Refuse Conformity to the World
We must learn to refuse conformity to the world and its ways. This is not easy. We have been raised in worldly philosophies and surrounded by people who live this way.
The answer is not isolation. We cannot run away to a hiding place and never be seen again. No, that’s not the answer. Doing this will not make you successful and abundant. Besides, even if you separated yourself from everyone, you would still be stuck with your unrenewed mind.

Use Jesus’ Authority
When Jesus Christ walked the earth, He demonstrated the creative power of speaking God’s words. The disciples were at sea with Him once when a fierce storm arose. Panic struck. In their terror, the disciples were thrust into a world charged with fear. They were living in the moment in anxiety, tension, stress, and impending tragedy. When they woke Jesus, Who was sleeping peacefully, to tell Him of the peril, He stepped onto the boat’s bow and spoke a creative word to the storm: “Peace, be still.” When Jesus said it, the Holy Spirit accomplished it, and there was peace.

It is Good to Be Wrong
There are some people who cannot admit they are wrong and others who cannot stand to be wronged. Both have difficulties serving God.
When we are wrong, we must admit it. When we are wronged, there are times when we must fight that wrong and other times when we must submit to it. Knowing when to fight and when to submit is the key to winning and losing.

Our Children
Many parents see only the wrong in their children. In prayer, we can ask God to forgive our children. Then we move beyond the sins and into the realm of the supernatural when we begin to confess Christ’s forgiveness for them, Christ’s care for them, the Father’s provision for their salvation, and His plans for their lives. Our egos as parents may be hurt to see our children acting up in school or dropping out of church activities, but we have to subject our egos to the Holy Spirit to pray effectively for them.
The flow of God’s Spirit is a positive flow, full of the goodness of God, His love, grace, mercy, and forgiveness. When we pray according to His Spirit or confess His goodness during a conversation, we release His power into our lives, the lives of others, and the very circumstances in which we find ourselves.

Jesus Gave you the Authority to Speak His Words
Do you have a need, or does someone you know have a problem? Then pray about what to say, and then say it with the authority of Jesus. Let the Holy Spirit bring healing into your life by speaking the words of Jesus. Jesus gave you the authority to speak His words. You are His mouth, His eyes, His hands, His ears. You are the Body of Christ here on earth. So, regardless of who is in need, if the Lord gives you a healing word to speak, then speak it in Christ’s stead.

God’s Pattern for Success
Our problem is that we take the pattern someone else wears or follows and imprint it on ourselves, trying to make it work for us as it did for them. We want to copy them. We want to emulate them. But when we fail the way they did, we wonder why. Of course, we will have similarities with others, but still, our patterns will be uniquely our own.
You can find God’s basic patterns while listening to a teacher in a crowd. But you will discover God’s individual design for your life when you are all alone with Him.
God’s pattern for success for you is where you meet Him individually, and God reveals His will and design to you personally.
No matter what may have happened to you in the past, the ultimate goal for your life is not crisis, trouble, or disaster. Instead, the top destination for your life is a success, holiness, righteousness, and conformity to the image of Jesus Christ.

Prosperity is the Natural, Sequentially-Ordered Result of Righteousness in Life.
God’s conversion process occurs at the cross of Jesus Christ, God’s Word Incarnate. The cross gives us our victories. Jesus’ death was the greatest triumph for humanity. Initially, we were created as Adam’s children in our flesh. But at the cross, we were recreated by supernatural conversion into God’s family as His children.
As new creations, we have recourse to all the resources of Heaven made available to us for the totality of our living. We are encouraged by God to go both day and night to use the help of Heaven for whatever our needs may be. The total resources of Heaven are invested in Calvary, so if we need resources from Heaven at any time, we get them through the cross. Read more…

God loves a cheerful Giver
God honors those who honor Him.5 The greatest way to honor Him is to have faith in Him. Give to God as an act of faith. It is God-honoring. Tithing, like baptism, witnessing, or other acts that honor God, is external evidence of an internal work. Internally, we have given ourselves over to God. Externally, we die to ourselves and give to Him materially, with our dedication, and with our time and energy, telling others of His Good News. God loves a cheerful giver.
