"Re-Parent" Yourself (Part 1)
March 09, 2016 05:00 - 11 minutes - 5.34 MBOne of the keys to transformation is experiencing agape—or unconditional love. Unfortunately, many people have never experienced this from their parents. This is not an excuse to blame our parents, as most of them were doing the best they could with the information that they had. Nevertheless, in order to fulfill your destiny, you still need to experience the essential components of unconditional love. In the absence of agape love, most people will spend their entire lives trying to prove the...

The Dangers of Self-Pity (Part 2)
March 08, 2016 05:00 - 10 minutes - 4.85 MBRepeatedly the bible tells us that Jesus was “moved with compassion.” An English translation of that term is “pity.” Godly compassion is designed to move us to action to help others, but when we consume that compassion by obsessively focusing on ourselves, it becomes self-pity. Satan’s goal is to have us engaged in a daily pity party, so instead of using our gifts to serve people, we worship our problems. This is a very dangerous practice.

Defeating Discouragement (Part 2)
March 04, 2016 05:00 - 11 minutes - 5.24 MB“Dis” means to move away from. The word discouragement means to move away from courage. One of the primary ways that Satan discourages us is through failure. We need to recognize that failure is an event/experience—not how we’re defined. It is critical that when we experience failure we do not personalize it, but use it as a learning experience so we do not become discouraged. When we experience failure it is imperative that we do three things: (1) Have the right perspective – God is not surp...

Count the Cost (Part 5)
March 02, 2016 05:00 - 12 minutes - 5.56 MBWe live in an era where people fail to count the cost. Most people get very excited about starting, but few count the cost to see if they have enough to finish. Finishing well is one of the most difficult—but important—things to do in life. These sentiments were echoed by both the Apostle Paul in 2 Timothy 4:7 and Jesus Christ in John 19:30. In order to finish well you need to calculate the cost in advance. There are five main areas where we have to count the cost: the pace of life, pains of ...

The Law of Expression (Part 2)
February 24, 2016 05:00 - 9 minutes - 4.54 MBThis law of expression states that whatever is expressed is impressed, and whatever is impressed is then expressed. So for example, if you say something to yourself in a positive and uplifting fashion, that statement is impressed into your subconscious mind and will be expressed later on. This is why Proverbs 4:23 says: “Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.” The key to using this law is to make sure that what you express is consistent with what you want...

Temptation, Tests & Trials (Part 4)
February 22, 2016 05:00 - 11 minutes - 5.33 MBWhen we read the scriptures we often come across terms that most saints do not have a clear working understanding of: temptations, tests, and trials. Consequently, they intermingle these terms and come up with some very inaccurate conclusions. Your Christian life and your perspective will become very confusing if you do not understand the difference between the three. For example, if your bible-based belief is that God will send cancer to you to test you, why would you even attempt to receive...

How to Face Life's Challenges (Part 4)
February 16, 2016 05:00 - 7 minutes - 3.48 MBMany of us in the United States have fallen prey to a Western version of Christianity that states that we will never have any challenges, problems, or difficulties. However, based upon how I read the scriptures, that simply is not true. Now let me be crystal clear: I am not suggesting that we should have a defeated mindset, because Jesus conquered every difficulty we would face as part of the finished work of the cross.

Beware of Distractions
February 10, 2016 05:00 - 10 minutes - 4.8 MBJames 1:12 –15 says: Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death. In ...
Make Your Life Count (Part 3)
February 09, 2016 05:00 - 12 minutes - 5.55 MBWhen our time here on earth is over, in the final analysis, we all want to feel like we have made an impact. All of us want to feel like when we die, we will be missed, and that we have left a mark that cannot be erased. In my judgment, the way you make your life count is to make sure that you are doing something that has a Kingdom Agenda. By Kingdom Agenda I mean that we have fulfilled God’s reason for sending us here. In order to understand this better, we need to examine Ecclesiastes 3:11:...

Learned Helplessness
December 14, 2015 05:00 - 12 minutes - 5.73 MB"Learned Helplessness" is a term that comes from an experiment in which mice were put in maze but there was no way out. After wandering around and trying to get out, but finding no escape route--no matter which way they went, the mice eventually gave up and stopped trying. But the deep thing is that when the mice were placed in a new maze with an exit, they remained hopeless and helpless and believed that there was no way out, even when the exit was right in front of them! Their belief syste...
