask in faith. Faith comes when you hear God talk. "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God," (Romans 10:17)!


If you don’t ask, HOW will you RECEIVE?

You Can Have All You Desire...Just Believe It!

Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in thebreadth of it; for I will give it unto thee. (Genesis 13:17)

My friend, did you know that you can have everything you desire, if you know the power that is within you and then dare to use it? You have always used this power in some degree, often for failure. Now you can begin deliberately to release it for success; that is, for experiencing greater happiness and prosperity in your world.


Your success power is released through your mental attitudes and your emotional reactions toward life. You become what you think. Think straight and life becomes straight for you. It's as simple as that. The secret for thinking straight might be described as "success attitudes". There is a definite place where you can always go to find out how to "think straight" and acquire success attitudes. There are definite reasons why you have a right to believe you can have everything.

Divinity in you allows the world to become your portion!


You can begin releasing that power to produce greater good in your life and affairs, when you realize that your mind is your world. When you rule you mind, you rule your world. When you choose your thoughts, you choose results!


Believe that you can have everything… and you will!

My friend, the startling secret about success is that you've probably searched everywhere for it, when in reality, it lies within yourself. God has given you the hidden supply within you. You have this power within you which you can use to experience greater health, happiness and prosperity than you have previously known.

Do you believe that your supply is within you?

The Bible Will Improve Your Success Thinking Without Even Blinking!

As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him. (2 Samuel 22:31)

My friend, did you know that there seems to be something electric and exciting that comes alive in the atmosphere where success thinking is employed? Everyone who comes into such an atmosphere seems to become supercharged with it, and to take on its result-getting power. There is one great and wonderful place you can always go to find out how to employ success attitudes and think straight - yet it is the last place many people ever think of going - and that is to the scriptures.


If you look a little deeper, you discover that the beloved stories of the great Biblical characters are filled with "success attitudes" that can help you think straight and make your life straight. You discover that the scriptures are the greatest textbook on prosperity ever written! In fact, many of the Bible's great people were millionaires and their success secrets for getting that way are available to you, too.

Read the word and gain a better understanding of successful living!

My friend, the masses of humanity today are searching for these success secrets. But since they do not realize, they have tried to find them elsewhere. So many people have always desired success and always will. It is a universal desire, divinely implanted within each of us. And a revolution is needed to make success universal.


Start the revolution by reading God’s word for inspiration!


Yes, my friend, the revolutionary ideas that can bring all the blessings that mankind desires are to be found in the success attitudes presented in God’s Divine word!


The word will lead you into a life of success!


Your Mouth Is Either Making You Money Or Robbing Your Blind!

As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him. (2 Samuel 22:31)

My friend, did you know that with one simple statement or question, you could either be saving several hundreds of dollars or losing them? Your words are either making you more money or costing you. Your words are bringing increase or decrease. Your words are creating doors or walls. Your words are either bridges or barricades.


In the course of your life you will create less barricades to success when you watch your thoughts, for they become words. Then you must watch your words, for they become actions. Watch your actions, for they become habits. Watch your habits, for they become character. Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.

Your words can empower you to be rich or even poor!

My friend, saying the wrong things or speaking words of dire negativity such as, “I’m broke” or “I don’t have any money”, will rob you of your destiny... BLIND without a trace! Do you ever think about the words you speak and the power they carry? I challenge you to monitor your words for a day.

It’s time to pay attention to what you are saying!


Take notice of the words you speak to yourself too. What words do you habitually say to yourself? What do you tell yourself about yourself? I think you'll be surprised at how many negative things you say. It's time to stop and think about the words you speak and the effect they have on you and other people.


Successful People Know That Money Is Made In Their Minds First!

“That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;” (Colossians 1:10)


Everything begins with a thought, and your thoughts become things manifested. Most great achievers turn their negative situations into great accomplishments and victories. Successful people NEVER give excuses for not achieving.

YOUR SUCCESS IS ONLY A THOUGHT AWAY!

The devil may have tried to convince you that you were born on the wrong side of the tracks or that your family name is not worth anything. That little, sneaky, conniving rascal is still up to his same OLD TRICKS. The enemy is STILL trying to keep the saints of God from having their inheritance! But the enemy has to keep bombarding your mind with negative thoughts and negative images of things that happened in your past because he knows that if you would ever walk into your true sonship, the heavens would explode. As long as he can keep your heart cold and bitter, success will never come.


“Empty pockets never held a man back. Only empty headsand empty hearts can do that.” [Norman Vincent Peale]

It does not matter on what side of the railroad tracks you were born. Your family name does not matter. Your present obstacles and challenges do not matter. God has given every man a measure of faith to move and operate with the ability to become a HIGH ACHIEVER. You are at a pivotal point in your life. You may think that time is running out. But time is NOT running out! All you need is a check up from the neck up!

DON’T YOU LET THE ENEMY MAKE YOU MISSWHAT GOD HAS PROMISED YOU!


Protect Yourself From a Dual Danger You Face Everyday!

It is said by many that an ignorant man is always a slave. Simply put, what we don't know can entrap us in a lifetime of disappointment and lack. For this reason, ignorance is extremely dangerous. It usually takes one of two forms: "not knowing" something or the more hazardous form of "knowing the wrong thing."


Imagine “not knowing” where to meet that loan officer who has your money for your dream house. Or imagine being told his office was in the next town when it was actually right around the corner from you (“knowing the wrong thing”). You may look at an event like this and shrug your shoulders and tell yourself that things like this happen. Do you really want these things happening in your life?


Genesis 20:7 ~ For he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live.


Ignorance is not merely the lack of knowledge, but a self-destructive turning away from truth in all areas of life. Prophecy will bring truth into your life because it is the word of the Lord. An ignorant person believes he knows what he actually doesn't know; he becomes delusional and his delusions can and will lead him into an unsuspecting array of events that will ultimately disappoint him.





