Growth or increase that will last is usually preceded by change. Changes have to take place if you will be all that God wants you to be. The scripture in Luke 5:1-11 tells us of the experience that Peter had with Jesus. Read the passage to refresh your mind with its contents. Peter said "Never the Less to thy Word"... and went on to do what Jesus said and had a miracle that he had toiled for without results. Sometimes it is not a lack of knowledge about what to do that produces a lack of results. Though sometimes that is the case. Always doing what Jesus says produces. It is the demand that doing what He says places on us that causes us to do otherwise. This is because doing what he says demand change in us that is sometimes contrary to our preconceptions or ideas. It demands our faith and dependence on Him. That kills our pride and independence. The flesh doesn"t like that. Remember the man who built his house on the rock had to dig deep through the flesh to remove pride to build on the rock. This is especially serious when we think we know what to do and when what we know is not what He would want us to do at the time. We are too busy to fellowship with Him in His Word and Spirit so we just do what seems right to us and wonder why we don"t get the results we expect to get. What I have discovered is that if you don"t give yourself to the right changes, you leave yourself open for experiences to force changes on you. Joseph went through changes that brought him into the state of preparedness for his destiny. Some of the things you are going through have the potential of preparing you IF you embrace change and allow the process to fulfill its purpose. If there is any naughty area of your life then settle it with God to get the solution from his Word and change your mentality accordingly.

Wisdom Key: Changes have to take place if you will be all that God wants you to be.
