Positive Attitude – How Can Positive Thinking Revolutionize Your Life for Success?
Positive Attitude – How Can Positive Thinking Revolutionize Your Life for Success?
The Power of Positive Thinking
Positive thinking has been promoted as a must have character trait for years.
Many believe in the power of positive thinking…
and many more think it is just a bunch of nonsense.
The kicker is: They are both right!
Positive thinking is related to your beliefs. So the catch is; if you believe it does not work then it won’t. And if you believe it does work, well, then it will.
However, that being said, the main reason it does not work for non-believers is because of their negative belief; they don’t even give it a try. But anyone can get positive results and will tend to become believers of positive thinking once they put it into action.
Norman Vincent Peale once said:
“If you have zest and enthusiasm you attract zest and enthusiasm. Life does give back in kind.”
Once you start to plant seeds of positive thinking, it begins a chain reaction. It encourages those around you and that in turn encourages you.
It is contagious…
When you choose to think positive, you will eventually speak and act positive.
“As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.”
— Proverbs 23:7
If you water and tend to the positive thoughts planted in your mind they begin to grow and take root in your heart. What’s in your heart is the true reflection of who you are.
Keep in mind: There is no harm in living with a positive outlook. But there is great harm in living with a negative outlook.
Just like a joke or a smile can break the tension in a group of people, your positive thoughts have the power to break the tension and discouragement in your life and move you toward success.
Clear the negative thoughts that may be planted in your mind by daily watering the positive ones. Do this by speaking to yourself daily something similar to the following positive affirmation:
“I was intended to express joy and success. I am victory minded. God created me to win out in life. I was born to live life with peace and hope.”
If any of this rings true: Start planting positive seeds of change and watch as the positive vibes you send out result in your own harvest. The fact that you are reading this is a great indication that the seeds of change are already there. Now go start watering your positive attitude.
May your heart be abundantly positive and your life full of growing prosperity!
God bless you –

Prosperous Living – Does God Want You to Prosper and Live in Abundance?
Prosperous Living – Does God Want You to Prosper and Live in Abundance?
Prosperous Living is Within Reach!
Prosperous living is a choice you can make.
If your life is in chaos and a big mess of bills and debt; it probably feels like God does not want you to prosper.
Do not be discouraged: God wants you to be blessed and live in abundance!
Once we grasp the fact that God wants us to prosper, we can begin to turn things around.
God Wants You to Be Prosperous
It is important to know that God wants His children to be blessed. Look at the following message He gave us and you’ll see what I mean.
“Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers.”
— 3 John 2
Think about it: Just like a good father wants to provide for his natural children, our heavenly Father wants to prosper us. He wants us to always have what we need, and yet also be blessed to be a blessing to others.
Get Your Mind Prospering
This was like an undiscovered diamond to me for sure: The amount of prosperity we manifest and enjoy is directly related to how much of the Word of God we have put in our heart (spirit). This starts with filling our mind (soul) with these truths and then as we think and speak them they get planted in our heart.
What’s the explanation for this? The more of these truths we have in our heart, the stronger our beliefs and the greater our faith will be.
And here is where it gets really interesting: The greater our faith, the more we will be able to look to God as the source of our prosperity and tap into His supply.
As a result, we will trust that He will not withhold any good thing from us. He is just waiting for us to get in a position to receive so He can bless us. And it just continues to get better… because when we get blessed, we in turn can be a blessing to others!
No doubt about it: The abundance of God is a never ending supply. God’s greatest desire for His people is that we walk in the fullness of His prosperity. In order for us to prosper we must first be sure our soul is prospering. Soon we will experience the abundance of God and prosperous living.
May your soul prosper and your life be full of growing prosperity!
Be blessed to be a blessing –
Cheers,
Brenda

How to Attract Prosperity and Abundance with 3 Key Steps!
How to Attract Prosperity and Abundance with 3 Key Steps!
Unlock the Door to Unlimited Abundant Supply
Attract prosperity and abundance in your life starting today.
There is no need to have poverty stricken thinking while there is unlimited abundance available to everyone.
The supply is there and already flowing right past your door…
…it rests with you to make the connection that will draw it to you.
Start making the connection today with these three key steps:
#1) SEEK THE SOURCE
God is the source of all supply. We need the power of God to gain wealth and prosper. Without Him the results we get on our own will be limited and half the time they will result in a mess.
We are told when the Lord makes a person rich He adds no sorrow to it. If we acknowledge God in our lives and seek Him, then He will direct our paths.
“Those that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing.” — Psalm 34:10
#2) THINK ABUNDANT
The law of abundance and prosperity is as definite as the law of gravity. If you are not attracting the abundance you desire, you are most likely still under the mental bondage of limited poverty thinking. However, remember, there is no limitation in Him in whom all fullness lies.
“As a man thinks in his heart so is he.” — Proverbs 23:7
Think prosperous and allow yourself to believe and have confidence in God. You can flood your life with all good things when you have magnetizing faith to tap into the abundance flowing by you.
#3) STAY DETERMINED
You must DO everything to the finish and not quit!
You must believe you will prosper and you must practice what you believe, in order to get results. You must fling your energy into the work needed to reach your goals. Continue to maintain the right mental attitude, with a determination to turn your back on poverty and face toward the abundant life you desire.
You are a child of God, the creator and possessor of all things. His desire is that you prosper. So open your mind to the abundant current of supply He has provided for you.
Believe me: God knows not only what you need in your life, He knows how to help you attract it. Acknowledge Him daily. Let God do His part and you do your part. Then watch as you are blessed to be a blessing to others and attract prosperity and abundance.
May you continue to experience a life of growing prosperity!

