Cindy trim come on can you welcome her how y'all doing tonight it's another great day on planet earth any day above zero is a good day to praise the Lord we've been engaging you in our series called the the DNA of destiny and we've spent a couple of weeks actually just excavating the whole fact that your destiny is attached to decisions and we've given you examples from Moses and the decision that he had to make Abraham decisions that he made and many many different people throughout the Bible that had made had to make decisions but in John chapter five and we're going to go directly into the word John chapter five we're reading from verse number two there's a very interesting story and you can easily miss it because there's this is a tax that is always preached about so you can actually miss some of the layered revelation that is there but as you turn to John chapter five we want to welcome you to your life group this is my life group they are lit they are on a fire they are making such a heavy demand and we greet each one of you meeting around the world with your life groups all the way in Latvia and Germany and Paris and all Brazil all over the world South Africa Nigeria there are life groups all over the world meeting simultaneously and we are thanking God for the presence of God that is going to be there and we pray that you will experience spontaneous deliverance and spontaneous healing as you believe the Lord for your breakthrough tonight is gonna be a night of breakthroughs breakthrough in Revelation that's gonna take your life to the next level let's just pray in acts God to bless our time together our dear father we thank you for the time that you have allotted us that we could spend just combing through the word ask evading the word pulling out the pearls of Revelation and that is lying there waiting for us to be able to pull them out and apply them far out to our own life that the truth that will be revealed to us that will have a liberating effect for we shall know the truth and the truth shall set us free and so tonight we pray that the anointing will be one that would liberate our minds and hearts so that we can go on and do those things that you have commissioned and called us to do without feeling that somehow we are locked in and prohibited by the limitations that other individuals have used to aboard or even forfeit the great opportunity of adventure in the realm of the Spirit in being able to discover our purpose and then maximize our potential what a great adventure it is with the holy spirit who navigates the path that we should take and to show us the charted course that you had in mind for us before the foundation of the world and so father we pray that you would bless our time together and bless those that are meeting around the world in their life groups and especially this Life Group tonight bless them and give them strategies and insights and give them principles that they can apply immediately to their lives and then give them the faith and the courage to do so we pray that their lives will never be the be the same in Jesus name Amen the power of decision making we're going to talk to you about the power of decision making today John chapter 5 now there was at Jerusalem by the Sheep market a pool which is called in the Hebrew tongue the Wester having five porches and these lay a great multitude of impotent folk of blind halted withered waiting for the moving of the water and we learned in our last lesson about these individuals they were impotent they lacked power so they were disempowered so a dissident powered person is a danger if they're a danger to society because they really don't care but they're also a danger to themselves they're gonna end up doing things to themselves to their body to their relationships that will end up hurting them and sabotaging the greatness that is only inside of them Jesus when he died he came to restore that which was lost and what we lost we lost our ability to think like heavens representative to think like God we lost our a Dominion we lost our sensibility we lost our way we lost our Authority and power because we fed fell out of a realm of Dominion and what Jesus when he died did for us he is allowing us to be restored back to that place that place of Dominion and it's a realm that you live in anytime you live in the kingdom you live in a realm of power empowerment realm of authority around wealth affluence and influence and so you can see why the enemy wants us to be ignorant concerning who we are in Christ Jesus and to hold us in somewhat of a mental and emotional and psychological so tie with the Babylonian system there are a lot of people that are saved genuinely save but they're not delivered and we're not talking about demons coming out of you but we're talking about being able to be birthed into a new realm of power away from the source of your original paradigm your paradigm is a mental model it's um the way that you see yourself in this world it's the way that you process information it's the way you interpret experiences and two people can have the same experience at the same time but their interpretation will be different and it's based one a paradigm and so here was a man with the paradigm hanging around impotent folk that was his paradigm we have to wait for someone to do something for us we have to wait for someone to be kind to us we can't eat until someone feeds us we can't drink until someone gives us water and everyone in his community was like that and that the Bible said they were halted and withered they were waiting for the moving of the water it's interesting because they believe that an angel had to move the water so the moving of the water simply means that there was some external force that was gonna cause the water to ripple not knowing that they could cause ripples themselves you know and they they they they were waiting on you know and they felt as if and they use it as an excuse well God must want me to be this way because if he didn't then things would be different and I would be different in the circumstances would be different and so they had this oral tradition that was passed down it was just a story that they believed that only one person a year got a chance to break away nobody else is gonna break away and the rest of us are gonna have to stay like we are and then they had this oral tradition that was passed