The millionaire mindset is about retraining your brain about success, wealth, and prosperity. Christians seem to have a problem when it comes to prosperity. Why? Because they do not understand what prosperity means. Prosperity is a wholeness word. It’s not just about money. 3 John 2 tells us, Beloved, I pray that in every way you may succeed and prosper and be in good health [physically], just as [I know] your soul prospers [spiritually]. This prayer encompasses a) Success; b) Wealth, c) Health, and d) Mindset. God is thrilled when we succeed. He told Joshua how to ensure his success Read More

Positionality: Obedience
Positionality defines who we are, including all of our identities, lived experiences, realities, truths, traumas, and thoughts, and influences how we perceive everything in the world. I’ve been working on materials for a class I am teaching this weekend and thinking about how our position affects not only our students but everything we choose to do in life. What positions, beliefs, opinions, or realities do you hold dear that are outside of God’s directive? God cares about the everyday decisions we make. When He told Abraham to leave everything and everybody he knew and go to a place that He Read More
Precision: God’s Directive
Precision is one of God’s main attributes. Have you noticed that everything He tells someone to do is very precise? In Genesis 6, He told Noah how to build the ark. He described the process with great precision: “Make yourself an [e]ark of [f]gopher wood; make in it rooms (stalls, pens, coops, nests, cages, compartments) and [g]coat it inside and out with pitch (bitumen). This is the way you are to make it: the length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits (450’ x 75’ x 45’). You shall make Read More
FAITH WORDS: What’s in Your Mouth?
Faith WORDS are words you speak that are anointed by the Holy Spirit to perform an action. GOD SAID are specific faith words that created ‘everything by Him and for Him’ (Colossians 1:16). Be firm in your faith [against his attack—rooted, established, immovable]. Stand firm in faith. You have been operating in the realm of fear. It’s time to start operating in the realm of faith. What roots you in times of battle? FAITH WORDS. In 1 Samuel 17, Goliath was stalking the armies of God. Every day, for 40 days, he would show up and yell threats at the Read More
Resist Him: You are Being Stalked!
Resist him. So obey God. Stand up to the devil. He will run away from you (James 4:7). Resist means to exert oneself so as to counteract or defeat or withstand the force or effect of something or someone. Last week we started a series entitled ‘You are being stalked.’ Our primary scripture, 1 Peter 5:8 tells us, “That enemy of yours, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion [fiercely hungry], seeking someone to devour” (AMP). This week we will continue with the second strategy used to defeat the stalker. We must resist the enemy’s attacks against us. How Read More
Identity: It’s Important to God
Identity denotes who someone is, the name of a person, or the beliefs that make a particular person different from others. Our names are a specific part of our identity. When Daniel and the other Hebrew children were taken into captivity in Babylon, their names were changed. These boys were, “Children in whom was no blemish, but well-favored, and skillful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science, and had the ability in them to stand in the king’s palace, and whom could be taught the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans.” (Daniel 1:4) It was customary for Read More
