When you don’t wait on the Lord, he can’t trust you. When you trust in the Lord, he will begin to speak to you and break the yolk in your life. Always allow God to make changes in your life. You will be free and have salvation in knowing that you are putting your trust in the Lord.
The devil will always try to get you to follow your flesh and stop feeding your spirit. If you are going to be addicted to something, then be addicted to the word of God and continually cry out to Him. Always wait on the Lord and walk in Him and never give up.
You must always remain diligent in finding the face of the Lord. Trust in Him to give you a new heart and keep his commandments. God wants us to seek Him during the time of devotion. If you don’t have devotion you will keep yourself confined.
Read Ezekiel 36:26
Once it’s developed as a habit you will always want to spend time with God and your mind will become disciplined. The Holy Spirit wants to dwell in you and to be part of every minute of everything that you do in every aspect of your life. God will always meet your need. God will continue to bless you in ways that are beyond your imagination. Always acknowledge God in what you do.
Pray about everything that you do in life. If you don’t pray about it, then you leave it to chance. The Holy Spirit will lead you and strengthen you. Continue to study and meditate to get closer to God. Meditate on the following scriptures.
Read Deuteronomy 4:29
Read 1 Chronicles 16:10-12
Read Luke 18:1

The Power of Words
What we say out of our mouths has a tremendous amount of power in our lives. As Christians we know that we reap what we sow, whether it is positive or negative. This also holds true for the words that we speak on a dailly basis. Read Proverbs 18:21 .
If you constantly go around speaking negative words out of our lives, then you will reap negativity into your life. If you want to have your prayers answered then you must continually speak as if they are already present in your life.
For example, if you are having financial difficulties in this economy and continually pray about it, don't negate it by talking about how broke you are. Always believe that God can and does restore and that He can restore your finances. When you speak out negativily then God will retract his angels from answering your prayer.
Always maintain hope in times of despair and you will be given peace and receive the love of God. Read Romans 5:1-5. There will always be hope, but you have to have faith and believe at all times.
The best is yet to come for a Christian, but first you must speak of hope as you eagerly have a expectancy of something good.

Recognize False Prophets
There are so many false prophets that take the word of God and put their own slant on it so it sounds more pleasing to the flesh to appeal to more people. In Malachi 3:6, it says "I am the Lord, I change not, therefore ye some of Jacob are not consumed."
False profits are taking what you are taught from God and using pride and ignorance so do not allow them to spoil, beguile, or judge you based on their false teachings.
Take the time to develop your own relationship with God and beware of false prophets. They will always sugar coat anything with their own slant. They are to please the flesh by showing very little consequence and only the outcome.
They can be in the form of Christians that have back slided, sinners perpetrating as Christians, and yes even pastors, elders, bishops etc. So be very careful not to fall victim to their ploys and games.

We Must Establish the Plan of God for The Local Church
in 1 Corinthians 1-18-31 it talks about how we are to preach the word of God. Those that the world rejects, God accepts. We must accept and glorify God in our conduct, character and commitment as we continue to trust him.
For God I will live and for God I will die. We have to realize that God has given us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. The gospel is hidden from those that are lost. The plan of the local church should be preached by the pastor for the pew.
All of us are called to minister to the lost. We have been given the grace of ministry through grace. That is why it is so unbelieveably critical that you are a credible witness at all times.
Your life will either be driven by the word of God or by the Devil, God gives you the power to choose. He has already chosen you, now you must choose him.

God Is Love
Love is something that the world has taken and twisted into something that is complete opposite of what God created love to mean. The world has turned love into something that is material and conditional. The world basically says that love is based on how someone else makes you feel or what they can do for you. They have placed a value on people that they claim to love. They have turned love into lust, attraction, and materialism, etc.
Love is something that is supposed to be unconditional and has nothing to do with lust and attraction. The principle of unconditional love is the most precious of all of the 7 spiritual principles taught in the Bible. Without unconditional love, none of the other 6 will prosper in your life, because it takes love to live by the other principles. In the Bible, love is Agape love. This is the love that God has for us. We are to love each other based on how much God loved us. In John 3:16 it teaches that God loved us so much that he gave us His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ and that we are to love others the way that He loved the church.
God knows how much we love Him by how much we love others. The question that you have to ask yourself is how can you love God who you can't see and not love your brothers and sisters that you see every day. This does not mean that you have to go to the ends of the earth for everyone that you come into contact with. It does mean that you should always want the best for others and respect them. This does not mean that you have to be a fool and be taken advantage of by people. However, it does mean that you don't wish evil on others. The Bible teaches that we are to pray for those that despitefully use us. Put it in God's hands.
When you have agape love in your life, your life will become full of love. You have to learn how to give love, before you can get love. If you love others then others will love you. Grow in love and as you grow in love you will grow in your relationship with God. Once this happens you will develop more and more in becoming one with Jesus Christ. As you do this you will begin to gain favor with God and open the door for Him to shower you with blessing after blessing. At times, you will be uncomfortable. God is not concerned with our uncomfortability. He has no respect to person. We must put our flesh under subjection and be obedient to Him at all times. Obedience is not a option. Jesus is the Truth, the Way, and the Light. God knows that your uncomfortability is only temporary and when it is time the Holy Spirit will move inside of you to direct and guide your path. Once you are steadfast, unshakeable, and unmoveable in your obedience to God, then he can fulfil the desires of your heart.
If you have been burned by love then that does not mean that you are not to love others. Love is not based on situations. It comes from spirit within you. If you have been hurt, then rest in knowing that the Holy Spirit will rest inside of you. The Holy Spirit will reveal, remove and then restore you. This means that as the Holy Spirit is revealing your hurt you will go through a period of pain, suffering, and confusion. As he removes, you will no longer have that pain, suffering, and confusion. Then He will restore and you will have peace, joy, happiness and know that only God can do it.
So in conclusion, put your trust in God and know that Jesus loved you so much that he died for your sins and that you have been forgiven.
