Filling our bank with promises

As we get more excited for the prospect of opening our, or should I say His coffee shop someday, this sermon really encouraged me.

-Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

⁶ In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Proverbs 3:5-6

-Meditate on the word day and night. Consistently. God wants us to Obey him. How can we obey without hearing and listening. 

-How are you going to know how to be a Godly Mother/Father/Daughter/Son without having a continuous conversation with God?

1. Fruits of it: Quiets your spirit. Best counselor in the World is God.

2. Purifies our heart

3.Sharpens our perception: you begin to understand things you weren't understanding.

Want to be rich? Have a promise bank and fill it with promises from God. If you don't read the word your bank will be empty. You're concerned about putting money in the bank? The best thing you can put in your bank is promises in the bank God has given you in your heart. You'll be rich. You'll be prosperous. When you ask other people what you should do. Be careful who you're asking. Be careful they're giving Godly counsel and not just trying to make you feel good.

When you obey it builds your faith and enlarges our view of God, and guides us to success. 

He doesn't want us to be a failure in anything we do. He may allow us to fail in order to teach us something He wants us to learn in order for us to be a the success He wants us to be.

Romans 8:28

When a man or a woman has the conviction that he or she doing the work God wants him to do, he has a zeal and a courage in his soul that all the forces of this world cannot destroy.

Are you doing what God has called you to do?

Joshua 1:8

"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."

Always wise to obey God.

You've got the best inside of you. The Holy Spirit. Listen to Him and Obey him.

I will instruct you and show you the way to go; with My eye on you, I will give counsel. Psalm 32:8

14Now this is the confidence we have before Him: Whenever we askq anything according to His will, He hears us.r 15And if we know that He hears whatever we ask,s we know that we have what we have asked Him for.t 1 John 5:14-15 

God is leading Daniel and I and it's so very exciting! Can't wait to see what all He does and how He invites us to join in!