How to Maximize the Ruling Force that Manifests Prosperity!
How to Maximize the Ruling Force that Manifests Prosperity!
Seize Your Abundant Rich Living Yet?
Abundant rich living sounds wonderful doesn’t it?
Are you seizing what has been made available to live your dream life?
When we think of a prosperous life, the details are unique for each of us. Yet usually the basics are common across the board.
What comes to your mind when you think of the dream life you desire?
Do you want loving, meaningful relationships? How about happiness, peace, and a slower, stress free pace; to be able to enjoy the everyday life? Does a closer walk with God and strong spiritual growth sound good? What about improved living conditions, a better car, and more money in the bank; the ability to give more to others. And of course we all want to be physically and mentally healthy.
What is the Ruling Force Affecting Your Life?
The spiritual law of confession: Few people realize that the spiritual law of confession rules us. I’m referring to the things we speak, talk about, say, and confess every day.
Regardless of who we are, we’ll never rise above our confessions. And here is where it gets really interesting: We all get to choose the confessions of our mouth. It is our choice.
“You are snared (trapped) with the words of your mouth.” – Proverbs 6:2
How Do You Maximize this Ruling Force and Manifest Prosperity?
Confess what you believe in your heart: The key to maximizing this force is realizing the power is in confessing what we believe in our heart, not our head.
Jesus tells us we can have anything we SAY as long as we believe in our HEART (spirit) and CONFESS it with our mouth. (Mark 11:23)
Having a head full of beliefs and knowledge is like having a bag full of seeds. They both hold a great untapped potential harvest. However, we will not reap a harvest in life without planting the seeds.
To manifest results, the head knowledge we have must be planted in our heart and applied to our lives.
How do we get the knowledge that is in our heads planted in our hearts?
Again the answer is that we must speak it – confess it.
Speak out loud the thoughts and beliefs you wish to manifest. There is great, often overlooked power, in the spoken word.
Keep in mind: at first we may only be speaking head knowledge. We may only understand or believe something to be true in our mind. But the real power is in confessing what we want so it gets planted in our heart and we in turn believe it in our heart.
The good news is that when we continue to confess, what we now believe in our heart (spirit), we will begin to see the manifestation of those beliefs in our life.
“Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.” – Luke 6:45
A word of warning: The spiritual law of confession works for both good and bad. So only confess positive if you want to reap positive results. If you are like me, this can be a challenge at times, but one worth conquering.
There is a reason Jesus put such a great emphasis on the fact that we can have what we say, speak, and confess with our mouth and believe in our heart. The same steps we take to receive eternal salvation in Christ; believe with our heart and confess with our mouth, are the same steps we take to manifest prosperity and abundance in all areas of life.
Hopefully by now you are convinced: There are many benefits to mastering our confessions and tapping into the power of the spoken word. It plays a vital role in every area of our lives. Start today. Choose carefully the words you allow your mouth to speak. Maximize this powerful force that can manifest prosperity and begin to seize the abundant rich life.
May your confessions reflect truth from the Word of God and manifest growing prosperity!
Be blessed to be a blessing –

Abundant Prosperity – What Kind of Faith Delivers the Goods?
Abundant Prosperity – What Kind of Faith Delivers the Goods?
Discover the Faith Needed to Manifest Abundance!
Abundant prosperity requires living by the right kind of faith.
It is through faith that we touch the very source of life.
If we could measure a man’s faith we could come very near to predicting accurately the measure of his success in life.
TWO KINDS OF FAITH
There is a specific kind of faith that will deliver the abundant goods for a prosperous life. The kind of faith required is heart faith.
BELIEVING WITH YOUR HEAD FAITH
First let’s talk about the kind of faith that does NOT deliver the goods – head faith.
Chances are; you’ve heard of this type of faith found in a man often referred to as ‘Doubting Thomas’. Thomas did not believe the other disciples when they said they saw the Lord. Thomas only believed after he himself saw Jesus. Jesus said blessed are those that have NOT seen, and yet believed. (You can read this account in John chapter twenty of the Bible.)
The point is: head faith only believes what it can see and feel and is based on mental reasoning.
BELIEVING WITH YOUR HEART FAITH
Heart faith is what delivers the goods.
Heart faith believes regardless of what it sees and in spite of circumstances.
No wonder Abraham is a primary example of someone whose faith was of the heart. In Romans chapter four it says Abraham believed in what was spoken even though he couldn’t see it. He didn’t consider the present situation in unbelief, but was strong in faith and fully persuaded.
What happens when you have real faith of the heart? Faith in your heart produces results.
By the way, it’s no surprise that a lot of people struggle with the fact they have doubt in their minds. But I want to point out that you can still get results even when you have some doubts in your mind.
We are bombarded with thoughts constantly. However, it is the ones we choose to meditate and focus on that get into our heart.
Jesus said we can have what we Say if we do not doubt in our Heart. (Mark 11:23) And then Proverbs 3:5 tells us to trust the Lord with all our Heart, and lean not on our own understanding (thoughts and feelings).
The simple fact of the matter is this: True faith is of the heart and not the head. What is in the heart of our being is who we are and what we become.
“As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” — Proverbs 23:7
Faith comes by hearing the Word of God. So take time to listen to the Word in the area you believe to receive.
Doesn’t it make sense to harness this dynamic heart faith and produce abundant prosperity in your life? Now you can. And confessing and speaking powerful verses and phrases from the Word of God is one of the most effective ways to get the ball rolling and attract abundance.
May you live by heart faith and continue to experience growing prosperity!

