The Secret to Good Success
Good Success
Hello, welcome to this message. So, it’s actually snowing outside right now. So we’ll go over to today’s message, which is from Joshua. Today’s message is from Joshua 1:5–10, Joshua chapter 1.
So I’m going to read right now:
“No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you.”
So this is the New King James Version. And the Good News Version says:
“Joshua, no one will be able to defeat you as long as you live. I’ll be with you as I was with Moses. I will always be with you; I will never abandon you.”
That’s the Good News Translation.
So we can take out some keywords from Joshua chapter 1 verse 5. Now it says, “No one will be able to defeat you as long as you live.” That’s the promise of God for Joshua.
And mind you, God is not a respecter of persons. God does not want your enemies to defeat you if you walk in line with His word. We’re going to read further down and you’ll see everything that He said to Joshua. So if you can use this as an example and apply it to your life, realize that God loves everyone. So if God is saying this to Joshua, He’s also saying it to you.
You can actually apply it to your life if you can walk in line with the word of God, if you can take the advice that He gave to Joshua and walk with that advice. It’s that promise you can also apply to your life: no one will be able to defeat you as long as you live.
That’s what God wants for His children. God wants His children to be warriors. He wants His children to be overcomers. He wants His children to be victorious. But most of the time, we are not faithful enough to walk the way that God actually wants us to walk.
So we continue:
“Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.”
Now we see that God is telling him to be strong and of good courage. We’re still going further down, and you’ll see everything that God commanded him.
So to be strong and of good courage — that’s what God wants. And it takes strength and courage for you to walk in line with the word of God, for you to do what God wants you to do, for you to fulfill your destiny by walking in God’s plan for your life.
Because there was an assignment that He gave to Joshua. So Joshua needed courage. Joshua needed strength. And God is encouraging him: “Be strong and be of good courage.”
And that’s what God is saying to you: be strong and of good courage so that you can fulfill your destiny.
Whatever God has called you to do, whatever it is you know that God has spoken to you and said, “This is what I want you to do,” just do it.
If God wants you to be a gospel singer, do it. Be strong and have good courage. If God wants you to be a doctor, do it. Whatever God wants you to do, do it.
If God wants you to go into business, if He has opened a business opportunity for you, you don’t need to be scared. Be strong and of good courage. Just go ahead and do it, as long as you’ve heard from God.
There are certain things that God has spoken to me about, and I’m also applying that to my life. In fact, I started this year with that mindset. I don’t know — just the grace of God came upon me.
Because there were certain instructions that the Lord gave me concerning ministry which I did not implement last year. But as I was coming into this new year, I just started asking myself: “What are those things that God has told me to do that I haven’t done yet?”
He gave me certain commands. He told me certain things He wants me to do. And they are very big projects — they’re not easy at all. But I made up my mind that I was going to do all that this year, and I already started.
That’s being strong and courageous.
So may God give you the grace to start whatever it is He wants you to do. May God give you the grace to finish. May God give you the grace not to abandon it or get discouraged along the way.
Whatever it is that God wants you to do — even if it’s relocation, marriage, ministry, or business — do not hesitate. Be of good courage. Trust in the Lord and go ahead.
That’s how faith works. Faith is not magic. Faith is not an imaginary thing. You have to walk with God for your faith to work.
Any faith that does not involve walking with God, hearing the voice of God, and walking in line with that voice to activate your destiny, your success, and your victory — that is not faith. That’s just mental confession or psychology.
But you can see the way God was with Moses and Joshua. You see the way they partnered with God and walked with Him. That’s faith.
Even Abraham — when God told him to leave and go somewhere — that was faith. That’s how you walk with God. You need to believe Him and walk with what He has told you to do.
Verse 7 says:
“Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go.”
Now we’re talking about the law. God told Joshua that He wanted him to walk according to all the law.
Now, the law we are walking with now is the New Covenant law — the law of Christ.
Walk according to all the law that the Lord your God has commanded. If you go to the New Testament, you’re going to see the commandments there. And there are also some things in the Old Testament that are relevant to the New Covenant because the New Testament fulfills the Old Covenant law.
So walk in line with the law Christ has given us, the teachings the apostles left behind in the word of God.
If you want to have victory, that’s what you’re supposed to do.
“Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left.”
That is how you should walk. Your eyes should be glued to the word of God.
Do not replace the law of God with the law of man and think that it is the law of Christ.
