“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”
2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV)

DECEMBER 30 - To evolve means: to gradually acquire new traits or characteristics. In order to improve in any endeavor, we must be willing to acquire new traits and skills. These new acquisitions cause us to excel above the rest. Always remember: The excellent get ahead during the times that the mediocre waste.

We must spend any spare moment to improve our relationship with God, marriages, friendships, or our personal character. Our time is precious, and time is the price we must pay in order to see our lives continually improve.

Father I thank you that I am a new creature. Old things are passed away, behold everything has become new. I am righteous because I am in Christ and Christ is in me.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”
2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV)

DECEMBER 12 - To evolve means to gradually acquire new traits or characteristics. In order to improve in any endeavor, we must be willing to acquire new traits and skills. These new acquisitions cause us to excel above the rest. Always remember: The excellent get ahead during the times the mediocre waste.

We must spend any spare moment to improve our relationship with God, marriage, friendships, or our personal character. Our time is precious, and time is the price we must pay in order to see our lives continually improve.

• Why are people unwilling to evolve?
• Why don’t people want to change?

There are two reasons that I have discovered over the course of many years of ministry. The first reason is that people have a fear of failure. Ask the person who tried to overcome a negative habit in the last few years why they gave up. It is because they continually failed and don’t want to go through the pain of acknowledging their unwillingness to overcome that way of life. The second reason people don’t want to change is because they don’t know how. The desire is there, but the teacher to instruct them is not. I am focused on one thing…change. When people come around me, they have the desire to change things in their lives. Why is that? Because that is how it is with God. The moment we got saved, He has been changing us and He has not stopped since.

Father, I thank You that I am a new creature. Old things are passed away; behold, everything has become new. I am righteous because I am in Christ and Christ is in me.

“He must increase, but I must decrease.”
John 3:30 (KJV)

AUGUST 6 - Like a careless match setting a house wildly aflame, ultimately rendering it into nothing but a useless pile of rubble, it is only a matter of time before we see those who have yet to commit their life to God cry out for help. Although they may have all the worldly possessions one could want, in reality, their life is little more than a brittle heap of scorched ash.

God always begins His strategic work on the inside before He ever manifests the final product on the outside. True progress is when one commits his or her life and plans to the Lord, allowing Him to exclusively lead. And as soon as you commit your work to the Lord, somehow through Him, your plans begin to favorably succeed.

Choose today to give God not part, but your entire life. He deserves it, doesn’t He? God desires to make you great; all He requests is your heartfelt compliance! John the Baptist said (and we must do the same), “I must decrease and He must increase.” That means the more we pursue God, the less we desire the pleasurable
things this world offers, thereby allowing the progression of His will to be accomplished.

Father, I choose to decrease so Jesus may increase in my life.

“The governors reported to the vice-regents, who made sure that everything was in order for the king. But Daniel, brimming with spirit and intelligence, so completely outclassed the other vice-regents and governors that the king decided to put him in charge of the whole kingdom.”
Daniel 6:1-3 (The Message)

JUNE 11 - Read again how The Message says in Daniel 6:3, “…Daniel…so completely out-classed the other[s]…” That’s pretty impressive. I hope the same can be said of me. Do my spirit and my attitude put me head and shoulders above others? It is erroneous to think that we can accomplish all that God has planned for us without becoming the absolute best we can be in our chosen field of endeavor. The Scriptures tell us that we are to do everything as if we were doing it for the Lord Jesus Christ. We actually contradict God’s Word when we allow ourselves to slump into mediocrity or just-good-enough performances.

Once Joseph was fully persuaded that Mary would give birth to the Messiah, he did his best as an earthly Jewish father—carefully watching over mother and Son, taking the Child to the temple, and following God through specific dreams. God demanded Joseph’s best, and His grace empowered Joseph to accomplish it. God’s life within us demands our very best, and His grace empowers us to give it!

There is no way around it; God wants our best, and that’s what will take us to the next level of:

• A place of promotion
• A sphere of influence
• A life of prosperity
• A new area of fulfillment

Make the choice to move in the right direction and embrace change in your life.