down that whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsover disease he had and if you you are not first well then oh well you're just going to stay like that until next year and if someone goes ahead of you then you're not gonna have the opportunity and somehow we we grow up with this limiting belief that there's not enough to go around for all of us you know and that somehow success is not for everybody prosperity is not for everybody it's just for the few lucky individuals that have been favoured and the rest of us are not favored almost as if we believe the lie that favor ain't fear favor is not just for some of us it's for all of us and we usually say it after we make it in life but before we make it in life we're all favorite after we make it in life favoring fear but favors for all of us as long as you're a part of this dispensation of grace the Bible said there will come a time that God will favor us and this is our time it's during this dispensation where we're all favored grace is synonymous with favor you know and God's grace gives you the power to do what you couldn't do in and of yourself the Bible says that they believed this lie and they had it perpetuated intergenerationally this particular man was there for 38 years we don't know how he got there we don't know his age all we know is that he was locked in a system for 38 years and he believed a lie - because it was perpetuated so they were all people of the lie and the Bible says that a certain man had been there had an infirmity but 38 years when Jesus saw him my and in our last message we talked about the problem with lying and what it really means it doesn't just mean to to recline horizontally it means to misrepresent the truth and we were talking about misrepresenting the truth of who you are you learn to to not to be boastful and people believe that if you say that you're good at something somehow you're boasting and you're arrogant but but how can people know what you bring to the table unless you tell them and you know you want to give God glory you want to be able to give God glory and and you see when when we talk about being humble the scripture in Matthew chapter 5 talks about being meek meekness is not the same thing as lying about who you are you see because you a lot of people are so insecure when you know that you're powerful at doing something they want you to lie to make them feel better about their insecurity you see so when I go for a doctor I want the best in town so I always interview any any professional that I use I always interview them it doesn't matter all right are you good at what you do and if this em all right I hang up the phone because I'm looking for the best and if you think you if you don't think that you're right you know you know people are looking for the best so they want the best doctor the best lawyer am I correct about it the best realtor when I moved to Georgia I called up a couple of friends and they say who is the best doctor who is the best dentist and they told me who the best was and I went after the best now if it's fine for you to go after the best how come you can't be the best in your industry why do you have to be the worst why do you have to be the second-best why can't you be the best to why and so it's interesting because again people want us to lie and I remember reading an article about a gentleman he was an excellent writer and he said people think that I'm arrogant but I'm really not because why would I lie about being good at what I do I'm a good writer you know I and I'm a good speaker now I can't do everything I could sing but eres no records don't think I can sing they haven't given me a contract I'm good with holding the mic but they haven't given me a contract I'm a good speaker I'm a good communicator I'm a good writer but I'm not a good singer are you with me I have a few of my friends that say girl you could sing and I said well I'm giving you passes to the backstage but I just haven't got on the front stage yet but but but but you know when we think about a person being meek to be meek simply means that you acknowledge what God has placed in you but you also acknowledge the source you see macness has to do with you acknowledging the source if you sing yes I could sing good but it's only because of him do you see that you see the difference so if God made you an excellent dancer you know and your principal dancer why would you say I'm not that good that isn't that lying when you really can blow and you've got pipes and and people are paying to go to your concert and you said now I'm not that good when you stand up and you get a gold medal at the Olympics and they interview you it's it's a lie to say oh I'm not that good I'm just being humble no I'm the best in the world to God be the glory I can sing to God be the glory I can dance to God be the glory I'm beautiful to God because he could have given you an ugly gene to God be that are you with me so when people give you a compliment stop lying and acting as if you know you don't know you're gonna give God glory you're gonna give God glory we call people arrogant when they know who they are and they know they're good at something and they refuse to act otherwise are you with me then why would you lie if you're good at something but give God the glory so here was this man lying amongst other individuals that were lying with him they were misrepresenting the truth of who they we're and the scripture says that Jesus came in and when he saw him live and knew had been there for a long time he asked him a question this is verse number 6 wilt thou be made whole now notice the question doesn't say do you want to be healed the question says do you want to be whole and the scripture uses a word say if he saith unto him si it8 say yes that's not just all English is a present active continuous in other words that verb he kept saying present active continuous verb he kept asking him wilt thou be made whole do you want to be home do you want to be whole and every time he was asking well my momma do you want do you want my daddy do you the government do you what do you want and bombarded his mind brought him to a crises point where he had to say yes or no because it was a closed-ended question and a closed-ended question require either a yes uh no I am NOT asking you about the 38 years I'm not asking you about you laying up in the