FASTING FROM WRONG THINKING 6

Day 6 - Fast from Wrong Thinking Today we are fasting from the thought that says, "When is success and prosperity going to come my way?" This mindset is preventing true success from flowing in our lives. When we wait for it to come to us, we miss the point of what it really is. Let’s Change It Today: 1. Success is NOT something we obtain. It's something we are. (Genesis 39:2) The Lord was with Joseph, so he became a SUCCESSFUL and PROSPEROUS man. Notice, prosperity was not something he had; it was something HE WAS. 2. Just as the Lord was with Joseph, He is with you—and then some! For Joseph, God was WITH him. For you, God is also IN you. 1 Corinthians 3:16 says, “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” 3. See the image inside of you: of a successful and prosperous person, regardless of what circumstances you find yourself in. Joseph saw himself prosperous, and therefore HELPING OTHER PEOPLE SUCCEED, was not a threat to him. He knew who he was. 4. You have a treasure in you. (2 Corinthians 4:6) We have this treasure in earthen vessels. Don’t doubt the treasure in you. (You have power, love, sound mind; you have wisdom, faith, joy; the kingdom of God is IN you, etc.) 5. Remember what Jesus said. “The greatest among you is the servant of all” (Matthew 23:11). Understand this starts with KNOWING THERE IS GREATNESS IN YOU. My twist on this: serving doesn’t make you great. But when you realize the greatness God put in you, you will serve others gladly. When you are secure in your own success (on the inside—because God is with you and in you), you neither feel inferior or superior to others; you’re just happy to serve. Failure can only come when we try to find success somewhere else—other than in us. God put it there. THINK IT & SAY IT: I don’t need to wait for success to come my way. I am a prosperous and successful person, because God is with me AND in me. Wherever I go, I bring success. To prosper is not something I do, it's something I am. Regardless of my circumstances, success is in me. I will not wait for someone to give it to me. I have a treasure inside of me. That treasure makes me secure and confident so that I can freely and gladly serve others and see them become successful.

Christians We Got To Do Better

I am so sadden about the deaths of our children. I understand that these are suppose to be the last days and don't get me wrong I do know this world as we know it will pass away. But I have been hearing we in the last days since I was a child. What bothers me about people saying that is that, that seem to be an excuse for children killing each other or parents killing their children. Some christians are asking Jesus to hurry up and come back, well I remember Jesus saying that it is not his will that any should perish. So lets try to find some solutions to this problem. It should be unexceptable for children to be killing and children going to state prisons at the ages of 15,16,17. My christian sisters and brothers we can not hide behide "these are the last days" because we don't really know when our last days are. Didn't Jesus also say that no man knows the day or the hour. And if these are the last days don't we want to be doing the work of our father when
