Every Pastor wants his Church members do their ministries well. But even among highly committed members, practicing certain habits can really make you distinguish yourself as to excel in the business of the Kingdom of God.
Here are 10 tips for making sure you're on the Pastor's A-list and ultimately on God's A-list:
1. Communicate, Communicate, Communicate Especially at the beginning of your relationship with other Church members or in serving the Church in any new capacity -- that is, when either you or the Pastor is new to the any ministry in the Church -- err on the side of giving your Pastor too much information and asking too many questions. There's no such thing as a dumb question. Look at it as information gathering. Don't keep up the constant stream of communication unless your Pastsor likes it, though. It's best to ask directly whether you're giving the Pastor enough information or too much.
2. Acknowledge What the Pastor Says Pastors appreciate "responsive listening." When your Pastor asks you to do something or suggests ways for you to improve your work, let him know you heard.
3. Collaborate When your Pastor has a new idea, respond to it in a constructive way instead of throwing up roadblocks. Be willing to brainstorm ways to get something done.
4. Build Relationships You'll make your Pastor look good if you establish a good rapport with those your ministries serve, whether they're inside the Church or outside. Bring back what you learn -- about ways to offer better ministry service, for example -- to your Pastor. This is also helpful for your own ministry development. Everybody wins in the long run.
5. Understand How You Fit In Is your Pastor detail-oriented, or someone who keeps his head in the clouds? The Pastor's personality is just incredibly important. Equally important is understanding what your Pastor wants in a member of his staff. It may be, for example, that a Pastor who is detail-oriented will expect his ministry to be as well. But a Pastor who has no time for details may actually appreciate a member of his staff who does.
6. Learn the Pastor's Pet Peeves If your Pastor has said repeatedly that he dislikes being interrupted first thing in the morning, don't run to his office to give him a project update when you first get in.
7. Anticipate the Boss's Needs. Once you have worked with your Pastor for a while, you should be able to guess what information he will want before approving anything that involves money or expenditure, for example. If you provide it ahead of time, that's a gold star.
8. Think One Level Up You still need to do your own job, of course. But when Pastors consider who deserves a promotion, they look for people who understand the issues that their ministry or Church face.
9. Open Yourself to New Ways of Doing Things When your Pastor comes to you with a new idea, don't simply dismiss it. If you don't think it will work, offer to discuss it further in a mature, responsible, adult-like way.
10. Be Engaged in Your Work Arguing with your Pastor over every ministry request is not a good strategy, but neither is simply shrugging your shoulders and agreeing with everything your Pastor says. The Pastor would like to see an engaged individual. That means both showing enthusiasm for your work and speaking up when you see room for improvement in the Church or ministry.
"Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow."

Many Christrians Are Unhappy. Why????
Beloved,
Apostolic greetings in the name of Him, who saves unto the utmost, even Jesus, The Christ of God. Please read Psalm 119:105 and 2 Timothy 3:16-17 first of all before you read the rest of this write-up. I am full aware that there are tough days at work, trouble at home, and it never gets easier. Moreover, I am very much aware that as you grow older it can be tough to stay happy and upbeat with the challenges that life throws at you. But as I pray for you, I have few questions to ask you. Is it tough to enjoy time with friends and family? Are you able to focus and work hard? Do you ever feel unhappy?
The sad truth is that many Children of God struggle to stay happy. From King David to Apostle Paul as well as many others in the Bible, we have come to understand that a poor mood can wear and tear on your body leaving you feeling tired, drained, and empty inside. Unhappiness can damage your relationships, hurt family and friends, and make it tough to succeed. Everyday can be a struggle.
Living happy empowers you. It is imperative that a Christian live a better, more successful life. As such you ought to find yourself always playing with friends, eating dinner with your family, and feeling empowered. Moreover, you ought to find yourself motivated and achieving your goals. Beloved, you ought to have fun living the fulfilling, long life you deserve. You have, in Christ Jesus, the ability to achieve anything, but it's almost impossible without the right mindset, mood, and support.