The word of God has promises, and it also has commandments.
If you want to prosper wherever you go, do not depart from the word of God. Know the word of God thoroughly. Know the commandments of God thoroughly. Know the promises of God thoroughly, and walk in line with them.
That is when you will prosper wherever you go.
The Bible says:
“This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night…”
Meditate on the word of God day and night. Hide the word of God in your heart.
The Psalmist said:
“Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I may not sin against You.”
You need to know the truth so that you can walk in righteousness.
Then God says:
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
That’s the promise.
The Lord your God will be with you wherever you go if you walk with Him.
His presence will accompany you. His presence will protect you. His presence will fight your battles for you.
So in conclusion, it’s how you walk with God that matters.
If you walk rightly with God, you will enjoy the promises of God. God will make your way prosperous, and He will give you good success.
Who doesn’t want good success?
God is promising victory instead of failure.
So if you want to reverse failure, rejection, delay, and defeat in your life, walk with God.
Hear from the Holy Spirit. Fellowship constantly with Christ. Put on the full armor of God. Stay filled with the Holy Spirit.
That is the way you will have good success.
So I’m going to pray for you now.
I pray that you constantly meditate upon the word of God. I pray that the Lord Himself will enable you to understand His word. I pray that the Lord gives you the wisdom to apply the word of God correctly and walk in it.
May the Lord clothe you with His presence. May the grace of God be upon you. May the favor of God be upon you.
I decree favor upon your life. I decree prosperity upon your life.
I cut off every evil mark in your life. I cleanse you with the blood of Jesus and with the fire of the Holy Spirit.
May the Lord encamp around you and deliver you. May the Lord surround you as the mountains surround Jerusalem. May He be a wall of fire all around you to protect you.
May the Lord heal you of every sickness and disease.
May the Lord wrap Himself around you, saturate you, and fill you up.
May you be clothed with righteousness, light, praise, and humility.
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.
Have a good day.

May God baptise you with His fire and power for great exploits, in Jesus name, amen.
If you want to become God's untouchable, be persistent in prayer and wake up at midnight to pray.
Some witches get up at midnight to invoke the spirits of believers they want to cast spells and demons on. But many believers do not want to be spiritually disciplined and pray at midnight.
Acts 16 verse 25 says, but at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God.
A lot of believers do not want to pay the price in Bible meditation, prayer and praise to be filled with God's word and power.
A lot of believers have thrown away their spiritual armor and weapons.
Some believers are so spiritually lazy, undisciplined, docile, and lukewarm that it is baffling.
Ignorant believers feed Satan and his demons and witches through ignorance, scantiness of the word of God and stubbornness. They also feed them through faithlessness, ingratitude, prayerlessness, and carelessness.
They ignorantly think that witches and demons are their problems, yet the problem is within them. The solution is within them. The Kingdom of God is within them.
Luke 17 verse 21 says, the kingdom of God is within you.
You are not helpless. You are not a spiritual orphan because you have the Holy Spirit, the mighty man of war.
Jesus has defeated death. Revelation 1 verse 18 says that Jesus has the keys of Hades and of Death.
All power belongs to Jesus, and nothing can happen without God's permission. It is better to submit completely to God by paying the price than to constantly blame witches, demons and Satan.
Adam blamed Eve. Eve blamed Satan. Satan did not blame anyone because he knew that he did his job successfully.
His job was to test them, and their job was to obey God and successfully resist him. They failed their spiritual tests and examinations.
Jesus passed all his spiritual tests, trials and examinations.
Hebrews 4 verse 15 says that Jesus was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.
Make up your mind to pass all your spiritual tests, examinations and trials and win Satan.
Adam and Eve failed their spiritual test, examination and trial of faith and loyalty to God. God judged Adam and Eve.
Satan still has the same job of testing and trying human loyalty to God. He tested righteous, blameless Job, and Job passed all his spiritual examinations. Satan did not win righteous, blameless Job.
Job suffered so much when his faith was being tested, but he never accused God.
Job 1 verse 22 says, in all this Job did not sin nor charge God with wrong.
Learn how to fight spiritual war and stop shifting the blame to Satan and his witches and demons.
They are doing their job. It's a battle that God has commanded you to win, so fight by the rules and win. It is a battle between life and death, light and darkness.
But know that Jesus has defeated death for you. He died so that you can have life, power and grace in all its fullness.
Second Timothy 2 verse 5 says, if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules.
