Prayer Requests and Praises to God

Prayer Requests & Praises to God

Do you have a prayer request or a praise report you’d like to share?

Well I’ve added a new page on the site for you to post these on.  

Go here to leave your Prayer Requests.

James 5:16 says “… pray for one another … the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.”

I will be in prayer with you and ask that you also pray for others as you leave your requests. Feel free to also leave your praise reports and thanks to God for answered prayers…

The power of prayer is real and may we all strive to be prayer warriors!

Be blessed,
Brenda

How Does My Faith Affect My Prosperity? Discover Abundance Tapping Faith

How Does My Faith Affect My Prosperity?

Discover Abundance Tapping Faith

Having little faith equals having little prosperity in your life. It is important that you learn how to take daily steps to increase your faith.

Faith opens the door to unlimited creative power, resources, success and abundance. No one can advance further in life than the level of their faith in God, themselves, and in their missions in life. Faith leads to every great achievement. A lack of faith simply equals a lack of prosperity because it prevents you from reaching your desired outcome.

Our faith is not just empty fantasy, but a positive substance. It is a real creative force. It is a force that produces.

Hebrews 11:1 says, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

Faith leads to every great achievement. Faith does not think or guess. It knows and sees the way out. The person supported by faith persists and achieves what they go after. It is through faith that the greatest discoveries and inventions are made.

The lack of faith in your life toward God, yourself, or your purpose is a hindering factor in being prosperous and successful. As human beings it seems to be such a difficult task to discover the great possibilities within ourselves and establish the faith needed to inspire and pursue our ambitions.

How do we increase our faith and unlock that enormous power within us?

In Romans 10:17 we are told that faith comes by hearing, and hearing the Word of God. Notice it tells us that faith comes by not just hearing once but hearing over and over. Also take note that it requires hearing the Word of God.  We can have a measure of faith in a lot of areas, but without a growing faith in God’s Word, we limit ourselves.

Faith is emphasized more than almost any other thing throughout the Bible. The miraculous power of faith to achieve and to accomplish is constantly being emphasized. Christ said many times, “According to thy faith be it unto you.” He emphasized the two words ‘faith’ and ‘belief’ more than all others. These seemed to be the magic words that tapped into a tremendous force more powerful than plugging into electricity.

God made you for success, not failure. He wants you to prosper. So encourage yourself daily with positive affirmations and find out what God’s Word has to say about who you are. Increasing your faith daily keeps the doubts away. Use great faith to prosper and be the magnificent success God intended you to be! :0)

May you experience growing prosperity in your life as your faith increases daily!

Be blessed,

Seek the LORD, In Him we Live, Acts 17

Seek the LORD – In Him we Live, and Move, and Have our Being!

“That they should seek the LORD, if haply they might feel after Him,
and find Him, though He be not far from every one of us:
For in Him we live, and move, and have our being;
as certain also of your own poets have said,
For we are also His offspring.”
— Acts 17:27-28

This video is less than a minute…

Act 17 reminds us that God is not far from any one of us.
(Even though the devil wants us to think He is far away!)

Seek the Lord – In Him is fullness of joy!  :0)

God bless you,

How to Attract Prosperity – Instant Download

How to Attract Prosperity – FREE Download

A Shared Treasure to Help You Prosper!

Before my dad passed away a number of years ago, he gave a book to my older brother. My brother then passed it down to me.

I started reading it and thinking this is really good – but, you know how it goes sometimes … it got put on the bookshelf before I finished reading it. Well recently I spotted it and started reading it again.

All I can say is, WOW, what a treasure this book is!

If you’ve read it already, you know what I mean. It is a 1917 book titled “How to Get What You Want” by Orison Swett Marden.

Don’t let the age of the book fool you. The principles are just as applicable and powerful today, since they are biblically based.

I quickly put together a download for you that includes chapter eight from the book: How to Attract Prosperity.  It is available when subscribing to the Growing Prosperity Newsletter.

I plan to make the complete book available in the near future.

I just found it is often easier to absorb chunks of information at a time.  And this chapter includes timely information that I know you’ll find valuable, so I hope you’ll take the time to read and apply it. I’d recommend printing, highlighting and taking notes.  It has some life changing principles on how we attract or repel prosperity with our thoughts.

I hope it impacts your life as much as it has mine!

Be blessed,
Brenda

P.S. I’d love to hear your comments…

What Gives Us the Right to Enter God’s Presence?

What Gives Us the Right to Enter God’s Presence?

We enjoyed guest ministers, Mark and Trina Hankins, last night at our church. They’ll actually be ministering to us three nights in a row.

They taught on what seems to be a taboo message that freaks people out a little. And frankly, I think the only reason that is, is because it’s not talked about enough. The blood of Jesus.

