The first step with gaining knowledge in the Lord is by reading the Bible each day. You should have a quiet devotion time with the Lord for at least 20 minutes. Most people start with either the book of Genesis and read the entire bible. Read the bible out loud if you really want to have a impact on the enemey.

The second step with gaining knowledge in the Lord is by prayer and fasting. You should fast only if you feel that God is calling you to it and then it should not cause problems with your work and other areas in your life. If you fast be ready to feel hungry but know that you are growing and getting closer to the Lord. If you have medical problems you should clear it with your doctor before fasting. Praying is something that sounds easy but yet so many struggle with or don’t find the time to do it. All that you do is talk with God and give him your needs/wants/struggles. Talk as if someone was in the room with you because he is and he is listening to everything that you are saying. You can pray anytime that you want and for however long you want. Jesus is there waiting for you to do just that.

The third step with gaining knowledge in the Lord is by thanksgiving and praise. It can be very easy to get caught up in feeling sorry for yourself because you are struggling with money. There are others who complain about everything but yet do nothing and because of that you won’t see anything positive come from it. Give thanks to God even when you are going through a hard time. Praise him for your clothes that you have on, for the roof you are under, praise him even when you are going through a hard time. It is hard to do sometimes but know that he loves it when his people praise him.

Reading the bible, prayer and giving praise plus thanksgiving should be done on a daily basics. Now Satan will try and discourage you from doing it but that’s why you should make up your mind that you are going to do it and stick with it no matter what happens.
