Prosperous Thoughts – 7 Things to be Mindful of to Help Manifest Abundance!
Prosperous Thoughts – 7 Things to be Mindful of to Help Manifest Abundance!
Change Defeating Thoughts to Prosperous Thoughts
Prosperous thoughts help
manifest prosperous living.
No doubt: successful individuals do not
reach their goals by filling their minds with
thoughts of failure and defeat.
Overcoming the challenges and obstacles,
on the road to abundance, requires a determination to succeed and a positive mindset.
“We demagnetize ourselves by wrong thinking and lack of faith…We see only the obstacles in our path, and forget that man, working with God, is greater than any obstacle that can oppose itself to his will.”
— Orison Swett Marden
7 Things to be Mindful of to Help Manifest Abundance:
1. Question Self-Limitations
Question why you limit yourself from reaching your potential. Are you simply afraid of what others will think if you don’t succeed at your first attempt? Do not put a limit on your potential and abilities. If you continually say “I can’t” then you won’t even try. Instead ask “How can I?”
2. Question Limitations From Others
Why accept the limitations others put on you? People enjoy telling us what we can and cannot do. Don’t fall into the trap of filling your mind with other people’s limitations.
3. Monitor Everyday Thoughts
Turn on the mental radar, because even the most well intentioned person will find negative, defeating thoughts try to sneak in under the radar. To often we begin to affirm those negative thoughts without even realizing it.
4. Reprogram Negative Attacks
A passionate dream that you desire to accomplish is hard to keep to yourself. It is normal to want to share your ambition with others, but also way too common to have others ridicule you about it. Learn to quickly reprogram the negative attacks and laugh it off when others laugh at you!
5. Visualize Your Abundance
Keep a visual image constantly in your mind of the goals you desire to manifest. Place pictures and notes up around your living and workspace that positively affirm a mental image of your desired goals.
6. Renew Your Mind Daily
Renew your thought life daily like a mental bath. Keep your thoughts positive, clean, and empowering. The most empowering way to renew your mind is with the Word of God and filling it with who He says you are and what you can do.
7. Turn Thought Habits Into Action Habits
Continue to be mindful of your thought life until positive, productive, prosperous thoughts are a habit. Once they become habit, you’ll find that positive, productive, prosperous actions follow. As these actions become a habit, you’ll automatically move toward a prosperous life.
Final thoughts: Regardless of all the negative thoughts currently filling your mind, it is possible to change those thoughts to the better and become prosperous. Begin today to start making some positive changes to your thinking and soon positive changes will manifest in your behavior and your life!
May your mind be filled with prosperous thoughts and your life be filled with growing prosperity!
Be Blessed to be a Blessing!

Will Christian Meditation Benefit My Life Long-term or Short-term Only?
Will Christian Meditation Benefit My Life Long-term or Short-term Only?
Know What to Expect from Christian Meditation
Christian meditation is meant to be…
a daily habit in every believer’s life.
Through meditating on God’s Word
we gain understanding, knowledge, and wisdom to live a successful and prosperous life.
Christian Meditation Short-term Benefits
The Word of God provides nourishment to our spirit, soul, and body. Just as one meal of food will not nourish and sustain us long-term, neither will one session of meditation on biblical truths.
Give us this day our daily bread. Why? Because God wants us to seek Him and walk with Him daily. If He gave us our monthly bread, think how many of us might wait until the next month to seek Him!
Meditation on God’s Word is a way to draw us closer to the Lord and strengthen our relationship with Him. We would not expect to continually know a person better after spending time with them only once.
Faith also comes from hearing the Word of God. But faith does not continue to grow from hearing only once. Take a look at the following verse and you will notice it says “hearing and hearing.” This is an ongoing process.
“Faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God.”
— Romans 10:17
The world we live in is busy and chaotic and constantly bombarding us with negative thoughts and images everywhere we go. Do you think this is a surprise to God? Of course not; He warns us not to be conformed to this world. This requires renewing our mind daily with God’s Word. (Romans 12:2)
Christian Meditation Long-term Benefits
Now that you understand the importance and need for daily meditation, and that the benefits are primarily short-term; let’s take a look at long-term results.
The Bible is the divine Word of God. It is living and powerful. (Hebrews 4:12) The scriptures are also full of “suddenly” verses. Meditating daily on His source of divine, living, power, sets us up for a suddenly.
Your life can change in a flash when the “suddenly” hits and the eyes of your understanding are opened. A transformation can take place in an instant that lasts a lifetime.
God also rewards obedience. And meditation on His Word is a commandment for all believers. Obedience to the things of God should be at the heart of every believer. The result is the manifestation of many blessings in our life on earth.
The ultimate long-term benefit, of obedience to God, is eternal rewards in heaven. (2 Corinthians 5:10)
Whichever way you want it: Christian meditation practiced out of a love and obedience for God has the power to benefit your life short-term and long-term; even eternally.
Why not commit to making meditation on God’s Word a priority in your life?
God bless you,
Brenda
Yes, You Can Thrive and Live a Long Abundant and Prosperous Life!
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!

