But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. 2 Corinthians 3:18 (NKJV) God wants to take us from glory to glory, but sometimes we get stuck after the first glory. We get saved, and we experience a bit of that glory. Life with God is awesome, exciting and new! But then, after a few months, that excitement seems to fade. Do you know why? I believe that we lose that passion if we don’t continue to change and grow with God. We get focused on how everyone else needs to change instead of asking God to change us. …

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. Ephesians 3:20–21 Do you dream big? Because our verse today says that God can do exceedingly, abundantly above all that you ask and think. Guaranteed, whatever you’re dreaming, you need to dream bigger! You can live a life filled with joy, happiness, and beauty. You need to believe that you can change, grow, and succeed in every area of life. Now, just because belief is involved, it doesn’t mean that this change is instant. Success happens through belief plus work …

For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live]. Ephesians 2:10 (AMPC) If you skimmed over today’s verse, I want you to stop right now and read it again. Isn’t it incredible? This verse says that God has already prearranged the good life for you! This means he pre-arranged great friendships, blessing, and prosperity. He prearranged great relationships, laughter, health and joy. He prearranged great things for your life, but he’s not forcing you to take the paths …

Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Joshua 1:8 We all need to break through limits in our thinking to walk in God’s best. One woman experienced this kind of limited thinking. With the best intentions, she planned to put her girls on birth control when they turned twelve. She imagined that her girls would become sexually active at a young age, but the problem is when a parent has a limiting vision like that, their kids are much more likely to walk it out. I know that there are times to be practical, but this vision …

But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today. Deuteronomy 8:18 Do you ever get frustrated with your life or doubt that things will ever change? Never give up hope. Don’t entertain thoughts that circulate in your brain, saying, “I can’t change. This is who I am,” or “I guess this is as good as it’s going to get.” Those are lies. God wired you to change, grow and get better with every passing year. You’re wired to succeed and manage your finances. Your body is wired to heal itself. Your mind is wired to experience joy and peace. You are wired to be …