We are in a spiritual war against our only known enemy Satan. Therefore, gaining and maintaining a positive mood can be hard. But a promising new discovery which is really the same old truth is bringing hope to as many as would hold on to it. "Mood Enhancement" has to be ONLY by a way to safely support your body's healthy, natural mental function by nourishing your body with vital nutrients of the Word of God and proven ingredients. Remember any treatment with Drug alters your brain's chemistry and never a safe natural way for adults to feel better and live happier. But when you learn to use the raw Word of God - just like it is:
Helps ease effects of stress and anxiety
Promotes a positive mood and live happier
Support healthy, natural mental function
Makes enjoying times with friends and family
Live a happier, more active life
The daily dosage of at least 20 Minutes of Morning & Evening personal devotion (concentrating in prayers with only one of the promises of God from any part of the Bible that guarantees victory over every negative roots of Galatians 5: 19-21. Every found verse of the Scripture that fits into dealing with the acting out of these vices is just like taking two pills in the morning or evening. Within a few hours of your first dose you should start feeling the effects. Most people see gradual improvement over the first two weeks.
Rather than feeling drowsy or slow in the day, you would find that a single memorized verse for the day gently eases stress and anxiety as you keep speaking that verse out through out the day, while also helping you feel better. Copy out the Verse in a clip board or piece of glaring paper if you cannot memorize it. Keep reading it to yourself in the course of the Day. This sample takes a few days to take effect, but the results can be well worth it. Begin early everyday, first, with a personal devotion. Wake up bright and refreshed in the mornings. Then the strength to work hard, enjoy your day, and feel positive. This practice helps support your mood without side effects of drugs such as drowsiness or trouble sleeping. It is also non-habit forming that is negative but a habit-forming that is positive.
Write me about your experience after a three month trial of this consistent morning and evening personal devotion. Amen.
Maranatha.

WHAT THE CHRISTIAN MARRIAGE OUGHT TO BE !!!
As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. — Proverbs 27:17
This is one of the best verses that fitly defines what the Christian Marriage is all about and should be about. It is sobering to realize that one of the partners in a marriage RELATIONSHIP may be a thorn in the flesh of the other partner like in any human relationship whether it is even at work or in any ordinary human relationship. Has it dawned on you that you are another person's problem because of your particular personality? Christian marriage is no exception. The problem is, of course, each of us may be the problem, but unfortunately we make it somebody else's as well. It may be the person who has to live with you especially the one married to you, or work with you, or deal with you from time to time. You force that person to have to walk on eggshells around you. He or she loses sleep because of you. How does that make you feel? Well, it sobers me to my fingertips, knowing that I may very well be another person's thorn in the flesh.
Perhaps you are aware of your problem, but you say, "I can't help it. This is who I am." You have prayed about it often. But have you really tried to get help? You are never too old to learn as long as you want your problems solved.
So when you don't have a balanced personality, you have difficulty in getting along with people. You keep sticking your foot in your mouth. You keep rubbing people the wrong way. Only Jesus had the perfect personality. He also has the perfect combination of self-confidence and care for others. That is the ideal person: having the balance of self-confidence, concern, and care for others.
If your personality is your thorn in the flesh, then you should admit it. Be thankful if you can see that you have a problem.
A personality problem is not necessarily sin especially in marriage. It is because you are a sinner that you have it, yes, for nobody is perfect. And yet there is a point at which a personality problem becomes sin: when you excuse it and justify it. If you say, "Well, that's just me," that's when it becomes sin. It is sinful when you excuse yourself and do nothing about it.
We all must be seriously become aware that Marriage carries along with it destructive habits, selfishness, low self-esteem, and an inability to communicate - all examples of the excess baggage we may bring into a marriage. Excess baggage causes problems because we start new relationships with emotional and relational weaknesses that prevent us from serving our spouses.
We begin to accumulate excess baggage because of the devastation brought to relationships and marriages by hardness of heart, a root cause for much of the world’s brokenness (Mark 3:5). Oftentimes the hardness of heart in past relationships damages us and provides the unhealthy patterns we bring to our marriages as excess baggage.
Sometimes there is no easily identifiable single sin that brings down a marriage. Instead, a marriage weighed down by the excess baggage of unhealthy, sinful attitudes reaches a tipping point and the relationship is crushed.
Even in the best of marriages, each spouse brings wrong attitudes and unrealistic expectations learned in the developing years. Children who experience a home with addiction, physical abuse or divorce face higher hurdles in having healthy relationships of their own. Statistically, at least one marriage partner today will come from a divorced family.
Even if it’s done unintentionally, people who are hurt tend to hurt others. Unless we break the cycles and patterns of brokenness in our relationships, we’ll only make things worse. The good news is that there is hope.