rain I'm not asking you about you not having a blanket when it was cold I'm not asking you about the people that didn't help you they walk by because what he was looking for his pity and that was a learned behavior you don't want pity you want principles you don't need anybody's pity you don't need anybody feeling sorry for you because that's all you got all your life you've got people feeling sorry for you and you are still in the same place people intuitively and instinctively realize they have greatness in them is something instinct and for some people it's been beaten out of them and if it's if it wasn't physical it was it was verbal where people beat you down so that they can control you you see the moment you start making decisions for yourself people will begin to resent you because they have given away their personal power and when you take your personal power back who gave you the nerve to think that you're better than us you don't need permission God gave you permission you know the greatest gift that you can give yourself is the gift of goodbye when you go home you're gonna have to tell some people good bye you're gonna have to have to tell some circumstances goodbye and you're gonna have to do it you're gonna have to do it deliberately you're gonna have to do it consciously and you're gonna have to do it consistently until the spirit realm until your friends get the message that I'm not staying around I'm not doing this anymore I can't live like this another day I don't want to feel like this another day I don't want to go to bed with my heart pounding wondering how I'm gonna pay bills wondering what what friend is gonna walk out on me next I don't want to live this way any longer and because you make a decision not to live that way you don't have to live that way another day in your life you're not to live where you're living you're at the work where you're working you not to take what you're taking you don't have to allow people to talk to you as if your name is Matt walk all over you you don't have to take it you have to be treated that way the moment you know your value and your worth is the moment you are empowered to be everything that God wants you to be and you don't have to ask for permission and I can imagine as Jesus asking him he's trying to imagine now for 38 years I haven't had to cook for 38 years I haven't had to pay a mortgage for 38 years I haven't had to work but there years I haven't had to carry myself anywhere for 38 years I haven't had to do any of this do I want to be home because if I'm home I don't have any more excuses if I'm home I can't bag anymore if I'm whole I'm gonna have to work if I'm whole I'm gonna have to make my own salary if I'm whole I'm gonna have to be a innovator if I'm whole I'm gonna have to pay my own bills if I'm whole I'm gonna have to keep my own lights on if I'm whole I'm going to have to if I get whole if I don't have any problem I don't have any pity and people are not going to give me anyway do I want that do I want to be responsible for my own success do I want to be responsible for my own prosperity do I want to be responsible for my own failure you need to tell me I can't blame the government anymore I can't blame my husband anymore when you take 100 percent of percent responsibility for your life when you take 100% responsibility for your life for your success for your failure for your joy for your happiness for your disappointment when you take 100% responsibility something amazing happens in the realm of the Spirit you will begin to feel heaven conspiring with to get the resources to you to get the divine hook up to you to get the resources you need to start your business to go back to the school something amazing happens when you stop begging what do you want what do you want what do you want have you put any thought to what you want and why you want it have you put any thought towards that and we talked about earlier how to keep your own rhythm you gotta keep your rhythm in life you know life has a rhythm you should have a rhythm to never allow someone else agency to become your priority teach me to number my days give me your ability to manage my activities according to timeframes what would would with goals did you set for this year what specific goals a goal has a start date and a finish date what specific goals when did you start when did you finish when are you gonna finish what goals are you establishing for next year what goals are you establishing the year after you ventually it's gonna explode and you're gonna have everything you want you're gonna accomplish everything that you want you're gonna be able to do everything that you want to do do you want what do you want I don't care about what other people want I'm asking you and then finally said I do want to be home then he said take up your bed and walk cuz I'm not gonna be a crutch to you I'm not gonna be an alibi the devil deceived him into believing that he had no other option and this was how his story was going to end it is what it is and ain't when it ain't but when Jesus came into his life Jesus came as an interrupter and he interrupted things and he disrupted things so that he could have another script in life to be able to say I come in the volume of the book it is written of me do you want to be whole not heal he was sick in his mind his thought life was bankrupt he had mental impotency it wasn't just physical it was mental it was mind over matter what are the medical conditions that we talk about is psychosomatic s' and that's the state of being where the mind is closed to any other alternative for wholeness that's what psychosomatic is your mind is absolutely closed to any other alternative for being whole and so he was psychosomatic his lameness was self-imposed someone is that way so it in other words you know people talk I was born this way but you don't have to die that way that's the thing it was learned helplessness and he learned excuses he learned excuses and Jesus said look it's time for you to stand up on your own two feet take up your bed and walk stand up on your own two feet and you are going to get your personal empowerment back where you're not relying and leaning on people and your boss and to make things happen for you where you have networks that you're equally contributing to one another success is not just one of you in your network that's successful