Prayer will always tip the scale in your favor. Before Esther went before the king, she prayed and the scale was tipped. Before Jacob approached Esau who had sworn to kill him, he prayed and found favor in the sight of his brother. When Nehemiah wanted to build the wall against all oppositions, he prayed for months and then spent 52 days building from scratch to finish, wow! Prayer gave him favor and speed. When you pray, life answers to you.
The ministry of the Holy Spirit. You must grow in intimacy with him. You may not go to any school to learn certain skills but He is the spirit of wisdom, knowledge, and power. He puts you in a realm beyond mental or physical exertion; It is not by power, nor might but by God's spirit.
The ministry of the prophet/fathers. Your spiritual father or prophet is like an archer and you are like an arrow; he is the one who shoots you beyond your current horizon. Don't get to the point where you begin to feel too proud to be corrected or instructed; no arrow has ever been able to shoot itself. There can be no Joshua without a Moses nor an Esther without a Mordecai.
Faith. The super cannot function without the natural, so also the natural needs the super to become supernatural. Success has two sides. It is both participatory and providential. God supplies the inspiration and you do your part by stepping up on your performance by faith. If you have faith and you believe, then you can do all things.
