The secret to happiness

"But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does." James 1.25

It is impossible to walk in sin and be free. The spirit of sin has trapped its victims so that they cannot understand the reason for so much unhappiness.
Disorder, indiscipline and rebellion are elements of injustice that have prevented freedom. Freedom of life, of conscience... Consequently, even with the world at their feet, yet the slave of sin is unhappy.
That is why God, in creating man, also established righteous laws that, once practiced, leads to a life of freedom, peace within yourself and especially with God.

Determination

"The Lord of hosts has sworn, saying, 'surely, as I have thought, so it shall come to pass, and as I have purposed, so it shall stand.'" Isaiah 14.24

This thought teaches a secret to those who are loyal, obedient to the voice of faith: the determination in thought.
Yes, all those who are sealed with the Holy Spirit are able to think and determine what they want to happen.

Your faith saves you

"But Jesus turned around, and when He saw her He said, 'be of good cheer, daughter; your faith has made you well.' And the woman was made well from that hour." Matthew 9.22

It was not Jesus who healed the woman with the issue of blood, but her faith in Him. Here is the secret of miracles. The assurance that Jesus will do what He promised. "Surely, He took upon Himself our infirmities and carried our sorrows upon Himself..." (Isaiah 53.4).
It works like this: As you read this text and believe that your infirmities have ALREADY BEEN CARRIED IN THE BODY OF JESUS​​, THEN YOUR FAITH WILL ALSO SAVE YOU!

IT SHALL BE WELL

"Blessed is every one who fears the Lord, who walks in His ways. When you eat the labor of your hands, you shall be happy, and it shall be well with you."     Psalm 128.1-2

Fear and obedience of His Word are the secret to happiness.
Fear of God is respect, consideration, zeal, reverence and devotion to the Almighty, Eternal and Sovereign Lord God.
This behavior, summed to the practice of His Word, inevitably equals His consideration towards the faithful.

MEDITATION

"...you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous and then you will have good success."     Joshua 1.8

Meditation in the Word of God is the secret to prosperity and success. That is the advice God has for His children.
The Bible seems foolish to those who are lost, but it is the power of God for His chosen.
You shouldn't only read the Bible, but meditate in all it's messages.

TEETH AND NAILS

"But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience."        Luke 8:15

Only 1 out of every 4 people that hears the word, bears fruit.
Out of every 4 who hear the Word of God, only 1 keeps it and gives good fruit.
What is this person's secret of success?
They listen and practice, listen and practice, listen and practice...
In other words, they fight, persevere and defend their faith with teeth and nails, even if they have to go against the world all by themselves.

KEEPING THE FAITH

"By your patience, possess your soul."     Luke 21.19

The devil is persistent. He tries, tries, tries and continues trying to corrupt the heart and conquer the soul. The secret to defeat him is to resist, resist, resist and continue resisting at all cost. It is better to remain in the Kingdom of God without a boyfriend, without a husband, without family and without friends, then it is to have the whole world at your feet and lose your soul.

TENDER MERCIES

"Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Your loving kindness, according to the multitude of Your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions."     Psalm 51.1

Every sincere prayer has an immediate answer. Especially when it's from a sinner who is repentant. Look at David, for example, who sinned greatly and God still forgave him. The same is true for you too. 
The Secret: sincerity and faith.

ALWAYS

"Let your garments always be white and let your head lack no oil."
    Ecclesiastes 9.8


It is difficult to live in a world that is so entangled in sin and yet maintain your garments white. However, it is not impossible. The secret behind maintaining yourself pure in an impure world is fearing the Lord and obeying His voice. The more sinful you are, the more effective God's power is. 
The Almighty never asks for something that is impossible to do.

Hidden

"He reveals deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, and light dwells with Him."

Daniel 2:22

In the same way that one needs to dig the earth for precious stones, so is the Word of God, hidden treasure. Even in darkness, if sought, its Light is revealed.

Cup and table

"You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord’s table and of the table of demons."

1 Corinthians 10:21

There's no way to share your life with two lords! Some people try to divide their life in three: Jesus, the devil and himself. The secret of your soul's salvation is in the definition of your faith in the Lord Jesus.
