Spiritual Foundations:\xa0It's Not About Your Faith

\u201cI have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.\u201d
Galatians 2:20

When you are working up your faith, trying to believe for some miracle from God\u2026 working to increase your own faith could be standing in your own way. Why?

If you are focused on your own faith, you're focused on your self.

Don't\xa0trust in your own faith, but\xa0in the faith of\xa0Jesus. His faith is perfect. And the Bible says He is the Author and the Finisher of your faith.

When you're focused on Jesus, you'll be open to receive His goodness and His grace.

The answer to all your prayers is to rest in Christ, depend on His faith, and you'll get the breakthrough you need.

So what is the \u201cMaster Skill\u201d for business success? The skill that, when you acquire it, can actually trump and erase many, if not all, of your other shortcomings?

I believe the \u201cMaster Skill\u201d is that of Strategic Communication. Most communication is done at the tactical level; the most powerful communication is guided by strategy.

Here are 5\xa0keys to more strategic communication.

  1. Know the difference between strategy and tactics.
  2. Clearly define the strategic objective of your communications.
  3. Understand and use the principle of Focused Attention.
  4. Develop a framework for all your communications.
  5. Practice relentlessly: results, recap, refine.