Father, I thank You for pouring out Your grace on me to help me become my absolute best in the areas to which You assigned me.

Stronger Everyday - Confession CD

Dear Ladies,

In the times we live in, the temptation for us is to become weaker in most areas of life. Pressure to compromise is coming from every direction. God’s Word encourages us to stand and be strong in the Lord and the power of His might. Philippians tells us to press toward God’s mark. The Proverbs 31 woman is energetic and strong. Now is not the time to grow weary in well-doing.

Our strength is from the Lord. As you listen to and confess these scriptures you will be empowered with strength and able to face the pressures that come your way.

My prayer is that you grow STRONGER EVERY DAY.

Enjoy,

“Again, the kingdom of Heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.”
Matthew 13:44 (NKJV)

APRIL 17 - I came to the realization that I greatly value my relationships because I am willing to give up my own pursuit of greatness in order to bring greatness to another. And, to this day, when I recognize that greatness is coming out of an individual, I tell him, “Your best years are ahead of you! And I’m here to multiply who you are and never bring you a day of grief.”

I also discovered that if I actually bring out the best in others, they no longer have to work, strive, and push so hard for themselves. They can begin to sow in confidence instead of guardedly protecting themselves, stringently holding on to what they have. Interestingly enough, now they look to see what they can do in my life. And because they now sow, they actually begin to truly reap. This is the greatest value that I could ever bring to a person’s life.

Taught to reverence parents, the aged, the handicapped, and strangers far above their own selves, each Jewish parent often reminded and taught his children that by giving value to others (no matter who they were) they would be blessed. Teaching these types of attitudes brought out the best in the children, and the entire community would ultimately reap—a small price to pay.

Daily Confession

Father, I thank You that the Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure in a field, which I find and hide and for my joy over it, I go and sell all I have and buy that field.

Sculpting Your True identity - CD

It took Michelangelo six years to carve one of his greatest works, the magnificent statue of King David. When asked why his masterpiece took so long, his reply was simple: “Once I found a slab of marble that I could see David in, all that was left was to chip away everything that was not David.”

You are God’s masterpiece. God placed something great within you that no man can take away, no circumstance can assail, and no words can destroy. The key to unveiling your true potential lies in learning how to chip away everything that is not a part of who God called you to be. Join Dr. Robb Thompson as he shows you how to become God’s masterpiece – whole, polished, and created anew in Christ Jesus!

“So then, since Christ suffered physical pain, you must arm yourselves
with the same attitude He had, and be ready to suffer, too. For if you are
willing to suffer for Christ, you have decided to stop sinning.”
1 Peter 4:1 (NLT)

FEBRUARY 15 - The saying, “No pain, no gain,” has proved true throughout time. In health, wealth, knowledge, and personal development, many attempt success without paying a price. God never promised us an easy road to attain His will for our lives; in fact, His presence creates (and actually stimulates) the pain of pronounced growth. Remember, the Father prunes those who bear fruit so they might bear more.

The apostle Paul tells us, “I harden my body with blows and bring it under complete control…” That doesn’t sound pain-free to me. If there was anyone who knew about pain, Paul did. Although he served the Lord and walked a life of obedience, pain was not absent from his life.

Are you aware that pain and peace often securely join hands? The peace surpassing all understanding flows from our spirit, though we may have physical or emotional pain. When everything seems to go wrong, God’s peace causes us to see our situation through the omniscient eyes of Heaven. Growing pains are inevitable. But we must choose to embrace pain, arming ourselves with the refining effect it has on us. Our reward is worth any pain we must presently endure.

Father, I thank You that I arm myself with the same attitude Christ had, and I am ready to suffer. I work diligently to attain what You desire for me.

