7 Steps To A Turn Around cont.

your Bible daily so that you will be thoroughly equipped to carry out the assignment and remain on course.

  1. Build your dream.
    You must  actively pursue your dream for it to materialize.  You can't sit around waiting for things to happen.  You must make them happen.  Use the information God has placed in your spirit to build your dream.  Remember He's the architect and you're the builder.  "Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it…"  (Psalm 127:1).
  2. Finish the course.
    Get into the habit of finishing the things you start by establishing small, realistic goals that will lead you to your destination.  For example, if you want

success.
The words you say must line up with the goals you are pursuing.  Therefore, it is important that you only speak positive, faith-filled words concerning your situation.  If you're passed over for a promotion, don't say, "They'll never promote me."  Instead say, "Praise God, I must be next!"  When you exercise this type of faith, nothing will be impossible for :you to accomplish (Matthew 17:20)!

By following these steps, you will produce a perpetual flow of God's blessings in your life and your success will be inevitable.

-Bishop T.D. Jakes

to lose 50 pounds, celebrate every 10.  Hebrews 12:2 says God is the author and finisher of our faith.  Whatever He starts, He finishes.  Even if you have a few pit stops along the way (and you will), determine that you will make it to the finish line.  Don't give up!

  1. Increase your capacity to receive.
    Being equipped to handle the things you desire is important.  Otherwise you will sabotage your success.  For instance, you can refinance your house and pay off all your credit cards by taking cash out.  But if you never learn how to break the habits that got you into debt in the first place, you'll get into debt again.
  2. Confess your way to

Keepin' It Real

Isn't it funny when someone in the choir stand, or in the pulpit, can't stay awake.  Solution:  Go to bed earlier.
Isn't it funny when the Pastor steps on your toes in church and you are convicted on the inside, but to show no emotion you laugh and say Amen really loud as if he wasn't talk king to you.  Solution:  Stop frontin'.
Isn't it funny when you have someone speaking, who is not really interesting (or anointed may I had), has a lot to say.  Solution:  God will never put more on your than you can bear.
Isn't it funny when someone is

clapping on beat 1 and 3 instead of 2 and 4.  Solution:  Pray their strength in the Lord.
Isn't if funny when you are all hype to pray, but you fall asleep during the prayer and still manage to wake up when they say Amen.  Solution:  God is not going to let you keep sliding on these.
Isn't it funny how hungry you are in church.  Actually it's not funny how hungry you are in church, because it's a hunger that you never get any other time.  Solution 1:  The Devil is a liar.  Solution 2:  If you wake up earlier on Sunday

and stop rushing, you may have a chance to sit down to eat a hardy breakfast.
Isn't it funny when you are in church, you say to yourself that you will go straight to sleep, but manage to do everything under the sun and then some when you get home.  Solution:  See previous solution 1.
Isn't it funny to see someone in the spirit, but then they break spirit by talking to their neighbor or child(ren) and then jump back in the spirit.  Solution:  Don't put God in a box, He can do what he wants right?
