Your Future Prosperity Lies In The Present Confines Of Your Mind

“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.”
3 John 1:2 (NKJV)

JUNE 20 - Prosperity has more to do with your mind than with your pocketbook.

  • Do you believe God wants you to prosper?
  • Do you believe prosperity is your right as a believer?
  • Or do you believe God wants people to be poor and needy?

Whatever you believe is evident in your life. Let me explain. People hold many beliefs about life intransigently formed by past experiences and rigidly directed by various people. After years of sustained
thought, those viewpoints become beliefs that govern and ultimately control your life. You and I are stringently governed by the core beliefs we hold. We act in accordance to what we truly believe, not just what we say we believe. If we believe God wants us poor, or that poverty is our destiny, life proves that for us. But if we believe God wants us blessed, life proves this to us as well.

We are a living prophecy of what we believe. What do you believe? Whatever it is, it just might be the very thing that precludes God’s blessings from your life. The Israelites believed they were grasshoppers in the sight of the giants and therefore never seized the Promised Land. Your future prosperity lies in the present confines of your mind. Believe and receive what God has for you.

Daily Confession

Father, I thank You that above all things I prosper and walk in health even as my soul prospers.

Spiritual Checkup Pack- CD

What is the ultimate prize that this world has to offer? The Nobel Peace Prize? An Oscar? A Super Bowl ring? A lucrative recording contract?

Certainly you can find all types of contests in which to compete and a host of valuable prizes to covet in today’s society. Are you equipped to win the prize and obtain the goal? In this package, Dr. Robb Thompson explains to you how to win the ultimate prize of life – the heart of your Heavenly Father.

Using illustrations from the lives of Biblical men and women, Dr. Thompson vividly portrays what it means to be a person after God’s own heart and how to do the necessary examining of your own heart in the process. He tackles the all-important topics of submission and covenant loyalty – scriptural concepts that are frequently shunned and swept under the collective rug in Christendom today.

As Dr. Thompson so succinctly asks, “What else do you have in life, if you don’t have the heart of the Father?” That’s a question only you can answer for yourself. Pursue the prize of your Father’s heart, and watch everything else in your life fall into place (Matthew 6:33).

For Enjoyment Sake, People Of This World Choose Conformation, While Those Who Believe In God Choose Transformation

“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”
Romans 12:2 (NKJV)

JUNE 9 - Marked by peculiarities of dress, ritualistic religious practice, and strict regulations, the most significant Jewish spiritual faction in the time of Christ was, by far, the Pharisees. Their name means “the separated ones,” and held an assumed allegiance to God within the minds of the Jews at Christ’s birth. However, with the advent of the Messiah, could these minds be transformed? Your mind can only hold one thought at a time. Therefore, the easiest way to get rid of negative thoughts is to replace them with positive thoughts. The most effective way to do this is with your spoken words.

Your mind must entertain what your mouth says. The mind is never empty; it is always occupied with a thought. Spoken words override unspoken thoughts. By substituting your thoughts, you can replace troubling thoughts with a God-thought that has the power to transform your life.

You can’t be filled with nagging fear, superfluous doubt, and increased worry when you constantly meditate upon God’s Word. As long as you don’t allow negative thoughts to be planted into your mind, you’ll discover true peace, joy, and happiness. The transformation of your life is distinctly linked to your avid commitment to change the way you think.

Daily Confession

Father, I thank You that I am not conformed to this world but I am transformed by the renewing of my mind. My mind is renewed by Your Word.

Transformation Is The Result Of A Consistent Pursuit of Excellence

“Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 3:13-14 (NKJV)

MAY 17 - They’re open, 24/7—all-night gas stations, round-the-clock supermarkets, year-round  pharmacies. As believers, doesn’t God also call us to faithfully press forward, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week? Many believers are content to stay as ordinary as battery-run wall clocks, only enjoying fleeting moments of greatness, without ever living a fantastic life.

