(2) When you trust in God, you will discover your purpose.

(3) We (God's followers) completely ELIMINATE business risk, when giving our service to others, for God's promise is that we get back a multiple of what we give.

(4) You have to be a good receiver. When you trust God, you faithfully receive all that was promised to Abram (then Abraham), and his seed, Christ, without any physical work to help bring about this promise.

(5) As Christians, we have duty to produce ourselves to world as healthy, joyful and prospering individuals, with complete peace of mind, only found in Christ.

(6) With our advancement into wealthy status, we are to provoke rebellious Jews and rest of world to jealousy.

(7) Only when you have sufficient funds to your avail can you live your life to fullest and spread love and kindness to as many people as you can reach.

(8) You are to receive your increase through other (nonbeliever) people into channel of barter (products & services for products & services), or exchange (money for products & services) you have established.

(9) According to your desire to live large or not so, you must set standard of giving and receiving money.

(10) You must use wisdom you learn every day from bible and spiritual teachings (intuition) with which God opens door for you spiritually bringing you great wealth and riches. Every one of us can decide how large we want to live, and begin giving large in order to receive increase from multiple sources.

(11) The more abundance you expect and demand in your life, wealthier you become. Broaden your abilities to receive what God has in store for you and pray. See www.telechurch.org (All about Believer's Entrepreneurialism®) for mechanics of prayer. (Mark 11:24. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.)

(12) You have to establish a channel within existing economic system, meaning that your J-O-B won't cut it. You must be in business for yourself.

(13) You cannot expect blessings onto work of your hands to benefit you, if your work benefits your employer. You must OWN your own business. Thus, God is blessing work you do and your employer expands and gets richer.

(14) You must go out in faith, and completely without fear, and establish your own business, creatively, based on your personality.

(15) You are not to buy risky shares in other people's businesses, but to expand your own business and leave it to your heirs. (Proverbs 13:22. A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and wealth of sinner is laid up for just.)

(16) You have to teach your children what you know about business. (Proverbs 22:6. Train up a child in way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it.) They are NOT supposed to work for a (non-faithful) employer.

(17) Your relationship with God decides over your way of life. If you are in right standing with God, you live in an exalted position of favor and preferential treatment in regards to wealth.

(18) When you become willing to receive a lot of favor, which is dependent on your hearing wisdom of bible and God's promises, you are enabled to live and rule like a king, or queen

(19) Always follow a successful role model. The greatest entrepreneur and most powerful leader of all times was Jesus. Not only did he encourage his followers, he performed miracles for them. As a carpenter and builder, he organized, managed and assumed risks of his daily business. His 12 entrepreneurial disciples were trained for 2 years in management. His messages are still being passed on.

(20) Once you are wealthy, world will listen to you. Now it is time to preach Gospel to each person with whom you come into contact.

(21) By God's law, you are not permitted to judge any one, condemn another person, but you are obligated to FORGIVE.

(22) With Christ's death before his resurrection, you no longer owe God a debt. Your sins have been forgiven. The curse that was pronounced to Adam is no longer. You now enjoy dominion over earth again.

Stars on a late summer night are like diamonds in a velvet sky. Slice open a bell pepper from garden, and you're likely to find tiny pale-green peppers growing within. It's as if Nature hurries to replicate herself while there's still time.

Like squirrels that store up their winter food supply, we may busy ourselves cleaning up, clearing out, readying our homes for colder weather. Or we may spend long moments weeding a flower bed, allowing our thoughts to drift to unknown places. We wonder where summer went -- how could it pass by so quickly? It's almost as if we didn't notice.

Nature gives us little choice but to let go of one season and get on with another. As I soak up last rays of summer sun, I recognize all over again that seasons are a metaphor for Life. We, too, must "let go" before we can move ahead.

Letting go is an interesting concept. It's a technique used not only in skillful fly-fishing, but in life. We let go of fear, of past, of possessions, of a lost love. We let go of anger or a problem relationship. We let go of our children as they mature into their own lives, and when someone we love dies, eventually we let go of grief. In Alcoholics Anonymous and Al-Anon, there's an expression: "Let go, and let God." And in end, we must let go of life itself.

More people in their 50's, 60's, and older are on meds known as anti-depressants than you might imagine. I attribute a lot of middle-age depression to feeling that so many seem to have,and have expressed to me, that they look back on their lives and ask, "Is that all there is?" This seems to ride in tandem with, "But there was so much more I wanted to do!"

Begin today. Rekindle a few old, perhaps ancient dreams. You always wanted to play piano? Sign up for lessons. If you lost ten pounds, you think you'd feel more in shape? Buy a brightly colored sweat suit and take low-impact aerobics. Attend a Weight Watchers group and count your food "points." Enroll in a tole painting class. Find a continuing education class at local high school or community college about Using Internet, or making pottery, or learning to quilt. Check with your public library and learn how to join a group of local writers who meet regularly to discuss creative writing.