“He who walks with wise men will be wise,
but the companion of fools will be destroyed.”
Proverbs 13:20 (NKJV)

JANUARY 24 - Have you ever stopped to consider how lightning is made? The negatively charged water of a thundercloud fatefully meets positively charged atoms in the air, forming a path between the cloud and the ground. Billions of negative charges rush down this path, meeting positive upward charges that potently heat the air, resulting in the superheated glow called lightning. When lightning occurs, it may be fascinating, but unfortunately, it is often fatal.

In the same way, we are exactly like those with whom we associate. There are no greater limitations placed upon an individual than those brought about by negative relationships. When God wants to bless you, He sends a person into your life. When Satan wants to destroy you, he too sends a person into your life.  therefore, it is vital to have guidelines to enter into relationship with others. Not everyone is called to be our friend. If there are specific qualifications to enter into relationship with Jesus, shouldn’t we hold the same requirements for our relationships with people?

To have positive relations with others, we must become the person we want to attract. If we attract the disrespectful and those who negatively walk in sin, we must take a closer look at ourselves and see what we need to change. Become principally based; stand mightily for principle and keep yourself safe from those the enemy sends. The moment others begin to walk by the same principles is when they walk with us. Two are better than one (two positives that is), for two have a greater reward for their labor than just one.

Daily Confession

Father, I thank You that I walk with wise men, and so I will be wise.
I progress in life because I choose to spend my time with those who pursue You.

“How shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed and keeping watch [on himself] according to Your Word [conforming his life to it].”
Psalm 119:9 (AMP)

JANUARY 8 - Erroneously thinking that the untimely death of his only son was God’s punishment for his sins, America’s fourteenth President, Franklin Pierce, refused to use a Bible at his swearing-in ceremony. Little did President Pierce realize that the Word of God was the very thing he needed—if only he had taken the time to conform his life to the very Bible he so bitterly ignored. If we merely apply a scripture to a situation when it arises, we can’t expect to see growth, change, or mind prosperity. Instead, we must cause our lives to fastidiously conform to God’s Word, as it is the only constant we will ever have in our lives.

In Matthew 16:19, Jesus made a fascinating statement. He said, “And I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven…” Notice the phrase, “the keys of the Kingdom.” He did not say “the key of Heaven…” Why is this significant? I could hold the key to your house in my hand, but that doesn’t mean I have the keys of your house. It is true that the key to your house would allow me access into the front door, but then I might find that every door inside your house was locked. I want more than the key to your house—I want the keys of your house.

In the same way, Jesus wants you to experience more than just entry into Heaven. He said, “I will give you the keys of the Kingdom.” In other words, “I want you to experience, in this life, every treasure and promise hidden inside My Word!” Make the decision to conform your life to His Word.

Father, I thank You that I no longer try to apply Your Word to my life,
I now begin to apply my life to Your Word.

“Commit your work to the Lord, and then your plans will succeed.”
Proverbs 16:3 (NLT)

“And my blessings are for Gentiles, too, when they commit themselves to the Lord.”
Isaiah 56:3 (NLT)

JANUARY 4 - No one desires to go through life without making significant progress. God placed within every person a craving to succeed. All of us want to get better, do more, and help others achieve their dreams. Those desires are given to us by God. Nevertheless, progress is only guaranteed to those who choose to commit their lives to Him, having cut, scraped, and eroded away the very core of their old lives.

It is only a matter of time before we see those who have yet to commit their lives to God cry out for help. Although they may have all the possessions one could want, their internal lives are in shambles, crumbling away into particles of raw dust. God always begins on the inside before He ever manifests on the outside. True progress is when one commits his life and plans to the Lord, allowing Him to guide and lead his steps. As we commit our work to the Lord, our plans succeed.

Why not choose today to give God not part, but your entire life? He deserves it. God desires to make you and I great; all He requests is our compliance! When presented with the possibility of losing everything he had worked for so tirelessly, John the Baptist said, “I must decrease and He must increase.” That means that the more we pursue God, the less we desire the pleasurable things this world has to offer, thereby causing great progress to be made.

Daily Confession

Father, I thank You that I commit my life and my work to You,
and You cause my plans to succeed. I receive the blessings You have
for me because I commit my life to You.
