Live to Give – Do You Understand this Secret for Abundant Living and Growing Prosperity?

The Art of Giving is a Secret for Abundant Living!

Abundant living comes when we live to give.

One of the main ‘secrets’ of abundant living is:

The art of giving. 

Don’t let a spirit of fear prevent you…

from giving and keep you in lack.

But if I Give I’ll Have Less

Unfortunately, a common belief many people have is that giving a portion of what they have will result in having less. Bear in mind, this belief causes many folks to live in fear of giving, and a lack of giving in turn prevents the flow of abundance in a person’s life.

Okay, okay. I hear you saying, “But, wait a minute. If I have 20 dollars and I give away 10, now I only have 10.”

Yes, this is true. In the natural 20 minus 10 equals 10, so in the short-term we may seem to have less. This is the same as a farmer who after planting his seed may seem to have less.

But bear with me a little longer; because, giving is a spiritual principle and it has the ability to change our spiritual and natural situation. When we give we are like the farmer who plants and tends his seed; then after some time receives his harvest. 

“Give, and it shall be given to you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that you give it shall be measured back to you.” 
– Luke 6:38

The More You Give, The More You Have

The paradox of life is that the more you give, the more you have. We see this explained in the previously quoted verse. This verse gives an image of super-abundance. We can open a floodgate of blessings into our lives by giving to others freely.

The thing is, when we give money, forgiveness, love, etc., it opens spiritual channels that set in motion a movement of abundance that circulates around and comes back to us in profound and indirect ways.

Giving is like planting seeds. We have to actually plant the seeds if we expect to receive a harvest. And if we plant a small amount, we receive a small harvest; plant a large amount and we receive a large harvest.

Give Abundantly and Live Abundantly

We can give abundantly and live abundantly. Remember also, that you are rich in the respect that you have a spirit that is inexhaustible. So let no mean attitude or selfish thought keep you from sharing this spirit. Be a generous giver at heart and in all you do.

“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” 
– Winston Churchill

Mark my words: Life will take on a whole new meaning for you as you live to give. Give and keep giving. Give from the heart; of your time, money, comfort, and resources. Then don’t be surprised as you begin to live abundantly.

May you live to give and learn this secret for abundant living and growing prosperity!

Abundant Living – Prosperity Destroys Fools! So Why Don’t You Wise Up and Prosper?

How to Use Your Confession to Prosper and Manifest the Abundance of God

Abundant living requires handling the affairs of life wisely.

Yes, I know, prosperity occasionally falls in the laps of

some individuals; for example, they may get an unexpected

inheritance or win the lottery.

However, we all know that IF these individuals are fools,

the prosperity will destroy them.

Prosperity Destroys Fools

“The prosperity of fools shall destroy them. But whoever hearkens unto Me shall dwell safely.” 
– Proverbs 1:32-33

Some argue against being prosperous, and their reason is that ‘prosperity will destroy you.’ But the Bible says it will destroy a fool. So don’t be a fool.

How do we keep from being fools? Joshua 1:8 tells us that if we follow God’s method and confess the Word of God, then we will make our way prosperous, and deal wisely in all the affairs of life and have good success.

Wise Up and Prosper

Prosperity is a blessing, if it is acquired God’s way. A powerful way of keeping in line with God’s methods and activating His Word is through confessing it.

Now, sometimes people hear this and get crazy ideas about what this means. But all confessing really means is, speaking the Word of God out loud so you can hear yourself saying it. In order for us to succeed we must confess it out loud. This allows us to hear our own voices and that brings faith, because faith comes by hearing.

As we confess and affirm the Word of God, what we are doing is setting goals, and planting seeds in our heart. How can we expect to get something or somewhere if we don’t know what we want or where we are going? We establish God’s goals with His principles when we confess the Word of God. This in turn puts us on track to manifesting the abundance of God in our lives as the planted seeds soon become growing prosperity.

Positive Confessions for Abundant Living

Confessing what the Word of God says about you will change your life. Even the most negative people have gotten results after only putting this into practice for a few short months.

