Excerpt from “The Holy Spirit and The Will of God” by Dr. J. Vernon McGee

2009-07-04T08:43:00.011-04:00

"My friend, today the only place in the world you and I will ever be contented and satisfied and happy is when we reach the place where we are abandoned to the will of God."

We Must Discover Who We Are

Focus (Restore It and Maintain It)

2009-04-11T20:59:00.006-04:00

Are you at a standstill in life? Take a moment and reflect. Have you accomplished the things that you originally set out to do? Has it been 1 year, 2 years or 3 years since you said “I’ll get to it tomorrow?

Action is a key to success. With regard to your purpose, dreams, goals, and aspirations are you moving forward? Are you moving backwards, falling behind and running out of time?

Have storms in your life caused you to look around and lose sight, direction and focus?

Set aside some time to be alone. Pray and ask God to lead you, guide you and to restore your focus. You may have to eliminate some things or people in order to accomplish and fulfill your purpose. Do not let fear stop you – II Timothy 1:7.

Dust off your plans and start again. Execute your plan daily. A little action a day will go a long way.

Start today! Do it now for tomorrow may never come.

For your reading: Matthew 14:28-31

True Significance

2009-03-14T17:10:00.004-04:00

When you have found that place of true significance, meaning and purpose no one or nothing else matters. True significance can only be found in Jesus Christ, LORD and Savior of mankind.

For your reading: Acts17:28

What's Inside?

2008-11-16T23:04:00.002-05:00

One cannot expect something out of someone that is not in them. People are who they are because of what’s inside of them (Past Life Experiences), and where they are mentally, physically and spiritually. What’s inside of an individual will eventually come out - Matthew 12:34b

Until a person’s heart is changed they will not change. One cannot expect Heathens to be Holy or Sinners to act like Saints.

An individual’s life and lifestyle exemplifies what, who, and whose they are. It also reveals what they love. What one watches, hears, and reads as well as the places they visit and the relationships they have greatly influences their behavior and reveals their character.

Learn to Evaluate your Intake because what’s inside is who you really are.

Greener Grass

2008-09-23T11:43:00.006-04:00

Sometimes when you realize that you have made the wrong choice it is too late and unless God miraculously intervenes, you must live with the consequences forever.

Learn to pray and heed to the voice of God before you make decisions and choices.

Two statements that I have come to learn are true:
“All that glitters is not gold.”
“The grass is not always greener on the other side.”

Pray and think long and hard before you make decisions.

Water and nurture your grass before you jump the fence and trade it in for a new lawn. Once you go across the fence you may never be able to come back. You may find out that grass is not greener or cleaner on the other side. You may now be stuck with weeds, bugs, and things that you could not see before you crossed the fence. In short make sure you know before you go because once you go you may be gone forever.

Remember:
Psalm 23:1-6
Psalm 121:1-8

Grace For Your Thorn

2008-07-29T00:24:00.001-04:00

“And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.” (II Corinthians 12:7-10)

Do You Have A Thorn?
Husband?
Wife?
Job/Career?
Illness?
Family Member(s)?
Friend(s)?
Coworker(s)?

Sometimes God allows people and or things in our lives to keep us humble, focused and dependent upon Him. God’s grace is sufficient to help you endure no matter the situation or the circumstance. Just continue to pray, trust and obey God.

Remember:
Hebrews 13:5
Psalm 34:19
Psalm 46:10

IT

2008-06-18T21:50:00.003-04:00

To succeed in life you must have IT. To make it you must possess IT.

IT = Insight and Truth

IT = Intellect and Talent

IT = Influence and Time

IT = Intensity and Toughness

IT = Inspiration and Tenacity

Do you have IT?

Success

2008-04-14T21:26:00.003-04:00

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”

(Joshua 1:8 KJV)

Success is desired by many and obtained by few because the few do what the many refuse to do. The many refuse to DO that is take action. In order to succeed you must do. Success is simple.
The Journey is not easy. Success is gratifying and rewarding. The journey is grueling and toilsome. Success is obtainable if you are willing to obey God, pay the price and endure.

“But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth , that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.”

(Deuteronomy 8:18 KJV)

Winning

2007-12-10T02:55:00.000-05:00

To W-I-N you must focus.
Focus on What’s Important Now.
Focus on and perform priorities. Focus on and do the things that will help you to get to where you desire to be.
Eliminate Excuses and Distractions to W-I-N.