Stop Flirting With Failure!

For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again…(Proverbs 24:16)

Take a minute to do this exercise. Take a deep breath, exhale slowly. Now, ask yourself this question: Am I a failure? Now that you answered this question, how long did it take you to answer it? The moment you felt you had to think about it, became the moment you flirted with the thought of being a failure. For some, this exercise is easy; as soon as they hear the question they immediately answer no. I can even think of some individuals who would scream, “Heck No!


It’s this kind of passion that separates the winners from the losers. A winner never thinks for a second that he can lose. Losing never becomes an option. But failure is the concubine of the uncertain. The moment you begin to question whether or not you can, is the moment you begin to flirt with failure. If the two of you get together, this often leads to a tumultuous relationship that takes the ultimate turn for the worst. You can say good-bye to your goals and kiss your dreams one last time because you will never see them manifest.


Announce to God and the universe this day that you are a winner!

God created you to be a winner from the beginning. You could not even become a participant in this planet called earth had you not already walked in the spirit of a winner. You have already conquered death and defeat before you got here! It is your divine right to prosper; it is your right to win


If Becoming A Success Was Easy, Why Isn't Everyone Successful?

“We pray thee, of God, that we may know whether our waywhich we go shall be prosperous.” (Judges 18:5)

Success is so rare, not because it is unattainable, but success is rare because not everyone has the passion to go after it. What I have learned over the years is that most people are afraid to go after their passion, whether it is wealth, houses, marriage, cars, careers or just having children. The average person is afraid of stepping out of the box and doing what God has revealed to them. To really become successful at any level in life, it takes courage and confidence in oneself to accomplish your desired results.


When you look at the great men and women in the Bible who demonstrated courage and faith in God, they were all risk-takers. Moses, Elijah, Mary and the woman at Zarephath were all risk-takers who understood that their success was predicated upon the faith of others. They stepped out in faith and ended up reaping a tremendous blessing in their lives.

The Holy Spirit revealed to me that you are as successful as the people with whom you surround yourself. God said, you are struggling to get ahead in life and you have a difficult time completing the tasks that God has placed in your hand. There are people in your life who are lazy and have no desire to accomplish anything at any level. If you want to get out of the rut that you are in, you must begin to eliminate the “crabs” in your life that are pulling you down.

You have to get rid of your fears and become a risk-taker. Most people who are successful have fought the “fear factor” and have incredible testimonies about overcoming their own fears.


Life Is Always A Matter of Choice!

And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve.(Joshua 24:15)

Get all the facts did you know that your destiny is a matter of choice? It is never left up to chance. Chance doesn’t determine your destiny, but choices always will. Your life is not left to chance, but it is a matter of choice. God placed in you a will. He gives you the ability to discern what His purpose is for your life.

It is not God’s will for you to fail!


Did you know that it is not God’s will that any should perish. Whatever the purpose of God is for your life, it will produce good fruit. God will not teach you how to lose, but He will show you how to profit. As you begin to walk in the principles of God’s Kingdom, you will begin to walk in an understanding of God’s Word that you can be profitable; that is when the will of God will be a blessing.

Don’t make these mistakes and misinterpret the Word by saying that the financial trials that you are having are a part of God’s will for your life. However, you will discern the purpose for your struggle, press forward, and learn to enjoy the season of your struggle. You will understand that every present struggle prepares you for a future achievement. Whatever hard place you find yourself in, it is only bringing you to a place of preparation unto greatness.

Today’s struggle = Tomorrow’s achievements!


The truth is every seed has been ordained to be in the dark places of the earth. Even when a baby comes forth, it must push forth out of the darkness of a womb. Everything in life comes forth through a struggle. God has ordained the enemy or the adversary of your soul. He wants you to understand that for every seed of greatness that is within you, there is an equal seed of adversity that is assigned to you.

Just What Are You Sowing Into?

But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. (Matthew 13:8)

Now more than ever you need GOOD ground, and good ground is a ground that is well worked. When a farmer sows a seed, he first works it and surveys the ground to make sure that the ground is able to receive seed. Weeds are destroyed in the GOOD ground so it can’t choke the seed. If you are going to see your harvest come forth, you will have to destroy the weeds in order for the ground to become fertile.

Are you tilling the GROUND to stop your enemies?


Obviously, God told Adam to till the ground because He knew that there would be enemies in that ground. Adam had to dress and keep the ground. God would not have told Adam to keep it if there were no intruders. God never gives you anything that will not be challenging. Your marriage will be a challenge. Your finances will be a challenge. Your children will be a challenge.

To show you what I mean, look at marriage. There are a lot of people who love each other and get a divorce. Love is not what holds a marriage together, but commitment. Covenant is not based on love, but commitment. Two people who are adults that have entered into manhood or womanhood should understand that when they divorce, the individuals who suffer are the children.

People don’t like the word “commitment”!


What I am leading to is this – people don’t like the word “commitment”. They don’t mind jumping from one place to another, but they are not quite ready to become consistent and settled. Commitment means “dirty laundry” has to be washed. It means that you will see another side of someone that you may not want to witness.

Your Money Can Reveal Who You Are!

But rather seek ye the kingdom of God ; and all these things shall be added unto you. (Luke 12:31)

Turn your life around! If you cannot be faithful in your money, then how can God trust you with spiritual gifts? How can He trust you with the true riches of the Kingdom? In other words, money has a way of exposing your character; it reveals who you really are. Money does not corrupt you, but it magnifies your true character. If money corrupts you, why hasn’t the enemy overdosed you with it?

Money reveals your true character.


Don’t take chances, if you give a drug addict ten dollars, he will buy drugs. If you give him one thousand dollars, he will buy more drugs. If you give him a million dollars, he will still buy drugs. If you give a gambler ten, or a thousand or a million dollars, he will continue gambling.