Keep in mind, when you first start speaking some of the things God says about you, you may feel like it’s the biggest lie that ever came out of your mouth. But the Word of God reflects the way He sees us, and confessing it helps us see and think about ourselves the same way God does.

Find a truth in God’s Word that pertains to your situation and make it into a confession. For example:

‘My God supplies all my need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus and whatever I do prospers, for I am like a tree planted by the rivers of living water.’
(Philippians 4:19, Isaiah 54:17, Psalm 1:3)

It’s hard to imagine the impact this has on a person until they’ve confessed it every day for at least a month. Confessing the truth of the Word is calling things that are not as though they were and calling them into manifestation. Allow the will of God concerning you to manifest in your life.

So go ahead; put this to the test right away. God’s Word is living and powerful and when confessed will change you. The wisdom of God will empower you to handle all the affairs of life wisely so you can manifest and enjoy abundant living.

May you wise up to God’s ways and live a life of growing prosperity!

Yes, You Can Thrive and Live a Long Abundant and Prosperous Life!

Growing Prosperity – Thrive, Prosper, Flourish and Have Good Success

Growing prosperity is something that is…

possible in every area of life.

God’s desire is that we thrive in life;

not just survive.

However, to get off the treadmill going nowhere will require making the right choices moving forward.

Thrive, Prosper, and Flourish

Thrive is defined as: to make steady progress, to prosper, to grow vigorously, and to flourish. If we are willing to follow the instructions and plans God has given us we will thrive. It is possible to have growing prosperity and flourish in any area of life.

Thriving Crowd or Surviving Crowd?

If we want to get out of survival mode and begin to thrive, then a key choice we need to make is to not hang out with the wrong crowd. We ultimately become like the company we keep.

Do you continually surround yourself with unmotivated, negative minded people that do not thrive? If so, you can’t be surprised if you simply survive in life.

Hanging out continually with the wrong crowd will stunt your growth and rob you of the power to prosper and reach your greatest potential. As you become more determined to follow God’s plan you’ll soon find you become more attracted to those who are serious about their walk with God.

Prosper and Have Good Success

God wants to reveal every good path to you and He has provided sound wisdom that will enable you to live up to your full potential. However, it is up to you to study and meditate His Word regularly…

Then as you put those words of wisdom into practice you will make your way prosperous and have good success. (Joshua 1:8)

When we plant ourselves firmly in God’s Word, we tap into His streams of living water and find that everything we do is fruitful. So instead of running on a treadmill going nowhere and watching things around us wither, everything we do will prosper. (Psalm 1:3)

Yes, you can move out of survival mode and be on your way to thriving. Regardless of your current situation, your future is bright and waiting for you to flourish mightily.

God’s plan is for you to be like those described in Psalm 92:12-14 and flourish like a palm tree in the courts of our God and remain fruitful in old age.

“The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing.” — Psalm 92:12-14

The Good Life Is For You!

Regardless of your background or age, you can grow vigorously and live out God’s good plan for your life. If you refuse to hang out with the wrong crowd and are determined to feed on God’s Word, you can expect to thrive.

It may not come overnight, but if you are faithful to live by the Word of God you can live a long and fruitful life.

Decide today. Make the choice to thrive and not just survive. Don’t get stuck on the treadmills of life that want to steal God’s good plan for you. You were created to win. Yes, you can thrive and live a long, abundant, prosperous life.

May you thrive and flourish in the Word of God and live a long life of growing prosperity!

Spiritual Power – How Can Operating in the Spiritual Realm Bring Prosperity on Earth?

Find Out How You Can Increase Your Spiritual Powers

Spiritual power is available for those…

willing to learn how to use it and improve it.

Just like we can increase the power…

of our minds and bodies to improve our life,

we can increase our spiritual powers -

to manifest abundant prosperity in all areas of life.

