god: Allowing a Great 2012 - 01/04/12 12:30 AM
If your looking to have a great year all around in 2012 it might be time to get out of your own way! Yes, you might be the one that is holding yourself back from your dreams, goals, health and abundance.
I have been spending time evaluating my 2011 and preparing for a great 2012. I started the evaluation in early November of 2011 and made some quick adjustments that led to a good end of my year and a good start to 2012. Basically there where a coupled simple things I needed to do:
1) Get out of my own … (11 comments)

god: Put the Fruits of the Spirit on Display - 08/13/09 12:02 AM
"But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!" (Galatians 5:22-23)
How can I put the FRUITS on DISPLAY throughout the day?
Look at these:
1. Love
2. Joy
3. Peace
4. Patience
5. Kindness
6. Goodness
7. Faithfulness
8. Gentleness
9. Self-Control
Is there any reason not to want to exercise these all the time of possible? Impossible to do you may say?
Take time to work on just one of these today. Perhaps go the extra mile to … (7 comments)

god: Inspiring Scriptures - 08/09/09 06:45 PM
I was looking through several scriptures that I find real inspiring and wanted to share them:
1. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. (Phil 4:13)
2. For nothing will be impossible with God. (Luke 1:37)

4. For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. (1 John 5:4)
5. Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. (Psalm 37:4)

god: Rejoice In The Goodness Of God - 08/08/09 11:36 AM
For many people its a habit to focus on whats not going there way and all the things wrong in the world! The challenge with that sort of thinking is that you normally attract more of the same into your life. I have been there before and that is not a good place.
I have learned a better way and that is REJOICING IN THE GOODNESS OF GOD! There is so much good around us! We have so much to be thankful for! Look around and notices this!
Start thinking about the good things that are happening! I do this with … (3 comments)

god: Sometimes You Have To Be FORCEFUL - 08/06/09 11:54 PM
I am a real laid back guy (easy going). I am normally in a peaceful state of mind. I thank God for teaching me how to get to the peaceful state of mind. I do not like to cause stress for other people and I like to solve things quickly with ease and agreement.
BUT SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO GET FORCEFUL (IN A HEAVENLY WAY).
"I tell you the truth: Among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater then he. From the … (8 comments)

god: Be Merciful - 08/02/09 08:57 AM
Whenever you have the opportunity to BE MERCIFUL do it! Great are the returns for the giver and the receiver.
"Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy." (Matthew 5:7)
At one time or another we all have done something that is out of line with GOODNESS and LOVE. Very often its those situations that teach us the love of God. This is especially true when someone that we wrong makes a decision to show grace and forgiveness.
The emptiness that many people feel in their body and soul no is a lack of mercy and forgiveness for their fellow … (12 comments)

god: Its Good to Think Thoughts Of Prosperity - 04/17/09 10:50 AM
I have become a very PROSPERITY CONSCIOUS PERSON! This takes practice, time, effort and persistence for many people because perhaps, like me, you were raised around a "poverty mindset."
Poverty mindsets may come from thinking that God does not want you to be happy, rich or abundant. Or perhaps that its more spiritual to be poor. Many churches still sort of teach that or for sure they stay away from the PROSPERITY teaching because they don't want to upset the elders.
I think that PROSPERITY is misunderstood if you think its something that is bad or out of your reach. Its … (4 comments)

god: Hope-Faith-Trust - 03/31/09 03:15 PM
I was thinking about these three words this morning as I was working out. What must I first have to move toward the GOOD I desire in life.
It occurs to me that if you don't have HOPE its really hard to have FAITH or TRUST in anything. HOPE seems to be the entry point to things NEW and GOOD!
If you are looking for things to turn around start by finding HOPE, and not wishful thinking type of HOPE. Instead look at what you would really like to have happen and HOPE that things can turn out for the better. … (6 comments)

god: No GOOD Thing Withheld - 03/14/09 08:04 AM
No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly. (Psalm 84:11)
I am sharing this verse because I believe in an economy like this a lot of people feel God is withholding GOOD from them. You can feel stuck and sometimes feel disconnected because maybe your prayers are not being answered the way you want.
You should know to walk uprightly means to trust and keep moving forward with your head held high no matter what is happening or has happened in your life.
Maybe your finances have been turned upside down because of lack of sales or equity … (6 comments)