Here’s a better solution, if you give a man or woman of God (someone who minds the Kingdom) ten dollars, they will sow it so that they can grow it back into the Kingdom. They will do the same thing with one thousand or a million dollars. Again, money enhances who you already are in regard to your character. You may think that someone came into a large sum of money and then turned evil, but they were already evil in their heart.

Money won’t corrupt you but it will magnify you!


I’d like to call your attention to why some people did not come into wealth a long time ago. There were even some things that God had to first work on the inside of me before He allowed me to come into financial blessings. Not everyone can handle money or power.

We’re about to change all that, God has sent you angels that are watching you daily. They are watching to see if you are faithful in that which is someone else’s. Your faithfulness with that which is someone else’s will determine whether you will come into your own. This is your season to watch for the signs; this is your season to communicate with your angels daily; this is your season to know whether or not money is magnifying the “right kind” of you


Who Do You Trust?

"I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake… (Genesis 8:21)


Tired of empty promises! The Bible has never advised you to trust man. The arms of flesh will fail you. When you become offended by what another individual has done, admit that you were looking for that individual to fulfill a need that only God can supply. Your trust is to only be in God. If you want to get disappointed quickly, start trusting man. You must lean on the Everlasting Arms.

Why trust another besides the Lord?

Mark Twain said, “If you help a dog to become prosperous that is starving, he won’t bite you. But, if you help a man in the same condition, he will. That is the difference between a dog and a man.” The individual that you reach down and help the most is the individual who will turn on you the quickest.

Food for thought, the individual that you seemingly do the least for will be the individual who will remain and endure until the end. If you don’t learn some things through the word of God, then experience will teach them to you. What the Word does not teach you, life will.


Just who do you TRUST?

Fortunately, as long as there is a planet, the Law of Seedtime and Harvest will remain. The Law of Seedtime and Harvest means that we can see and know that there is a dependability of seasons. This is a God-given guarantee. When we sow seeds in the proper seasons, we will always reap a harvest. It is a matter of trusting God that He will bring you the harvest.


One thing is for sure, if you cannot see prosperity by faith, then you will not be prosperous. You must realize that the harvest must first be conceived before it can be received. This is your season to understand that the harvest does not always come by walking outside the door and just finding it.


You Just Can't See How Mighty The Angels of[ The Lord Are, But Look Closer!

For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. (Psalm 91:11)

Take a minute to remember the Garden of Gethsemane, when Jesus was about to be taken captive, one of his disciples pulled out a sword and swung it, cutting off the ear of the servant of the High Priest. The writer, Matthew, heard Jesus say, “Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword.” Jesus continued, “Do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with more than TWELVE legions of angels?” (Matthew 26:52-53)

Did you know that a typical Roman Legion consisted of between 6,000 and 12,000 fighting men. If ONE angel could do so much, think about the “twelve legions” Jesus spoke about! It’s wonderful to know that beings so powerful are protecting YOU right this minute!

These are the same powerful, wonderfulservants of the Lord protecting YOU!


Dare to live your dreams, for angels provide assistance and safety to us, as we can see in today’s Scripture: “He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways.” (Psalm 91:11) Those angels can “see” us; otherwise they could not respond to the call of God, to either help or otherwise intervene for your safety. When your world is dark and you believe that you’re all alone – you’re not! The angelic realm usually operates through something like a one-way mirror. They always see us, but God’s will for the most part is that we do not see them.

They are “invisible”. That’s hard for you to conceive or accept, because invisibility is thought to be only in the realm of science fiction or fantasy. We can write books about invisibility, but we can’t do it, and what we can’t do is generally thought to be impossible. Since angels are so seldom seen, many do not believe in them. Many decide that, “If you can’t see, touch, or hear something, it doesn’t exist.” Isn’t that amazing? We were taught to not believe in something or someone we cannot see! It is a belief system that stifles our creativity and it leaves us open to the danger of not believing in that which is real. Sometimes plain old seeing is not believing.

Seeing is not always believing!

Wisdom: The Best Stock In This Market!

Hear my words, O ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.(Job 34:2)

What’s the best investment you can make? Many people are investing in the stock market with the same kind of attitude – that is, one of trying to find the stock investment that will make them rich. Many thought the "Dot.Com" stocks were the opportunity of a lifetime. Instead, many lost their life savings as they invested with the wrong motives. Investing in stock is not sinful, as scripture speaks of wisely investing our money; however, many are not investing in wisdom wisely.


I think you’ll be shocked by what you’re about to read. They invested in companies on a hunch, a tip, or just by calculating the ups and downs of graphs without other research, or going along with the crowd as to what looked like a winner. Many invested in companies that totally ignored basic business principles.

Do you lack the fundamentals?

We live in an increasingly complex society. Many people have lost their money because their approach to investing was no more than pulling a slot machine handle and taking a chance on winning. This is also why people get taken in by "Get-Rich-Quick" schemes. They are somewhat naïve and somehow feel that they can get rich without really working, simply by investing in what sounds like a good deal. We should know better than to trust the wisdom of fools, but unfortunately many of us are gullible.


Many in today’s society are impatient to be rich and have contempt for those slow, but sure gains, which are the proper reward of industry, patience and Divine wisdom.

Rely on the wisdom of the Lord for success.

“Those who do not work should not eat.” (2 Thessalonians 3:10) The desire to make money without working for it is an unrighteous desire. God uses work to build and shape our character. He delights in providing for those who put His Kingdom and His righteousness first. The angels were sent here to help you. This is your season to watch for the signs and to know God's Kingdom is not promoted by unrighteousness but through wisdom.

Creativity or Reactivity, That Is The Question!

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
(Genesis 1:27)


Isn’t it time you realize that you have the power to create the life you want? If you don’t believe this in your heart, you will find yourself always reacting to what other people say and do. Life doesn’t just happen to you; life responds to you also.

How is your life responding to you?

