Does What You Believe Work?

Here’s a quick summary of 10 things that we can do to join God in His purposes for us now:

1. Be willing to change your beliefs. Question what you think you know, and let the Lord reveal His Truth.

2. Embrace your True Identity: You have already agreed to everything God is doing in, to and through you, so don’t look for someone (including your self) to blame for the situation you’re in or the mistakes you’ve made in the past.

3. Be objective about your temperament. Don’t use your temperament as either an excuse to get out of doing something or a means by which you accomplish something for yourself or for God.

4. Don’t put off until another time the freedom, healing and responsibility God wants you to experience now. Discover God’s purpose for you now, in personal terms, then keep your focus on what He is doing in your life.

5. Acknowledge and submit to the sovereignty and jealous authority of God over your life. Let the Lord show you if there are areas in your life where you are letting other people, or even your own beliefs, usurp the authority He has reserved for Himself.

6. Accept that God loves you as a unique individual. Nothing outside of God can compare, so no comparisons are adequate to describe the satisfaction and contentment that awaits those who know their God.

7. KISS: Keep it Simple, Saint! The desire to make the Christian walk complicated or specialized is often merely an expression of the arrogance of our adamic soul trying to control God.

8. Develop your Supernatural Senses. The more we depend on the Lord, the more He tunes all of our senses to His wavelength.

9. Develop your Warfare Skills. Failing to engage in this battle surrenders that battlefront and makes you vulnerable in that area.

10. Be willing to be out of control. God gives us the training we need to be able to have confidence based on experience.
