Day 8 of 30 Day Prayer and Fast

"Pursue Your Victory! It's time to rise up and boldly go after your victory! It's time to develop a warrior mentality and proactively pursue the happiness, health and peace that God has promised in His Word!" Wow, such bold words of encouragement!

I also read this today from Iyanla Vanzant:

"A focused, consistent positively motivated and disciplined character is essential to making your life story have a happy ending. If you know that you have been ignoring details, avoiding difficulties and cutting corners, don't blame the process! Don't confuse the absence of discipline with the unreliability of trust. Until today, you may have ben making up a tale about what you want without doing what was required to make it happen. Just for today, till your mental soil with determination. Fertilize your emotional soil with positive words. Plant the seed of your heart's desire with your disciplined efforts."

The Bible says that you will reap, what you sow. We have to sow positive, disciplined behavior in order to reap what we desire for our lives. I have to do more to be more disciplined. Doing enough to just get by and look a certain way on the surface is no longer going to be acceptable to me. I am challenging myself from this day forward!

Peace and LOVE!

The power of focused intention: When we look at light, it looks very luminous and transparent. John C. Maxwell speaks about the power of light. When that same light becomes focused, it has the power to pierce even through steel as a laser. We are light; when we become focused in our intention, we gain exponential power through effectiveness, determination, and single-mindedness. Find your core by weeding out all that is not you. Use your core to deliver your highest and best performance, knowing that when your focused intention meets with God's supernatural power, the result is EXPLOSIVE.
