Successful People Think Differently (March 2024)

Written by Harold Herring.

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.

7 Things For The Next 7 Days

Written by Harold Herring.

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.

7 Ways To Make The Most Out Of Every Opportunity

Written by Harold Herring.

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?”

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.

26 Ways To Turn Failure Into Success (February 2024)

Written by Harold Herring.

Failure is an event. . .it’s not who you are.  Failure is never final if you have the God-given desire and direction to change your destiny.

Here are the A to Z’s on how to turn failure straight into success.

A-Admit it when you mess up.  The best way to overcome failure is to face it, learn from it and move on.

Proverbs 28:13 in The Living Bible says:

“A man who refuses to admit his mistakes can never be successful. But if he confesses and forsakes them, he gets another chance.”

B-Boldy refuse to accept failure as final regardless of how badly you may have messed up. 

On May 29, 1953, Sir Edmond Hillary was the first man to climb Mount Everest. . ..29,000 feet straight up. He was knighted for his efforts.

People remember his triumph, but few people know that he failed in his first attempt a year earlier.

Later he was asked to speak to an audience that recognized his first attempt at greatness. But Edmund Hillary saw himself as a failure.

You Are Making a Difference

Written by Harold Herring.

As this year is unfolding, we decided to give you a glimpse inside our ministry Triumphant Life Church and our worldwide outreach, The Debt Free Army.

We are continually surprised at what the Lord does in our lives and through the ministry. We love reaching people with hope. The Bible is full of hope and so we enjoy spreading it across the earth.

Each year there are certain ministries we support through contributions from the many amazing partners who have come along side of us over the past twenty years.

Some of our on-going yearly outreaches include television that reaches inside the Soviet Union with the gospel of Christ, Wycliffe Bible Translators who translate the Bible into furthermost areas and dialects of the globe and School of the Holy Spirit Seminars right here in the United States to name a few.

But when our friends, Peter and Joan Vaughn, came through town for their annual visit, sharing  their amazing stories from Indonesia, Miramar and other Asian providences as well as many of the countries throughout Africa, we just had to give you an inside glimpse of what You, a partner in God’s work through us, are doing to Make A Difference!