Prayer joined with professional and pastoral counseling can help us work through our excess baggage that hinders us so that we can develop healthy relationships. Husbands and wives each bring problems into relationships. We can all admit the simple fact that “I’ve got problems. You’ve got problems… All God’s children got problems.” With this honesty and a soft heart, we don’t have to spend the rest of our lives weighed down by our baggage—no matter how much of it we have

Three Rules of Predictive Prophecy
Three Rules of Predictive Prophecy
A prophet is vindicated and his message authenticated by the fulfillment of his predictions. (In other words) there are definite laws governing predictive prophecy.
Here are the three laws:
1. An accurate prediction must be beyond the power of human foresight or sagacity. In other words, forecasts based on any observable (natural) trends are ruled out. This means that prophesying an obvious or common future event does not constitute a true predictive prophecy. For example, predicting that the sun will rise tomorrow morning is not in any way a prediction. It is a statement of fact. No foreknowledge from the Holy Spirit was required.
2. An accurate prediction must contain a sufficient number of specific details to preclude guesswork. Generalizations do not fit the norm of real predictive prophecy. The more accurate and fulfilled details there are in a prophecy, the greater the likelihood the prediction was truly from God.
3. A sufficient time must elapse between the prediction and its fulfillment to prevent any agency of the prophet or his contemporaries from bringing about the results. An accurate prophecy gains strength and momentum by itself over time until the season for its fulfillment. In this sense, time is the great test of all predictive prophecy. True predictive prophecy comes to pass OVER TIME, and inaccurate predictive prophecy fails to come to pass OVER TIME.
Want to know whether a predictive prophecy is from God? Give it time!
Please join me as we work together to maintain Biblical integrity in prophetic ministry. Let's make sure we continually follow up on any prophetic predictions we give. This is the responsibility of all prophetic ministers.
Hope this helps and to God be the glory,

The Twelve Steps To Become Daily What You Think
God speaks to you at the speed of thought. Thought moves at the speed of light. As quickly as light illuminates a room, a single thought can illuminate your life. You are always only one thought away from living the life of your dreams – one decision away from destiny.
James Allen wrote in his timeless classic, As A Man Thinketh, "All that a man achieves or fails to achieve is a direct result of his own thoughts." Your life moves in the direction of your thoughts. Thoughts are the ever-present currents that move you either closer or further away from your best future. The Steps:
1. The Law of Attraction: Like a short-wave radio signal, your thoughts send messages out on a specific frequency and are transmitted back to you as an experience or occurrence in your life. Your thoughts create a magnetic field around you – attracting either positive or negative experiences. What you think has the power to literally transform your life.
Your life is what your thoughts make it. James Allen also observed that a person "will find that as he alters his thoughts toward things and other people, things and other people will alter towards him." This is the basic premise of the Law of Attraction.
The Law of Attraction is based on the principle that we attract into our lives whatever we focus on as a result of the energy that is exchanged in the process. Because all matter – seen and unseen – is comprised of energy, the energy created by our unseen thoughts either attracts or repels the energy matter of what we ultimately see and experience as a result.
This phenomena is rooted in the findings of quantum physics – which found that nothing in the universe is static due to the fact that all matter is vibrating energy – raw energy that responds to the vibrations of our thoughts, so that consequently "what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen" (Hebrews 11:3 NLT). It is the essence of faith, "the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1 NKJV).
2. Law of Association: Everything you see began in the unseen realm. The first book of the Bible tells us that God spoke the earth into existence – "the worlds were framed by the word of God" (Hebrews 11:3). Yet before God's word ever was, there were His thoughts. The source of all energy and all matter is the mind of God. The Creator – the Great Imaginarian – in whose image you were created.
Your thoughts are powerful. If you want to change your life, you must change your thoughts. If you want to unstick or unclutter your life, you must first unstick and unclutter your thoughts.
"What You Invest Mental Energy in is What You Tie Your Soul to, Both Positively and Negatively."
3. Law of Creation: How are unhealthy soul toxins and debilitating soul ties created in the first place? How can you end up cluttering your soul simply by the thoughts that you think? It is due to this exchange of energy that takes place when you give something your attention, entertain it in your mind, meditate upon it, and speak about it. What you invest mental energy in is what you tie your soul to, both positively and negatively.
As currents of electricity create electromagnetic fields connecting positive or negative charges, your thoughts create similar fields. Your positive thoughts attract positive attachments; your negative thoughts attract negative attachments. Whatever your soul can conceive, there is potential for attachment. As a mother will form attachments to the life conceived within her, so your soul forms attachments to whatever it conceives.
