Focus Forward - Philippians 3:13-14
As we prepare to enter another NEW year, it’s imperative that we FOCUS our attention FORWARD. Yes, I realize this is many times easier said than done, but I also realize that this one step is vital for our future.
Though we hear this scripture quoted a lot, I think we often neglect to really grab hold of the practical application of this Word in our lives.
13Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Are you forgetting those things in your past?
Are you pressing toward your future?
I am.
Well, sort of.
Day by day, this is my prayer.
No matter what type of personal crisis you may have endured in your distant or recent past, know that God is THE God of your future. Every promise, every magnificent dream, every unachieved goal can still manifest in your life, as you FOCUS your attention FORWARD.
That’s right.
Choose to forget the past.
Choose to move on, even if this means you have to rejuvenate and renew your mind, day by day. Choose to FORGET those things of the past that weighed so heavily on you, they nearly wiped out your future.
Choose NOT to be distracted by past failures of any kind.
Accept where you are today but catch the revelation that though you accept where you are, you don’t necessarily have to agree with where you are or agree with your current state. Especially WHEN you know God has shown you a greater future that is the complete opposite of what you’re experiencing right now.
Accept God’s perfect purpose, plan & destiny for your life. Realize that a part of this plan, included some dead things in your past, which God had to kill off, as you sacrificed those issues to Him.
Now, let God be God and FOCUS ON YOUR FUTURE DESTINY. Focus on every PROMISE yet fulfilled and focus on that prize that awaits you.
As you do this, I guarantee you’ll experience a lot more peace and you’ll see a lot more manifestations of EVERYTHING you believe God for.
Listen in to our Power Prayer from this morning Dec 3, 2008 & be blessed!

SPEAK YOUR VICTORY!
Speak Your Victory!
Proverbs 18:20-21
Greetings!
Last week, I explained the importance of Seeing Your Victory during this season of your life, as you prepare to move into a new year. (1 John 5:3-5 and 14- 15) Now, it's time to connect what you see, with what you SPEAK.
ARE YOU SPEAKING LIFE TO YOUR SITUATIONS?!
That's right; you have to SPEAK YOUR VICTORY! If you're able to truly SEE YOUR VICTORY, now more than ever you have to SPEAK YOUR VICTORY, into existence. You have to activate the creative power on the inside of you and speak forth, what God is allowing you to see.
After all, words hold the properties of life or death!
Proverbs 18:20A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. 21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
What kind of fruit are you digesting daily?
How often do you have to pray that potentially poisonous seed will be removed from your system?
God literally spoke creation into place.
3And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
6And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
9And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
11And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
12And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
14And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
20And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
24And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
26And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Now it's time for you to create your future and SPEAK YOUR VICTORY into creation. Allow the spirit of God that lives on the inside of you to speak as God and speak forth His perfect, purpose, plan and destiny for your life.
Indeed, He has caused you to see victory. Now, take it to the next level and speak it forth!
Speak forth those top 5 prayers you are believing WILL manifest in your life and commit to speaking them forth at least 3 times a day. Imagine if during your lunch break, you simply meditated on what you're believing God for and begin to SPEAK YOUR VICTORY, every day over lunch, through creative decrees and declarations.
Speak Your Victory and watch LIFE come forth!
As Always
Enjoy Life & Expect Success!

See Your Victory! 1 John 5:3-5 and 15-15
As we prepare to close out one year and begin another, it is imperative that we all PUSH THROUGH with FERVOR! I don't know what you may be going through but I do know God is saying, "SEE YOUR VICTORY!"
Need Prayer?
This is not the time to give up or question what God is calling you to do. Yet, this is the time to PUSH, PRESS & PURSUE, your destiny. If you need spiritual support in pursuing your destiny, please join me and my friends for an intimate time of prayer every Monday and Wednesday at 6am EST. That's 5am CST and 3am PST
Here's where God led us this week. As you have the opportunity, I encourage you to read 1 John 5. Right now, I'll concentrate on a few key verses.
3For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 5Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
If we truly believe in God and in His promises that ARE ours, because of the great sacrifice of His Son, Jesus, VICTORY IS OURS! We are overcomers. No matter what the situation is or may be, it IS NOT, too big for our God. Every battle we will ever fight, is rigged in our FAVOR! Our God has INDEED overcome the world and because we are born of God, we TOO can walk in this VICTORY!
However, as we walk in our victory, there are certain prerequisites that will help us achieve victory, faster; the main one being, our BELIEF. There is no use going to God, in prayer if we don't really believe He is THE God who answers prayers.
13These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. 14And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 15And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
Do you believe God can answer your prayers?
Are you confident that when you pray, God will come through for you?
I am!
If you have any doubt, please know that God wants to give you clarity. He wants to see you SUCCEED and walk in VICTORY! As you close out this week, here's a practical application, I'd like you to try.
Practical Prayer Application Tool
1.Get a sheet of paper or index card and write down your top 5 prayer concerns
2.Next, begin to visualize yourself walking in VICTORY in these areas.
3.Every day, in your quiet time with God, visualize the VICTORIOUS end result that you are BELIEVING God for.
4.Declare and Decree VICTORY in those areas EVERYDAY!
5.Make sure you mark the date you create this list and as the weeks go by, note the date, that you see the manifestation of your God birthed prayer results.
If you're interested in praying with me and my friends, please accept this invitation and join us any Monday or Wednesday you're led to do so. Ask God to give you the discipline to rise early and seek Him, regularly, no matter what.
You'll see the difference and YOU'LL SEE YOUR VICTORY!