Spirit, Soul, and Body

We are three-part beings; spirit, soul (mind), and body. It is normal for people to go to school, study, and take classes throughout life to improve their minds and intellect. It is also a common practice for people to learn how to strengthen and condition their bodies for improved physical strength. These are all good things that improve our overall quality of life and ability to have growing prosperity.

But what about the spirit part of our being? How easy is it to ignore that part of us that we cannot see, touch, or feel?

The thing is; even though the spiritual realm is invisible it still affects our physical world. The condition of our spirit can be strengthen and improved, just like our mind and body, and it also directly affects the quality of our life.

So if you have been neglecting this part of yourself, today is a good day to reconsider the power of the human spirit.

Spiritual Power

What part of you doesn’t grow old? Your inward man, your spirit; it is renewed day by day and never ages.

“Though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.” 
– 2 Corinthians 4:16

It is vital that you realize the Kingdom of God is inside you and operates through your spirit. As a child of God it was your spirit that was born again of the Spirit of God. You now have the life of God in you, who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us. (Eph. 3:20)

When the Greater One is working inside our spirit it is capable of providing everything we need in this life, whether it be spiritual, physical, or financial. It can produce it, lead us to it, or cause it to come. However, we need to learn how to tap into this power and allow our spirit to operate effectively.

Operating in the Spiritual Realm

Our own spirit knows more than our intellect. It is our spirit, inside us, that is the real us that is in contact with God and knows all about our needs, failures, and strengths.

“For what man knows the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him.” 
– 1 Corinthians 2:11

If we learn to tap into the power of our spirit by seeking first the Kingdom of God and studying His Word, we can tap into the wisdom of God and have all things added to us and we will prosper.

God’s system will produce abundance when we are diligent to work the system. It requires getting His Word into our heart and spirit and not just our intellect. Why? Because it is a spiritual operation. We can plant it in our spirit and start it growing by confessing something such as the following daily:

‘I give and it is given unto me. I sow bountifully and reap bountifully. My God supplies all my need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.’

When we begin to operate in the spiritual realm, we empower ourselves with a positive force that wards off negative attacks. This positive, spiritual, faith force works on a higher realm than the physical realm and causes the abundance of God to manifest in our lives even if others are in lack.

Truth is: Knowing how to operate on a higher spiritual realm is worth discovering. When we operate in the realm of the spirit with God, we will find His wisdom and empowerment to bring us growing prosperity on earth.

May you operate on a higher spiritual realm and live a life of growing prosperity!

GrowingProsperity – Why Not Put Angels On Assignment to Help Manifest Abundance in Your Life?

How Can You Put Your Angels to Work?

Growing prosperity is a lifelong process…

that can be helped along the way by putting

our angels on assignment.

Do you put your angels to work or…

have they been on an extended vacation?

God provided angels for us as ministering spirits to serve; so why not let them serve?

Angels – The Ministering Spirits of God

“Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?” – Hebrews 1:14

If you are a child of God, an heir of salvation, then the supernatural beings, angels, the ministering spirits of God are here to minister for you.

The fact that angels are our fellow servants is something we don’t seem to realize. In Revelation 22 an angel appeared to John and he fell down to worship him. But the angel told John, “Don’t worship me, I am your servant.”

The angel also said he is of them which keep the sayings of this book. So if you are keeping the sayings of God’s Book, then the angels are your servants.

Angels on Assignment

Do you realize that angels are listening to the words we speak? What we say has a tremendous effect on what they do.

Many people like to think God is the only one that tells the angels what to do. Angels are called messengers and God does use them for that at times. But sometimes we give them assignments. They are listening to the words we speak in agreement with God’s Word to get their assignment.

If we say what God said, then we are assigning angels to go and cause that thing to manifest. Angels hearken to the voice of God’s Word. (Psalm 103:20) That is why speaking and confessing the Word of God puts the angels to work.

It is when we give voice to God’s Word that the angels will hearken to what we say. If you lay a scripture on your checkbook it won’t cause it to change. But if you give voice to words of promise and begin to confess them, it becomes an assignment for the angels standing by and listening.

