What we say must stay in line with what God says. Faith speaks words of hope; not fear or doubt. Speak faith-filled words. Guard against speaking negatively. Don’t speak what you see in the natural realm. Speak what you see in the Word of God. You cannot speak out what is not put in. This…
Just because doubt enters our mind does not mean we should let it out of our mouth. What we say must stay in line with what God says. Step 1: Understand you get what you speak! Proverbs 18:21 “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat…

Is what we feel or what we think more important? Do our emotions control our thinking or do our thoughts control our emotions? Is anxiety, worry, fear or hate an emotion or a thought? Is love, joy, peace an emotion or a thought? Proverbs 12:25 “Anxiety in the heart of man…

In review, what problem or circumstance are you facing? If you don’t know your problem, then you certainly don’t know the answer. You don’t have a health problem. You don’t have a financial problem.

We are to bear much fruit, but what exactly does that fruit look like? John 15:5-8 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out…
Too often, we try to do things on our own. Yes, we will pray and ask God to do something but if He doesn’t answer us immediately, we try to solve the problem ourselves. John 15:5-8 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much…
What is your mental image of yourself? How do you see yourself? Do you see yourself sick, weak, broke, poor, old with wrinkles? “Well, yea… that’s what I see in the mirror.” But that is not the real you (your spirit), it’s only a reflection. You have never seen your own face with your own…

Stewards are not owners but managers. Once this is realized, it will change our attitude toward money. Prosperity is not greed. In fact, it is greed that keeps people from receiving teachings on prosperity. 1 Corinthians 4:2 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. (KJV) Steward = Greek oikonomos (oy-kon-om’-os)…
