James 3:16-18
16For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. 17But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. 18 Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.
• The enemy is working on trying to get us in strife or thinking wrong thoughts.
Galatians 5:16 – 26

9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me-put it into practice. And the God
of peace will be with you.
• Don’t hold on to junk.
• If anyone says something negative about you, listen and evaluate, but don’t get into offense.

29Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that
It may minister grace unto the hearers.
• We are not called to tear down anything.
• Contrary to what God says is evil thinking.
• Evil thoughts coming out of our mouth undermines our Team.
Ephesians 4:16
16From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself
up in love, as each part does its work.
• Every one of us has a position. We are part of a Team.

“Covenant of Increase”
“Think Outside The Box Of Containment”
Psalm 115:12-14 II Kings 4:1 Matthew 13:44, 45 Matthew 19:19 -22
• You must position yourself for the blessings of God
• The challenge today is that people do not know what is inside their house
• You are never going to get rich working for somebody else
• You have to put yourself in the position to where you are the employer - Not the employee
• Employees are the “E” people – “E” people hang around other “E” people
• So they never break out the box to “B” and “I” people (Big Business and Investment)
• You must learn how to break out the box of containment
• Satan’s job is to contain you – To keep you bound to the system
• The system will keep you broke, busted, and disgusted
• If you really want to be rich – Take three piggy banks
• 1. Savings 2. Investment 3. Tithe
• You decide what to put into the bank, consistently everyday for the rest of your life
• If you do this – No one can hold you back
• Every person should have four revenue streams
• You need to be working everyday on building your four revenue streams
• Be the Captain of your ship – You determine which way your ship will go
• By the course and the destiny that you choose - What you choose to do or not to do
• You have to work at putting yourself in the position of being the Captain of your ship
• God wants to bless you and bless through you – He has got generations on His mind
• He wants to bless through you so that - He can bless your children for generations
• If you don’t get the right mindset – You will stop the generational blessings
• There are three kinds of people in the world
Those who are wondering what is happening
Those who are watching what is happening
Those who make things happen
• A key to success and prosperity in your life – Being on a search for where you want to go
• Then being willing to invest everything that you have – To get where you want to go
• Two things about your success you need to understand
Learn how to sell
Learn how to buy
• What do you have in your house? – That is your question
• What’s in your house will determine - What is going to happen in your life
• The miracle is not in what you have – Your ability to sell will bring prosperity
• Take your hands and put them to work
• God will bless all that you put your hands to do

1Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 2As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. 3And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away. 4So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.
• Our fasting and prayer time must include ministering to the Lord.

• When lust comes, it brings sin with it.
• No sacrifice for God will go unrewarded.
James 1:14 - 16

• Do not err.
• Lust only has one agenda.

• We have to come against pride and deception and the strongholds associated with pride.
• We must pray with the authority of Jesus.
• We must take authority and loose the spirit of pride, deception, and its strongholds.
• When you are praying for someone, you should pray, “By the authority of Jesus, I loose that spirit of pride and I bind their will to the will of God.”
• We must derail the spirit of pride by our prayer, confession, and the Word of God.
• If you don’t break the spirit of pride, that person is going to live a defeated life.
• Everyone deals with pride. If anyone denies that fact, they are not telling the truth.
• Pride never goes away, it always comes back.
• Pride will block your blessings.
• Many great people have lost everything behind pride.
• We must work with our men/women regarding pride.

Exodus 20:9-17
9Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. 12Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 13Thou shalt not kill. 14Thou shalt not commit adultery. 15Thou shalt not steal. 16Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
17Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
• Our greatest sin is covetousness (covetousness is unrestrained or wrongly desirous of wealth and possessions, greedy.)

9Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. 12Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 13Thou shalt not kill. 14Thou shalt not commit adultery. 15Thou shalt not steal. 16Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
17Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
• Our greatest sin is covetousness (covetousness is unrestrained or wrongly desirous of wealth and possessions, greedy.)
• We must not covet.

Romans 12:1-2
1I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
• You cannot fully renew your mind without prayer and fasting. It encompasses denial.
• We must be disciplined.
• The more you discipline yourself, the greater the reward.
• The world wants us to conform to its values and flesh wants to do what the world does.
• G12 men and women are part of an elite team and it requires self denial.
• Fasting is absolutely required.

Matthew 6:17-18
17But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; 18That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.

Matthew 17:20-21
20And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. 21Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
• The enemy will fight you from fasting and prayer.
• 5 areas: Household Salvation, Revival, Avalanche of Favor, Financial Breakthrough, Deeper Relationship with the Holy Spirit, and whatever else you are believing for.

II Chronicles 7:14-15
14If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 15Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.

• If you are going to be a strong man or woman, you must continuously seek God’s face.

• We should read the Word every day.
• Fasting helps bring forth more changes more quickly than your doing.

II Samuel 12:16

• Who we give our attention to, gives us their attention.