Believe it or not your thoughts change how you feel and the way you feel affects the actions you take. Your actions dictate your results and your results provide energy to your current direction. Positive results generate positive thoughts, and the cycle continues in this direction as long as you allow it to.


As if that’s not enough unless you are aware of this cycle, negative results can lead to negative thoughts and a negative cycle. Become aware of your thoughts and words. Consciously choose to think and talk about what you want and you will ultimately create it. If you are reactive, you will spend your time thinking and talking about what you don’t want, and you will create that instead. However, if you are creative and will spend your time thinking about and building the things you want to have, you will ultimately create them.

Is your reaction, creation?

What does this mean for you? It means you can choose to create peace and prosperity, or you can choose to be reactive and experience loss and poverty. God has sent angels to help focus you on creation and minimize reaction so that you can have a life of success and prosperity. This is your season to watch for the signs and understand that there are only two types of people in the world, creative or reactive. Which one are you?

Yes, God Wants You To Be Fruitful and Multiply!

And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
(Genesis 9:7)

It’s no secret that over and over again in the Old Testament, the Lord tells us “Be ye fruitful and multiply.” In those days, most people were farmers, so fruit was like money. Children of God, we should not live a life where our families have to beg and look to the world’s system for support. We need to learn to teach our children how to create and manage money, so they don’t blow it once they get it!



Are you teaching your family how to be fruitful?

In today’s uncertain economy besides the law of seedtime and harvest, are you teaching your children how to invest their funds and live off the interest? The Lord has given each of us the ability to become rich. This is mentioned all throughout the Old and New Testaments. God has given each of us a million dollar idea, whether it be through an invention, a family business, artistic talent, etc.

We’re about to change all that.For we can do all things through Christ Jesus when our motive is to build His Kingdom on earth. Mothers don’t have to work and fathers don’t need two jobs when God’s best is operating. Seek the Lord, do all that you can and then stand. Tithe, plant seed, pray, sow into others’ dreams and watch your vision come to pass.


The world’s system is not God’s plan for you.

Last but not least Joshua tells us that if we obey God and stay in His word, we will have good success. God has sent you angels whose primary purpose is to lead you into your good success. The world will try to motivate you by fear instead of faith. This is your season to watch for the signs and to build the Kingdom of God within you so that it can be expressed outwardly.

The Angels Can Free You From Captivity

But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth. (Acts 5:19)

I’m extremely pleased to tell you that, it was an angel of the Lord that intervened to set the captives free? A great revival had broken out in Jerusalem. Many people were being converted. The Sadducees were filled with indignation and put the Apostles in jail.


The truth is God sent an angel to open the prison doors and set them free. This happened a second time, when the Apostle Peter was set free from prison by an angel, recorded in Acts 12:5-10. Most Believers can remember some time in their lives when they have been miraculously saved from tragedy. At such times we may remember Psalm 34:7.

The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. (Psalms 34:7)


For these and many other reasons, we should thank God for His divine intervention in sending His angels to free you personally from your captivity, be it physical or financial! Let’s look closely at what the angel did. The angel did not go to the temple to speak. Instead, he said to those men that he had freed, "Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life" (Acts 5:20). And so it is with the Great Commission. Christ does not speak to angels, but to us, when He says,

"Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." (Mark 16:15)


.

Your Angel's Awake Even When You're Not

But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. (Matthew 1:20)



Finally there’s a better way! Angels can speak to us in our dreams. Joseph was having second thoughts about his relationship with his betrothed, Mary. Although they had never been intimate, she had told him she was with child.


Who could have imagined what poor Joseph was thinking? Mary was supposed to be a virgin for goodness sake! How would you react in a situation like this? Confusion and embarrassment was just the beginning of what he must have been feeling. But the Lord sent one of his messengers to ease the mind of Joseph who continued to ponder what was going on.


Sometimes God will send an angel to speak to you in your calm state.



The way I look at it, was Joseph fell asleep into what I believe is a state of calmness. The Lord decided that this calmness was the perfect time to send him a word through His messenger, an angel. The angel visited Joseph in a dream and told Joseph not to fear because Mary was about to give birth to the very son of God. Joseph finally had clarity and knew exactly what his actions should be.


When your angel delivers clarity to your situation,you will no longer have to wonder what to do.


Now, for the first time Joseph understood that his virgin wife would give birth to a son who would be called Emmanuel, which interpreted means “God is with us”. All this came to him while in the midst of a dream.


What’s more your angels are always with you because God is always with you. God has sent them to help bring clarity to you in your state of confusion. The angels have been sent to shine the light of the Lord upon your path so that you can see the very next step you need to take clearly. But you must be ready and prepared to hear them, even in your dreams.



So remember this is your season to watch for the signs, to communicate with your angels daily, and to know that God will speak to you through His angels even while you are sleep. Your sleep is a period of peace that can be used to bring Divine clarity to your situation.

Real Fact: Money Requires Skill

My money is restored; and, lo, it is even in my sack: and their heart failed them, and they were afraid, saying one to another, What is this that God hath done unto us?
(Genesis 42:28)


In today’s uncertain economy, did you know that money will escape the unskillful? Money works diligently for those who can apply it to profitable work. Money degenerates when left idle and will lose its energy and vitality. Work is merely the outgrowth of purpose, which money is compelled to fulfill.


Money can slip away from you!



Money slips away from those who do not know how it should be guarded. If you are unskilled concerning the laws of wealth, then you will find that money will escape from you. Money will gravitate and bring increase only to those who possess money wisdom. When the Lord came and saw what the other two servants had done with their talents He said, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”


This we promise, the hand of the diligent shall be blessed, but those who deal with a slack hand shall always tend towards poverty. Diligence equals time; and time, when it is invested properly, is more valuable than investing money. Many of us do not have time to wait for our investments to mature because we live in an instant society.


Instant gratification robs you of multiplication!



