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,

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 Prosper by Overcoming Anxiety with Abundant Favor!
How to Prosper by Overcoming Anxiety with Abundant Favor!
God Gives an Abundance of Favor for Your Confidence to Prosper
Our minds often get conditioned to accept a low level of confidence because of past experiences we’ve had as far back as our childhood. The stresses, pressures and daily attacks on our minds can have us living in fear, anxiety and depression. However, that does not have to be the case.
God’s love and favor heals insecurities and anxieties!
Begin to realize the divine favor you have with God and man and learn how to put it to work in your life. God’s blessing of favor flowing in your life is not based on your background, talents, or anything you have learned. Ephesians 6:24 says that grace is with all those that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Grace means favor you do not deserve.
Start the favor of God flowing in your life by daily confessing what God promises. Then you will see yourself walking in His favor in every area of your life. Speak words of favor over and over during the day until your spirit is revived. When the truth of God’s love and favor get planted into your spirit, it will replace the insecurities and anxieties you have.
Many people confess doubt and failure over and over during their lifetime until their spirit is depressed and broken. Do not be one of those people! Within just a few days you can experience a very dramatic change with God’s abundant favor.
Get started right now with these confessions on favor and confidence:
I am blessed with God’s grace. God pours out on me a river of favor with God and with those around me.
You, Lord bless me with favor and You surround me as with a shield. (Psalm 5:12)
I have the mind of Christ (1 Cor. 2:16)
The Greater One lives in me. Greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world. (1 John 4:4)
I am being filled with God’s fullness. I am being rooted and grounded in love. God is doing exceeding and abundantly above all that I ask or think. His mighty power is taking over in me. (Eph. 3:17-20)
I grow strong in spirit, filled with wisdom, and the grace and favor of God is upon me. (Luke 2:40)
The truth of God’s Word makes me free. (John 8:32)
Thank You, Lord, that I have favor with You and man and people go out of their way to bless me and do good to me today.
Favor flows by standing on the living Word of God in faith. Reject the negative things you have been feeding into your mind. Accept only what the Lord has told you. Repeat the above confessions until doubt disappears.
Learn to walk in God’s favor. It is for you today. Speak favor. Live favor. Be prosperous. Live life expecting something great to happen daily and it will. Remember, with God nothing is impossible. Let His truth take root in you. Favor is God’s promise to every believer from His Word. All you have to do is receive it and prosper.
Enjoy growing prosperity as the favor of God flows in your life!
God bless you,
Brenda
Prosperity Requires Wisdom – Stop Being a Fool and Get Wise
Prosperity Requires Wisdom – Stop Being a Fool and Get Wise
How to Get Wisdom to Make the Right Choices and Prosper
No matter what area of life you want to prosper in, wisdom and knowledge can get the job done. Every successful person avoids the things that will hinder their prosperity. You will determine the level of prosperity in your life by the choices you make on a daily basis. Knowing which choices to make and which ones to avoid requires wisdom.
If you have made foolish choices in the past, you can turn it around today. Today is the day to stop being a fool and get wise! James 1:5 says if you lack wisdom, ask God who gives it generously. So don’t continue to be a fool, but make a wise choice today and ask for the wisdom God is offering for free. Start prospering with the wisdom to make the right choices.
The Wise Builder Prospers
In Matthew 7, Jesus tells the parable about the wise person who built his house upon the rock. Then when the storms came it did not fall. However, the foolish man built his house upon the sand and when the storms of life came, great was the fall of it. Both houses were attacked by storms, but only one stood and continued to prosper.
The wise person takes time to not only hear the Word, BUT DO IT. Knowing the right choice to make is first and then actually doing it is the action required to prosper. Be determined to make wise choices that will put your house on a firm foundation. That way you will not only stand strong in the storms of life, but you will come out prospering.
Confession to Gain Wisdom and Achieve Victory in Life
“Thank You, God, that You warn me of danger and You instruct me in everything that concerns me! You give me practical wisdom and creative ways to prosper in all areas of my life!”
(Based on Proverbs 8:12)
When we are obedient to learn God’s word and put it to work, He can miraculously prosper us in every area. Let God impart explosions of wisdom into you from His Word. Take the time to get wisdom so He can establish in you a strong foundation to prosper and walk out His great plan for your life. Gain the wisdom you need to obtain the prosperous life God intended you to live.
Enjoy growing prosperity in your life as you continue to make wise choices!
God bless you,

Want 5 Keys to Turn Your Trial to Prosperity?
Want 5 Keys to Turn Your Trial to Prosperity?
Make it Through the Storms of Life with 5 Positive Keys
We all face challenges in life. Different trials come at different times for each of us. That is simply part of life. However, when these trials of life come, they are often so overwhelming that it can be hard to see a prosperous future in the midst of the storm.
Financial trials in the form of job loss and huge debt are all too common. Illness and life threatening health issues are a struggle for many. Marriage, relationships and families are falling apart. Tragic accidents and people dealing with crisis in their lives are reported on the news daily.
If you are facing some type of challenge in your life right now, these five keys of trust in God will help take you through the trial.
T – TAKE ONE DAY AT A TIME. In the midst of a storm it is enough just to get through today. So do just that. Live one day at a time and put your focus and energy on what you can do today. Today’s challenges need to be dealt with today. Matthew 6:34 teaches us not to borrow trouble from tomorrow. God’s grace is sufficient to help us overcome whatever trial may occur in our lives today and tomorrow.
R – REMEMBER ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD. People fail many times on the path to a prosperous life. Current trials may be from personal poor choices or from a storm that is just blowing through life. However, God did not create you to fail but to prosper. We are assured in Romans 8:28 that all things work together for good to and for those who love God. Trust Him even in the midst of the storm. He has a good plan and purpose for your life.
U – UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU WORRY! Worry is destructive and will not help your situation. In Matthew chapter six alone, Jesus commands us many times not to worry, but to again trust God. Think of times in the past that God has supplied and helped you overcome a difficult time. Let that encourage you. Know that God is big enough to again provide help for your needs of today.
S – START EVERYDAY WITH PRAYER AND THANKSGIVING. We already read that worry is out and trust in God is in. So how can we take steps to do that? In Philippians 4:6 we are told not to be anxious about anything. But that in everything we are to let our requests be made known to God by specific prayer requests with thanksgiving. Prayer and thanksgiving to God puts our trust in Him. In verse seven it goes on to say that the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding will then guard your heart and mind through Christ Jesus.
T – THE LORD WILL NEVER FORSAKE YOU. It is not uncommon to wonder if God is really going to come through or if He has left the scene. But in Hebrews 13:5 God promises not to fail or leave us. Then in verse six we are told to confidently and boldly say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?”.
Every person alive on this earth is going to continue to go through trials. That’s just life. These storms God allows in our lives are temporary. So take comfort in knowing that no matter what you may be going through, God’s got your best interest in mind. Take His promise to heart. He makes all things work together for your good if you love Him. God wants to fulfill His purpose for you and your trust in Him will take you through the trial and into prosperous times.
Enjoy growing prosperity as you put your trust in God!
Be blessed,
Brenda
P.S. Have you had a time when God helped you through a storm? He is currently helping me as I deal with the challenges of a teenage daughter! If God would have left me during this trial, I know I would not still be standing…but I am still here! :0) Feel free to share and leave a comment below…
