Your Wealthy Place!

We should never allow our challenges to cause us to miss entrance into our wealthy place. It is easy to focus on our Giants. We must not measure ourselves against our challenges. In Numbers 13:33, Israel said, "we look like grasshoppers in our own eyes." You should never view your challenges as bigger than you. The one thing you must remember; the same God that brought you through your Red Sea, brought down your Jericho wall, fed you manna and gave water in your dry place is still with you.

To enter your wealthy place you must separate yourself from negative thoughts and people. There were twelve spies sent out to explore this land flowing with milk and honey. Only two of them Caleb and Joshua believed that what God promised was worth the effort. The other ten talked the Israelites out of entering their wealthy place.

Focus on what God promised. God never promises that on your way to your prepared place there wouldn't be problems. Challenges don't mean God is displeased, but perhaps His desire is to get all the Glory as you enter your place of flow and abundance.

Don't allow your false perceptions of yourself that you're not ready, that you are too small and the wealthy place is too much for you cause you to miss out on your place of prosperity. Remember you are God’s chosen, and the goodness of God is upon you and in you. Now is the time for you to exit out of lack and to enter into your land flowing with milk and honey!

Get Your Swagger Back!

The idea of swagger is that of confidence. Swagger is something that all of us should desire to have. In times like these where there are so many uncertainties swagger for many has been lost. We were created by God as part of our DNA to win. Many things emotions of divorce, faultering economics, careers, marriage, relationship challenges are just a few to have caused us to lose our swagger (confidence).


Every champion has it (swagger). Michael Jordan and Majic Johnson premier professional atheletes walked on basketball court with swagger. Swagger says " I know that with God and the God given abilities He has given me, I will not fail, but succeed."


With many questions about finance, frustrations, and our future we all need to regain and keep our swagger. I know many have lost their swagger because we are beginning to question our abilities. For many we have begin to question will God come through. As I write to encourage you there is something on the inside of us that cannot be described medically, it is not visible from an xray, MRI, or medical report, it is "KNOW." KNOW is knowing that you know, that you know, that you know that you know, know that you know, know that GOD will come through, and I am on the verge of a major breakthrough. Remember how you looked in the mirror and you knew you looked good, you didn't need affirmation or confirmation. We must regain our swagger (confidence) in prayer (1John 5:14-16). We must regain our swagger in our faith (Hebrews 10:35) . Remember God designed us to enjoy life to full measure. Go to your next sales appointment, job interview, or face your next challenge with swagger (confidence), saying with God, I always win. Expect, Embrace, & Experience Victory!

There must be more to life than going to work and paying bills everyday. Purpose is that which drives you second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour and day by day. Many people wake up every day in efforts to discover purpose. I write to encourage you to look beyond yourself for your purpose. In the book of Nehemiah, chapter 1 you will discover this man who sought and labored for the well being of his countrymen. He found purpose not in selfish apsirations of fortune and fame, but in selflessness service for mankind. His desire was to rebuild the city that had been ruined by Babylonian assertion and aggression. As you look around you and view the state of children, society, family, and communities that have become ruined by greed, drugs, sex, and the dumbing down of our educational systems, ask yourself what can I do to rebuild my community, touch the life of one young person or even volunteer in my church or school to bring pure meaning and purpose to my life.

When you find purpose do not become discouraged when your purpose is tested. It must be tested by people who have ill will. Your purpose is tested within you to challenge your commitment and your motives. In Nehemiah Chapter 6 Nehemiah's commitment was challenged. His response why should I attend to negative conversations, and people who are not adding value to my purpose.

In Nehemiah 6:15, Nehemiah completed his assignment. He was able to complete his assignment because he knew what he was called to do. I am praying for your purpose driven life assignment. Stay focused as you build a better world around you, you're also building a better you!
