For the first time in my life I can honestly say I have a vision of what I want to do in my life. I have seen God working in my life alot these last few months. First He has blessed my wife with the knowledge of coupons, which was hard for me to understand at first, but I get it now. We have cut or grocery bill in half and that is a praise God!!! Second I have been presented with a new job opportunity with in the bank I am currently working at. God is moving and I am on the train!!! God has shown me where to go and how to get there and how to run it. I am still praying about some of the details but He has given me a three year plan. I plan on finishing Theology school and getting my bachelors degree at Life Christian Bible Institute, which will happen in just 1 and half years. Then I plan on going on to get my masters and doctorate at Life Christian University. From there God will direct me into new and exciting things. God has also given me a new desire to see the lost saved and a new boldness to talk to them about Jesus.
I know that with God all things are possible and that I can do all things through Jesus. No mountain will stand in my way.

Fear, Power, Love, Sound Mind
“God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but one of power, love and a sound mind”
II Timothy 1:7
So why do so many of us live in fear?
1.The main reason is a lack of knowledge, people are afraid of the things they don't understand the word of God says that His people perish because of the lack of knowledge.
Hosea 4:6
2.You need not fear for there is now no condemnation to those who are in Christ
Romans 8:1
So what Spirit did God give us?
1. The verse here in Second Timothy says one of POWER, LOVE, and a SOUND MIND that is three different things, but can be wrapped up into The Holy Spirit. So we can read this verse this way God did not give us a spirit of fear but gave us His Holy Spirit. Jesus told us that He would send the Helper.
John 14:16,17&26
What is the power of the Holy Spirit?
1.The Holy Spirit give us the boldness (power) to step out of our comfort zones
Acts 1:8
What is Love?
1.Paul writes about love to the Corinthians in 1st Corinthians 13 and tells them without love we are nothing.
1st Corinthians 13:1,2
2.Jesus talks about how love is His commandment
John 15:12
Sound Mind / Faith
1.As Christians we are to be of sound mind not double minded.

2. The Bible says that with out faith it is impossible to please God

Lord Hear my Cry
Psalm 17:1 "Hear a just cause, O Lord Attend to my Cry....."
Right now Lord I am crying out to you please hear my cry I am tired of feeling this way tired of existing in fear. I'm not living the plan You have for me. I know that fear holds me back, and You are moving forward. My anger also hinders me Lord deal with that root cut it out of me I refuse to be angry anymore the fear only feeds my anger and my anger feeds the fear. THIS IS NOT LIFE please Lord free me of fear and anger.
In Jesus name

Keep your focus
Proverbs 4:25-27 "Let your eyes look straight ahead and your eyelids look right before you. Ponder the path of your feet and let your ways be established. Do not turn to the right or to the left. Remove your foot from evil." As I read this today I was reminded of Peter when he jumped out of the boat on to the raging sea. He walked on water for a little bit then lost focus, started looking at the left and the right. See Peter lost focus on what was before him, and started to sink into the sea. If Jesus had not of been there Peter would have drowned. Thank God He sent His Son to save us. How many of us have lost focus today, and are drowning? I would be the first to admit I loose focus from time to time, but thank God the Holy Ghost is right there to pull my focus right back to God. Have any of you lost focus on what it is God wants for you? God wants you to have life abundant not life just ok . If you are tired of trying to do this all your self and realized you are drowning reach up and grab a hold of Jesus and He will pull out of the sea and set you back on solid ground. Matthew 11:28 "Come to Me (Jesus) all you who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest."
If you have lost focus and want to get back on track its this simple :
Father I have lost focus on You please forgive me I want to get back on track with the plan you have for my life. Holy Ghost help me to stay on track and order my steps. Thank you Lord for never leaving me and being there to pull me out when I am drowning and set me back on the solid rock. In Jesus name AMEN!
