Our Divine Right.} It is under covenant authority.Hbr 10:14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.Our Divine Ability. Through the word.Tts 1:3 But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committedunto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;Through grace.Act 15:11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved,even as they.Through faith.Rom 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not tothink [of himself] more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as Godhath dealt to every man the measure of faith.Through the Spirit.Rom 15:19 Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so thatfrom Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ. Feelings and fear are free! Faith must be sought out or went after. The mind willcreate expectations either good or evil based upon the consistent information it is given.Wrong information must be taken captive and identified as wrong or false.2Cor.10:4 (For the weapons of our warfare [are] not carnal, but mighty through God to thepulling down of strong holds;)2Cor.10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against theknowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; How you choose belief will determine your fear or faith of reasoning. We mustremember that our minds have been free to think anyway they desire without restraint inmost cases. It is the responsibility of a Christian to train their mind in right thinking. Icould say it this way. To think outside of or beyond the influence of senses and feelings.There is only one method of victory to this area that I am aware of and it comes throughthe association of God. It will take his word and his spirit to persuade the mind and heartto believe beyond what it is experiencing. It is Gods influence upon the individual thatmakes the difference. Zec 4:6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This [is] the word of the LORD untoZerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. Pastor Cliff

The Right To Succeed Every Christian that has ever come forth by the power of redemption through thesacrifice of Christ has the right and authority to succeed in the new life. Gods word was givento produce an expected end of fruitfulness for each individual regardless of back ground, color,nationality or education. The word of God does not know the difference between color ornationality. The word does not differentiate between child or adult male or female black whitebrown or red. The word is simply a seed to produce after its own kind for anyone who will hearreceive and allow its growth in their life. I make these statements to eliminate the idea orreasoning that would allow the excuses of any individuals that believe their circumstances orbackground would disqualify them from a full and enjoyable harvest from Gods word. Let megive you a scripture that is worthy of your time of meditation and acceptance.2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passedaway; behold, all things are become new. Take a few minutes and speak those words out loud so that you can hear them from yourown mouth. You should say over your life each day until it becomes a truth to you that you area new creature and all things are becoming new for you. You are not going to have a repeat ofyour family history or your own personal history but have started something new as a newcreation in Christ. You now have the right seeds to sow for a future and blessed life. You areright now a new creature with abilities and strengths deposited within you through your newbirth as a child of God.So excuse number one that must be eliminated is: I can not succeed with Gods word because ofwho I am or where I come from. Have you ever wondered why you would succeed or what gives you the right? Is it justeffort alone that causes success? Is it discipline and self denial? Is it higher education? Many ofGods people much like those in the world are searching for the formula and wondering if theywill have what it takes to succeed when they find it. You may be surprised to find that in all ofthese areas you will find people that are successful and unsuccessful. Methods alone can notachieve the goal of what we believe to be successful. There are no magic formulas in life onlytestimonies or excuses. Before you go getting discouraged at these statements I would like tosay all of the changes you make in life will either add to or take away from your successdepending on good or bad decisions but will not accomplish the desired success within its self. If I were to ask 10 individuals what their version of success is I would most likely get 10variations of success. Though they may have some similarities they would all vary at somepoint. The reason is that each individual is unique in what they desire. So allow me to destroythe illusion that everyone who appears successful feels successful. We can all look at otherpeople and believe that if we were living in more of their lifestyle we would be successful.

So according to the dictionary success would be either achievements or possessions. Iwant to suggest something at this point that you may have never considered. The person writingthe meanings of this dictionary is suggesting their conclusions of the word success based ontheir own ideas of what success is. What I find disturbing about this is that the only celebrationthat can occur is at the end of it all. It seems that only what can be boasted on at the end isconsidered successful. I am sure you are wondering what I am attempting to say by this timeand it is this. When we see success in this way we are deceived in its truth and feel as though wehave yet to achieve any real accomplishments of success. The other thing I would like you tosee is that if we do achieve a goal under this illusion we then believe others to beunderachievers or unsuccessful. Can I inject a thought in the area of success that a very fewpeople understand that are born again or not. The thought is this. If you have received Christyou have succeeded and if you have not you have failed up until this point in life. This understanding will determine if you act think or speak with success or failure.Mat 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his ownsoul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Success never starts until a person leaves the failure of Adam no matter how much theyhave or achieve in life. Success is much more than external circumstances. There are manypeople who have what appears to be all of the success in life with possessions or fame who areleft empty and even take their own life because of their emptiness. There are also those whohave lost what they believed to be their success and were devastated because all of their worthwas placed within it mentally and emotionally. Now referring back to the opening statements ofthis chapter[Every Christian that has ever come forth by the power of redemption through the sacrifice ofChrist has the right and authority to succeed in the new life.] I hope that I have instilled the idea that success has a foundation and failure has afoundation. The foundation of either is found in the first or the second Adam. The first Adam isa foundation of failure where the second Adam (The Christ) is the foundation of success. There are those who reach the end of their life and believe they were successes because oftheir accomplishments or assets but in reality only produced the boastful pride of life. They mayhave even been generous or kind and supported charitable foundations. The harsh reality is thatthis life was at its best a temporary environment for them. I could say a temporary achievementof effort. The works that were done while in the body will face the judgment of motivesattitudes and what most never consider obedience to Gods purposes and will.Gen 39:3 And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all thathe did to prosper in his hand.
