It is essential to every human being to identify his or her area of brilliance and to differentiate it from their areas of weakness, because it is that strength that will ultimately bring us the greatest rewards in life.
The problem is that, if we never grasp what our true talents and skills really are, we will wander through life aimlessly, always feeling as if we were in the wrong place, at the wrong time and engaged in the wrong activity.
Our educational system doesn’t help a lot either. On the contrary, it teaches its students to focus on their weak spots in the name of a well-rounded education.
This kind of education produces an individual who knows a lot about many areas of life, but
One of the most important inspirational books for businessmen, “Think and Grow Rich,” a classic written by Napoleon Hill, is based on training your mind to think correctly,–and has helped countless nobodies achieve tremendous success in life.
Isn’t that amazing? It really works!
Although this seems like some kind of a new fad based on recent scientific discoveries, the Bible talks a lot about how our thought patterns affect the very outcome of our lives.
It is a law established by God. Proverbs 23:7 states that as a man thinks, so is he. Additionally, many scriptures of the New Testament exhort believers to renew or to transform their minds. It also talks about putting on the new man.
Changing our negative and fearful thought patterns is really not that difficult. God would never ask us to do something we cannot accomplish. He has already prepared a masterful battle plan for us.
But it requires diligence. If you have accumulated wrong thinking patterns throughout your whole life, you cannot expect them to change overnight. But you can overcome them with persistence.
Here are 3 steps you can follow to overcome your stinking thinking forever and finally step out into the fulfilled life God wants you to have:
1.- Find your seed
After praying and asking God for His wisdom, research the Word of God in the area you are most struggling in. Let’s say: finances. In the concordance, which is in the back of most Bibles, search out all the verses that talk about money, riches, wealth, prosperity, blessing, etc
God´s Word is not just ink on paper, it has power. You will find several verses that will talk to your heart.Write them down in a notebook.
Read them out loud to yourself at least three times a day. If you can, memorize them and meditate on them throughout your day.
3.-Weed your garden all day every day
Just like weeds, bad thoughts will come up in your brain by themselves. So, every time an ANT wants to crawl into your brain, you confront it with a GRANT (Godly Removal of Automatic Negative Thinking)
Oh, and remember…
“May your meditation be sweet to Him, may you be glad in the Lord.” (Psalm 104:34)

A neat little resource is this tiny book from Charles Capps called “God’s Creative Power.” It is jam-packed with verses of victory in all areas of life.
In the last few weeks we have talked about how God has a plan for us and that His intention is that our life may be a joyful and fulfilled experience on this earth.
Then why do so many of us still struggle with life? Why does life seem so hard and why are our basic needs of provision, joy and peace in God hardly met?
If you are one of those who want to believe God for more but doesn’t know how to get out of the situation you are in, welcome to the crowd. The vast majority of believers are in your situation.
They live a life that is way below the level that God has intended for them.
Why? Does Christianity not work? Why is it so hard to live the victorious life?
The truth is that God is not Santa Claus. He won’t come into your life and dump the victorious life on your lap.
And even if He would do it, you probably would not be able to maintain it if your mind is not renewed.
We as Christians have to realize that when we are born again, it is our spirit that is renewed, but we still have a mind that is polluted with our old way of thinking and we still live in a body which has acquired bad habits and wrong appetites from our former life.
That is why the Bible talks so much about renewing our mind (Romans 12:1,2) and putting off the old man (Colossians 3:9,10).
And this requires a conscious effort.
It requires the diligence and the determination to not only hear the Word of God, but also to put it into practice in our lives as the Spirit guides us with God’s wisdom and gives us the grace to overcome.
Remember that the Holy Spirit is your helper. He will empower you to change your life, but He will not do it for you.
Ouch! This truth hurts, Bettina.
Yes, and I’m sharing it with you because it is my hearts desire to see you happy and fulfilled in all you do.
If you want to walk in the freedom Jesus bought for you, you will have to take action and start making changes in your life.
Once you embrace this truth and start walking in it, your life will dramatically change and slowly but surely everything else will start falling into place.
Oh, and remember…
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)
Most of the time fear hovers in our subconscious mind and has the power of controlling our life. If not dealt with, it will always hold us in bondage and never allow us to walk in God’s plan for our lives.
Fear can show its ugly head in many different ways. There is fear of poverty, fear of criticism, fear of illness and old age, of losing a loved one and ultimately the fear of death.
The best way of getting a grip on fear is by understanding how it operates. Fear is a kind of faith, but it is a twisted faith. It has an evil origin.
We have to realize that there are two forces operating on earth: a good one and a bad one. The Bible speaks of two kingdoms, one is the kingdom of light and the other is the kingdom of darkness.
The kingdom of light operates by faith. The only way to access it and to receive from this kingdom is by faith. Jesus said, “Nothing is impossible to him who believes.”
On the other hand, the kingdom of darkness operates by fear. Fear operates just like faith does. Whenever it is released, it will bring evil to pass.
Whenever a person chooses not to believe in good and decides to consider the bad options, the kingdom of evil will manifest.
Now why do we fear instead of having faith?
Mainly out of ignorance. We have listened to the wrong voices and have filled our head with the wrong information. God said, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” (Hosea 4:6)
So, whenever they have to make any decision, they act out of fear and not out of faith.
The problem is that if you are governed by fear, you will never have the courage and the faith to step out and walk in what God has for you.
You might say, “But I don’t have a strong faith!” That is easy to solve! Romans 8:17 says that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.
It is when you feed yourself with the Word of God—the good information–that faith will rise up in your heart and you will be able to overcome those feelings of fear and firmly step out with the absolute conviction that nothing can stand between you and success.
Anybody who wants to live a successful life will have to take time to meditate on his or her life’s purpose.
You will not find it by logical reasoning or in a good education. Your purpose is always in your heart in the form of a dream. God Himself put that dream there and created you with a unique combination of gifts and talents to make it come true with His help and guidance.
The problem is that too many different voices are surrounding us and confusing us. If we are not aware of these potential roadblocks to our success, we will(more…)
It might be a financial breakthrough, a weight loss program, or even the desire to improve your relationship with others. But you will not be successful if you are not aware of the pitfalls most people encounter when it comes to making major changes in their life.
Here are three of the most common mistakes people make when they want to make a change in their life:
Lack of vision
The first thing you need when you want to step out higher is a clear picture of where you want to go. You cannot jump into a major endeavor just because you feel good about it.
After a while the good feeling will be gone, especially when the first difficulties start showing up. You cannot implement a (more…)