Expect Abundance – How to Use Expectation to Trigger the Law of Attraction!
Expect Abundance – How to Use Expectation to Trigger the Law of Attraction!
Increase the Flow of Wealth Into Your Material World
Expecting abundance is a powerful force.
What are you doing to generate increase?
Wealth will not come into your material world…
until you first expectantly visualize the wealth in your mind.
But what does that really mean?
Prospering Internally
Before we can begin to overcome the poverty surrounding us in our external world, we need to claim victory over the impoverishment buried deep within ourselves. Prosperity begins with an inward awareness that an unlimited supply abounds within the spiritual realm all around us.
“It’s almost as if there is an invisible reservoir of abundance in the universe that can be tapped if you will just obey certain spiritual laws.”
— Norman Vincent Peale
It is impossible to feel poor with an understanding and consciousness of being surrounded by the infinite God of the universe; a God that never lacks. The lack that we experience in life is simply caused from our own limited awareness.
The Light Bulb Story
There is a story told of a poor couple that moves into a small village and is astonished to discover their new home is lighted by electricity. They had no prior experience with the power and force of electricity and they never saw an electric light before.
After several months, the couple adjusts to this new found discovery when a salesman stops by and recommends they upgrade their 8 watt bulbs with 60 watt bulbs; to better meet their needs. Once the new bulb is plugged in, the entire room is illuminated.
The couple never imagined, in their wildest dreams that the source of this new flood of magnificent light had been there all the time. They didn’t know this abundant increase of light could come from the same current that was feeding their 8 watt bulb.
Plugging Into Abundance with Expectation
The truth is; most of us are even less aware of the power available to us than this couple was of the electric power current. We never dream that the infinite, abundant, current which surrounds us could flood our lives with light more magnificent than the most powerful light bulb.
In order to experience increase we need to plug a larger, more prosperous, expectant idea into the current of the infinite abundance of God. Unfortunately though, most of us strangle our supply with negative energized thoughts of doubt, fear, and poverty; which only cutoff the inflow of prosperity.
Now is the time to change that negative, habitual, pattern of thinking. Remember, the stream of plenty flows toward the expectant mind. We must live by faith expecting to receive.
Firmly establish the desired goal in your mind and live expectant. Expect good things to happen. Expect to be blessed. Imagine already being in possession of wealth and develop the prosperity you seek in your mind first. Know where you are and where you are going; and expect to get there!
Allow your expectation to trigger the attractive force that will help move your desired goals in your direction.
“As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.”
— Proverbs 23:7
Let the law of attraction help manifest your prosperous thoughts.
Remember: As you think means the innermost thoughts of your heart; which you control. That is what you expect, what you attract, and what you will ultimately receive.
May you live by faith, expecting to attract a life of growing prosperity!

Growing Prosperity – Why on Earth Does God Want to Prosper Us?
Growing Prosperity – Why on Earth Does God Want to Prosper Us?
A Look at the Purpose Behind Our Prosperity
Growing prosperity is something most people seek after in life.
It is good to know God wants to prosper us…
but why on earth does He want to?
We should understand the purpose behind our prosperity.
This is important today…
more than ever before…
so let’s take a look.
Why God Prospers Us
Is it so we can watch our favorite shows on the big screen, in the ultimate personal home-theater room? Is it so we can wear the finest of clothes and shop in elite boutiques? Is it so we can eat the best, drive the best, and live in a huge home?
There is nothing wrong with enjoying nice things, but is that why God prospers us?
“God gives you power to get wealth; that He may establish His covenant.”
— Deuteronomy 8:18
Everything in the universe belongs to God. We simply manage what we’ve been blessed with. And God expects us to keep and use some of this abundance in our own lives. We should care for our families and prosper.
Yet, the desire to prosper should not come from a love for money or with a motive to greedily hoard it up. Our primary concern should be to extend and promote the Kingdom of God on earth.
God gives us power to get wealth, so that His covenant may be established and spread to all the people on earth. The gift of salvation is free, but frankly it takes money to send the good news throughout the earth for everyone to hear.
Blessed to Be a Blessing
Take a look around and it is quite obvious there are plenty of people in need. How can you be a blessing to the less fortunate if you are struggling in your own lack?
God wants us to be blessed to be a blessing. He is able to make all grace abound toward us so that we are always sufficient in all things – so that we can abound to every good work. (2 Corinthians 9:8)
The goodness of God, which is shown by our kindness and generosity toward others, also leads men to repentance. (Romans 2:4)
And the kicker is: As we purpose to be a channel of God’s blessing to others, He will continue to send greater blessings to us.
The truth is: We should enjoy growing prosperity! The ability to gain wealth and prosper is God’s gift to us. It is a gift we are meant to enjoy in life, but also share with others.
May you use your God given power, to get wealth, to establish His covenant on earth and enjoy a life of growing prosperity!
God bless you –
Cheers,
Brenda

