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.

Character,Conduct, and Commitment
You must have Excellence of Ministry through your conduct, character, and commitment to God, yourself, and others in order to be a credible witness to others.
Your character is who you are as a person and how you are regarded as by other people that know you on a personal level. Your conduct is your character on display. Your character is manifested in your conduct. You commitment is how your character and conduct shows your integrity as a person.
Your integrity is shown when your character, conduct, and commitment has been put to the test against difficulty and has been proven. Be sure you stay steadfast, unmoveable, and unshakeable in all even when your back is up against the wall.
Just focus on 1 Peter 5:9, "Whom reist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethern that are in the world. But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Jesus,afther that ye have suffered awhile, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, and settle you."
So when times seem hard remain stedfast and put it in God's hands and keep it in prayer.

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.

Systematic Plan for Local Church
There are so many times that people finally find their way to church only to find that they really do not know who or what the church represents and what they believe. Before you join a church there are some basic things that you need to find out and questions that you need answered.
1.What is the vision of the church? Make sure their vision is from the Bible and not the vision of the world.
2.What is the plan of the church? How do the intend to bring the vision to life? Is is according to the word of God. Do they have a systematic plan.
3.What is the motivation of the church? What is the driving force behind their vision and plan?
4.What are the obejectives and goals of the church? What is the doctrine that they teach and what is their overall goal?

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.

Your Father is Rich
Whatever you do, do not get discouraged by the financial mess that the economy is in at this present time. I am not saying that you should not care, what I am saying is that your Father in Heaven is rich and will supply all of your needs.
Matthew 6:30 says, " But if God clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you. O ye of little faith."
Trust in God at all times. He wants the absolute best for you and as long as you continue to put your trust in Him and seek Him first at all times, He will supply all of your needs. When you start having doubts and leaning to your own understanding or the understanding of the world, problems will arise.
His blood covers all of those that are righteous and live according to his word. Do not second guess God. 2 Corinthians 8:10 says, " For if the readiness is there, it is aceptable according to what a person has ,not according to what he does not have." So just do what you can and God will supply the rest.
Remember the government and wall street of the world, and they are supposed to have problems. You have been chosen to come out of the world. Put your faith in God and not the world.