it's all of you that are successful you're not gonna be the only one in your family that is successful your sons are gonna be successful your daughter is gonna be successful you're not their own gonna be the only one paying everybody's bills because look they made their decisions and you make yours and that usually happens in people's family where there's one successful one and then the whole lazy family said can you pay my bill can you pay my car note you got more and then they're resentful cuz you got more you got more than us you know we gotta work but you get your own job no nobody else around here and it's almost as if they're resentful and they bring a spirit of entitlement but the first thing you need to do whatever you want need to move into a new network of successful people the first thing you have to determine what are you going to bring to that network you you can't just take you cannot just take from a relationship never engage in a relationship where you are not prepared to give first give and it shall be given you the question is how can i enhance your on your life how can i enhance it so that you are more successful more happy more productive or you bring your own happiness more productive more successful more empowered how can i benefit you now if you sit down and you analyze that you are not able to benefit that relationship don't engage in it but the first thing you need to ask what am i bringing to the table and you've got to engage in a relationship from that because I've discovered that all you've got in the universe is takers people just take take take take take so if you can want once what you've given them dries up they'll go to the next and they'll go to the next the best thing that you can do is have someone in your immediate relationship that can help you to build capacity for next you see a lot of people can keep you where you are but can they build capacity in you for the next can they provide enough tension enough pressure to make you want to change can they can they hold you accountable for the potential that you have on the inside of you have they ever asks you what you have the potential for see when you have conversations with people and you talk about potential it's gonna show up in the form of a vision so another way another way to address a person concerning potential is to ask them what is your vision for your life what's your vision when people ask but how you gonna do that say just give me a moment and let me think cuz you could think your way into anything and out of anything you could think your way to something you can think your way away from something just give me a minute to think to move from where you are it doesn't take a lot of effort look at Exodus 23 30 to move from where you are it didn't take much effort for that man to walk out of his condition it just took him took it just took him making addition it just took making a decision I'm excited I'm stumbling on my own words cuz I know where I'm going in the message so I'm trying to get there real fast it just took a decision it doesn't take much effort you don't even have to have ten percent right 20 percent fifty percent you don't have to have 99 percent all you need is one percent you just need one percent effort not 2% 5% not quantum leap when you walk out of there you don't have to quantum leap at anything you just have to do one thing more oh that that that's right and amen is too weak for me that is a weak amen because I'm talking to you and I'm giving you some facts you are gonna interact with this message now I'm getting passionate because I'm pretty mad right now that somebody didn't tell you earlier and I know they didn't tell you I don't listen you don't need another person in your life making you feel good about where you are it's alright ain't alright I want more and I'm not apologetic with it I'm not apologetic about it one more and I'm going after it somebody has to be introduced into your life to bring you into a crisis and there's so many people that wiggle out of relationships that God has sent to them you know why cuz everybody else made you feel good and then when a real individual that has been assigned to you comes into your life they make you uncomfortable they make you uncomfortable with with you accepting mediocrity this ain't good enough where everybody else I'm not everybody else you have anybody in your life it helps you to figure out what you're good at to help you figure out what you have potential for nobody to speak to your potential to tell you you can do better to tell you stop feeling sorry for yourself and stop telling that same story you told it last year year before you told it to you best friend that walked out on you shut it down let's talk about where we're going let's not talk about where we've been where we going what do you want how do you want your life to unfold and God can show you that and you don't need to get it all right but you do need to need to get something right and it doesn't need to be a quantum leap just small little steps exodus 20:3 30 by little and little I will dry them out from before you until they'll be increased and inherit the land this is what you call the 1% theory of success and prosperity 1% theory now listen to how powered this powerful this is one extra degree can make all the difference Martin Luther King said if you can't fly run if you can't run walk if you can't walk crawl but whatever you do just don't sit here and act Rifai and die just one degree can change hot water into steam with steam we can power a locomotive and generate electrical power to light up an entire city it only takes one degree the average margin of victory for the last 25 years in all major golf tournaments combined was less than three strokes the margin for victory between Olympic gold medal and no medal at all is extremely small and usually less than a minute it's a fraction of a minute it's a fraction of an inch is a fraction of a mile it's a fraction of a point in 2004 in man's 800 million millimeter race the margin of victory listen to this was point seven one seconds it's the one percent principle at the Indy 500 the average margin for victory for the past 10 years has been one point five four seconds the winners average take-home was six hundred and twenty five thousand three hundred twenty four dollars Jess over a half a million dollars here's something