Keys to living an abundant life

Make Jesus Lord of your life. Be born again. Trust in God and his word. Trust Him with all your heart, and do not put your trust in self, money, or worldly items.

Come to God with an attitude of expectancy.

Renew your mind to the truth. Jesus has already paid for your healing (Psalm 107:20, 1 Peter 2:24, Matthew 8:17).

Always ask in Jesus’ name.

Do not fear or doubt. Take authority, speak to your storm, and command it to leave in the name of Jesus. Is your storm sickness or lack?  Tell it to get out of your life in Jesus’ name. Trust Him to provide all your needs—not some but all.

Do not be controlled by your sense mechanisms (2 Corinthians 5:7).

Meditate on Gods’ word constantly.

Be a doer of Gods’ word, not just a hearer only.

You have the power of life and death in what you say.

What you say can create or destroy (Proverbs 18:21, Deuteronomy 30:19).

Be positive. Surround yourself with positive individuals.

Keep calling out things which seem not to be as though they are (Romans: 4:17).

Believe what the word says and receive it.

If and when fear comes, command it to leave in Jesus’ name.

You have the power already on the inside of you to win. You have resurrection power living inside you (the Holy Spirit).

You have already been redeemed from sickness, poverty and lack (Galatians 3:13). You are an overcomer because Jesus has already overcome.

Greater is He that’s in you than he that’s in the world (1 John 4:4).

Believe that you are already healed, because God sent His word and healed you 2,000 years ago (Psalm 107:20). God’s word will accomplish what He sent it to do. It will not return to him void (Jeremiah 30:17).

Live by faith in God and in His word. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17).

God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:1).

Let prayer and praise to God replace fear and worry.

Meditate on scriptures often (Joshua 1:8).

Receive your healing now. Surrender all self efforts to God.

Go to God daily and ask for His wisdom and guidance. Surrender your will to him and put Him first in all you do.
