Success is hunting you!

Proverbs 10:22:
"The blessing of the Lord brings wealth, and adds no sorrow to it."

How much do you want to succeed in life? Enough to change what your saying? Enough to change where your attention is focused? Enough to act on God's Word even when the rest of the world is telling you it will never work?

If you want it that much, the Bible guarantees you'll get it.

I must warn you though. Satan won't like it. He'll try to talk you out of it, and since he knows God's success formula, he knows exactly what tactics to use.

He'll pressure you to say negative things. He'll try to distract you from the Word and get your attention on anything-- it doesn't matter what it is, as long as it isn't the Word.

His goal is to stop your faith. He knows it's the only force that can cause impossible situations to change. He also knows that it comes from God's Word. So when he sees that Word going in your heart and hears you speaking it, he doesn't just sit there. He starts talking. Doubtful thoughts will come into your mind, thoughts that are just the opposite of what God has said.

It is important to remember that those thoughts don't become yours unless you believe them and speak them. And that's what he wants you to do. If the bible tells you you're healed, he will tell you you're sick. If the bible tells you you're forgiven, he will tell you you're guilty. If the bible tells you all your needs are met, he'll tell you they're not.

However, if you hold on to your faith, and keep the Word in your mouth and in your heart, you can't lose. There is no force Satan can bring against you that is stronger than God's Word. It will make you a winner every time.

So if you've been wanting true sucess and it's been eluding you, quit wondering if you have what it takes to make it, and remember instead Who is with you and in you. Then turn to the Bible and put God's success formula to work in your life. Soon, you won't be hunting for success... it will be hunting for you!!