If you begin to blame Satan and witches, you are indirectly saying that you don't want to fight the spiritual battle.
You must make up your mind to win the battle. You can trample the powers of witches and demons if you pay the price.
Luke 10 verse 19 says, behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy.
Rise up! Wake up, great men and women of valor! Pick up all the weapons and armor of our warfare and fight! Stop sleeping spiritually.
Do not be a runaway soldier.
Stop being unconscious spiritually. Be awake in Christ. Be filled with God's word and Spirit.
Crave spiritual gifts. Put on the garment of fire and power. Be filled with all the fruit of the Holy Spirit. Be led by the voice and direction of the Holy Spirit.
Stop resisting and ignoring the Holy Spirit with your spiritual laziness, stubbornness, cowardice, and indiscipline. Submit completely to the Holy Spirit.
Surrender all to Jesus. Cast all your burdens and cares upon the Lord.
First Peter 5 verse 7 says, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
Humbly bow before the Lord and tell Him to equip you and teach your fingers how to fight and make war spiritually.
Psalm 144 verse 1 says, blessed be the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle.
Ask for His help and stop depending on your flesh.
Power is your birthright. Wake up and start putting on the power and fire of God and demons will scream and run away from you.
Witches will fear and respect the fire of God on you because they cannot withstand the fire of God.
May great grace be upon you, in Jesus name, amen.
May God make you an untouchable, in Jesus make, amen.
Receive fire and power for complete protection, in Jesus name, amen.
May God’s great power strengthen you to cut off every association that serves as a point of contact with the gates of hell, in Jesus name.
May God reveal to you the secrets of His Word and teach you how to walk continually in His divine protection and power, in Jesus name.
Win Satan by getting rid of points of contact with the gates of hell.
Point of contact is the big secret that Satan has hidden from believers.
Communication, contact, and association are the gateways that demonic people and witches use to get access to believers.
Talking, chatting and having phone calls with demonic people are demonic gateways and portals. Watching demonic people and celebrities and looking at pictures of demonic celebrities are also demonic gateways and portals.
Those celebrities know it. That is the way they obtain energy and power. That is why they love to be scantily clothed.
Watching demonic people, talking, chatting, and having unequally yoked friendships with demonic people is like falling into a pit and walking into the gates of hell.
Second Corinthians 6 verse 14 says, do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what communion has light with darkness?
If you are hungry for complete deliverance and power, cut off the demonic gates, links, points of contact and doors.
No contact is your biblical instruction and medicine.
Be watchful, be vigilant, be full of God's Word, and hear the voice and direction of the Holy Spirit.
If you do not understand and know God's secrets and deliverance secrets, you will give Satan the upper hand and space.
The Word of God reveals God's secrets.
Second Corinthians 2 verse 11 says, lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices.
God has given you complete redemption and deliverance. But you can unconsciously and ignorantly give away parts of the liberty and freedom that Christ purchased for you with His blood.
Galatians 5 verse 1 says, stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free.
Cling to your freedom and liberty.
You are not helpless. You have control. You have the authority.
Luke 10 verse 19 says that Jesus gave His disciples authority over all the power of the enemy.
But if you do not know how to apply that authority and control, you will be controlled by Satan and his witches and demons.
Satan, demons, and witches are not the problem. Your inability to know and apply God's secrets and the fullness of God's Word is the problem. Deception is the problem.
Deception and lies are their highest weapon.
To resist the devil is to reject his lies, tricks and deception.
May God show you His secrets.
May the Holy Spirit fill you with light and lead you into all the truth that sets you completely free, in Jesus name, amen.
May God visit you mightily and crown you with His deliverance and power.
There is no sickness, affliction or spell that the Holy Ghost fire and the blood of Jesus cannot destroy.
But the question is: are you willing to pay the price and pray with fervent, stubborn, persistent, fierce faith?
Master how to beg God for grace, ability, mercy and power. Don't be proud.
If you don't ask for the power of God, it means that you are proud and self-dependent. You have not learned the lesson that your flesh cannot save you.
Recognizing your need for the Holy Spirit is humility.
Hebrews 4 verse 16 says, come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Matthew 15 verse 22 says that a Canaanite woman came crying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David. My daughter is severely oppressed by a demon.
And the woman begged Jesus for the children's crumbs. And Jesus rewarded her faith. Nothing could discourage her from obtaining deliverance for her child.