So many are accustomed to instant gratification and we expect it in every area. This is your season to know that life is all about timing... the unreachable becomes reachable, the unavailable become available, the unattainable… attainable. Have patience, wait it out… it’s all about timing

Did You Know That Thoughts Are Things?

Who Are You? Think about it! That’s an important question to answer not just in terms of achieving your goals and dreams; it’s an important question to ask yourself when developing your relationships with others. Who you tell yourself you are, who you believe you are in your own eyes, becomes reflected in the eyes of others. That reflection becomes your reality, and it will manifest in your relationships. If you habitually tell yourself, “People are always going to be out to double-cross me,” then guess what? You’re only going to find people in your life that will double-cross you!


“And we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.” (Numbers: 13:33)



But the Bible tells us that we are the temples of God. We represent God’s vision translated from the Unseen to the Seen, from his own Mind to our Spirit, then to our physical forms. Does that process sound familiar? It’s exactly the same process you follow when you envision a home-based business, a new invention, a poem or a goal to run a marathon, and then put your desires into action to bring that goal into physical reality. Once you imagine it, it exists. Let’s face it - Every one of us is a creator!


Have you ever known those individuals who seem blessed by God in their relationships, who just seem to attract the right people into their professional and personal lives all the time? I mean, these folks could walk into a gang neighborhood and walk out with a new business partner. That’s no accident. They are blessed by God, the God in their minds, the incarnation of the Father in them. These people radiate an aura of self-confidence, self-worth, positive vision and possibility because they tell themselves that is what they deserve.


NOW FOR THE SURPRISE!



You too can radiate that aura of self-confidence, self-worth and positive vision. All that remains is for those qualities to show themselves in their material reality, and they always do. If you meditate on the God within you and believe with all your heart that you are a doer of great things, that you are a fount of talent, energy and big ideas, and that people will flock to you to work with you, then you will create an atmosphere of possibility.





Turn Your Crisis Into Opportunity For Christ = Opportunity

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God Romans: 12:2

It ‘s no secret that growth demands change and change come with the renewing of the mind. But be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind. Romans: 12:2


You’ve probably noticed that the change frequently comes in the form of what we perceive as a crisis. A crisis is simply a sudden change that on the surface can be perceived as negative. If you get a pink slip one day at your job, you might view that immediately as a crisis: “How will I pay my bills?” But if you are operating on a spiritual level where nothing negative can happen to you unless you allow it, you can reframe your job loss and turn crisis into opportunity: “I’m free to use my ideas to start my own business and make as much money as I’m worth!”


Disaster in the making or a gateway to riches!


No doubt about it, the Chinese understand this. There is a story that the Chinese character for “crisis” is a combination of the characters for “danger” and “opportunity,” and that’s not entirely true, but the truth is even more telling. The Chinese term for crisis actually translates to “precarious moment.” What could be more perfect? A precarious moment is a time when you are perched on the edge of an event and must choose whether to regard it as a disaster in the making or a gateway to riches.

Your response will shape your actions.


To be perfectly honest, it is your choice; the event does not change, merely your response to it. Your response will shape your actions, the actions of others and the reaction of the universe. If you respond with fear, you will reap fear. If you respond with the anticipation that this event will bring you closer to success, the universe will respond in kind.


Seeing crisis as opportunity is a matter of training your mind to look beyond the immediate and see the potential. It’s going back to ignoring the facts and seeing the truth.


The way I look at it is, if you wind up in the hospital because of an injury, it could be a crisis. Or you could choose to regard it as an opportunity work on meditation, read important books and invest in your mind, and recapture connections with family and friends you have been too busy to see. Any of these positive changes could be the one act that brings on your miracle. You never know.

You Can Retune Your Disharmony!

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew: 6:33

There’s no substitute for accord, for harmony is everything when you are trying to master Cosmic Economics. To capture the riches and miracles God has in mind for you, you must bring your Self, your spirit Self, and your consciousness into harmony with God’s Kingdom. That means letting go of the things in your material life that create disharmony. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, Matthew: 6:33

The Devil thrives on disharmony

Don’t take chances for disharmony is the cause of much of the evil that occurs. Evil is really just disharmony between fact and truth. If disease keeps showing up, it is because you continue to treat it and in doing so, you acknowledge it. You give it power by granting it existence. Like a dog, disease keeps showing up for the “treat.” As long as you treat disease, you will foster a disharmony in your mind between the fact of your disease and the truth that you are without disease. From that disharmony come your symptoms. That’s true for any aspect of life. Poverty is a disease of your natural prosperity, a disharmony. And the Devil thrives on disharmony. He sows it within you whenever you allow him access.

Sadness and depression are just symptoms of your disharmony



Where is the disharmony in your life? Health problems; Unhappy relationships; the events of your life that create sadness and depression are just symptoms of your disharmony. So in this exercise, we will exorcise your disharmony. You will use your vision to see clearly the areas of your life that are allowing Satan a foothold to breed disharmony and discontent, and thereby pull your attention away from the high places and down to the cruel facts of your daily life.


Ø First, write down the areas in your life where you have disharmony.


Ø Second, write down how that disharmony manifests for each (depression, lack of money, anger, etc.).


Ø Finally write down the actions you can take to bring each area back into harmony.


By bringing your areas of disharmony back into tune with each other, you will cause the negative to cease to exist. You will deny the Devil

and instantly alter your outlook on life.

Recapture Connections!


The truth is harmony is all-important. When your mind and self are in harmony with your desires, you will manifest those desires and all errors will disappear. If you can change your outlook on things, the things in life will change concerning you. Life regards you as you regard it, and when you look at it with positive eyes and a mind in harmony, it will give them back to you.



