So what better strength or influence can we have outside of an almighty God? A God that‘s full of wisdom and Love. He’s the one who created the earth in six days and still had time to rest before the week was over. So let’s take a look at performance, this is a process to becoming stronger and more confident. You must control your life, claim your own rights and take full responsibility of your actions. Before you can increase your perception you must learn how to manage concepts. Where can I go from here or what do I have to gain or lose from making this decision. Remember if you make your bed hard you lie in it. So are there political steps to empowering one’s self? Certainly it is, anytime you go for power or position you must be equipped with military knowledge. What do I mean by that? You must be willing to fight and understand your cause. The battleground is the mind so if it’s not a sober mind, you probably will make the wrong decision. With this biblical truth, “the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord” (Psalms 37: 23) , you have your God given authority in His word which states that you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you, (Philippians 4:13). That verse in itself has enough capacity to remove you from the earthly atmosphere called here into a heavenly realm called there. That place has the capability to elevate you from a level of poverty to a dominion of prosperity.

The definite state of one’s well being must have the ability to dwell in a spiritual cocoon long enough to become the butterfly. This process is called transformation. “Be not conformed to this world but be ye transformed by the renewal of your mind …..” (Romans 12:2, KJV).

Positive influences can come from your Pastor, a community leader or someone that you trust as your mentor. You must be willing to pursue the man or woman that belongs to you called self. I know coming from a good church meeting or a good transformational meeting, I am fired up. It can just be a good conversation with someone who has more knowledge than you would have for what you are pursuing or with an elder who is strong in their faith and wisdom that can help increase yours.

Get your head together, lift it out of the mud, and set your face to look toward the hills from which cometh your help, your help cometh from the Lord (Psalms 121:1). Don’t miss out on another opportunity that you know can change your life. So you must be rough enough and tough enough and plain old mean enough to believe. Believe in a power greater than yourself so that something spiritual can take place in your life. You must be tired and dizzy from spinning around. Believe me when I tell you, this is not impossible. I don’t care what you’ve been told. Gird up your loins, get you some courage and let’s go. Go where? Let’s get in the ZONE baby, in the flow. In the mental state of operation in which a person performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of Energized Focus called The Empowerment ZONE.
