We must position ourselves in the place of purity and humility so that the Lord may entrust us with an impartation of divine wisdom—the wisdom from above. Ask God to release a greater wisdom, as we are instructed to do in James 1:5. Ask the Holy Spirit of God to awaken your heart and life to understand that every born-again believer has a purpose destined by God that is connected to advancing His Kingdom in the earth. Much of the favor of God that we experience is tied to whether or not we are living our life pursuing that purpose.
"Besides this, you know what [a critical] hour this is, how it is high time now for you to wake up out of your sleep (rouse to reality). For salvation (final deliverance) is nearer to us now than when we first believed (adhered to, trusted in, and relied on Christ, the Messiah). The night is far gone and the day is almost here. Let us then drop (fling away) the works and deeds of darkness and put on the [full] armor of light. Let us live and conduct ourselves honorably and becomingly as in the [open light of day, not in reveling (carousing) and drunkenness, not in immorality and debauchery (sensuality and licentiousness), not in quarreling and jealousy.
But clothe yourself with the Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah), and make no provision for [indulging] the flesh [put a stop to thinking about the evil cravings of your physical nature] to [gratify its] desires (lusts)" (Romans 13:11-14 (AMP).
We must clothe ourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ and believe with the highest expectations in the flow of the love of Jesus into our heart so we can bless and disciple others into their Christ identity.
