Have you watched a television series where the star of the show is seemingly always in eminent peril?

No matter how real the scene feel. . .you can know for sure. . .that the creator and writers of the television show will never kill the hero or the star. . .who plays the hero.

Just like the movies. . .you’re a star that will never defeated by the enemy.  In fact, not only will you not lose. . .God wants you to win every single time.

Here are three scriptures which should strengthen and energize your faith against every attack of the enemy.

First, 2 Corinthians 4:8 in the Amplified Bible says:

“We are hedged in (pressed) on every side [troubled and oppressed in every way], but not cramped or crushed; we suffer embarrassments and are perplexed and unable to find a way out, but not driven to despair.”

The attack on you, your family, health or finances. . .may be intense. . you can trust God that you will never be defeated.  So why be afraid?

Hebrews 13:6 in the Amplified Bible says:

Someone once said, "what you think about, your bring about."

Proverbs 23:7 says:

“As a man thinketh in his heart…”

Successful People Think Differently.  Some people think about what they’ll get when they become successful.  They fantasize about the cars, electronic toys, trips and even the house they’ll live in.

Nothing wrong with dreaming. . .or seeing yourself vacationing in exotic locations.

However, if you want to be successful. . .here are 7 things you should be thinking about FIRST.

1.         Wisdom

If you want to be successful you need an insatiable hunger for wisdom.

You must want wisdom more. . .than your favorite television show.

You must want wisdom more. . .than reading your friend’s posts on Facebook or Tweets on Twitter.

You must want wisdom more. . .than watching the latest game of your favorite sports team.

You must want wisdom more. . .than anything else other than your time with the Holy Spirit.

How do you get wisdom?  The same way you get anything else that you want. . .you ask for it. . .you seek it.

As I was reading Isaiah 55:11, my spirit was stirred to write “Seven Things For the Next Seven Days.”

“So shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return to Me void [without producing any effect, useless], but it shall accomplish that which I please and purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.”

You can’t send forth what you don’t know.

Your mouth can’t send forth what your heart doesn’t understand.

Let’s look at this verse in greater detail.

# 1    “So shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth. . .”

It’s the Word that goes forth. . .not in a written form. . .but the spoken Word of God.

And these are not just any words. . .they’re the words of God from the Word of God.

It’s not enough to know the Word. . .you must speak the Word.

The Message Bible translation of Isaiah 55:11 begins with this sentence.

Why were you born?

I can tell you. . .it wasn’t just because your Mom and Dad wanted to have a beautiful baby.

You were born for a purpose. . .God knew you before you were formed in your mother’s womb.

Yet too few believers understand their purpose or why they were born.

Ephesians 5:14:

“Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.”

According to Strong’s Concordance the word “sleepest” means “to fall asleep” but it also means:

“to yield to sloth and sin” and “to be indifferent to one's salvation.”

The Lord kept bringing the phrase “indifferent to one’s salvation” back to my remembrance and I was prompted to ask this question.

What does it mean to be “indifferent to one’s salvation?”

Let me warn you. . .the principles taught in this teaching are hazardous to the enemy and potentially devastating to his plans for your finances and your life.

These seven keys to immediate increase will set the captives of mediocrity free.  It will raise those seemingly condemned to a financial abyss to a higher understanding of what it takes to experience continuous increase.

Remove any and all hindrances . . . prepare yourself to real and lasting increase in your life.

Here are the seven keys for you to study and activate.

First, expect previously unknown opportunities even in adversity.

The best way to experience previously unknown opportunities is to expect them.

I’ve discovered in my life that when I expect to find unknown opportunities or doors to open. . .they do. . .regardless of my circumstances.

There will be times in life when our reaction to adversity will determine the opportunities we receive.