"The Way, The Truth and The Life"

The one key central message of the Holy Bible is that Jesus Christ is the only way to God the Father and His dwelling place, heaven. There is no other way into the Kingdom of God! As you will see in the Scripture verses I will list below, Jesus Christ is God's only plan of eternal salvation for the entire world...specifically says, without any other possible interpretation, that there is only one God, one faith, one baptism and one way to God the the Father - and that is only through His Son Jesus Christ and His sacrificial death on the cross. Jesus says that He, and only He, is the way, the truth and the life leading to God the Father and that no one comes to the Father except through Him!

Many people, including some Christians, believe that God the Father honors all other religions as long as people try to live a good and godly life and try to stay out of trouble.


As you will see in the Scripture verses I will list below, this is not the way God the Father has everything set up. God will not honor any other religion, and He makes it very clear that it is only through His Son and His sacrificial death on the cross that will give people eternal salvation and thus eternal life with Him in heaven.


The Bible says that we are appointed for the defense of the gospel. It is our job, when called upon, to defend God and Jesus on the basics of our salvation. Here are two verses specifically telling us this:


"... knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel." (Philippians 1:17)


"... always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you ..." (1 Peter 3:15) Below are some of the main verses from Scripture that will deal with the basics of our salvation through Jesus Christ. These verses are the basic ammunition that you will need when witnessing to anyone.


There are 6 main principles to the basic message of God’s plan of eternal salvation to the entire world. Here they are, along with all of the Scripture verses to back them up.


1. Jesus Christ is the Only Way to God the Father and Heaven


As stated above, there is no other name under Heaven by which man can be saved other than through the name of Jesus Christ! God the Father will not honor any other name, religion or faith!


Please note the extreme power and authority on the first four verses listed below. These first four verses specifically tell us, without any other possible interpretation, that Jesus Christ is the only way to be able to receive eternal salvation from God the Father.


"Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." (Acts 4:12)


"For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all ..." (1 Timothy 2:5)


"There is one body and one Spirit ... one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all." (Ephesians 4:4)


Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." (John 14:6)





"I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and find pasture ... I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." (John 10:9)





Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life, he who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die." (John 11:25)


Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life." (John 8:12)



And Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger and he who believes in Me shall never thirst." (John 6:35)


"I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world." (John 6:51)


"... whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:15-16)


"He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him." (John 3:36)


"Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins." (John 8:24)


"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life." (John 5:24)


"... And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; He who does not have the Son of God does not have life." (1 John 5:11)


"And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God." (1 John 4:14) I do not see any other interpretation as to what these verses are trying to tell us other than Jesus Christ is the only way to God the Father and His dwelling place, heaven! I don’t think God the Father could have made things any more clearer than by the way He has worded all of the above Scripture verses!


Jesus Himself said in the New Testament that He did not come to bring peace - but division! What He means by this is that He is drawing a major battle line in the sand. You either believe in Him and everything that He stands for - or you do not. There are no middle or neutral grounds on this issue.


If you choose not to believe in Jesus and His message of eternal salvation through His death on the cross, then you will die in your sins and go straight to hell when you die - no if, ands or buts about it! The life that we are living down here on this earth is serious business! The choices that we make in this life will determine our ultimate fate in the afterlife.


Choose Jesus and the blood that He has personally shed for you on the cross - and you will become saved and born again - and you will then enter into the most incredible place imaginable when you die - heaven itself!


Choose anyone or anything else, and you will cross over into the most horrible place imaginable when you die - hell itself, and then eventually into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone after the Millennium has taken place, where the Bible says that the smoke of your torment will ascend forever and ever!


2. God Desires All Men to be Saved-God has given each man and each woman a free will to make their own choices in this life. The next 3 verses will show us that God does not want anyone to perish, but that He will not make or force anyone to accept Him and His Son and what His Son's death on the cross really means for all of us.


Here are three very powerful verses showing that God wants all men and all women to be saved through the Blood of His Son Jesus.


"... God our Savior, who desires ALL MEN to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth." (1 Timothy 2:4)


"The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance." (2 Peter 3:9)

"For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For WHOEVER calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:12)


Notice that God is wanting all men and all women to accept His free gift of eternal salvation through His Son Jesus Christ. He is not making any exceptions either by race, color, creed or gender.


The Bible also tells us that God the Father is no respecter of persons, which means He loves each man and each woman equally and unconditionally.


3. We Are Saved by Grace Through Faith - Not WorksThe gift of eternal salvation is a free gift given by God to all those who will believe on Jesus and what His death on the cross really means for all of us. These next 3 verses will specifically tell us that good works will not get us into heaven.



Works are needed after salvation.


The Bible says that faith without works is dead - but that is after you have received God's gift of eternal salvation. After you get saved, God has a plan and a purpose for your life, and this is where you will go to work for God into whatever your calling is going to be in Him.


But to initially receive the gift of eternal salvation from God the Father is simply done through faith and belief in accepting Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. Here are the verses:


"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast." (Ephesians 2:8)


"... knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ ... for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified." (Galatians 2:16)


"Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin ... for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:20,23)


The Bible specifically tells us in that last verse that all men and all women have sinned and have fallen way short of the glory of our God. The Bible says that there are none that are righteous before the eyes of God the Father.


As a result, none of our fleshly works, no matter how good we think they may be, will ever be good enough to get us into heaven or back into the good graces of our Lord and Savior.


4. The Gift of Salvation Now Makes Us Righteous Before God the Father
Once you become saved and born again by accepting Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, the Bible says that we are now made perfectly righteous before the eyes of God. The righteousness of Jesus has now been imputed to us. This means that we are now free to approach the throne of God for intimate prayer and communication, and when we die, we will all go straight to heaven.


Even though we will continue to commit sin from time to time, God will always forgive us as long as we properly confess each sin when it does happen. We will never become totally sinless or perfect. No one will ever become the fourth person of the Holy Trinity. Only God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are totally perfect in Their actual natures and in all of Their ways. Humans and angels are not!


