The first condition for prosperity is accepting Jesus as Lord and personal savior. The second is by working hard. The Apostle advised that those who do not work should not eat. Working is important. You cannot be lazy and hope things will fall in your favor. The third is that your purpose for desiring wealth must align with God’s will and purpose.
The number one proof of a spirit filled person is stability under any circumstance, not being controlled by their feelings, emotions and their carnal mind and exhibit the fruits of the spirit.
The helmet is what protects your thoughts from lies. We are dealing with the wiles of Satan; his lies, schemes and deceits attack our minds to believe his lies and not the truth in Christ Jesus. The helmet protects your head and your head represents the center of activities for every human. If something happens to your brain, you will lose the ability to do things rationally. Your helmet protects your soul and heart; from where all the issues of life come from.

“When you hear God’s instruction, listen, know it, meditate on it, believe it, say it with your mouth and then act on it. This is how to respond in faith; “Faith response”.
God is the Blessing from Whom all blessings come. We must therefore learn not to focus on the blessings and forget the Blessing. Where God is, the blessings flow. Without God, we can’t get any blessing; when we discount God, we will not succeed.
We need the Holy Spirit’s guidance when we pray. Life is too complex for us to go through it alone. We need Him to teach us what to pray and how to pray. God guides, instructs, and anoints us to pray and we have this confidence that when we pray in Jesus’ name mixed with our faith in Him, He answers
As believers, we need to know what we are up against and the fact that it is not a physical confrontation but a spiritual battle; the devil’s schemes and mind manipulations. The devil glories in despotic acts such as dissolving marriages, suicidal tendencies, destruction of careers, and so on. The way to deal with these acts is to fight and keep your faith;