Mark Hankins taught on the things connected and associated with the power that is available in the blood that Jesus paid on the cross. His main reference was in Hebrews 10:19-22 and how because of the blood we can boldly access the throne of God.

We have boldness to enter into the Holiest by the blood of Jesus. Hebrews 10:19

The price Jesus paid covers more than forgiveness & our salvation. The blood also pays for freedom from a sin consciousness and freedom from the curse (such as poverty, sickness, and depression). Our faith in the blood is the currency that pays for these freedoms.

What Christ did is perfect and the blood alone has done everything. Perfect.

But our access to it (which is by faith) can be imperfect.

In the Old Testament only the high priest was able to enter the throne room and he did it in fear. We now have a better covenant and not only have access to the Holiest, but we are told to go boldly.

Our conscious (inner voice, reminding us of past sins) can shut down our heart and keep us from entering into the presence of God. Our heart needs to be open to fully move into His presence.

It’s the blood of Jesus and the Holy Spirit working together that opens up our heart and has a magnetic like pull to take us into the presence of God.

Hebrews 10:22 tells us to draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith.

Have unshakeable assurance that God, our Father, is eager to see us. When we show up He is happy to see us.  :0) He wants to fellowship with us!

God wants us to draw near to him, but we have to do the “drawing near”. Mark Hankins reminded us that God has not moved. We are the ones who have drawn back.

We are to go boldly to the throne of God to obtain mercy and grace for help in time of need (Heb 4:16). If we don’t get bold and go, we’ll continue to carry our own burdens. And we have to be bold; because the devil is doing everything he can to distract us!

Like any will, that is only available to the inheritors after a death, God’s will in the New Testament became available after the death of Jesus.

The apostle Paul says that as believers we have a massive inheritance! Everything He gave to Jesus is ours. Equal possession with equal position.

If the enemy can hinder us to take our position, he can take our possession.

You have to take your position to take your possession and prosper. Open your heart to the fellowship of the Father. And don’t be satisfied with an intellectual relationship.

God is our Father. He wants and desires us to come to Him. He wants to fellowship and have a close relationship with us. And because of the price Jesus paid we have the right to be in the presence of God.

How do we know if we have been in His presence? If we have joy.

You cannot access His presence without being changed and come out with joy. In His presence is the fullness of joy!

I pray that we all may purpose to spend more time in His life changing presence!

God bless you,
Brenda

How to Reverse Poverty – 3 Effective Tips You Can Use to Attract Prosperity

How to Reverse Poverty – 3 Effective Tips You Can Use to Attract Prosperity

Stop Repelling Your Prosperity and Start Attracting It!

Living in a poverty-stricken condition is very painful to say the least. Life is just plain hard when lack is what you dwell in. Not being able to pay your bills and provide for the needs of your family and yourself hurts. Lacking health, energy, and a creative mind is a state of poverty that keeps you from fully living life.

How do you end this poverty-stricken condition? The following effective tips will help guide you into a prosperous and abundant life.

1.)  Connect to the great universal infinite supply.

Acknowledge God as the creator and source of all supply. Prosperity is attracted when we are conscious that God is our partner, our Shepherd, and in Him we do not want. In Him there is no lack. Ephesians 3:19 tells us that to know the love of Christ, we can be filled with all the fullness of God.

2.)  Substitute poverty thinking with a prosperous mindset.

Poverty must be conquered from the inside out. Abundance cannot get to those who are repelling it with fearful thoughts of worry and doubt. Opposite thoughts and beliefs repel each other. Trying to overcome illness when you believe you’ll always be sick won’t bring health. Trying to become prosperous and successful, while thinking, talking, and predicting poverty won’t bring prosperity.  We attract prosperity by first having a prosperous mental attitude.

3.)  Tap into the abundant stream of plenty with great expectation.

There is an unlimited supply of plenty available. The measure in which prosperity flows into your life is based on your level of belief. When you tap into this stream with magnetizing faith you flood your life with abundance. The supply is there and there is no limitation. The stream of plenty flows toward faith and confidence in a big way. The trouble is many pinch or cut off the inflow of prosperity with mental limitations from doubts, fears, anxiety, and thoughts of lack.

Psalm 115:14-15 says, “The Lord shall increase you more and more, you and your children. You are blessed of the Lord which made heaven and earth.”

Poverty is a painful condition that no one wants to be in. However, you can end it and attract prosperity. The never ending supply stream of plenty is flowing right past your door daily. It rests with you to connect with the flow to receive all the good things made available for you. Put the above tips into practice. Acknowledge God as your source. Continue to keep a prosperous mindset and attract prosperity in a big way with magnetizing faith.

May you experience growing prosperity in your life as you stay connected with God!

Be blessed,
Brenda