that is really amazing the 1% Theory the chimpanzees DNA differs from ours by one point six percent one point six percent is the 1% theory that means when you walk out of here it's not that hard to succeed it's not that hard to be great it's not that hard to be prosperous it's not that hard to be wealthy you just have to do it little by little by the inch is a cinch by the mile or take a while so you'd never be afraid to do something that you've never done before because you don't have the experience you don't have the education you've got to keep trying so the paralytic man I could imagine him getting up I don't think he ran a marathon because his muscles had atrophied I believe he got up he had to learn how to walk again and he had to choose whether he'll keep on walking I decree and declare when you walk away from this stage of your life you're gonna keep on walking and you'll never sit on your potential another day he had bought into the lie for 38 years and it paralyzed his ability it paralyzed his potential but one word from God God through Jesus Christ gave him the opportunity to change his destiny by demanding that he makes a decision outside of the cultural conventions and man's expectations they didn't expect anyone that was in that little pool or near that pool under the portrait under the porches you know it's time for you to get up off of the porch anyway you've been sitting on the stoop for too long get up off the porch and walk away from the porch but it started with a decision that he had to make one decision changes life forever so there are nine important decisions that you are going to have to make the first decision that you're gonna have to make about your life is who you're gonna serve and it was just what they said choose this day whom you were going to serve and he said that's for me in my house I've made a decision we're gonna serve the Lord number one number two you have to make a decision very important decision how you will live and as a believer you're gonna live by the fruit of the Spirit number three you got to decide where you will go where you gonna be go at the end of this month where you gonna go at the end of this year where are you gonna end up at the end of your life where are you gonna end up and I feel the prophetic download right now and I believe that someone here is being anointed right now with a vision and you are journeying in the realm of the Spirit God is showing you that you are here but you could be there take that seriously because it's God speaking to you and he's gonna he's gonna begin to download the vision he has for you he's gonna give you a strategy and you've got to believe what he's showing you right now and he's gonna give you a strategy he's gonna tell you who to call he's gonna tell you what to do and it's gonna happen right now even as you were speaking to me even as I'm speaking to you and he's speaking to me it's gonna happen you've got to decide your life strategy and I tell a lot of people you know when when people come to me and they said you know I messed up I said look did you get what you wanted to get out of this decision no well don't beat yourself over the head at least you recognize that your strategy was wrong so let's not condemn you because of the outcome let's fix the strategy to get a different outcome so you have strategies for everything you have relationships strategies you have a strategy for how you attract friends you've got a strategy for how you're living everything in life is a strategy so when people talk to me firstly I remove all the guilt I said that was your strategy does it work no did it give you what you want it no so let's fix the strategy so when you see alcoholics that's a strategy when you see drug addicts they're using drugs as a strategy to do something are you with me lying is a strategy or everything is a strategy in life because the strategy is attached to a specific outcome so when you you know if your belief you're not gonna be hanging out in the clubs right but on a Friday night happy hour that's people's strategy for getting happiness because what they want is happiness are you with me so they're drinking to be happy but then they have an outcome they end up having hangovers and then some unfortunately end up being alcoholics but that was a strategy do you understand and so people have all kinds of strategy you read Bible stories you see a disaster that happens where an entire city burns down and just about everybody in the city dies and lot in his family they live he has a wife two girls they live look at their strategy they've lost everything so when they come out in order for them to deal with the grief number one lock decides I can't expend my energy to build anything more and God said look I have this great mountain for you I have a mountain represents Authority power and prosperity so it's in your future you got Authority power and prosperity he said no let me go to lust it's just a little city and let me just hang out there I'm accepting mediocrity just that I just need enough to get by why because he didn't want to expend any more energy building wealth building anything his wife got stuck remember she turned into a pillar of salt it was in a literal pillar of soul what it simply means was she was walking forward but not moving on because it was too painful for her to move on so she just swallowed her her her disappointment with life swallowed it and and never moved past that point never she was not gonna build a game because she's too afraid that she'll lose it again so she's stuck and then the girls their strategy was to be promiscuous and though that was their strategy of dealing listen to this dealing with life's transitions you see a lot of us have life strategies but we don't have transitional strategies so when something happens we end up being stopped because we don't have transitional strategies we are not here but we are not there we're somewhere in between and we end up in this limbo because we don't have a transitional strategy how are you gonna get from point A to point B if you're stuck in the middle and a lot of people live right there they just shift their life into neutral and they live there and they don't expend the energy necessary to go to the next so they just stay right there life just keeps happening you know and they're indifferent because they don't want to be disappointed