MANIPULATION
by Dr. Jeanne Sheffield Estrada
Here are some really solid practices from Billy Graham for living a successful Christian Life!
1.Read your Bible daily. Do not be content to skim through a chapter merely to satisfy your conscience. Hide the Word of God in your heart. It comforts, guides, corrects, encourages – all we need is there.
Learn the secret of prayer. Prayer is communicating. Every prayer that you pray will be answered. Sometimes that answer may be “Yes” and sometimes “No,” and sometimes it is “Wait,” but nevertheless it will be answered.
Rely constantly on the Holy Spirit. We know that the Holy Spirit prays for us (Romans 8), and what a comfort that should be to the weakest of us. Stand aside and let Him take over all the choices and decisions of your life.
Attend church regularly. The visible church is Christ’s organization upon earth. Christians need one another, we need to gather together to worship God.
Be a witnessing Christian. We witness in two ways: by life and by word – and the two, where possible, should go hand in hand.
Let love be the ruling principle of your life. Jesus said to those who followed Him, “By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another” (John 13:35).The greatest demonstration of the fact that we are Christians is that we love one another.
Be an obedient Christian. Let Christ have first place in all the choices of your life.
Learn how to meet temptation. Temptation is not sin. It is yielding that is sin. Let Christ through the Holy Spirit do the fighting for you.
Be a wholesome Christian. Our lives and appearance should commend the Gospel and make it attractive to others.
Live above your circumstances. Don’t let your circumstances get you down. Learn to live graciously within them, realizing the Lord Himself is with you.

Key No. 1: Be Content “Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.“ 1 Timothy 6:6-6
If you are content with your life, you will find yourself at peace, blessed and joyful.
Key No. 2: Do Not Compare Yourself to Others “For we dare not class ourselves with those who commend themselves. But they, measuring themselves by themselves among themselves, are not wise“. 1 Corinthians 10:12
Instead of comparing yourself to others, compare yourself to yourself. Compete with yourself. Be a better version of yourself today.
Key No. 3: Be Generous “It’s better to give than to receive”. Acts 20:35
Our human nature is focused on ourselves. However, God wants us to reflect His giving, caring character.
Key No. 4: Honor Your Father and Your Mother “Children, honor your father and mother so that it will go right with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth”. Ephesians 6:1-3
We must respect the wishes and advice of our parents to make better choices and to live a happy life.
Key No. 5: Keep The Commandments of God “For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.” John 5:3
Keep the commandments of God, and you will soon see how blessed your life will become.
These are just some of the keys to happiness according to the Bible which gives us every key we will ever need. Have you searched and found these keys? Is there a key missing that’s keeping you from finding happiness? If so, ask God to show you what key or keys you need to help you discover the happiness you may be missing. Ask Him to help you experience the joy and contentment you may be longing to know in your heart.