The common visit excellence momentarily, although in their minds, they think they do great all the time. They always think about the nice things they did last week or last month. At the same time, they wonder why they annually wait in vain for someone to finally recognize their vast achievements. But what they don’t realize is that their pride and their refusal of correction make them utterly unapproachable.

This is a sad observation, but it still stands true—there is absolutely no advancement or promotion without embracing correction. Without embracing the correction and modification that Captain Wingate made in Moshe Dayan’s military life, certain battles might have never been won, and where would Israel be today?

Remember, none of us are perfect. Every one of us has imperfections we must face. However, as long as we continue to pursue excellence, we are headed in the direction that will consistently make us more like Jesus.

Daily Confession

Father, I thank You that I always choose to bow my knee to Your Word. I am a self-corrector therefore I prove my character to be authentic.

Understanding Is The Reward Awaiting Those Who Meditate On God’s Word

“I have more understanding than all my teachers,
for Your testimonies are my meditation.”

Psalm 119:99 (NKJV)

APRIL 15 - Just as the correct numbers release the combination to the bank vault’s safe, understanding unlocks the very life of God. Understanding is the ability to see life as God sees it. Very few people ever draw close to walking in the fullness of what God has for them because they lack understanding. Without it, one cannot fully embrace the truth of God’s Word. We see throughout all of Scripture the worthy emphasis placed on meditation of the words of God.

During the era of great prophets such as Ezra and Nehemiah, Hebrew teachers were advised to not only teach their given subjects, but to closely ponder (or meditate upon) the temperaments of the various
students they instructed. These teachers were further exhorted to not just read words to their pupils, but to have an understanding, a thorough insight into the spirits and souls of what was happening inside each boy and girl. It is the same with many individuals who routinely read and study the Bible, yet they are not changed by the information they read.

Although the Bible contains the words of God, it only becomes real when we choose to meditate upon it. This does not refer to a type of eastern religious practice; this refers to one’s daily hearing, pondering, and confession of the Scripture. If we take just one Scripture, run it through our minds, and put it in our mouths, it will come alive inside, producing more change than reading the entire New Testament would. And just as the ancient Hebrew teachers were instructed to meditate upon their students for success in the classroom,
scripture meditation is vital to your success as a believer.

Daily Confession

Father, I thank You that as I meditate upon Your Word, understanding rises within me.

God’s Timing Is Destroyed By The Deadly Enemy Of Doubt

“That you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those
who through faith and patience inherit the promises.”
Hebrews 6:12 (NAS)

FEBRUARY 8 -Why would anyone doubt God? Since the beginning of time, Satan has attempted to convince us that God is not going to come through for us. God told us what was going to happen, He just never told us when. God’s timing is right no matter when. We live in a world run by the economy of evil, but God gave us the power and authority to live above the world’s system. He gave us His Word so we can walk by faith, and not by sight.

Matthew 11:12 fervently states, “And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of Heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force.” That is exactly what we must do. The reason we are called to take God’s kingdom is because Satan is attempting to steal it away from us. The enemy tries to stop anyone from taking the kingdom. He erects roadblocks and sends every demon and lie to you daily about how God is not going to come through by keeping His own promises. At that point, many lose heart and never receive what God faithfully guaranteed.

We must stand strong and continue to press in and believe God, knowing that He is not a man that would lie, but what He said, He will do. Through faith and patience, we will receive what is promised.

Father, I thank You that I am full of faith and I am patient. I receive what is promised, for You are not slack concerning Your promise.

The Transformation Of One’s Life Is In Direct Proportion To The Alteration Of One’s Mind

“Do not copy the behavior and customs of this world,
but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.”

Romans 12:2 (NLT)

FEBRUARY 6TH - One of my passions in life is to see others on a continual upward swing of transformation. It hurts me to see people in church hear the Word for many years on end and be no different from the day they stepped foot through the church doors. God did not design life for stagnation. Nothing living stagnates; it continually transforms from season to season or ultimately dies.

