3 Keys For Automatic Success

 Moving forward requires three things: preparation, dedication and revelation. To succeed, you must depend upon God for direction daily. - Thomas Dexter Jakes

If there's anything that guarantees you automatic success in life, it's these three things. You may not naturally have joy and peace all the time, but if anything will make you successful on your journey and get you back to them it's your preparation, dedication, and revelation.

Who's Dream Are You Living? 

God created each of us and gave us purpose. Within purpose, there are dreams, goals, and aspirations. It's easy to see the lifestyles of the rich and famous, and think that's something to aspire to, but is it right for you? The blueprint and the details for our unique situations are directly tied to our Divine revelation.


The main way for us to know what's right for us as individuals is to acknowledge and connect with the Most High Creator. 

Daily time spent to pray and communicate with God increases the chances that we'll do that which were created for. It's in the diligence.


Prayer is the best thing to do regularly, it also builds a habit of consistency in other areas. The things that drive us, what we go after, and why we go after them will affect what we produce as well as the outcome we receive.
"Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain."(Psa. 127.1)
When we intentionally seek God first and go about our day in the spirit we reap all that comes with it. The manifestation of our divine dream is promising. Often we fail to realize that the spiritual world is even more real than the physical one we see.

"Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." (Matt. 6.33) 
"All these things" include abundance on a greater level than we can imagine, even greater than the selfish desires we may envision. God's dream for us is better than any dream we could ever imagine by ourselves, and when we stand behind that vision it becomes the motivating force that empowers and keeps pushing us to achieve them. 

It's faith that makes our "in the meantime" moments so powerful.

Christ said: "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." (John 10.10) yes this likely includes financial wealth, but having emotional intelligence, peace, and personal G.P.S for our soul is a type of bag that's unmatched.

It's putting God first that helps us stay motivated. Living The dream is not the one the world has in mind. It's a vision by the Master of creation. There's no road map to life, but there is a guide to living "the real dream". Scripture which is God breathed helps the chosen tap into our destiny, daily. 
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (Jer. 29.11)

Resilience Is from GOD's glory

If we look back at all the things we’ve overcome and even how we handle the things we’re going through, it can be attested that we’re resilient, or we’re strong in the face of trials.

The word says there will be trouble in this world, but it’s The Most High who has overcome the world. When we’re in The Most High, we have the ability to overcome The World.


I talk about this more in the short video (below)


To find strength when we need it the most, to find love in a hopeless place, or to get even a little bit of life in a place that seems desolate, barren, and lost . . . these are miraculous things to witness.✨


Somebody may have said at some point in life: “There’s no hope for you”.  .  . you may have even thought that about yourself at one point, but for us who believe, we have great hope.


This is hope we would never have without GOD's Word.


Scripture says, we have GOD's most precious glory in “earthen vessels” i.e. in us.


The beautiful light of GOD through Yeshua is in His chosen ones.


Wherever GOD's people are, light is.


We become the light of the world that can't be hidden, when we receive The One who gives us The Light.

Now Behold The Lamb

 

Now Behold The Lamb who is the Holy King. To those who believe He is our Shepard. 

Have you ever seen a sheep fighting against anyone who's tried to harm it or take it captive when the Shepard was around?

No. The Shepard does that. The Shepard is the protector. The Shepard is the caregiver. As children of GOD, we don't just have any 'ol Shepard. We have a Good Shepard*. He loves us so much that when we go astray, He delivers us, not only that "He lays down His life for the sheep". 

The Lord fights for us. He desires deeply that lost souls are recovered. When we're found to be in Christ after being lost in the world, all of heaven rejoices!*

The elders use to sing "GOD will fight your battles if you just be still". When we look to The Lamb: Jesus Christ that GOD provided for us, we're truly redeemed.

Born into sin that we may live again, that's a love that surpasses anything that could try to distract us or come against us.

It's the most powerful love, that we may not understand, but when we yield to it . . . our lives are saved.

May we forever keep our eyes on the life saving, life giving Lamb.

Righteousness, Faith, Love, and Peace Be With You

The Kingdom has it's own agenda and it's own design. This world may celebrate striving for "the pursuit of happiness", even some believers may get caught up in the prosperity gospel, but the Kingdom isn't about food, drink, house, clothes, cars, money or bling, It's about surrendering our hearts to the King of kings. The amazing thing is that true peace is born in surrender.

In the Kingdom there is joy in the Holy Spirit and peace that surpasses understanding. The peace that surpasses understanding brings joy with it and far exceeds happiness, because happiness is temporary, joy is everlasting.


Seeing GOD is the blessing. Seeking the Kingdom first causes us to live from a place of fullness, not emptiness. Seeking The Creator's will first and foremost makes us complete.


When we ask in Christ, we receive. GOD's will be done, on earth as it is in heaven, because when we see it, we can walk in agreement with it. May you go before The Lord in Spirit and in truth, and always call on Him from a pure heart.