Yes, it may take weeks, months, or even years, but rest assured they are working on it.

Sample Confession for Abundance:

‘As I sow bountifully, I reap bountifully. I am blessed coming in and blessed going out. Whatever I do prospers, because I am like a tree planted by the rivers of living water.’

Make no mistake about it: You can give voice to God’s Word and put your angels to work to see that those things spoken by you come to pass and manifest abundantly in your life.

May you put your angels on assignment by speaking the Word of God and enjoy an abundant life of growing prosperity!

Biblical Prosperity – An Abundance of Spiritual Blessings!

Have You Claimed Your Rich Inheritance?

Biblical Prosperity is an important topic for Christians.

God desires to do good things for His children and produce good fruit in their lives.

His blessings on our lives bring glory and honor to Him.

So let’s take a look at what the Bible says about prosperity.

What is Biblical Prosperity and why is the abundant life based on spiritual prosperity?

Biblical Prosperity – Blessed with Spiritual Blessings

God has left all His children a great inheritance and we can see this by reading His will. And what God has provided, He did abundantly. There is no need for His children to divide up a little, because there is more than enough to go around.

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.” 
– Ephesians 1:3

See what I mean? It says ‘ALL’ spiritual blessings in heavenly places. I don’t know about you, but ‘all the spiritual blessings in heavenly places’ sounds like abundance to me!

And notice these blessings have already been provided and this is prosperity that we can walk in NOW, not later. We can tap into this spiritual prosperity by asking God to give us the spirit of wisdom and revelation into His will.

Pray that God opens the eyes of your heart and His Word comes alive in your life.

“The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints.” 
– Ephesians 1:18

As children of God we are made alive together and seated together with Christ in heavenly places. Once we see life from God’s perspective, and realize we are prosperous right now with every spiritual blessing, our life and future outlook becomes changed forever.

Spiritual Prosperity – The Foundation of an Abundant Life

The kingdom of God is a spiritual one and the foundation of our prosperity, as kingdom citizens, starts in heavenly places; an area that we can’t physically see or touch. As children of God we have been given all spiritual blessings in Christ.

Yes, if we want to transform our world and manifest financial prosperity and success we have to observe natural laws. But first we must seek to obey spiritual laws that have power to bring even greater riches in our lives. Then by combining the natural and spiritual laws we can find ourselves with growing prosperity; spirit, soul, and body.

‘The riches of the glory of the inheritance of the saints’ is the great treasure for God’s children. It is the great prosperity –the abundance of God. We are made righteous and sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. We have love, joy, peace, hope, and more…

Biblical prosperity starts with spiritual prosperity first. From there God gives each of us the unique abilities to prosper in life in ways that will bring glory to Him.

Live like King Uzziah, who as long as he sought the Lord, God made him to prosper. (2 Chronicles 26:5)

The truth is: Biblical prosperity is the abundant life. We can have all spiritual blessings when we find our place in Christ! Why not choose to live the great adventure, and the great prosperity that is available in Christ? We can have an abundant and prosperous life in Christ as we continue to pursue and chase after Him…

Are you enjoying the riches of the glory of your inheritance? If not, ask God to open the eyes of your heart and reveal how you are blessed right now with every spiritual blessing.

May the eyes of your understanding be enlightened and your life full of growing prosperity!

Be blessed to be a blessing -

Empowerment – When Temptation Comes a Knocking Why Not Let Honor Slam the Door Shut?

Spiritual Warfare – What Do You Do When You Are Tempted?

Spiritual empowerment has its…

source with God.

In life, temptations are going to come to all of us and…

try to zap our power and take us down.

Why give into these attacks?

Empower yourself to overcome…

by tapping into the power source of God.

What Do You Do When You Are Tempted?

When temptation comes a knocking it is time to look to God. Remind yourself that He is always with you. Look at the temptation that is knocking on the door and then look to God. It is not easy when the attacks come, but it is possible to overcome if you stay plugged into God.

