40 Weeks of Fasting from Wrong Thinking: Financial Freedom & Peace - Week 3

Today I am continuing on a 40 week fast (originally a 40 day fast that I've decided to take weekly: 1 thought a week instead of 1 thought a day). The fast was started by Pastor Gregory Dickow, from Life Changers International Church in Chicago, IL.
Here's Week 3:
I wonder if prosperity will ever come my way

Today we are fasting from the thought that says, "I wonder if prosperity will ever come my way." This mindset is preventing true success from flowing through 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. You already ‘got it’.  Prosperity is not something we find; it is 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. WE HAVE A BETTER COVENANT! (Hebrews 8:6)  In Joseph’s case, God was WITH him.  For us, God is also IN us. 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. Say what God says about you. Declare NOW that you are a prosperous and successful man or woman. Proverbs 18:21...LIFE is in the power of your tongue.

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. WISDOM, GREATNESS & SUCCESS ARE ALREADY IN YOU. The kingdom of God is in you. Rom.14:17.

5. Discover the secret of serving! Jesus said, “The greatest among you is the servant of all” (Matthew 23:11).  When you believe in the greatness God put in you, you will want to help others succeed; and the river of success & blessing will flow through you.

6. You will not fail. Failure can only come when we try to find prosperity “out there.” It is 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. I say what God says about me. Regardless of my circumstances, success is in 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 become a river of success and prosperity to flow through, in Jesus’ Name.

God bless..

40 Weeks of Fasting from Wrong Thinking: Financial Freedom & Peace - Week 2

Today I am continuing on a 40 week fast (originally a 40 day fast that I've decided to take weekly: 1 thought a week instead of 1 thought a day). The fast was started by Pastor Gregory Dickow, from Life Changers International Church in Chicago, IL.
Here's Week 2:

"I need more money."
We often think that more money will solve our problems. But the truth is - we need a lot of things that money can’t buy!

Today, we’re fasting from the thought that says, “I need more money!”

Who hasn’t thought that once or twice (a day)?

Let’s change it today:

1. God is your source. We often think that God will be our source of money; but He is our source PERIOD. (2 Corinthians 9:8) He is your sufficiency.

2. We don’t need more money, we need more of God in our lives! As you stay full of God (His Word, the assurance of His love), you will have what you need. We don’t leak (He’ll never leave us), but we forget. (Romans 1:21) As you stay thankful, you stay FULL of God.

3. Abide in Him today.
(John 15:7) See yourself in union with Jesus. Meditate on being “In Him”. Start with 2 Corinthians 1:20.

4. Let His Words abide in you today.
(John 15:7) As His Words become the fiber of your being; and become one with you, you can ASK anything in His Name, and it will be given to you. AMAZING!

5. Don’t limit God. In Psalm 78:41, they limited God. This means that they set the boundaries. They defined what God could do, and how He could provide. This was their downfall.

6. God has countless ways to provide for you.
It might be money or a business, or an idea, or wisdom, or a better budget, etc. He can give water from a rock; bread from heaven; food for a multitude from 5 loaves; coins out of a fish’s mouth...Expect Him to provide HIS way.

THINK IT & SAY IT:


God is my source. I refuse to limit how God can provide, or what He can provide me with. I abide IN HIM and His Word abides in me, and therefore I can ask for whatever I wish, and it will be done. I stay thankful and full of God. Money is not my source. My job is not my source. God is my source, and I expect His ideas, wisdom, provision and supply, in Jesus’ Name.



God bless..

40 Weeks of Prosperity: Week 1 - God Wants Us To Prosper

Today I am going to embark on a 40 week study (originally a 40 day study that I've decided to take weekly: 1 thought a week instead of 1 thought a day). The study was started by Pastor George Pearsons, from Eagle Mountain International Church in Fort Worth, TX.

So let's start:

God Wants Us to Prosper
“He will spend his days in prosperity and his descendants will inherit the land.” (Psalm 25:13, NIV)
A. 3 John 2:
1. “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.”
2. AMP: “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in every way….”
B. Psalm 35:27: “Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which
hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.”
C. Deuteronomy 8:18: “Thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is He that giveth thee the power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant
which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.”
D. 2 Chronicles 16:9: “For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is
perfect toward him….”
E. Proverbs 10:22: “The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and He addeth no sorrow with it.”
F. Philippians 4:19:
1. “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”
2. AMP: “And my God will liberally supply (fill to the full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”
G. God has a covenant determination to prosper us. Our responsibility is to believe it and receive it.
H. True prosperity is the ability to use God’s power to meet the needs of mankind in every realm of life—spirit, soul, body, financially, emotionally, etc.

God bless..

40 Weeks of Fasting from Wrong Thinking: Financial Freedom & Peace - Week 1

Today I am going to embark on a 40 week fast (originally a 40 day fast that I've decided to take weekly: 1 thought a week instead of 1 thought a day). The fast was started by Pastor Gregory Dickow, from Life Changers International Church in Chicago, IL.

So let's start:

Revolution Day 1 - "Money equals prosperity."

Revolution Day 1

As we launch this brand new fast from wrong thinking, we will specifically be dealing with the subject of money and finances. We are living in troubled times financially, and we need to break free from the limitations of the world’s economic system, and breakthrough into the truly abundant life that Jesus promised we could have.

Living patterns are changed and developed over six weeks; as we give ourselves to a new way of thinking over the next 40 days regarding God’s economic system, our financial condition, along with many other things, will change—watch and see!

Today we’re fasting (ABSTAINING) from the thought that says, “Money equals prosperity.”

Let's change it today:

1. Money doesn’t bring prosperity; but God brings prosperity & provision. Philippians 4:19 says, “My God shall supply ALL your needs...” - this includes ALL areas of your life.

2. Let’s re-define ‘prosperity’. Prosperity IS God’s presence in your life. Genesis 39:2 says the Lord was with Joseph, so he was a PROSPEROUS MAN.

3. God’s presence causes EVERYTHING YOU PUT YOUR HAND TO, to prosper—Genesis 39:3. Because God was with Joseph, God caused everything he did to prosper.

4. When the Lord is with you, you will have what you need. Shadrach, Meshach & Abednego, PROSPERED in the fiery furnace, because of the 4th man in the fire! (Daniel 3:22-25) Money wouldn’t have delivered them; but notice it was the PRESENCE OF GOD, that DID.

5. God’s presence is with you NOW! In Matthew 28:20, Jesus said, “And lo, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS....”

THINK IT & SAY IT:

My God shall supply ALL my needs. I believe in Re-Defined Prosperity. God’s presence in my life is true prosperity. His presence causes everything I put my hand to, to prosper. I expect to have everything I need, because the Lord is with me! His presence is with me, and IN me, NOW, in Jesus Name. Hello, Divine Prosperity!


God bless...
