Many Christians found Jesus through Social Gospel, that is lacking Substance and LIFE.
And so many Christians feel spiritually dry or have not experienced much Change in their Walk with Jesus. That’s sad, and I wish to help you find your way a little by giving you some Principles and Steps to Change. These things will position you for Change and what we do consistently stays with us.
Does that sound Good? Here we go!
“Things are not as hard as we think they are when our decision is made
~ it’s a springboard to all good things.”
“Refrain from negative words ~ speak Faith and Victory into your present and future days,
forgetting things that are past.”
“Refuse to be defined by experiences you’ve had or present circumstances.
Don’t even define yourself ~ let Jesus do that because He has a clearer picture.”
“Sometimes we need new fresh attitudes to place ourselves where Jesus can bless us.
And in fact, that is one of His best blessings ~ pray for some and apply them consistently.”
“We develop Character by doing things we don’t want to do ~ not just those things we like to.”
“You can’t just wish change; you have to live it gradually for it to become a reality.”
“Don’t let Smiles go out of your life – they will keep you from sadness, worry and strife.”
“Obstacles are more easier overcome when we don’t magnify them.”
“Fill your thoughts with pleasant things – the results will be pleasing to your soul.”
“When we start telling telling ourselves we can, we start to know we will.”
“God is interested in the activities of my day. He always has time for me!”

EXTRA HELP
Terry Law tells us in his book “Power of Praise” that we believe the words that we speak
(we hear ourselves saying) more than anyone’s. So yes, it is important the words that we speak.
And you know, that just like “Faith comes from hearing His Words” we can speak them to
ourselves, each other and to God and faith will rise in our hearts.
Terry explains Confessing His Words with the verse from Rom 10:10
“We believe with our hearts and are justified and we confess with our mouths and so we are saved.”
So we are means IN THIS WAY He Saves/He Works.
Terry also says that just as the thoughts of our hearts can lead to or influence the words of our mouths,
this can also work the other way round if we are persistent and consistent. These New Words from
our mouths – God’s Words, Good Words, Cheerful Words can lead to or influence Good, Positive and Healthy thoughts in our hearts. They can NURTURE our FAITH!
The above is my understanding/rendition of Terry Laws encouragements on Rom 10:10
And you know that the Apostle Paul says in the immediate next verse that He/she who finds The Lord
this way OR walks this way “No one who believes in Him will be disappointed or put to shame”.
Yes, how would you like to show The Lord you believe in Him like this more often?
You Can_ because Paul also says “As you received Jesus also continue to Walk In Him” Col 2:6
And that’s the way people received Christ as their Lord and Savior in New Testament Days!”
You could say (in a sense) that Paul is saying to us
“If you want to avoid disappointments more often…….if you really want to bring God Glory….
walk in this way!”
For years, I kept 2 books I had read (partly). One was the Power of Praise by Terry Law
and the other was Me and my Big Mouth by Joyce Meyer. I did not put them into practice….
started to for several days and left it aside – as it were – and The Lord actually reminded me
in different words I was given prophetically by 3 different Christians. He thought this
So Important! Yes, it is for ALL of us!
Paul said to us in Col 2:6 that “If we continue to walk as we did when we received Him, we will be Built Up and our Faith will take Root”….do you want to build Tap Roots so your Faith can be Unshakable?
COUPLE THESE PRINCIPLES WITH PRAISE!!!
Scripture says “With our hearts we believe and with our mouths we confess
those things pertaining to Salvation”
This principle applies throughout our lives in Jesus.
WHAT ARE YOU BELIEVING FOR?
Believing is an Active Word….this is an excellent way to Activate our Faith!!!
And make sure those things you are believing for are not mostly “Me” orientated.
(That is not healthy and Jesus can’t bless that – aim for balance).