I Will Cry Unto GOD Most High – Psalm 57
I Will Cry Unto GOD Most High – Psalm 57
“I will cry unto God most high:
unto God that performs all things for me.
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let your glory be above all the earth.
My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed:
I will sing and give You praise.
I will praise You, O Lord, among the people:
I will sing unto You among the nations.
For your mercy is great unto the heavens,
and your truth unto the clouds.
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens:
let your glory be above all the earth.”
— Psalm 57:2,5,7,9-11

Growing Prosperity – Why Do the Wicked Prosper While the Godly Suffer Lack?
Growing Prosperity – Why Do the Wicked Prosper While the Godly Suffer Lack?
Put Yourself On The Road to Growing Prosperity!
What profit is there in serving God? This is not a new question. People have been asking this for thousands of years.
When challenging times come, unfortunately God often gets the blame. Are you going to be found guilty of bad mouthing God when trouble comes your way?
I know I have had to repent for this. I also know that while I was busy feeling sorry for myself and questioning God, my situation only grew worse.
Once I decided to adjust the attitude of my heart, stand steadfast, renew my faith in the Word of God, and cry out to Him for help, things started to improve.
How’s the Attitude of Your Heart?
We really need to take inventory of our own lives, especially the condition of our heart, before we dare even think to step out in arrogance and pride to judge God; which we should never do.
Look at some of the people complaining about not prospering back in the book of Malachi. They were found speaking harshly against God; claiming to obey His law and yet failing to profit, but saying the wicked disobey and prosper.
The people said they were obeying God’s laws. Yet were they really?
If we take a look, we see they would go through the motion of what was required, but it was not out of love and honor for God with the right heart attitude. For instance, if they did give their tithes and offerings it was not the first and the best; it was the unwanted, rotten and moldy.
Their giving was not with a cheerful, thankful heart out of love, honor, and respect to God; who all provision comes from in the first place. They were just going through the motion.
God is after your heart. Where’s yours?
It may look by the appearance of some people, as if they have it all together and are prospering, even though they are living a sinful life and don’t honor God. A certain measure of success can be reached by following natural laws, however, without God it is impossible to truly prosper.
You Qualify for Prosperity
You have the opportunity to experience a full and complete life with God and prosper in every area. He wants you to experience an abundance of life on earth and in Heaven. In Matthew 6:10 Jesus told us to pray “Thy kingdom come, thy will be done in earth, as it is in Heaven.” There is no poverty in heaven.
God’s will is that all his children prosper spiritually, physically, and financially.
“Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers.” – 3 John 2
The abundant prosperity of God comes to those who obey His commandments. As long as your heart is right, God doesn’t have a problem with blessing you. If you have greed in your heart or poverty thinking in your mind, let God clean it out.
Renew your mind to God’s Word concerning prosperity and let Him reveal the mystery of sowing and reaping. God gives you the ability to gain wealth so that you can help establish His covenant.
Get your heart, thoughts, words, and actions lined up with the Word of God.
A Special Book in Heaven
In Malachi we also see the Lord make a book of remembrance for those who fear Him and who meditate on His name. He then reminds us that there is a day coming, that the righteous will be lifted up as jewels, and the proud and wicked will be put down.
Serving God brings rewards in this lifetime and in heaven.
Don’t let yourself get distracted with what the unjust are doing. Stand steadfast and don’t give up, because your labor is not in vain.
Prosperity comes through faith and patience. Don’t throw in the towel just because your prosperity has not yet fully manifested or because trials come your way. Adjust your life as needed as you continue moving forward.
The bottom line is this: We’ll never know all the answers in this lifetime, but we know enough to keep us busy a lifetime. It takes faith to please God and the just live by faith. They don’t just ‘try-it-out’. So now go get busy doing what God says, because my Bible says if you do, blessings will come on you and overtake you.
May your heart chase after the things of God and your life be full of growing prosperity!
Be blessed to be a blessing,
Brenda