What Is Christian Meditation And Why Is It Vital For You To Know?
What Is Christian Meditation And Why Is It Vital For You To Know?
A Look Into Christian Meditation
Christian meditation is based on God’s Word: The Bible.
There are various techniques, methods, and ways to meditate.
The important thing, as a believer, is to understand what it is and how this powerful practice transforms lives.
The truth is: A key to a successful and prosperous life is discovering what Christian meditation is and making it a daily habit in life.
Christian Meditation Defined
To meditate is to ponder, think deeply, affirm, contemplate, think over, muse, reflect, speculate, memorize, confess, pray, recite, sing, speak, and practice focused study on the Word of God.
The Bible says that those who delight in the law of the Lord, and in His law meditate day and night, they are blessed. (Psalm 1:1-2).
Meditation is sometimes referred to as our spiritual digestive system; which breaks down the Word of God and digests it in our spirit.
“Your words were found, and I did eat them; and your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart: for I am called by your name, O LORD God of hosts.”
— Jeremiah 15:16
Meditate on the Word of God by taking it in and chewing on it over and over. Consider it part of your daily nutrition, just as you do your regular meals. You might know that a meal is full of vital nutrients. You might be able to see and smell that it is good. However, it is quite obvious that the food will not nourish and benefit your life until you consume it and eat it.
Christian Meditation in Action
Christian meditation involves the process of actively thinking on scriptures. We give ourselves to the study of the Word by immersing ourselves in it in various ways. It also involves praying over it and asking God to give us understanding by His Spirit; who promised to lead us in all truth.
“The Spirit of truth will guide you in all truth.”
— John 16:13
Following the discovery and understanding of these truths, we are to put them into action in our lives. A commitment is made to make the things of God our standard for daily living.
Meditate on the Word of God until it becomes more real to you than anything else. Begin to make the power of meditation a daily habit. Then act on the truths revealed by the Holy Spirit. This will cause spiritual growth in your life and bring success.
Real knowledge, revelation, and success in life come from the habit of meditating on God’s Word.
No doubt about it: God places a great emphasis on His Word. Scripture tells us that He sustains everything by His Word. So as Christian believers, we should also place a great emphasis on it and daily meditate on the life transforming power of God’s Word.
Are you ready to make Christian meditation a priority in your life?
God bless you,
Brenda

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 –

Get Rid of Poverty for Good! What Do You Think?
Get Rid of Poverty for Good! What Do You Think?
Discover How to Clean Up Your Thinking and Attract Your Desired Abundant Life!
Attracting the desired abundant life and eliminating poverty requires getting the right thinking cap put on.
If your thinking is always unclear and fuzzy, don’t expect to receive anything.
You need to do some mental house cleaning if you want to live the good life!
Let’s dive in and get to work cleaning up our thinker.
Get a Clear Mental Picture
Before we can attract what it is we desire, we must first get very clear and specific on what it is we want.
As with anything, we can’t communicate it until we are clear on what we want to communicate. And if we want to get the desired results, we have to be specific.
Simply letting someone know we are hungry won’t result in getting a specific, desired meal on the table.
Keep Your Mind Focused
Once we are clear on the desired result, then we need to meditate on it and bring it to life. Meditate on it by speaking and thinking about it often.
As often as possible we must give attention to what we believe will come to pass and claim it by faith as if it is already here. Back up the desired vision with purpose and create a magnetic power to attract it.
In fact, the greater your desire, the easier it is to overcome mental laziness. An occasional wishing and dreaming is NOT going to produce results.
Think and speak daily, with unshakable faith that you will attain your desired result.
How would you act if your desire was already manifested?
Act and live by faith as if your prosperous life is already here. Enjoy mental ownership, with unwavering faith, until you have actual ownership of it in the natural.
Do You Think You Can?
He can who thinks he can, and he can’t who thinks he can’t.
No one can advance further than his faith in God, himself, and his purpose. Faith puts you in touch with God and with God nothing is impossible.
Even when others cry “Impossible!” you can, by faith, get rid of poverty and attract prosperity.
The bottom line is this: Get your thinking clear, stay focused, and have faith that your desired abundant life is on the way. Get your words lined up with your thoughts and watch as they attract your prosperity.
May you adjust your thinking as needed and experience a life of growing prosperity!
Be blessed to be a blessing –
God bless you,
Brenda
P.S. I’ve experienced the power of this work in my life and I’ve also seen the results stop when I waver. How do you keep your thoughts and words lined up on a daily basis on what you believe to manifest?
