FULLY PROSPERING
Dr. Kluane Spake

Greetings my friends into this glorious year of CHANGE! I'm sure that most of you started out the year with strong INTENTIONS that this year you will excel into greater blessings, success, happiness, and prosperity.

As you know, prosperity is not just money.  We should prosper in our spirit, soul, and body (3 Jn. 2).  Prosperity  is remaining at Holy rest and peace with God and yourself -- and being fulfilled by what you do. Prosperity means that you appreciate and enjoy your life, your spiritual relationships, your career, and your family. Prosperity means that you have the ability to influence your present generation.

Ask yourself, "Do I have prosperity?"

Remember this: your past is a "locked door." It doesn't matter anymore what happened last year - that can't be changed. But, every past experience should have taught you valuable information. Next, you must learn to view those past experiences as  opportunities to learn.  You can then use this information! Because, the only thing you can CAHNGE is your future.

All studies show us that people who contribute significant things seem to have a common ability to laser beam focus on the positive future and specific goals.

People who don't succeed generally seem to have more of a "shotgun-type focus" and are easily distracted by too many other things - pastimes, the telephone, their email, too many plans, games,  excuses, or choices.  Often, there are just too many ideas that can take you in way too many different directions every day. You can  never make much progress if you frequently change plans and directions.

Author Clement Stone said that "...you will have to give up blaming and complaining and take TOTAL responsibility for your life--that means all your results, successes and failures...if you realize that you have created your current conditions, you can un-create them and recreate them at will...are you willing to take 100% responsibility for your life?"

You must program the energy of your life with an internal Laser Beam focus. You will surely see a manifestation of your goals faster as a result of this targeted focus.

Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is God given. However, it is a matter of personal choice what you decide to focus upon.

There is a fantastic universal spiritual principle: what you focus on will develop and expand.

Great derailment happens if you allow the outside world to determine your internal outlook. And vice versa -- If your are disappointed internally, then your external world will also mirror this disappointment.

Disappointment brings a dullness to your demeanor and appearance. There will be a hazy blurriness about your reactions connection with reality and other people.

No matter what happens in the news... there are massively wonderful opportunities in the world today - for YOU.

Do you have prophetic words that have not yet come to pass? Do you have a dream unfulfilled? Well, if it is from the Lord, you should chart your course toward getting there. Begin today to focus on what you want to create, not what outside conditions may exist right now. Your future will be determined by the thoughts and actions you decide to take. What you decide to focus on will happen... 

The Scripture shows us that what we fear will come upon us (Job). Focusing  on what is negative will surely bring more bad things!  Blurry and negative thoughts and ideas result in discouragement with nebulous, and unclear actions.

As believers, the POWER and energy by which we do things is only through the Holy Spirit! He alone is the energy by which we operate (see my book Connecting).

Life coach Lee Milteer teaches that you have five kinds of energy to spend daily: spiritual, emotional, mental, physical, and financial. The question is: Where do YOU spend your energy resources? On fear? Or do you spend your energy on an hopeful, positive, and optimistic opportunities? Each of us must realize that if we are not purposefully conscious and aware of how we spend our energy, it can easily dissipate into non-creative and non-beneficial ways.

Be aware of the fact that right now you creating your own reality. God has ordained that the power of your words, thoughts, and actions cause you to be THE ARCHETECT OF YOUR OWN LIFE.

George Bernard Shaw said, "Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about re-creating yourself."  

We cannot control our external environment - but  we can control our words, thoughts, and actions. Remember, you are a self-fulfilling prophecy - you must decide to believe in yourself, your abilities and talents. It's time to commit to optimize your life.

You were born to live at this moment in time - handpicked by God to overcome any barrier or obstacle in this lifetime.

"All the breaks you need in life wait within your imagination. Imagination is the workshop of your mind, capable of turning mind energy into accomplishment and SUCCESS." --Napoleon Hill

If you desire full prosperity, focus NOW on SUCCESS. The present economic conditiono f the world is not "personal" or even about you.  It's imperative that you turn from any fear and focus your thoughts on positive action.

You must not be afraid - even though you may be experiencing loss.  Look again. . . IF things are not like you need them to be, it's up to you to invite and expect prosperous ideas to come into your life. Right now, there is no time for self pity.

I've found out from personal experience that most of what we fear is just uncontained exaggerations of our imagination. Your subconscious doesn't discern any difference between reality and your imagination. Both can equally produce anxiety, concern, worry,  fear, and emotional and physical reactions.

One way to control FEAR (Fantasized Experiences Appearing Real) is simply to command your mind to stop thinking about failure and negative influences and purposefully FOCUS on what has been given you to control. I know how bad it feels to have setbacks. But you must teach your soul to focus on right goals and not the potential bad things that could happen.

Being caught up in worry stifles your Divine imagination. 

Eleanor Roosevelt said, “You gain strength, courage and confidence by every

experience in which you must stop and look fear in the face. You must do the thing you

think you cannot do.”

Mark Twain put it this way, “Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear -- not absence of fear.”

It's time to change our MIND and our thoughts.

"Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds, cannot change anything." --George Bernard Shaw          

In the Chinese language, the words Crisis and opportunity are the same word. That's a good way to look at your life today. Viewing current problems as opportunities causes a improved sense of purpose and clearness about everything in your life.

FOCUS on what you can generate and bring forward. Look for new ideas, new creative ways to find success. Rise up and create your future with your attitude. Stop complaining about the present and focus NOW on CHANGE.

REINVENT yourself in this challenging time. 

There are six basic and fundamental understandings that you can utilize that will immediately improve your life and your prosperity:

1.      The quality of your thoughts

2.      The quality of your words.

3.      The quality of your character.

4.      The quality of your actions and behavior.

5.      The quality of your personal philosophy.

6.      The quality of the value you create in life.

Begin to appreciate what you have right now. Be diligent to live as fully and completely as possible on what you already have. Pay attention to what your brain wants to think about and then forcibly exercise the discipline of focusing on the Goodness of God and His blessings in your life.

Take some time today to pray for revelatory passion for your future and creative ideas to expand the influence of your life.