god: Life Wants To Take You Higher! (Part 2) - 03/12/09 11:27 PM
Have you ever thought that you are RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO BE IN LIFE!
If this economy or the Real Estate market has you down you may not feel that way. You may feel terrible because you or others you know are losing their house or have someone close to them that is ill. How can this be good? How can I be RIGHT WHERE I AM SUPPOSE TO BE?
I wrote last week that Life Wants To Take You Higher! ... but are you will to let it?
"For it is God who works in you to will and … (3 comments)

god: Think of Yourself as the Pitcher... - 03/05/09 11:55 PM
As I look back on my life I notice that I have always put a lot of pressure on myself to make things happen. Whether in sales, finances, relationships, fitness I had always felt it was up to me to MAKE THINGS HAPPEN. Perhaps you know this feeling.
Basically I would go out each day trying to hit the HOMERUN. The problem with trying to MAKE IT HAPPEN each day is that you can STRIKE OUT a lot. With the new economy this HOMERUN approach can leave you or me frustrated, confused and wondering, "WHAT IS MY PROBLEM?" Because we try … (7 comments)

god: I AM...outside the box! - 01/26/09 10:08 PM
Let me share this word of the Lord with you:
"Study this Book of the Law continually. Meditate on it day and night so you may be sure to obey all that is written in it. Only then will you succeed. I command you --be strong and courageous! Don not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:8-9)
Outside the box is where we need to look for GOD. Not inside the box. God is not limited. God is not sick, broke or afraid. All the answers to your success are available … (9 comments)

god: Live Life To Its Fullest in 2009 - 12/31/08 09:56 PM
Its time to experiencefullness of life in 2009! It sounds a little too good to be true, but as I was thinking about this tonight the solution came to me. Its a solution that has always been there for you and I. We seem to ignore it and press forward doing our own thing as if that has aloud us FULLNESS...
2009 means FULLNESS of life for me and for you! Perhaps you have written some goals and thought about some changes you want to make.

god: Do Not Worry... - 10/10/08 11:12 PM
Matthew 6:25-34 says it best:
So I tell you, don't worry about everyday life- whether you have enough food, drink, and clothes. Doesn't life consist of more than food and clothing? Look at the birds. They don't need to plant or harvest or put food in barns because your heavenly Father feeds them. And you are far more valuable to him than they are. Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? Of course not.
And why worry about your clothes? Look at the lilies and how they grow. They don't work or make their clothing, yet Solomon … (5 comments)

god: Peace of Mind - 09/07/08 09:52 PM
Finding PEACE OF MIND is key to living an abundant life. If you want to raise yourself to a higher level of awareness PEACE OF MIND is definately the place to start.
How do you find PEACE?
God is a God of peace. He freely give us peace when we ask him. We receive the PEACE that God gives when we go around with a good attitude (an attitude of faith). A good attitude is not complaining about your problems to God. Its not whining to other people about your problems either.
PEACE can be found in … (4 comments)

god: Think The Truth - 08/26/08 07:48 AM
To think the truth you of course have to know the truth. The truth may actually surprise you? Some of you may not agree with the TRUTH.
Lets look at the market. You hear the reports on the news that the economy is suffering and the housing market is down, you believe it and start acting accordingly by tightening up your spending and preparing for less sales in the coming months. By doing this you tell yourself the truth is the economy is bad and its a struggle to sell houses.
However, the TRUTH is not that. Jesus said that … (6 comments)

god: Watch Your Focus - 08/25/08 10:09 AM
We do bring about in our lives what we focus on. I was talking with someone this morning and they are doing some of the things I coach people on, but as they were explaining their situation I caught something.
Even though this person is doing good things that will lead to good results - they had a BLOCK. This block is blocking their good. This agent mentioned he had ONE deal pending and that is just how it is and that's what he keeps thinking about...THE LACK OF SALES.
So even that he is doing a lot of other things … (3 comments)
