The way we recieve God's Wisdom, is by first turning to His Word. Second begin meditating on it, until we can see that Word in our heart to act on it.
PUSH FORWARD AND BREAK OUT
“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” (Joshua 1:8)
Prosperity and success belong to people who meditate and act on the Word of God.
Prosperity and success belong to people who meditate and act on the Word of God.
If we are to succeed in any endeavor in life, we must focus our attention on the Word of God until we see that Word in our heart.
Once we can see His Word, we can begin acting on it.
The first definition of "prosperity", here in Joshua 1:8 is; to become mentally intelligent, to gain the wisdom of God in any situation.
The second definition of the word "prosperity" means to PUSH FORWARD and to BREAK OUT.
So by meditating on Gods Word we are able to gain His wisdom. This gives us the vision we need in our hearts to act on His Word. And by acting on His Word we become empowered to push forward, and break out of the prison that is keeping us bound.
In Isaiah 61 the Word declares that Jesus has the power to open the prison to them that are bound.
The fact of the matter is that there is a worldly system of thinking and acting. This system tries to keep us conformed to its death cycle of negativism, defeatism, and death.
Satan influences and operates in that system. His objective is to kill, steal, and destroy.
The Good News is that Jesus has come to give us LIFE, and LIFE MORE ABUNDANTLY. (John 10:10) He has literally unlocked the prison doors of this worldly system of bondage and death. Satan wants you and I to believe that we are stuck and that there is no way out. But the truth is, God has given Jesus the keys to death, hell and the grave, and He has unlocked those doors for us!
Now its up to us to choose to believe this truth. We must realize that God has provided a way, and Jesus was our example, on how to be FREE from the death cycle and walk through those unlocked doors.
The way out is gaining the wisdom of God. God in His eternal mercy and grace has provided the way for us to gain His wisdom. He is not holding it back.
James 1:5 says “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.”
You see God is not holding back His Wisdom from you. He wants you to have it, so that you can push forward, and to break out of Satan’s deception, which tries to hold you bound.
The only way to receive Gods Wisdom to freedom is by turning to His Word and meditating on it, until you are able to observe to DO that WORD!
Once you see His Word in your heart, then you can simply begin acting on that Word.
In Jeremiah 7:23 the Word of God says that if we obey Gods voice, (His Word) He will be our God, and we will WALK in ALL the ways He has commanded us, and we will be well.
Notice the Word declares that we are to walk in ALL the ways that He has commanded us to walk. We are to be a doer of ALL the Word. We are to walk the WHOLE way, or ALL the way of the Word, not just a part of what we read or hear, but the WHOLE Word.
We are not to give up, when walking out the Word of God as well. To many times I have seen God fearing Christians begin their walk of faith, and when the storms of life come crashing in, Satan tries to steal the Word of God out of their heart by a false interpretation of these contradicting circumstances.
As a result they give up and let go. We must never stop short of seeing the FREEDOM Christ purchased for us.
In order to experience that FREEDOM, we must become committed to the Word. We must set our focus on the Word of God, and go the whole ten yards so to speak.
The Word of God declares in Ephesians 6:13; “Wherefore take unto you the WHOLE armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done ALL to STAND.”
We are to take on the WHOLE armor of God, and having acted on ALL the Word, we are to STAND.
The word "stand" here does not mean to stand and do nothing. Nor does it mean to just stand there and take a beating.
Stand here means to CONTINE thinking and doing that Word.
STAND FIRM, STAND YOUR GROUND. Don’t let go, and DON’T QUIT!!! Continue doing the Word.
You see it is after continually acting on the Word of God, it is after we WALK IN ALL the ways He has commanded us to walk, that it will be well with us.
Look at Isaiah 48:18, the Word says: “Oh, that you had harkened to My commandments! Then your PEACE and PROSPERITY would have been like a flowing river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.” (Amp.)
The promise of our Father is this, if we become a doer of the Word of God, and continue standing on that ground; we will have peace and prosperity. We will have success in life.
Listen, we will have PEACE when we are acting on His Word. The only way this peace comes is by making the commitment to WALKING IN ALL His ways. This peace, that comes by being committed to acting on the Word, will guard you, and keep you, and is the fuel you need to see you through to FREEDOM!
You see it is the peace of God that passes all natural understanding, and empowers us to hold onto the wisdom we need to PUSH FORWARD through the storms of life and succeed.
We begin BREAKING OUT of the deceptive bonds of sin, sickness, and lack and begin having good success. So take courage, and step out of that prison, by being a doer of the Word today!

INHERITING THE PROMISES OF GOD
“That you be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises." (Hebrews 6:12)
The Bible plainly says here that we inherit PROMISES.
Promises meaning many, not just one promise. When we start talking about the promises of God, we are talking about all 3573 of them. Think about that for a moment. God has made over 3000 promises. And according to Hebrews they are for you and I to inherit.
Look at 2 Corinthians 1:19-20;
“For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by me and Silas and Timothy, was not “Yes" and “No", but in Him it has always been “Yes". For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes" in Christ. And so through Him the Amen is spoken by us to the glory of God."
THEY (the promises of God) ARE YES IN CHRIST! PRAISE THE LORD!
So when you come across a promise in the Bible like Philippians 4:19 which says; “But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in Glory.” , we can understand that this promises is not just for a chosen few, it is for everyone, and it is already a Yes in Christ Jesus.
We don’t have to wonder if God is going to do it. We don’t have to wonder if He will supply our need? We don’t have to wonder, “Did I screw up enough to where He won’t do it this time?"
Thats the great news. These promises of God are not conditional. They are freely given to us through Christ Jesus.
Many people have the wrong perception when it comes to the purpose of Gods promises. Since they don’t understand the reason for God giving us these promises, they think that it is not right to ask, much less expect God to fulfill His promise of meeting our need. Especially if we haven’t earned it somehow.
Thats why when someone is going through a financial difficulty, the devil works hard on us to think like the rest of the world does; “What did they do for this to happen?” “Whats wrong with them.”
And the whole time God is pointing them out to you and I, so he can move through us to fulfill His promise to them.
More often then not, we sit there religiously and do nothing. We limit Gods unconditional love, and His mercy because we judge that person as not good enough to receive any good thing.
And this is the very opportunity where God wanted to help both you and that person in need. But we limit Gods Blessing in our life just like they did, all because we had a misunderstanding of the purpose of Gods promises.
You see God has given us His promises to change our life from lack, sickness and bondage, to abundance, heath and freedom!
Look at 2 Peter 1:4 “Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.”
The purpose of Gods promises are to change your situation around. To give you a way of escape from the moral decay, rottenness, and corruption that is in the world because of lust and greed.
Jesus Christ already paid the price for these promises to be freely offered to you and I . When we receive these promises, His divine nature goes to work and begins producing these promises in our lives.
It’s the goodness of God that leads us to repentance. Turn towards Him today, begin finding out what He has promised you, and begin seeing your life, and the lives of those around you, changing to the glory of God.