Keep in mind, that we always have the choice to honor God in any situation, or we can choose to dishonor Him; and at the same time disrespect ourselves.

Do You Dwell On Dishonorable Thoughts?

Do not be fooled into believing it is okay to dwell on thoughts that, if acted on, would dishonor God. Put a stop to those dark, negative thoughts right away, before they open the door to trouble. Let honor to God slam the door shut when temptation comes a knocking.

Before the knock ever comes, make a sound decision not to dishonor God and not to disrespect yourself. Never lose sight of Him. Thank God for His mercy and grace when we fall short and need it, but purpose to set your standards higher.

Why Lie to Yourself?

Do not be deceived into thinking you can get away with sin without disrespecting yourself. That is a lie. Why would you want to lie to yourself? Don’t you have enough people lying to you right now? Let’s face it, sin always catches up to us.

So when the temptations come, don’t lie to yourself and think you will get away with acting on them. Instead, challenge yourself with questions. Will God be honored and glorified in me if I do this? What message do I give others if I do this?

Living a Higher Life of Honor

Temptations will come, but you don’t have to open the door. You can choose to live a higher life of honor and show others how to do the same. If you are struggling and already opened the door to temptation, then turn to God. Choose to honor God and He will empower you to slam that door shut.

“God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that you are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that you may be able to bear it.”
– 1 Corinthians 10:13

God knows what we are cable of. When we walk in honor, love, peace, and prosperity, we send a valuable message to others. It brings glory and honor to God when His children live right, claim victory over evil, and use their God-given blessings to bless others.

The truth is: What God has for our future is so much better than anything the enemy may be tempting us with. We can overcome temptation when it comes a knocking and choose to live in God’s best for our lives by honoring Him.

May you live empowered, always honoring the King of kings, and enjoying a life of growing prosperity!

God bless you,
Brenda

How Do Some Continue to Prosper In Tough Economic Times?

Prospering in bad economic times…

makes people take notice.

They will want to know your secret.

And sharing your secret for -

abundant success…

is a great way to be a blessing to others.

Growing Prosperity in Bad Economic Times

Here we are. Economic conditions are bad. Even so, you continue to drive new vehicles, live in better homes, and wear quality clothes. Everybody at work is saying, “What are we gonna do? Gas prices are going up, food prices are increasing, blah, blah, blah.” They moan and complain and bellyache.

You refuse to be a part of that conversation. These conditions do not faze you one bit. People start to take serious notice of that. They begin to approach you and ask, “What is your secret?”

The Secret for Abundant Success in Tough Times

So what is your secret? You tell them your secret is the fact that you got turned on to the truth of the God’s Word; that you got a hold of some powerful principles in His Word and put them to work by faith. The result is manifested blessings in your life.

If we are going to survive in this world and prosper, we need the blessing of the Lord. Unless of course, we plan to try and make it the world’s way; which generally means having to lie, cheat, steal, etcetera. When we use God’s system of prosperity we do not have to do those things.

What Do You Seek First?

Those who walk closely with God are not bothered much by the things going on in the world around them. Others may become more unstable and fearful as things get worse and worse, but those who live according to God’s ways maintain peace and stability.

“Seek first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” 
– Matthew 6:33

God wants us to seek Him first and not be like so many in the world who seek after money and riches. We should seek the way to please God, and seek to be right with Him. When we seek the kingdom of God first, all the other things will be added unto us.

You know what happens when all the other things begin to be added unto us? People begin to take notice. Others will begin to see the blessing of God upon us; and not just the financial abundance of God, but the priceless peace of God.

Get the secret or share the secret. Now get out there and discover God’s system of prosperity. Put it into practice and begin walking in the full blessing of the Lord. If you are already living by His system, and others are standing up and taking notice, then be ready to share your secret for abundant success.

May you seek first the kingdom of God and be blessed with a life of growing prosperity!

Be blessed to be a blessing -

Cheers,
Brenda