4. Law of the Seed: Satan primarily attacks the seed as to forestall your Harvest. That is the only aim of the attacks you face. The seed of a thought, like the seed of a life, when planted will always result in an exchange of energy and therefore some kind of an attachment. Whether aborted or stillborn, an exchange of energy has taken place.
An exchange takes place through investments of time, energy, attention, and action in the form of thoughts, deeds, or words. Exchanges can be both intentional and unintentional. Sometimes we can be completely oblivious to what we've attached our souls – something may have taken hold in our mind because we inadvertently paid attention to it for too long. I believe this is why Isaiah stated, "(He) who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed, and shuts his eyes from seeing evil... will dwell on high" (Isaiah 33:15-16).
5. The Law of Attention: You have to be careful about what you pay attention to – what you spend time and energy thinking about and dwelling upon. Your life will move in the direction of what you contemplate. As it says in Proverbs, "Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life" (Proverbs 4:23 NLT). What consumes your thoughts gives you a good indication of what ties your soul.
"Whatever You Harbor in the Innermost Corridors of Your Thought-Life Will, Sooner or Later, Reveal Itself in the Outer Arena of Your Life."
Our thoughts, intentions, motivations, and aspirations – whether they be secretly pondered in the heart, openly declared as a desire, or formally written as goals – mold and shape our personal universe into something either grand and beautiful or base and hideous. Whatever you harbor in the innermost corridors of your thought-life will, sooner or later, reveal itself in the outer arena of your life. Whatever is hidden will eventually be brought to light. First Corinthians 4:5 ESV states that God "will bring to light the things now hidden in darkness and will disclose the purposes of the heart." Just as a seed is for a time hidden under ground, it will eventually break through the surface and it's true essence will ultimately be revealed.
6. The Law of Sight and Perception: You cannot possess what you cannot see first of all in your mind or what your thought cannot perceive. Everything you see in the natural began as a spiritual seed – a thought. The temporal realm has its roots in the spiritual. Grabbing a hold of this profound spiritual truth will enable you to make some critical connections that can transform your life. Once you understand that the spiritual realm is the "causal realm," you will begin to grasp the massive power of your thoughts, ideas, words, and prayers – spiritual things that engineer, mold, and craft the current and future state of your temporal existence.
Proverbs tells us, "For as he thinks in his heart, so is he," (Proverbs 23:7 AMP). Your outer world is a direct result of your inner world. Every circumstance in life is a result of a choice – and every choice is the result of a thought. All those things that fill your mind hold the keys to your reality. Make it a habit to examine what your thoughts are chasing after.
7. The Law of the First Thing or Firstling: Able choose to give God the firstling (the first and the best of his thought manifested in his gift) and Cain gave to God the produce of his farm (the afterthought from the deliberate wicked produce of his heart to give God the ordinary and not the best and first - not a God centered and God motivated produce) which was rejected. It was rejected not because it had no blood but because his thoughts were evil. We must learn to harness our thoughts if we are to effectively reign as kings and priests in this earth. We must understand who we were created to be as children of God and the authority we have in Christ. We have inherited the Kingdom and been given dominion over all our adversaries.
"The First Thing We Must Do in Taking Possession of God's Promises is to Take Possession of Our Thoughts."
We are told in Ephesians 6:12 that our fight is not with flesh and blood, but with powers and principalities – a fight that can't be won with our hands, only with our minds. You must become as skilled in your thoughts as a swordsman is with his sword. Taking control of your thoughts will cause you to gain control over your life. That is what putting on the armor of God is all about. (See Ephesians 6:14-17.)
The first thing we must do in taking possession of God's promises is to take possession of our thoughts. This might not appear to require a great deal of skill or effort, let alone training or practice, but there is only one thing harder to master than your thoughts and that is your tongue! (See James 3:8.)
8. The Law of Diligence: Winning the battle in your thought-life requires meditating daily on the truths found in Scripture, studying diligently to show yourself approved, and becoming an earnest and life-long student of the art of spiritual warfare.
Throughout the New Testament we are told that our battles do not take place in the temporal realm but in the spiritual realm. We are told in nearly every epistle, "Fear not, only believe" (see Mark 5:36), "gird up the loins of your mind" (see 1 Peter 1:13), "renew your mind" (see Romans 12:2), and "put on the mind of Christ" (see 1 Corinthians 2:16). We are taught in Romans that to "set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace" (Romans 8:6 ESV).
