\"\"<\/a>There is a fine line between success and failure,…and very few people ever learn what that line really is, what it looks like, and where to discover it.<\/strong> People who are seriously looking to become highly successful and fail to reach their chosen level of success are always the folks who either (1) do not really know what they are looking for or else they (2) are looking in the wrong places to find it. That is precisely why it takes more than talent, physical ability, a \u201cgift of gab,\u201d or any other single character trait in order to become highly successful. There is truly a hidden secret to finding success in life.<\/strong> God Almighty put that secret deep within an individual\u2019s heart and mind because He full well knew that that would be the very last place a person would ever look to find it. This is why Success definitely is an inside-out proposition.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Now make no mistake about it, God is no respecter of persons. He loves everyone unconditionally. No man or woman is more loved by God or better loved by God than is anyone else. Consequently, at conception, The Creator of the Universe put that \u201cSecret of Success\u201d into every human being\u2019s heart and mind. You have already got it!<\/strong> But, as is always the case, God has given you the \u201cnut,\u201d however, you are going to have to crack it for yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n

Success isn\u2019t a \u201cflash-in-the-pan\u201d instantaneous situation. It is not an immediate thing that happens overnight. There is an old very true statement about life that goes like this: \u201cIt only takes 20 years to become an overnight success.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

So patience, resolute determination, desire<\/strong>, and a definiteness of purpose<\/strong> are the cornerstones of an individual\u2019s personal success. Those four cornerstones coupled with a consistent and persistent work ethic<\/strong> doing those things that are required to produce the desired results are the absolute requirements needed to enable any person to discover this hidden secret to becoming successful,…employing it,…and moving forward in their life by actually achieving their own success.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is no need to look for a \u201csilver bullet\u201d pill or capsule that you can take and quickly become an over-night success.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mental focus on the required work habits<\/strong> needed to allow success to occur is a must if one has decided to become successful. Steady on-going uninterrupted work efforts<\/strong> and staying on task<\/strong> have to come into play. The whole process begins with a dream<\/strong> (that is your own personal responsibility to develop your own dream), is followed by a decision<\/strong> that you are willing to do whatever it takes in order to turn your dream into reality and then is completed by a constant and continued correct work effort,<\/strong> for as long as it takes in order to complete the job.<\/span><\/p>\n

This process is the same for everyone and for every arena or venue being used in which to achieve your desired success.<\/strong> The whole process is the same for everyone. It is universal because God created every living thing on this earth. Therefore, His rules always apply.<\/span><\/p>\n

God\u2019s rules always trump any of man\u2019s rules.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

God tells us very openly and plainly what we are up against as we struggle, fight, change, and grow from our own infancy all they way to maturity, and then finally on into eternity. The road to success is the same for everyone…but…not everyone finds the road.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Are you ready for the Secret? Do you really think you are prepared for what I am about to tell you? Remember, these are not my words. They are God Almighty\u2019s words. They are recored in the Book of Ephesians, Chapter 6, verses 10–20 ESV:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Whole Armor of God<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

(10) \u201cFinally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His<\/span><\/strong>
\n might.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

(11) Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to<\/span><\/span><\/strong>
\n stand against the schemes of the devil.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

(12) For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against<\/span><\/span><\/strong>
\n the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic<\/span><\/strong><\/span>
\n powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual<\/span><\/strong><\/span>
\n forces of evil in the heavenly places.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

(13) Therefore take up the whole armor of God that you may be<\/span><\/strong>
\n able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to<\/span><\/strong>
\n stand firm.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

(14) Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and<\/span><\/strong>
\n having put on the breastplate of rightesousness,<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

(15) and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given<\/span><\/strong>
\n by the gospel of peace.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

(16) In all circumstances take up the shield of faith,<\/span> with which<\/span><\/strong>
\n you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one;<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

(17) and take the helmet of salvation,<\/span> and the sword of the<\/span><\/span><\/strong>
\n Spirit, which is the Word of God,<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

(18) praying at all times in the Spirit,<\/span> with all prayer and<\/span><\/strong>
\n supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance,<\/span><\/span><\/strong>
\n making supplication for all the saints,<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

(19) and also for me, that words may be given to me in the<\/span><\/span><\/strong>
\n opening of my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the<\/span><\/strong><\/span>
\n gospel,<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

(20) for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it<\/span><\/strong>
\n boldly, as I ought to speak.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Now please listen to my heart. I know there are some of you readers and listeners that have no Spiritual foundation to your life. I know that there are some of you who violently disagree with me and choose to argue with what I am telling you. I also know God\u2019s Truth of Life. That Truth of Life commands me as a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ to boldly proclaim His Truths wherever I go and whatever I think, say, or do. I am, as are many of you, merely a messenger.<\/span><\/p>\n

God\u2019s Word tells it crystal clear and without any shame….If you truly do desire to become highly successful and maintain your success, you are going to have to develop a Spiritual Root<\/strong> to your life. That is God\u2019s Way,…not man\u2019s way.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have published several other blogs covering the exact way that you accomplish developing and possessing such an all important aspect to your life. Review the archives of this website to enable you to find these published articles.<\/span><\/p>\n

Look, you simply cannot fight spiritual (internal) battles using only physical (external) techniques.<\/strong> In order to fight and win, you must learn, know, and use spiritual weaponry to victoriously conduct spiritual warfare. That\u2019s It Period! All of this information and guidance can be found, discovered, and learned from within the pages of Holy Scripture,…within the Holy bible.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is only when you first know God personally and have a living continual communication and personal relationship with Him, that you will then possess the spiritual weapons and mental and physical strength to fight the evil one, win the battle, and accomplish your own lasting personal success.<\/span><\/p>\n
