Tools for going to the next level

Maintain A Strong Godly Attitude

• Stay in the presence God
• Wait on God
• Stay Focused
• Be willing means– longing, voluntary, eager, and desire to fulfill the will of God for your life.

To stay grounded in the Holy Spirit

• Humble yourself and put God back into the driving seat.
• Search yourself and ASK God for a pure heart.
• Clear your mind from mental and emotional chaos.

James 4:10 Humble yourselves [with an attitude of repentance] in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.

Before He exalts you. God wants to make sure you agree with His word for making wise decisions as a leader. God is grooming you to birth your ministry through His spirt and not birth unprofitable fruit through your flesh.

Note: God doesn’t want us to embarrass Him, so (Matthew 26:41), we have to Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

Here are some scriptures to give you a holy script and revelation for warfare. So, you may stay on God’s trajectory for Godly success.

Galatians 5:16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.

• NIV: So, I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves.
• KJV: This I say then, walk in the spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
• ESV: But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.

God desires a father son/ father/daughter relationship. God called Abraham His friend because God is seeking a partnership with you.

Revelation: This way you don’t partner-up with your flesh but you partner-up with the Holy Spirit.

God wants you to submit your eyes to Him.

• Your eyes will deceive you.

Example: Eve eyes had grown lustful by what she had saw so she became stuck.

• David was deceived by his eyes when he looked at Basheba. God eyes saw him in war when– David had a vision of himself lusting after a woman. As a result, David became stuck and he had to pay for his sins.

When your eyes are submitted to God you see Jesus:

When your eyes are not submitted to the cross, they look through the lens of your flesh. We fulfill the lust of the eye, lust of the flesh and the pride of life when we take our eyes off Christ. The more you repent you increase the probability of losing sight of practicing sin and seeing your purpose. Don’t be like a cat stuck in the tree or a car on the side of the road stuck. Open your eyes and see Jesus is how to stop being stuck.

A Few Wise Tips:

• Repent often throughout the day to keep your heart clean.
• Seek the Lord and have a good attitude.
• Stay in the presence of the Lord.

Note: Know that God does not answer prayers while you are in sin. He answers prayers –He told you to pray or those prayers He dropped into your spirit man to fulfill His perfect will for your life.

I Chronicles 28:9 “And you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father and serve him with a whole heart and with a willing mind, for the Lord searches all hearts and understands every plan and thought. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever.

• Humble yourself in the presence of the Lord to be cleansed and gain a clear perspective on your call to ministry.
• Beware of selfish ambition that sets itself above God and pride that takes glory from God.
• Hunger and thirst after righteousness. 3:10-13
• Continually Pray for a fresh move of God in your own life.

Then pray for a fresh move of God in the body of Christ.

Quote: You may outgrow your place in a ministry but never outgrow your relationship with God.

Question: How do you overcome worldly fears and overcome inward fears?

Two Powerful Weapons:

• Stay in the presence of God where joy, righteousness, courage and overcoming power exists.
• Resist sin, bad habits and people who seduce or entice you to sin against God and your own body.

Note: If you need training or help let me know for further teaching.

Different Types of Test & Trials

Remember, you have trials for growth to prepare you for ministry that God sends but there are other trials below:

• Jesus in the wilderness tempted by Satan.
• You have trials that come because God is bragging on you like Job.
• Then you have test you bring upon yourself out of disobedience.

Wisdom:

We have to learn the difference between right or wrong at some point in our lives. Character is proof. Two of your best weapons against the devil is obedience and your faith on how to stop being stuck. But spiritual tools are not enough to maintain deliverance. You need real time issues with difficult people in situations that test your character and integrity that help you take a moment and look at how you are living for God. Most times this is not easy. Because your eyes are on people after an offence rather than on God during a trial.

• Real time situations are like a ruler to measure and evaluate your walk with God, combat with others, and to see if you be of the faith.
• God will measure your character by the way you handle situations. (Proverbs 16:7)

During this trial you can ask do I have a character or am I character. If you don’t past this test. You may take on the spirits dropped off by your oppressor. When Job was tested. Every possible behavior within him manifested. His weaknesses and strengths did too.

Example: His ability to complain, question God, give up and be out of character. Along with the fact he cursed the day he was born. Manifestations of behavior patterns are consumed by the fire of the lord during a trial so you won’t be stuck.

But Job never cursed God. He kept the footing of his dignity and maintained his integrity. Some of us would have lost our way during the first interval of hardship.

You want to go to the next level.

You need to receive understanding and you need to be understanding.

• Proverbs 17:27 reads a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit. Also, change your ways, follow God and pick up your cross. Godly training and Godly commitment will lead to Godly promotion to the next level.

Next Level:

• Set a goal, ask God how to prepare, then pursue it wholeheartedly.

You need favor with God like these men.

• David was a man after God’s own heart. Acts 13:22 — And when he had removed him, he raised unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave their testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.

Although David was a murderer and had a plethora of faults and insecurities. David is still loved today by so many of us even 4,000 years later because God loved him and called him a man trying to steal the heart of God.

• If you admire David, it’s probably because God admired David. God will touch hearts just so other people love you and have favor with people in high places as proof you are delivered from being stuck.
• David was a poet, a warrior, a shepherd, and a man of faith.

Exercise:

• Think of what you want.
• Think of what it will take to achieve it.
• Ask God to give you favor to accomplish it.
• Then go after it.

Quote: No matter the age, life stops when you pull the plug. But it starts when you plug into the right source. His name is Jesus.

You need to be completely open and honest with God.

Revelation Knowledge:  See you were open with the wrong people and they took advantage of you. God is a jealous God. It’s like idolatry when you don’t give your all to God but intentionally give your all to others.

Next Level Commitment: Make a new commitment to God: Say I refuse to be stuck.

• Allow yourself to say I Repent. I learned my lesson. I apologize for giving more of me to people than giving all of me to you. Tell God, this time –you can have all of me.
• After you re-establish your kingdom in me this time. I will know who to be vulnerable around, draw boundaries, and not be overfriendly.
• I will learn how to enjoy relationships without being overfriendly.

God already knows what you are thinking and feeling. Why not tell Him before you share it with others?

• Give the keys to your soul to God before you make the mistake and give them to your enemy you think is your friend. Becasue we bury things God wants us to dig up and place on the alter.

Prayer: Lord help us not to bury worry and fears that causes us to fret and turns into a physical sickness. IN JESUS NAME!

Two things you should not do because it’s very unhealthy:

• Hide your sins & bury your problems.

If you hide your sins: The bible says your sins will find you out.

• And if you bury your problems: Your problems create a sickness in your body that will take you out.

Unconfessed sin that lingers too long…. leads to inward attacks causing premature death and inward struggles making no room for peace of mind.

• Every chance you have throughout the day confess and renounce your sins. Ask God to wash you clean.
• This is where humility will prolong your life span and confession will heal your soul.

My Prayer: Merciful and loving Father, I repent, and I turn my back on my sins. I have no sins I intentionally practice because I am sold out to the Holy Spirit. Forgive me for those I don’t see. But show me myself so I can see my hidden sins. Give me the strength to let all sin habits go away. I renounce any hatred, unforgiveness and uncontrolled anger I can’t wait to release on the person that hurt my feelings. Throw these sins in the sea of unforgiveness and touch my soul with the fire of God. Set me free and live in me in a BIG WAY daily so that my dominant thoughts immolate Christ Jesus.
