I would like to share with you a three-step formula for success in applying spiritual principles to your life and ministry. This was given to me years ago by a great man of God. I have tested and proven them many times over.

If you will take these truths and apply them seriously, you will have success in every area of your life. Nothing can hold it back from you. Every Christian endeavor, no matter what it is, will succeed when it is backed with this kind of prayer and dedication because God Himself is behind it.

1. Find the will of God in your situation by prayer and meditation in the Word. You have a right to know God's plan for your life. God's Word is His will. While you are seeking God's will, ask questions of others if you must. Whatever may be involved, find God's plan for your life.

2. Once you have determined what the will of God is, confer no more with flesh and blood. Don't ask any more questions. Don't seek any more advice. Don't hesitate. Just look to the Word and stand firm on it.

3. Get your job done at all costs. If God has called you to do it, then with God you can do it. You are capable of doing anything the Word says you can. You are what the Word says you are. Therefore, you can get the job done no matter what the cost.

You may find yourself many times in a position in which it will look so much easier to follow anything else other than the Word. Don't do it! Put God's Word first place in your life and allow it to be final authority. I promise you success.

All of heaven's resources - Almighty God, Jesus of Nazareth, the Holy Spirit, all the hosts of heaven and everything in the Bible - promises you that you will get your job done! And God will be glorified in you!

Now I pray that the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. (Heb. 13:20-21)