Accomplishing The Impossible

2007-09-22T03:56:00.000-04:00

Learn to look beyond what you see when you face challenges and difficult situations. Learn to see the possibilities and not the problem. To do this requires walking by faith. One has to continuously trust and believe God. What you face may seem inescapable, insurmountable, and down right impossible. If God gave it to you to do, do it. When times get hard remember that where God guides He provides.

"For with God nothing shall be impossible"

(Luke 1:37 KJV)

The Sovereignty of God

2007-07-22T09:21:00.001-04:00

Sovereignty can be defined as:

Supreme Excellence
Supreme Power
Freedom from external control
Autonomy
Controlling Influence

We may not always understand or agree with what and how God does things, but we must learn to accept what God allows in our lives. For it is He that created us and knows what’s best for us.

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." (Isaiah 55:8-9 KJV)

God is Sovereign

"For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy." (Romans 9:15-16 KJV)

Relationships

2007-04-22T21:09:00.000-04:00

Those with whom you surround yourself greatly influence you.
Who you hang with determines how high you will soar.
Your relationships impact your revenue.
If you want to soar high you need to hang with Eagles and get out of the Chicken Coop.

Speaking Properly

2007-02-28T08:18:00.000-05:00

"A SOFT answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger." (Proverbs 15:1 KJV)

Learn to control your tongue.
Think before you speak.
Speak the right words at the proper time.
Words spoken can never be retrieved.

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." (Proverbs 18:21 KJV)

I was informed that when you lose your temper (your tongue) you lose.

"Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:" (James 1:19 KJV)

Work

2007-02-11T21:59:00.000-05:00

"The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat." (Proverbs 13:4 KJV)

The only place that success comes before work is in the dictionary.

"Action leads to acquisition and achievement"

-Vincent T. Edwards "Mr. Speaker"-

"Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase." (Proverbs 13:11 KJV)

Expectations

2007-01-14T23:53:00.000-05:00

People will let you down and truly disappoint you, especially those who are close to you. I have come to know and understand that you can not expect out of a person that which is not in them.

"…for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh."
(Matthew 12:34 b KJV)

Thieves will steal, liars will lie, murderers will kill and sinners will willfully sin until their hearts and minds are transformed.

"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."
(2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV)

Thoughts

2006-12-21T05:17:00.000-05:00

"For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:…" (Proverbs 23:7a KJV)

Be defined by your purpose and not by people.
What are your thoughts about yourself and about who you are?
Are your thoughts positive or negative?
Do you think BIG or small?
What and who do you think you are?

What you think you can become.
Think BIG and your dreams can grow!

"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." (Philippians 4:8 KJV)

Action "The Concept of Doing"

2006-12-11T04:04:00.000-05:00

"But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was." (James 1:22-24 KJV)

People often look for and want the magic pill to success. That pill does not exist.
There is one thing that separates the successful from the unsuccessful and that is ACTION. Action is the prerequisite to achievement and accomplishment. If you want to acquire something take action and DO what is necessary.

The Place For Answers

2006-11-28T21:49:00.000-05:00

"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." (2 Timothy 2:15 KJV)

People tend to search for answers, inspiration and motivation in a lot of the wrong places.

Do you want answers to life’s challenges?
Do you want inspiration that is out of this world?
Do you want to experience ultimate joy, peace, and happiness?

Remember Mr. Speaker’s K-I-S-S Principle

Keep Inspired Study Scripture
-Vincent T. Edwards "Mr. Speaker"-

Encourage Yourself

2006-11-14T18:21:00.000-05:00

"And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God." (1 Samuel 30:6 KJV)

Visionaries are often misunderstood and typically stand-alone. Your purpose in life may take you down lonely, dark roads. Those who do not see what you see may call you crazy and may not want to be associated with you. At times it may seem as though the entire world is against you. Remember as long as God is with you, who can be against you? You may not get the pats on the back now and people may say or do things to hurt you. In the end they will desire what you persevered to obtain. Stay focused, dedicated and committed to your purpose. When you are in the valley Pray and Encourage Yourself.

Excuses

2006-11-06T05:36:00.000-05:00

Excuses can keep you from fulfilling your purpose.
Excuses can exclude people from your life.
It is easy to find a reason not to do something.
What ever it is that you desire your why must become great to overcome the ease of embracing excuses.

Accountability

2006-10-24T23:31:00.000-04:00

Accountability!!!
That’s right, if you want to accomplish your dreams goals and aspirations just tell one person that you can trust and have that person hold you accountable.Throughout all of my years here is one thing I’ve learned and that is if you are held accountable you are more likely to do it.
What gets inspected gets done. What gets measured gets done.The word for the day is accountability.