The Bible says that all men have sinned and will continue to sin, and thus will fall way short of the glory of our God. That is why Jesus had to come and die for all of our sins - which will include all of the past sins that we have ever committed, all of the present sins we are now committing, and all of the future sins that we will ever commit.


As a result of Jesus dying on the cross for all of our sins, God the Father now sees us as righteous and justified before His very eyes - now and for all of eternity, even though we are all still sinners! Talk about an incredible pardon!


Here are two very powerful verses showing us that we have now all been made perfectly righteous and perfectly justified before God the Father as a result of Jesus dying on the cross for all of our sins.


"For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." (2 Corinthians 5:21)


"But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him." (Romans 5:8)


So not only do we get a full pardon and a full remission for all of our sins, but we now get to be made perfectly righteous before God the Father Himself. Righteousness and Redemption - what more could we ask for!


5. How to Become Saved and Receive the Gift of Eternal Salvation


The Bible makes it very clear as to how to receive the Gift of Eternal Salvation from God the Father:


Admit that we are sinners, be willing to confess our sins before God, and be willing to repent and turn from those sins.


Be willing to accept the fact that Jesus Christ came to our earth in the flesh to die on the cross for all of our sins, that He rose from the dead on the third day, and then be willing to formally accept Him as your personal Lord and Savior.

This acceptance of Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior must be confessed out loud before God the Father. It does not have to be done in a church. This can happen to anyone at anytime at any place. It can be done in the privacy of one’s own bedroom. Here are three specific verses showing all of the above points.


"REPENT THEREFORE and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord." (Acts 3:19)


"IF WE CONFESS OUR SINS, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9)


"... if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes to righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made to salvation." (Romans 10:9)


Notice the last verse says to confess with your mouth, and with the mouth confession is made to receive salvation. This means just saying a good, basic salvation prayer out loud direct to God the Father from your heart.


Below is a good, basic salvation prayer to give to someone who wants to get saved by accepting Jesus as his personal Lord and Savior. Some people call this the "Sinners Prayer." Others call it a basic salvation prayer. Either title will work.


Basic Salvation Prayer


Say the following prayer out loud, believe it from your heart and you will be saved.


Dear Father,
I now believe that Jesus Christ is Your only begotten Son, that He came to our earth in the flesh and died on the cross to take away all of my sins and the sins of this world. I believe that Jesus Christ then rose from the dead on the third day to give all of us eternal life.
Lord Jesus,

I now confess to You all of the wrong and sinful things I have ever done in my life. I ask that You please forgive Me and wash away all of my sins by the blood that You have personally shed for me on the cross. I am now ready to accept You as my personal Lord and Savior. I now ask that You come into my life and live with Me for all of eternity.


Father, Jesus - I now believe that I am truly saved and born again.


Thank you Father.Thank you Jesus.


For more information on the above Sinner's Prayer, we have another article in our site in the Prayer section titled "The Sinner's Prayer." In this article, we give you some additional information as to what goes on behind the scenes in the spiritual realm when God does start to move in on someone in an effort to try and get them saved.


6. Become a Fisherman for God


All of the above are what I call the basics to understanding what eternal salvation through Jesus Christ is really all about. I’ll be doing other articles on what it really means to be born again, as this comes off the story of Adam and Eve.


To lead someone into eternal salvation through Jesus Christ is really a work of the Holy Spirit. I will show you how God the Father will set people up, and why every Christian needs to be open and sensitive to letting God, through the Holy Spirit, direct you as to who you should witness to and exactly how to go about it. Now that your are saved, God wants you to become a fisherman for Him.

All of the above Scripture verses will give you major live ammunition to use when trying to get someone saved. The Holy Spirit will really move on someone if you stay with His leadings as to when to witness to that someone and exactly how to go about it.


According to the Bible, the greatest thing we can accomplish in this life is to get another person saved and brought home to the Lord - because with the gift of eternal salvation comes the gift of eternal life - which means that when we die, we will be able to enter into heaven to be with God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, all of Their angels and all of our saved loved ones who have passed away and are now living in heaven.


To bring a person into that reality after they die is the greatest thing you can do for another human being! It is the ultimate superman scenario.


You are literally saving their eternal life. I don’t believe there is any other accomplishment that will bring about as much fulfillment as this one act will do.


I’ll leave you with 16 good verses from the Bible showing you the extreme importance on God being able to use each and every one of us to get other people saved in this life.


Then Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations ..." (Matthew 28:18)


And He said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." (Matthew 4:19)


"As the Father has sent Me, I also send you." (John 20:21)


"You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." (Matthew 5:14)

"Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops." (Matthew 10:27)

If you believe the Holy Bible is truly the inspired and infallible Word of our God, then there is absolutely no other interpretation or spin that you can put on the above verses. God the Father has made it as clear as He possibly could with the way that He has worded all of the above Scripture verses.


Bottom line - God's free gift of eternal salvation can only be received by accepting His Son Jesus Christ and the blood that He has personally shed for each and everyone of us on that day He died on the cross.


There is no other way into the kingdom of God! We either come through the blood and the cross - or we don't come through at all!
I rest my case for my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Who Are Your Greatest Teachers?

The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. John 3:2



Food for thought! Your mentor or teacher is the last face of God you will meet before you meet God in yourself. That’s power. Teachers wield tremendous power to shape our perceptions and share wisdom with us; that is why they are to be respected and given your attention. That means you must become a student and submit to the wisdom of your teachers. Teachers and students are the equal parts of an equation; one cannot exist without the other.

Understanding your future!