Shouldn’t we be the same? If you cannot look back on your life six months ago, or even one year ago, and see any growth, you should examine yourself as to why there hasn’t been any progress. We are to go from glory to glory.

One of the reasons God birthed the message of excellence into my heart is because excellence causes a person to pursue change. Jesus does not allow an individual to stay the same, just as He doesn’t allow the landscape to languish. I have heard it said like this, “God loves you just the way you are, but He wants you to be like Jesus.” Isn’t it interesting that when God welcomed you into His family, He said, “Now you must die and Christ must live through you.” It is not that God doesn’t love us. Remember, transformation of your life is in direct proportion to the alteration of your mind.

Daily Confession

Father, I thank You that my mind is continually renewed by Your Word. I desire
transformation, and I understand that transformation only comes through mind
alteration. I choose to alter my mind in accordance with Your Word.

You Can Never Discover Your New Identity While Gazing At The Old One

“I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live,
but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith
in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”

Galatians 2:20 (NKJV)

FEBRUARY 3 - Ah, the unmatched excitement of moving into a new house—the feel of new carpeting beneath your feet, the scent of fresh oak lingering in the air, and the sight of unmarred walls, just waiting to be decorated – by you. No matter what memories your old environment holds, your full concentration now lies upon this wonderful new dwelling. Knowing that your old self no longer exists is the foundational truth that gives you not only the understanding, but also the confidence that your future is going to marvelously exceed your past. Understanding who you are in Christ is the foundation of your Christian life, helping you better identify which thoughts are God’s, and which thoughts are not. Understanding and embracing this new identity protects you from past issues that often hinder your current progress.

People constantly say to me, “You know, I read the Bible, I pray, I go to church, and I witness to people about the Lord. So why does it seem like whenever the pressure is on, I resort to my old ways?”

The answer to that question is simple: you haven’t yet come to understand who Jesus created you to be and what He did for you through His death and resurrection. In order to successfully withstand the pressures of this world and renovate your mind according to the new life that is yours in Christ, you must understand righteousness — the ability to live continually in right standing with God. You are the righteousness of Christ. You have a bright future in store. Embrace your new identity, just as you would that new house, and you’ll soon enjoy the promise land that God is building especially for you.

Father, I thank You that I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live but Christ lives in me; and now I live by faith in the Son of God who gave His life for me.

Transformation Is The Finished Product Of Embracing God’s Thoughts

“Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let
God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.
Then you will know what God wants you to do, and you will know how
good and pleasing and perfect His will really is.”

Romans 12:2 (NLT)

JANUARY 5 - Someone had an idea—and its concept is transforming the way corporate employees do business. In an effort to achieve the highest standard of health, a number of top U.S. business people voluntarily joined running teams. Instead of stepping foot into gourmet restaurants, adding on unwanted pounds, those same feet are now adorned with trendy athletic shoes. The result is noteworthy; not only are these folks improving their bodies, their bottom lines have benefited as well, since networking among these teams has proven enormously profitable. It all began with one transforming thought.

The practice of mind renewal is one that Christians must never overlook. All of us desire to be successful in life, because God deposited within us a longing for more and an intense passion for growth. We have an inherent desire for improvement. But we must understand that we do not attract what we want; we attract who we are. God gave us an avenue through which we can become the person who will attract the very things we desire.

By using God’s Word to renew our minds, He gave us the ability to effectively transform our lives. Transformation belongs only to those who pursue it, working diligently to achieve it. We are not transformed over night; it is a process that very few are patient enough to endure. God tells us, “…be transformed by the renewing of your mind…” As we embrace the thoughts of God, transformation is the result.

Daily Confession

Father, I thank You that I no longer live or think like the world.
I am transformed because I diligently renew my mind to Your Word.
I embrace Your thoughts as my own.