James 5 verse 16 says that the prayer of a righteous man is very powerful and effective.
Pray. Pray!
Fill your heart with the fullness of the word of God, faith and the complete armour of God. And pray like you have never prayed before.
Believe in the goodness, mercy, and love of God and pray fervently without giving up, and you will experience mercy from the throne of grace.
Be very very stubborn about meditating on the word of God, prayer and seeking God's presence. That is your only protection and medicine for complete deliverance every day.
Stop using your prayer time to play and watch nonsense on social media. Stop watching immoral things that open demonic gateways and pollute your spirit.
Be very serious about spiritual power. Power is taken by force, not by carelessness, irresponsibility, recklessness and laziness.
Matthew 11 verse 12 says, the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
Spiritual power is not for lazy people.
Cry out to God from the bottom of your heart.
Cry out to God persistently day and night like the persistent widow, and don't give up.
Luke 18 verse 7 says, shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him?
Cry for the highest level of God's power and protection. Cry to God for His fire. You need fire. You were born for fire and power, not demonic oppression.
May God be a wall of fire all around you to cleanse you, fill you, surround you, and deliver you.
May great grace be upon you, in Jesus name.
Crave the fire and presence of God with all your heart. Crave spiritual gifts.
It is the fullness of the presence of God in and around you that protects you and crushes every sickness, curse and all your enemies.
The Holy Spirit constantly tells me that He wants passion-passion for His presence. You must be hungry for the power and grace of God in order to enjoy it.
Passion, thirst, hunger, need and desire are mandatory for attracting God's presence and glory.
If you do not ask, you will not receive.
The biggest mistake believers make is to depend on the flesh.
If you notice that you keep praying but never ask for the fullness of the presence of God or the full baptism of the Holy Spirit, you are praying amiss.
You are praying backwards. You are depending on your flesh. You are fighting with your flesh.
Your flesh cannot win a spiritual battle.
Romans 8 verse 8 says that those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
John 6 verse 63 says, it is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing.
Of yourself you can do nothing. Man's power is of no use at all.
Sicknesses and demons are only afraid of the fire and presence of God.
If you carry God’s fire, demons will be tormented by the fire of God that you are carrying, and they will flee.
Jesus is the presence and power of God. Jesus is all you need.
Moses knew what he was saying when he said in Exodus 33 verse 15, if Your presence does not go with us, we will not leave this place.
He understood his absolute need and dependence on God. Numbers 12 verse 3 records that Moses was the humblest man on earth in his days.
Jesus said in Matthew 11 verse 29, learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart.
Luke 5 verse 16 says that Jesus often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed.
Jesus constantly went to lonely places at intervals during the day to renew the presence and fire of God. That was the secret to His success.
He knew how to walk in the Spirit and with the Holy Spirit. He knew how to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit and follow Him.
It is the truth you know that sets you free.
Hosea 4 verse 6 says, my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
If you ignore the Holy Spirit and keep fighting spiritual battles with your flesh, you will be very weak spiritually, because you lack spiritual food.
The presence of God is the spiritual food you need. The word of God is the spiritual food for your mind and soul.
It is the word of God that convicts and convinces you to seek the presence of God at intervals every day.
You must be filled and overflowing with the Word of God before you can be filled and overflowing with the glory, fire, and presence of God.
The ultimate quest is the presence and fire of God. The presence of God is what gives you unlimited results and great victory.
Fight! Pay the price!
Pray aggressively and persistently, because it is the spiritually violent and aggressive that experience the presence of God by force.
Let absolute desire and need for the presence of God take over your mind. This is how to walk in the reality of the fullness of truth that sets you free.
Jesus died so that you can constantly taste and enjoy the fullness, power, fire and presence of God.
Jesus has given you the keys to the presence of God.
Do not waste the grace of God by depending on your own flesh to crush demons and evil. Only the presence, power and fire of God can crush evil.
Ask. Ask for the fire of God.
James 4 verse 2 says, you do not have because you do not ask.
Constantly ask for the full baptism of the Holy Spirit and renew the presence of God daily.
If you do not ask, you will not receive.
May the fire of God fill you, surround you, and consume the roots of your problems.
May God's presence come upon you and transform you from glory to glory into the highest dimensions of His power and glory, in Jesus name, amen.
This is very powerful message on what it truly means to walk with God in courage and obedience. I love the strong emphasis on staying anchored in His Word while stepping forward in faith.