"Every Battle is Won or Lost in the Arena of Your Mind. If You Do Not Take Control of Your Inner Thoughts You Will Become a Slave to the Outer Circumstances Created by the Tempest Raging in Your Mind."
We are instructed to "take every thought captive to obey Christ" because "the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds... every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God" (2 Corinthians 10:4-5 ESV).
Every battle is won or lost in the arena of your mind. If you do not take control of your inner thoughts you will become a slave to the outer circumstances created by the tempest raging in your mind. The divine spirit within you won't be driving your life, the storms and changing weather of your thoughts will. You must command your thoughts as Jesus commanded the sea. (See Luke 8:24.)
9: The Law of Approximation or Permission: Don't Underestimate the Power of Your Thoughts. Whatever your predominant focus is, that is what you give permission to exist in your life. Jabez chose to focus on his future desires rather than his present circumstances. Many times people focus on the negative and they live in a cycle of negativity. You have to choose to focus on the positive. You have to train your mind to think on whatever is honest, virtuous, and praiseworthy. (See Philippians 4:8). Whatever is going wrong in your life is a result of your focus. If you don't like it, change your focus.
In Genesis 13:14-18, God taught Abraham something about focus. He told him to look at the territory he was giving him, to walk the land in every direction, and visualize the expanse of his legacy. He took him to the seashore, had him run sand through his fingers, and said, "For every grain of sand, you will have a descendant." What did God train him to do? He trained him to focus on bigger thoughts. He taught him how to visualize his destiny.
"The First Thing That You Need to Change is Your Thoughts About What God Wants for You. He Wants You to Live a Life of Abundance. It is His Desire to Give You Divine, Universal Secrets to Great Success and Prosperity."
If you plan to change your future, do not focus on things or people or circumstances that are smaller than what you are truly desiring. Your focus will either feed your faith or confirm your fears. Learn to think like Abraham. Think intentionally, generationally, and even globally. You can never think too big for God!
You must also train your mind to think in the present – to think positively in the present tense (in grammatical terms that would be "the present perfect") – see the thing that you want, the business you hope to accomplish, the person you plan to marry, and so on, as if you are already in possession of what you desire. Condition your mind to accept these thoughts and you will draw these opportunities and experiences to yourself.
Your success and prosperity hinge on what lies within your mind. The first thing that you need to change is your thoughts about what God wants for you. He wants you to live a life of abundance. It is His desire to give you divine, universal secrets to great success and prosperity. He holds the secret spiritual recipe for abundant living.
There are many people who may not be as spiritual as you are, but nevertheless they were able to tap into something great. Whether by accident or providence, they are living lives beyond their wildest dreams, and you can, too. You must say to yourself, until this one fact becomes your conviction, "God wants me to live in abundance!"
A world of possibilities is waiting to be released in your future. Jesus said in Mark 9:23, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes."
"Every Great Achievement Begins as a Thought in the Imagination of a Person. Every Thought is Birthed in the Spirit. Achievement, Therefore, is a Spiritual Process."
In Genesis 11, the people thought to themselves that they could build a tower to Heaven, and because they saw this tower in their minds they were able to build it. God stopped them by causing confusion and making it impossible for them to communicate, because the tower became an idol to them. However, this story still tells of the power of our thoughts: "Nothing they have imagined they can do will be impossible for them" (Genesis 11:6 AMP).
10. The Law of Imagination: Man begins with a concept in his mind, something he believes he is able to accomplish; he joins his will and intellect to his imagination, and then the power of expectation sees it through. Every great achievement begins as a thought in the imagination of a person. Every thought is birthed in the spirit. Achievement, therefore, is a spiritual process.
Based on your ability to harness your imagination, life's opportunities either shrink or expand. Albert Einstein said, "I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world." Imagination drives the engine of innovation, discovery, problem-solving, and peace-making.
Whatever can be imagined already exists; it simply exists in another dimension – in another form or substance – and that is the source of all inspiration. God conceived and by His Spirit spoke into existence all that is. He brought what already was in the spiritual into the temporal by the power of His Word. He breathes that creative force – His very Spirit – into a human being at the moment a person receives that Word into their heart. It is His Spirit – the creative power of His Word – within an individual that gives inspiration and understanding of what already exists in the spiritual realm. "But it is the spirit in man, the breath of the Almighty, that makes him understand" (Job 32:8 ESV). That spirit in you has always existed – it is eternal – and it is the source of all revelation and inspiration.
