Three Things God Desires for You

Three Things God Desires for You

There are so many more than three things that God desires for you. He says “He wishes above all things that you would prosper and be in health, even as your soul (mind, will, and emotions) prospers and keeps well.” III John 2.

He says in Ephesians 3:20:

^20″Never doubt God’s mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination!^[a] He will outdo them all, for his miraculous power constantly energizes you.”

Every Promise has a Condition

He is such a good Heavenly Father. And now the question is, what are His desires that he would like to have from us? This is very important. Every single promise we are given in the Bible has a condition. If we will do this, then He will this that. Search it out yourself and see if this isn’t true.

If you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord,

Then you will be saved

If you seek Him with all your heart

Then you will find Him

If you sow

Then you will reap

If you ask

Then you will receive

God Desires Three Sacrifices from Each of Us

These aren’t to take away but to add to our happiness and long life. Believe it or not, they will also add to our accomplishing our goals of becoming, and staying healthy and fit. Here we go. Let’s see what they are:

Ps 50:14-15, 23

Why don’t you bring me the sacrifices I desire?
    Bring me your true and sincere thanks,
    and show your gratitude by keeping your promises to me,
    the Most High.
¹⁵Honor me by trusting in me in your day of trouble.
    Cry aloud to me, and I will be there to rescue you.

Gratefulness

Gratefulness is a choice. It can become a habit. Many times it feels like a sacrifice. This pleases the Lord very much. Continually thank Him for what He has done and is doing in your life, ( even when you can’t see it, as he is often working behind the scenes. Thank Him for His angels who are all on assignment for us who are heirs of salvation

Keeping Your Promises to Him

Yes, it is easy to make a commitment and then not keep it. Early on this year I made a decision and a promise to get up an hour earlier in order to work on an assigned project concerning this website. Yikes, I kept putting it off as I fought the “battle of the covers” each morning. Finally, I chose to enforce my commitment. It was hard at first but now is actually a joy. He says it brings Him joy when we keep our promises to Him. I want to bring Him great joy.

Trusting in Him in Your Day of Trouble

This may be the hardest one. We each can do it because He tells us to.

⁶Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, ⁷casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

⁸Be ^[a]sober, be ^[b]vigilant; ^[c]because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. I Peter 5:6-8

Since this is something that pleases our Heavenly Father, let’s develop this habit.

While Others Are

While Others Are

Continuing to read and prepare for the upcoming Fabufit Course, Five Most Important Habits, I have found a most encouraging poem by William Arthur Ward.

While Others Are

Listen to the description of the road to success. Here you will see the difference between ordinary and extraordinary:

Believe while other are doubting

Plan while others are playing

Study while others are sleeping

Decide while others are delaying

Prepare while others are daydreaming

Begin while others are procrastinating

Work while others are wishing

Save while others are wasting

Listen while others are talking

Smile while others are frowning

Commend while others are criticizing

Persist while others are quitting

Let’s Fill Our Minds with New Ideas

As you and I fill our minds with new ideas and encouraging thoughts, these drive out discouragement and depression that might be lurking around trying to gain access. Remember how God tells us to think on things good and pure and lovely and of a good report.

Just One Good Idea

Sometimes all it takes is one good idea to complete the missing piece of your success puzzle. That missing piece might be something like knowing the most prominent habits of the unsuccessful. Do you know them? There are about ten. Three of them are:

They complain.

“Instead of complaining that the rosebush is full
of thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses.” ~
German Proverb

They are always late.

“Chronic lateness communicates a subtle, yet strong, message: You’re inconsiderate of other peoples schedules……” ~ Terri Foy

They blame others.

Author of The Success Principles, Jack Canfield, says the first key to success is to take 100% responsibility for your life.

February 8th begins a Fabufit Course

Save your place now!

on The Five Most Important Habits for 2021. There may be others of equal importance, but these five will most definitely put you on the Success Path. It’s hard at times to motivate ourselves. It is easier and more fun to have a small team of encouragers with us. That is what Fabufit courses are about. We will take baby steps to learn and implement some life changing habits. Class enrollment is limited. It will close soon.

It is Time to Cast Your Vote for This Nation

It is Time to Cast Your Vote for This Nation

This is the hour to cast your vote not just for a President, but for the future of this nation.

We are facing the very most critical time our nation has ever faced. I’m sure many of you have already voted. It could be a long line if you haven’t, but my prayer is that you will face the line and go to the polls.

Vote for the Party Who Upholds Biblical Principles

Healing and health are found in His Word

Amplified

In this election, the moral foundation of our entire nation is at stake. The two parties could not be more opposite on their platforms. We see this so very clearly with a glance at the two platforms.

Ask yourself, where does each party stand on three biblical issues that are dear to the heart of our Lord?

Abortion
Same-sex Marriage
Israel

George Pearsons Eagle Mountain Church

I admire so much those churches who have the boldness to inform the congregation of what each party stands for. Most every news channel is slanted toward the Democratic party. We see them, as well as social media platforms, withholding critical information from us, the American people. George Pearsons, among many fearless pastors are bolding declaring the truth.

Our Vote

“Our vote is the seed that will produce our future environment. When the church is silent and doesn’t vote, the wicked continue to elect the wicked, and the people continue to suffer. Proverbs 29:2 says, ‘When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked bear rule, the people mourn.’ The Christian vote is vital!”

