Do I have a word for you today…

When you are leading a company or organization in a challenging economy, progress looks like this: “TWO STEPS FORWARD AND ONE STEP BACK”.

The one step back FEELS like it’s straight down. The truth is, it is not straight down. The enemy tries to influence our feelings and make us FEEL like things are worse than they really are. He tries to make us FEEL like we are not making any progress. Many times, the one step back is sideways. In some cases it’s actually forward, but smaller than your last step, so it FEELS backward.

If this resonates with you, please take courage and share a comment and encourage the discouraged!

It's Time To Narrow My Focus, Good-Bye to Some

My desire is to help Kingdom Business Owners (Christ followers who own and/or operate businesses, organizations, churches...) expand their dominion for the cause of Christ.

I want to spend my time encouraging Kingdom Business Owners to allow the teachings of Jesus to not only permeate their lives on Sunday, but at home and in all areas of business as well.

I believe people are attracted to Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Gentleness, Faithfulness and Self Control.

Greg Grimaud is an example of a Kingdom Business Owner. Saturday afternoon he and his wife Suzanne spent close to four hours with a group of single moms. Greg owns auto repair centers called Precision Tune Auto Care. He taught a car car clinic for these ladies. They learned about basic maintenance and helped them feel empowered in an area they feel very vulnerable.

At the end he asked them all to be mystery shoppers for him by going in, getting a free oil change and then giving him an update on the experience. Getting feedback from the most vulnerable will help insure everyone is being treated well.

1 Thesselonians 5:16-19 MeVersion

No matter what stupid, crazy thing is going on, be joyful or be asking for Joy from your heavenly Father. Stop asking for strength. "The Joy of the Lord is Your Strength"

You are either praying, or you are about to start another prayer.

Receive all God has for you every day with total thankfulness. Even if it appears ugly and painful. Since you belong to Jesus you will immediatly turn it over to Him anyway. Good or Bad and give Him praise!

Open up your heart and mind to the power and voice of the Holy Spirit. If you feel your concience speaking truth, swing that door open widely and let the light of Jesus either grow the truth or kill the desease.

Do not be critical of other bible preachers and teachers. Compare what they are saying to what the Bible says. Write down the good stuff and forget the rest.

Stay away from anything that night be evil or even appear to be evil. Satan knows your weaknesses and he will offer them to you when you least expect it.