Did you know that until you understand your future, you will not find your true teacher? You must forget what you think you know about the material world, blank your mind to your former “knowledge” that the only way to achieve wealth is to work tirelessly in the physical realm, and accept that you do not know anything. When you can do this, you will become a true student and your true master will appear. It is almost another law of Cosmic Economics: when you are truly searching for a master, and you are in the frame of mind to be a true student, a master will appear. When you can admit you do not know anything, someone comes into your life to begin to light the way.
.
Your master may be someone you have known for years



Here’s why: There are, however, two misconceptions about the master-student relationship. First of all, a master will often not suddenly appear in your life out of nowhere. Your master may be someone you have known for years but did not perceive as a master; remember, your perceptions shape your reality. When you finally acknowledge that you are a seeker, not a purveyor, of knowledge, then that person whom you have known for years will appear to you as a master, someone whose wisdom you did not value in the past but which holds great value for you now. Masters can come from anywhere.

A master carpenter will not hold the hammer for his apprentice



-Second, great teachers do not teach you how do to something; they show you the way to the wisdom within yourself, so you can find your way to your own results. A master carpenter will not hold the hammer for his apprentice; he will simply show the apprentice the proper technique and attitude for striking the nail, cutting the board, drawing the plans. It is up to the apprentice to apply that wisdom and develop his own technique. God did not create you out of himself to be a mimic or a puppet, but to blaze your own trail. True learning comes from absorbing the wisdom of the teacher and then finding your own way to the truth of God. Let me help you find the way your Father have ordained for you.

Is Rejection Causing Fear to Come Upon You?

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love, and of a sound mind. 2Timothy: 1v7



It’s no secret that many of the fears that prevent people from seeking out and producing change in their lives are based on rejection. Fear of rejection by a social circle, by a would-be lover, by a college, by an employer. However, rejection is a form of birthing. When a mother gives birth to her child, she is in a way rejecting it from her body. In situations where you experienced rejection, God was trying to birth you into a new state of being. If you viewed the rejection as negative, that is because you chose to name it as negative.


Move beyond your current state!



In today’s uncertain economy rejection is almost always the universe’s way of kicking you out the door because you have surpassed your current level and are ready to elevate to the next one. But when you view rejection negatively, when you grieve and refuse to embrace the change that rejection signals, God yanks you out of the game. You’re on the bench while someone who understands how God works takes your place.



Rejection is the universe telling you that you have moved beyond your current state—the type of woman you tend to choose, the quality of job you’re applying for, and so on. It’s a wake-up call that’s telling you to seek something higher if you want to be accepted.


Are ready to move on


Do something extraordinary for low self-esteem can only come from rejection. If you are rejected and take it personally, that just means you and the Father are not one. In the God mindset, rejection is not a reflection on you, but on your standing in the world. It is a signal that you are ready to move on.



Are you ready for a change and have Gods power act upon your life? Are you ready for supernatural, inexplicable occurrences to take place in your life? Say goodbye to heartache! Say goodbye to pain! Say goodbye to lack! Say goodbye to disappointment! Say goodbye to fear! Say goodbye to want! AND WAVE GOODBYE TO POVERTY, ONCE AND FOR ALL...

Have You Identified Your Wealth Winning Power?

For he shall give his angels charge over thee to keep thee in all thy ways Psalm 91

Who says you can’t win them all? Positive thoughts are angels. They are messengers from God, sent to deliver blessings of plenty to you. In the same way, negative thoughts are fallen angels. They drain your energy and stop your progress. Get those prosaic images of winged beings interceding in your life out of your mind. That is the stuff of bumper stickers and souvenir stores. Angels exist in your mind and have far more power.



But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealt: Deuteronomy : 8:18


Your angels have been given charge over you!



Did you know that the angels of your consciousness determine the face you show to the world? The consciousness you maintain will affect how you look, speak and act on the material plane and that will affect how others perceive you. Your angels have been given charge over you, and the kinds of angels you entertain will shape the attitude you wear, the words you speak and the perceptions others hold of you. How you speak to the world will determine the kinds of spirits you subject yourself to.


Go inside yourself and change!



You already have what it takes to win. So cross the threshold so you can see that it is vital to develop an awareness of how the angels you entertaining are shaping and molding your subconscious. It is your subconscious that manifests as your speech, your attitude, and your sense of purpose and mission. If you want to achieve your desires, you must allow your power as God to come forth and influence the material world from the place of your Spirit. In order for that to happen in a way that serves you, you must become a positive, holy vessel for that power. You must know the consciousness that is imprinted on your face and if it is not what you want, be able to go inside yourself and change it. I am your Master Prophet your most trusted name in prophecy.


Say goodbye to want!


Are you ready for a miracle? Are you ready for supernatural, inexplicable occurrences to take place in your life? Say goodbye to heartache! Say goodbye to pain! Say goodbye to lack! Say goodbye to disappointment! Say goodbye to fear! Say goodbye to want! AND WAVE GOODBYE TO POVERTY, ONCE AND FOR ALL

Is Your Money Working For You?

Money answereth all things. Ecclesiastes: 10 v10

Go with a winner! You must see money as a person or it will never come into your life. Are you curious about money as a person? The Bible says that God is preparing us for a new economy in which thoughts and faith are the currency and feasts of celebration are the prime activity. It is wonderful to exult in the joy of the Lord, but if you leave the feast and go home to worry about the landlord and the credit card payment, the feast will be as sand in your throat. You must invite money into your life and offer it a seat at your feast.

Believe it or not money is energy. Money is substance. Money is the power to effect change in this world, and thus it is God at work. It is a tool, so it is neutral. Whether it is good or ill depends on whose hands it is in. But if you do not see money as a person, it will not come into your life at all. You will never be introduced.


Money puts your thoughts into action!



Join the small handful of people who know that money puts your thoughts into action. That is its power. Money is the conduit through which your thoughts become material things. You write a book of pure thoughts and pay for printing to bring it to life…you conceive of an idea for a company and find investment capital to start it up…you build the house of your dreams that only existed on paper a few months before. Money should be in action in your life, bringing your visions into material existence. If it isn’t, then you need to start regarding money as a person, a visitor who is always welcome and can stay as long as it likes.


Say goodbye to want!
