THOUGHTS OF CONQUERORS

There are people who believe that being humble is passing needs, being poor economically, but in the scriptures there is no mention of God's chosen in a state of poverty or mediocrity, Abraham was a rich man, Isaac, Jacob, King David, even when God brought the people of Egypt, they had cattle, gold and silver, which makes me think that poverty is a bondage, and Jesus came to make us free from all yoke.

Your mind and your thoughts are important to be able to experience the prosperity, the abundance, the freedom of God. Paul said that we have to renew our thoughts in order to experience the good, pleasant and perfect will of God. As a Christian, what sets you apart from the world is your way of thinking. When you begin to think differently, to have the right perspective of life, you separate yourself from the rest of the group, and you can begin to experience what God has for you.

One of the things you should take care of is your conversations. Slave-minded people talk about other people, rich and millionaire people talk about ideas. So, when you begin to arrange your conversations, you begin to approach economic prosperity. Take calculation of the time you spend pending things and people, and not the revelation from God.

The people who progress in the economic area, are people who affirm themselves towards the future of victory and blessing; they are people who learn to ask the right questions and to affirm themselves or to declare themselves towards the future they want. People with a slave mind ask the wrong questions, and their statements what they do is degrade them, stop them, and not promote them towards the prosperity and economic freedom that God has for them. So, if you want to start experiencing times of economic freedom in your life, you have to change the questions and the statements you make.

One of the wrong questions you can ask yourself that demonstrates a slave life is: Why is this happening to me? As soon as you ask this question, your mind needs an answer, and it will not necessarily find the right answer; You will probably find the incorrect one. The mind is going to tell you that you are living this difficulty because you are mediocre, because God is not with you, because this does not work. The correct question should be: How do I get out of this situation? And your mind has to start looking for the solution to the problem so that you can achieve that great victory. So, your questions and your statements of faith towards your life, make a big difference.

In Numbers 13, the Word tells us about the twelve spies that Moses sent to the promised land. They started talking well, and ended up talking badly about that land; and these people could not enter the promised land. When Caleb realizes where the conversation was going, he interrupted; but it was then that those people began to speak ill of that land. Caleb wanted to avoid that, but they insisted on speaking badly of that land, and they could not enter. Two million people died in the desert, simply because the statements, the questionings that these people made, were mediocre questions. Only two people managed to enter, Joshua and Caleb, those who had a different attitude, those who declared different things. It is not that your circumstance is going to change from one day to the next, sometimes it takes a while, but if you start to change your questions and your affirmations, eventually, your circumstances will change. If you continue asking the wrong thing, you will stagnate in the same cycle of poverty and curse that you are living.

How wonderful when they began declaring that that place was certainly prosperous, great; and how sad when you know what God has for you, which is good, wonderful, but it is you who prevents you, who stops you, who paralyzes you, you get out of what God promised you.

It is interesting the contrast of what happens later in the book of Joshua. Neither in Exodus nor in Numbers could the people enter the promised land. Joshua sends two spies, but not to spy on the promised land, but to spy on Jericho. Moses sent to spy on the promised land. Joshua sent to spy on the city that they were going to conquer; those spies were with the mentality of military strategists, they went to see the weaknesses that Jericó had in order to conquer it. Moses made the mistake of sending spies to a place where they could not appreciate; he thought he was going to motivate them to inspire, but sometimes, trying to inspire people, we stop because there are people who are not able to see abundance. Those people traveled the earth for forty days, and it was too much for them. Joshua took them to see Jericho, and those two spies what they were looking for was a military strategy. Those spies heard what Jericho thinks of the people of Israel, and gave their report to Joshua.

These two arrive in a city, but arrive saying: The whole earth belongs to us. They saw Jericho, but declared: The whole earth belongs to us, we are going to conquer it. And this is a big difference. The giants of Moses' time were the same that Joshua had to face; the difference is that, on this occasion, there were men who declared and affirmed the right things, had the ability to declare what God was going to do with them.