Republican Platform

The Republican Platform of 2020 is based on upholding Biblical Principles. Please vote. To NOT VOTE is to vote the party not for Biblical principles. As Americans, we have a cherished right and responsibility to vote.

Amazing Truth About One Vote

In 1776, the new government of the United States chose the English language over the German language by margin of ONE VOTE. In 1801, the U.S. House of Representatives elected Thomas Jefferson as president of the United States by ONE VOTE. In 1845, Texas was admitted as the 28th state of the Union by ONE VOTE. In 1960, John F. Kennedy won the presidential election by ONE VOTE per precinct, and Richard M. Nixon lost by ONE VOTE per precinct. (from George Pearson’s November 2020 Newsletter)

Mark Twain Quote

Mark Twain, an allegedly notorious skeptic, understood the importance of the Christian note in his day. In the September 2, 1904 edition of Collier’s Weekly, Twain wrote: ” It will be conceded that a Christian’s first duty is to God. It then follows, as a matter of course, that it is their duty to carry their Christian code of morals to the polls and vote them. Whenever they shall do that, they will not find themselves voting for an unclean person, dishonest person. If Christians would vote their duty to God at the polls, they would carry every election, and do it with ease. Their prodigious power would be quickly realized and recognized, and afterward, there would be no unclean candidates upon any ticket, and graft would cease. If the Christians of America could be persuaded to vote God and a clean ticket, it would bring about a moral revolution that would be incalculably beneficent. It would save the country.” (Pearson’s November 2020 News)

President James A. Garfield Quote

President James A. Garfield said, “Now more than ever, the people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless, and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness, and corruption. If it be intelligent, brave and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities to represent them in the national legislature.”

God Bless You and God Bless America!

Secret #2 for Living Long and Strong

Secret #2 For Living Long and Strong

Those who have run the race share secret #2 for living long and strong.

By the yard, life is hard; but inch by inch anything is a cinch.

Remember Reverend Roy Miller who was introduced to you in September? When we look at his life, we realize he lived using all of the secrets learned so far. He actually is a role model for every single secret of the seven. Possibly he most exemplifies Secret #2.

This is a mindset we can learn to develop. It will make a huge difference in the way our life turns out.

Old Age is Not for Sissies

Art Linkletter said it so well, “Old age isn’t for sissies.”

We must possess the will to live and the courage to grow old. Mary Edwards Renewer wrote this poem at the age of 100.

The Will to Live and The Courage to Grow Old

We should not drag our feet
When time commands, “March on”
We should step out briskly,
Within our hearts, a song.
Our memory is a mirror
Through which we view the past
With melancholy pleasure
But such moments cannot last.
We have to face the future
With joys and griefs unknown:
Let spiritual growth continue
So we do not walk along.

Health is a Circle

June 24, 2020 by Dani Leave a Comment

Health is a Circle

Your health encompasses a beautiful circle. You are fearfully and wonderfully made says Psalms 139:14,15. You are a Spirit who has a soul: mind, will, emotions; and lives in a body. One part influences the other two. They really cannot be separated. As these components begin to work together in balance and harmony, your health begins an upward spiral. When one of these components is left out or receives very limited attention, health declines. A downward spiral begins.

Abundant Life

Jesus came to give you life and to give it more abundantly. He has given us an instruction manual to perfectly guide us in the “abundant life” journey. The bad news is that the enemy of our soul comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy. He comes to steal your health so you will be handicapped from walking into your unique destiny.

When health is absent,

Wisdom cannot reveal itself,

Art cannot become manifest,

Strength cannot be exercised,

Wealth is useless,

And Reason is powerless.

Herophines

The Circle

Watch your thoughts for they become words,
watch your words for they become actions,
watch your actions, for they become habits,
watch your habits for they become your character,
watch your character for it becomes your destiny.
—Ralph Waldo Emerson

Your Thoughts of Yesterday Made Your Life of Today

That is a pretty alarming statement, but God’s Word declares that to be true. Thoughts become words. You can say that your tongue controls your life. You and I can change our tomorrows by changing our thoughts and words today. God tells us to talk to our mountains (problems, sicknesses) and curse them in the name of Jesus. Mark 11:22-25

The Gift of Choice

We can choose to control our thoughts and our emotions. Dr. Avery Jackson, Neurosurgeon, has found proven evidence that a person with a positive mindset is less likely to develop diseases. Dr. Jackson even does Laughing Classes. Laughter is a natural pain killer.

We must choose God’s promises. Each promise is “yes” and “amen”. You and I can choose to declare and become healthier every day. Have you ever thought about the fact that you can choose how you feel? Emotions lead to health or sickness. Your emotions can really affect you at the DNA level.

Choices to Begin Today for a Better Tomorrow

Since the brain’s intricate circuits and structures work on the principle of connectivity, we can begin to upgrade our life by becoming aware of and changing two important things that can upset the balance of the intricate way our brain is designed to work:

Toxic Thoughts
Toxic Food

One of the best ways to upgrade our thoughts is to follow God’s recommendation of thinking on things good and pure and lovely and of a good report. Again, this is a choice. The world is negative. Your friends may likely be negative. You and I can be the one of everyone who chooses differently. Practicing Gratefulness is a perfect way to begin. “You can always, always, always find something to be grateful for.”

Can you begin to list 10 things you are grateful for on a daily basis? It will make a difference. You can train yourself in this habit of gratefulness.
