Financial miracles WILL take place. Jobs WILL be found. Our Bodies WILL be made whole & sickness WILL flee. Marriages and relationships WILL be restored. Family members WILL find Jesus. Heartbreaks WILL be healed. JOY WILL be restored and HOPE WILL be found. In Jesus Name. Amen!!!!!! Keep God First…….

George Bernard Shaw says something that I thought was was worth bringing to your attention because I think it is quite profound.
He says progress is without shame, progress possible.
You cannot this and expect the it is impossible to have progress without change.
And those who cannot change their minds cannot change the profundity of their statement is quite profound because the reverse is also true.
If those who cannot change their mind, cannot anybody change their mind can change everything under the other author, author too much energy.
Dexter trying to change other people’s minds, trying to convince them of my motives and my thought and that I it was wrong.
I didn’t realize decision didn’t alter my destiny.
You don’t have to like me, for me to be blessed.
You don’t have to like me in order for me to be, you don’t have to agree with me in order for me to succeed.
More energy and changing when I should have spent energy changing for as a man thinketh as a man in his heart.
So is he not think of as a man?
So it’s I realized that the power was in my own mind I did not pay attention to the verses that in the scriptures where I said it is with the mind that we serve the Lord.
I didn’t recognize that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God.
For the pulling down of strong holds, casting down imaginations and exalted itself, knowledge of God and bring us every into captivity, obedience of Christ.
I didn’t realize that my mind is the battleground that I got a devil on one shoulder and on the other and that they’re fighting, throw my and, and that it’s a battleground because it is the first from which creativity is incubated that I leave.
I need to leave that.
I need to shut off my phone and shut off my TV, set phone and sit down in a hot tub of water and leave over my face clear that I can think will and take myself power within myself to change things around me by changing things within me.
The propensity we all have is to think that somebody is coming to save us and we think we’re gonna meet somebody that’s gonna change our lives.
And, and so we drop our little hanky down out of our window.
So waiting on Prince Charming on a horse and pick up our handkerchief rather than going down the steps and pick up your and going about your business.
And if Prince Charman come, he gotta make an appointment because I’m doing some stuff you got your whole life waiting for some other confused person, your self confuse kids and become a confused family rather than clearing your, you know what you wore where you’re going.
So you know what you are aware of what is going on in the world and how you and the changing of the current of society require some quiet time.
Leave me alone, call you later catch up on what’s going on and how do I need to be proactive so that I can change my thinking?
Because if I change my thinking, I change my life, change my job. I changed my life.
Not if I change my city, I change my life. Not if I change my husband, I change my life.
Not if I change my wife, I change my life within my thermostat that controls the heat in the hole and it’s right in between my wonder, the devil is up to my mind, distracting me, worrying me to death, confusing me or like Delilah did afflict anything he can put on my mind to keep being clear because my mind is that changes the heat in the whole house.
I refuse to give you my third much power to give to any one person.
I won’t control how I perceive because it is impossible, right?
It’s impossible to have change more progress without thinking determines how you live in what you think in the terms and how you yeah, determines how you, you are no.
Next, you’re one thought away from the greatest breakthrough you ever had in your life.
The greatest discovery you could ever have in your life from your next next million dollars.
You’re one thought away from a cure from cancer.
You’re one thought away from finding your divine purpose, your life out with destiny, peace and joy just away.
And when you can’t change the weather, your clothes, you got to change the way you think you got to change the way you function, you got to change your attitude.
The reason I wore this suit this morning, I was gonna wear another suit.
But before I saw how side I switched up on a change the weather, but I could change my suit.
You trying to change the wrong thing, things that are not within your control.
You can’t a few going to church alone.
It’s a world feel it may not change our own world.
We’re living in a crucial time in history where truth is being cannibalized by opinion.
Science is supposed to be based on fact, math is based on fact, I don’t care what color you are.
I don’t care what class will always before in South Africa and wonder if it’s still for.
But we feelings and everybody is talking about how you feel about a thing, how you feel don’t change the facts.
Two plus two from before.
Whether you believe it, you like it or not, whether you look, whether you embrace it or not.
It’s still the reality. The truth of the matter is the more opinion becomes of the more chaotic and the more chaos down my theologian hat is on, we are setting ourselves up for the anti Christ because problems that we cannot solve as we are creating mechanical beings than their makers.
God never created anything that he couldn’t control.