"Inspirational Thoughts Can Be Thought of as God Finding Expression for His Will Through the Minds of Ordinary Men and Women."
Our lives are built by a series of thoughts, much like bricks are used to build a house. The bricks are what bring it forth from a piece of paper and make it three dimensional. As a man thinks in his heart – in the present active continuum – as he continues to think – he builds his life one brick at a time.
Your every present thought is a significant building block in determining the quality of your future. Many of us build lives like shanties while others build mansions. If your thoughts are inferior your life will be inferior, but if your thoughts are lofty and honorable you are laying the foundation to live accordingly.
Purpose to think inspired thoughts. Inspiration is a God-thing. Inspiration is God Himself speaking into the heart of a human being. Inspirational thoughts can be thought of as God finding expression for His will through the minds of ordinary men and women. According to Jeremiah 29:11, God's thoughts are always good and not evil. I want to remind you that God is up to something good, and He has you in mind.
11. The Law of Correlation: Enlarge Your Territory. There is a direct correlation between the quality of your thoughts and the quality of your life. What you think determines who you are, it determines what you are, where you go, what you acquire, where you live, who you love, where you work, what you accomplish, what you read, and so on.
You will never have more, or go further, or accomplish greater things than your thoughts will allow you. Therefore, you must create an opulent thinking environment in order to create an opulent life. When you alter your thoughts, you alter your life. Your life is a reflection of your most dominant thoughts and meditations. When you meditate on success, you live a successful life.
"Become the Architect of Your Future. Use Your Thoughts Like an Architect Uses a Blueprint. Think About Every Detail."
The trouble for most people is that they don't know exactly what success would look like for them as individuals, or more importantly, what it would feel like personally. It is not enough to just meditate on success generally, you need to be specific. Become the architect of your future. Use your thoughts like an architect uses a blueprint. Think about every detail. An architect not only thinks about the rooms in a house, but the types of windows, the size of closets, the location of outlets, and so on. Nothing is too insignificant. Think big! Think detailed!
12. The Law of Progressive Thinking: If you want to progress in life, you've got to think progressive thoughts. To do so, something new must replace the old. You've got to think beyond where you are. Alexander Graham Bell thought beyond the limitation of the dots and dashes of the Morse code, and went on to replace the telegraph when he invented the telephone. Become a visionary – be creative. Take the limits off your mind!
This is the challenge of creative thinking – you've got to open the spiritual channels of your mind so that God can download divine creative thoughts into your brain. When other people were unable to see what was going on in Heaven, Jesus could. Spend some quality time with God and ask him to enlarge your capacity for thinking and imagining – ask Him to help you take the limits off. That's what Jabez did.
In 1 Chronicles 4:10 NIV, Jabez prayed, "Oh, that You would bless me and enlarge my territory!" Not only did Jabez ask God to expand the capacity of his mind, but he asked God to protect it as well. He asked of the Lord that "Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain." Jabez knew that every evil thought he conceived would ultimately bring forth pain.
Do yourself – and the world – a tremendous favor by getting the toxins out of your soul.
James Allen wrote in his timeless classic, As A Man Thinketh, "All that a man achieves or fails to achieve is a direct result of his own thoughts." Your life moves in the direction of your thoughts. Thoughts are the ever-present currents that move you either closer or further away from your best future. The Steps:
1. The Law of Attraction: Like a short-wave radio signal, your thoughts send messages out on a specific frequency and are transmitted back to you as an experience or occurrence in your life. Your thoughts create a magnetic field around you – attracting either positive or negative experiences. What you think has the power to literally transform your life.
Your life is what your thoughts make it. James Allen also observed that a person "will find that as he alters his thoughts toward things and other people, things and other people will alter towards him." This is the basic premise of the Law of Attraction.
The Law of Attraction is based on the principle that we attract into our lives whatever we focus on as a result of the energy that is exchanged in the process. Because all matter – seen and unseen – is comprised of energy, the energy created by our unseen thoughts either attracts or repels the energy matter of what we ultimately see and experience as a result.
This phenomena is rooted in the findings of quantum physics – which found that nothing in the universe is static due to the fact that all matter is vibrating energy – raw energy that responds to the vibrations of our thoughts, so that consequently "what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen" (Hebrews 11:3 NLT). It is the essence of faith, "the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1 NKJV).
