When I think of the word “successful” the first person who comes to mind is someone who continually radiates inner peace, love, and joy. I’ve been fortunate to have numerous friends who do that. You, too, can be a person who radiates real success.
Begin partaking of the fruit of the tree of life. Live beyond human analysis and human desires. Continually surrender your heart and lifestyle to the presence of Christ in you and to the 9 aspects of spiritual transformation that His Spirit wants to produce in you–love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
Quit consuming and building your life on the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Lean not to your own understanding. Human analysis is a dead-end street. It can tell you how nature works, but it can’t tell you why nature exists.
Human analysis leads to self-righteousness. It falsely makes you think that you’re out of Egypt–that your life is free from the dominion of evil. “God, I thank You that I am not like other people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.”
God’s Spirit wants to remind you that you desperately and continually need the love, forgiveness, cleansing, and healing that comes from the blood of Jesus and the resurrection life of Christ in you, the hope of glory. “God have mercy on me a sinner.”
Halt your analysis. Let God replace your thoughts with His thoughts and your desires with His desires. Let Him lead and direct you moment by moment by His Spirit.
Not everything that’s called love is love. Listen to the voice of God in your heart. Obey your conscience. Stay in line with the revelation God gives in the Bible.
