Make Up Your Luck

Luck is an orchestrated success. Our successes are wrought through multiple targets that must be hit in order to produce the desired outcomes. Sometimes perfection seems to be a mandatory requirement to compete and gain victory over those who hold back our inheritances. Whether evils are sourced from the spirit world or from the human mind, we must always be vigilant against them lest they rob us of what is ours. Matt 5:48 (Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father who is in Heaven is perfect). Like stairs that take you to a height step by step, the success that one expects in the future is built through different steps. And each step requires the right choices. Whether one is a genius or not, true knowledge and enlightenment come from Heaven to the mind through the spirit. If one is enlightened, then the right path to success can be assured.
The input one has to invest in order to be enlightened to do the perfect thing is love. So, on every step of the stair, tests may come which require us to choose to love. Love is not something to laugh about or take lightly. Real love has been demonstrated by the True Lover on the Cross. He has also left us a message that this cross is to be carried by us every day of our life. Love is put into practice through the cross. That is why most of the time it is a challenge for the will to walk in love. You win the fight between your success and failure beforehand by choosing to love through carrying the cross. If you carry the burden (not the kind of burden that results from sin, but that which is suffered for the sake of humbleness and gentleness as stated in Matt 11:29) then tomorrow awaits you with an orchestrated success which can be called luck. You earn luck by first making the ego lack its urges. The ego is always in a hurry for self-serving. It does not care if people get hurt or if their hearts are broken. In fact, sometimes it might even pray for the downfall and failure of others.
The cross is a place and a time to trample the ego so that the will can exercise love freely.
(1 Pet 4:1 — Therefore, since Christ suffered in His body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin).
It is always preferable to partake in the lesson the Holy Spirit puts in our way. If we forbear His path through patience and humility, as Jesus did when He was on the way to His Crucifixion, then we will bear the fruit of life and light that will eventually result in success. But if we react with arrogant and ego-justified responses, then we might not be imitating Christ, and life may place us on a path where harsher and more humiliating experiences force themselves into our lives. Not only this, but the successes and achievements we expect might not come true due to a lack of enlightenment.
Luck is a Choice

So life provides you with a choice: to walk the easier way toward perfect success, or the harder way toward imperfect success mixed with possible failure. It is always better to cooperate and work with God, humbly carrying the relatively light burden. You have to outshine by revealing the glorious inner person through compressing the ego by the cross. Otherwise, the reverse may occur if we fail the test that comes our way. The saddest part is that failing to follow Jesus Christ in this way results in two consequences. First, fate may throw us into a miserable situation where we spend a long time in fruitless suffering with a blinded mind, useful neither to God nor to anyone. Second, the blessing and honor we expect, wrapped inside our success, might not come true, and our heart may be left with sadness, leaving us in a lowly and feeble state.
Heb 10:29 — How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?
So life is more like luck, because it all depends on God’s goodness rather than on our own power to control what is coming.
So what is in this cross that is related to love? Love is to give and to forgive those near you. The Scripture does not ask us to go outside and find someone to be good to in order to complete the burden of love. No, instead we are specifically commanded to love our brothers and neighbors.
Matt 22:39 — And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
Yes, the very people who may annoy us are the targets of love. It is the small things that really count and decide our fate. The gentleness and patience we show in disputes, the longsuffering we bear when mistreated, and the kindness we show in faith are all manifestations of love that bring great reward. This is the key of life—a formula to grow in power and prosperity. Do not assume that without obeying God you will gain anything. Instead, fear the judgment that may follow. It is enough to see how serious God is about His commandments by reading Deuteronomy 28.
Light is what enables us to do truly amazing things, and darkness is what leaves us in suffering and failure. Just look at the physical eye and notice how it makes it easy for the body to carry out its tasks. Now imagine the body without light—the eye would not see, and life would be trapped in darkness with great difficulty moving forward. God’s light is the same for the mind. It helps us make the right choices and accomplish great things. Through heavenly light we see the horizon with a wide perspective in wisdom, allowing us to choose what is ours. Not only this, but the powers of heaven back us up to ensure that we do not waste time in achieving our goals. For this reason, our tomorrow awaits us with success already wrought. Isaiah 26:12 — Lord, you establish peace for us; all that we have accomplished you have done for us. We simply enter a battle whose outcome has already been decreed. That is what real prophetic promises are: victories that are won before the fight even begins. So please God today by loving joyfully and carrying the cross, and tomorrow light will be commanded for you to help you step into your destiny, where you can clearly see prosperity and life laid out for you to receive.
Opportunities To Be Lucky

Every hour and every second God is in the midst of your life, working to help you through your faith. Therefore, see things from all directions. Little things you ignore could be doors leading you to a better and safer path. In every opportunity you get, please God through your virtues. Gird your waist to be active in manifesting kindness and gentleness. Whenever someone seems to be in need of your help, do not be reluctant to cooperate. And if someone appears hot-headed or disrespectful toward you, take it easy and show a gentle attitude, even though at times it may be hard to endure the pain. Yet you can convince the mind about the fruit of longsuffering and kindness so that the heart may remain firm against any wrong reactions. In such moments, as you act with volitional compassion and patience, Heaven declares success and life for your next step. As you move forward, it is already decided that you will achieve your target; you will not go back in circles, but instead you will climb the ladder of life, putting on health and happiness through your faith. Eternal life, miracles, power, grace, love, faith, and the cross are all connected. You start with faith and with faith you carry the cross to love. And as you love you grow in grace. The grace develops to a power or the anointing. And with this power you perform miracles to yourself as well as to others. At the same time, this power, received from the Holy Spirit and the touch of Jesus Christ, lets you taste the sacred heavenly eternal life which eye has not seen nor ear heard.
So once you enter into a business with God in such a covenant, God will be serious about helping you walk in the path of your destiny—a path filled with adventurous excitement that fills your heart with eagerness as you live, enjoying today and expecting great things for tomorrow. But this is not all; God also carries out His Kingdom’s business through you. You will be His proxy as you serve Him directly or indirectly. Whatever you engage in will not be only about you, but also about Him. Every now and then, alongside the exciting life, you will also be expected to walk carrying the cross so that the path between your spirit and your mind is blocked by the ego and its deeds. The ego is short-sighted and risks tomorrow by choosing to please itself today. The cross, however, clears the way between the two worlds by sweeping the ego aside step by step. You crucify the fleshly disposition now, and you secure tomorrow with an assured blessing of success—what may be called luck.
So choose to be lucky, because it is always possible to be.