2. Law of Association: Everything you see began in the unseen realm. The first book of the Bible tells us that God spoke the earth into existence – "the worlds were framed by the word of God" (Hebrews 11:3). Yet before God's word ever was, there were His thoughts. The source of all energy and all matter is the mind of God. The Creator – the Great Imaginarian – in whose image you were created.
Your thoughts are powerful. If you want to change your life, you must change your thoughts. If you want to unstick or unclutter your life, you must first unstick and unclutter your thoughts.
"What You Invest Mental Energy in is What You Tie Your Soul to, Both Positively and Negatively."
3. Law of Creation: How are unhealthy soul toxins and debilitating soul ties created in the first place? How can you end up cluttering your soul simply by the thoughts that you think? It is due to this exchange of energy that takes place when you give something your attention, entertain it in your mind, meditate upon it, and speak about it. What you invest mental energy in is what you tie your soul to, both positively and negatively.
As currents of electricity create electromagnetic fields connecting positive or negative charges, your thoughts create similar fields. Your positive thoughts attract positive attachments; your negative thoughts attract negative attachments. Whatever your soul can conceive, there is potential for attachment. As a mother will form attachments to the life conceived within her, so your soul forms attachments to whatever it conceives.
4. Law of the Seed: Satan primarily attacks the seed as to forestall your Harvest. That is the only aim of the attacks you face. The seed of a thought, like the seed of a life, when planted will always result in an exchange of energy and therefore some kind of an attachment. Whether aborted or stillborn, an exchange of energy has taken place.
An exchange takes place through investments of time, energy, attention, and action in the form of thoughts, deeds, or words. Exchanges can be both intentional and unintentional. Sometimes we can be completely oblivious to what we've attached our souls – something may have taken hold in our mind because we inadvertently paid attention to it for too long. I believe this is why Isaiah stated, "(He) who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed, and shuts his eyes from seeing evil... will dwell on high" (Isaiah 33:15-16).
5. The Law of Attention: You have to be careful about what you pay attention to – what you spend time and energy thinking about and dwelling upon. Your life will move in the direction of what you contemplate. As it says in Proverbs, "Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life" (Proverbs 4:23 NLT). What consumes your thoughts gives you a good indication of what ties your soul.
"Whatever You Harbor in the Innermost Corridors of Your Thought-Life Will, Sooner or Later, Reveal Itself in the Outer Arena of Your Life."
Our thoughts, intentions, motivations, and aspirations – whether they be secretly pondered in the heart, openly declared as a desire, or formally written as goals – mold and shape our personal universe into something either grand and beautiful or base and hideous. Whatever you harbor in the innermost corridors of your thought-life will, sooner or later, reveal itself in the outer arena of your life. Whatever is hidden will eventually be brought to light. First Corinthians 4:5 ESV states that God "will bring to light the things now hidden in darkness and will disclose the purposes of the heart." Just as a seed is for a time hidden under ground, it will eventually break through the surface and it's true essence will ultimately be revealed.
6. The Law of Sight and Perception: You cannot possess what you cannot see first of all in your mind or what your thought cannot perceive. Everything you see in the natural began as a spiritual seed – a thought. The temporal realm has its roots in the spiritual. Grabbing a hold of this profound spiritual truth will enable you to make some critical connections that can transform your life. Once you understand that the spiritual realm is the "causal realm," you will begin to grasp the massive power of your thoughts, ideas, words, and prayers – spiritual things that engineer, mold, and craft the current and future state of your temporal existence.
Proverbs tells us, "For as he thinks in his heart, so is he," (Proverbs 23:7 AMP). Your outer world is a direct result of your inner world. Every circumstance in life is a result of a choice – and every choice is the result of a thought. All those things that fill your mind hold the keys to your reality. Make it a habit to examine what your thoughts are chasing after.
7. The Law of the First Thing or Firstling: Able choose to give God the firstling (the first and the best of his thought manifested in his gift) and Cain gave to God the produce of his farm (the afterthought from the deliberate wicked produce of his heart to give God the ordinary and not the best and first - not a God centered and God motivated produce) which was rejected. It was rejected not because it had no blood but because his thoughts were evil. We must learn to harness our thoughts if we are to effectively reign as kings and priests in this earth. We must understand who we were created to be as children of God and the authority we have in Christ. We have inherited the Kingdom and been given dominion over all our adversaries.
