Watch this video AGAIN!
Happy Tuesday!
I bet you’re wonder why I got lazy this morning and reposted yesterdays video instead of making a new video for today!
Here is why I’m asking you to RE-WATCH yesterdays video and RE-READ yesterdays written blog: because it’s too GOOD and too MUCH for any one of us to effectively process in ONE DAY!
Really, when I powered up my computer this morning, that video was still on the screen, staring me down! So I figured, what the heck I’ll watch it again… and WHAM, I realized THAT VIDEO was BETTER TODAY than it was yesterday!
Try it and you’ll see! Watch it ONE MORE TIME! This time, actually intend to follow its suggestions!
For the past two weeks, I’ve been attempting to lead this tribe towards a life of FAITH instead of FEELINGS.
On Sunday, I said the following to the people of Destiny Family Center:
“If you’re looking for another year of hard toil and little results… than BE EMOTIONAL… and keep fighting your own battles, with your two fists and your big fat brain! If you want to try one more year in your own human strength… and you’re not yet sick from all the tossing about… then keep on striving and negotiating!”
I said we have become:
- Far more spiritually engaged in our circumstances!
- Far less dominated by our shifting feelings!
- Far more forward propelled, by learning how to LIVE BY FAITH!
I started to explain HOW a person can actually live by faith on a practical level.
- By SEARCHING for specific verses concerning your unique circumstances!
- By MEDITATING on the word of God until these specific verses become a tangible part of your lives!
- By STANDING on the substance of scripture, despite how you might initially FEEL!
- By GENERATING emotions out of your spiritual position… to FEEL as you believe, rather than to FEEL as things appear to be going!
- By HAMMERING through your obstacles with FAITH, and biblically inspired actions… until circumstances shift in your favor!
Yesterdays 7 Step Best Week Plan was a practical follow up to that teaching. It’s a simple 7 step formula for getting into a position of FAITH.
This morning, I wrote the following Facebook status update… and received a very powerful reply from Jamee Rae Pineda! Check it out!
This is even better today than it was yesterday! I LOVE IT! I want to live everyday to the fullest and enjoy every minute of it! Praying everyone has the best week ever!!