anymore so they're indifferent and different means I don't care if it happens I don't care if it doesn't I don't care if I go to heaven I don't care if I go to hell they don't they just don't care anymore and there are a lot of people that have been disappointed in life and that's some of you and now you don't put in you don't put the energies in it anymore and I've seen it over and over again and I see people that live and in different life talented amazing people and some of you are right here right now in my life group and some of you are listening to me right now you've got great talent you know you have great talents great ability but something happened something went wrong you were disappointed you had dreams and it didn't work out and then you decide okay well I'll just accept this you don't accept life when life strikes that you strike it back stop asking why me start saying try me your life strategies are important and you've got to make a decision about your life strategies you've got to make a decision and this is an on-going activity and you know why this is why coaching is important mentorship is important because you get an opportunity to get trade secrets from people who if didn't did what you're trying to do and it may not be the same but you've got to have people around you that are further than where you are you have to have those people and even if you have to pay them go ahead and pay them pay them and get what they got it's an amazing world and and the opportunities are so amazing that are out there success is not just for some it's for all of us some of us could see down the road but we can't see around the corner that's the difference between a person that knows trends and trendsetters the trendsetters determine what people do the people that keep up with the trends they can be successful you want to be a trend setter you want to not only see down the road you want to see around the corner and that's what so what what a vision is all about being able to see around the corner see around the band people are afraid of the band in the road so they end up stopping and building a camp and they never make that turn they never go to the next because it means that you're gonna have to give up what you are so that you can become everything that you have the potential to be but you know how to navigate this you don't just don't know how to navigate this and fear sets in it takes a lot of courage to go for what God whoa it takes a lot of courage and it takes a lot of faith and faith always takes you into the realm of risk always but never never go back never go backward I don't know who I'm talking to never go backward never go back to the familiar never go back to the comfortable never go back Who am I talking to because it's culture that's pulling you back and you know how to navigate the culture that you've been delivered from but God now brings you into a new culture that means that you have to develop a new paradigm a new mindset and that's hard that's hard work especially if you have someone that raises a bar and say this is the bar I would never ever go back I would die first before I go back do you understand now you've got to be able to make decisions about your life strategies how are you gonna get from point A to point B and we're gonna talk about life strategies in a minute you got to make this decision about your relationships this is number five you got to be deliberate number six you got to make a distance about your core values your core values are your non-negotiable if they put a gun to your head you're not gonna compromise what are your core values a lot of people are Christians and they compromise their Christian values you know why because there's not their values so that's why you see compromise ation all over in the Christian realm because we never took time to say these are my values I'm a Christian and I love being a Christian and I'm not anything other than a Christian so that means I want to be like Christ full-stop and I'm not gonna compromise it because it's not popular there are things I will not do for no amount of money you cannot buy me to put you to do it you get with some people they're gonna be one way with one set of people in another way with another set of people they're gonna be deep over here and shallow over here you lack integrity what are your core values what are you honor what do you respect what do you want high on my values is loyalty high on my values is respect high on my values is honor there are some people that don't can't even articulate it high on my values is hard work that's very high productivity is better but productivity is high on my values as my staff I don't care how you do it but here's the goals you can skate and get them done you can do back with flips and get them done but here are the goals here's the productivity my staff to tell you I don't call I don't acts when they show up I don't know what time they show up in my office I don't know what time they leave I'm expecting them to be honorable nine o'clock ding ding ding ding ding when the alarm goes off you better be in the office why but I respect them and I trust them why because trust us I is it's easy to get trust from me but once it's gone I never trust you again so I show up trusting I trust you but keep your word and if you can't keep your word tell me why let's renegotiate what are your core values what are your non-negotiables I don't drink I don't smoke Jesus turned water into wine that was Jesus I'm not Jesus I never turn water into wine I don't drink it is not my Christian value but you notice I'm talking about my values I don't know what your values are I'm not gonna judge you but I know what works for me to whom much is given much is required I'm a moral ethical leader so I got to lead with morality lead with ethics are you getting this what are your core values you got to make a list of them then you got to break through the best way to get a core value is to read the fruit of the Spirit that's good core values you gotta have a you've got to make a decision about your focus what else your your what holds your attention what holds your attention what holds your attention who holds your attention what holds your attention who holds your attention what you focus on determines the reality of your future and if you don't expect something to show up in your future you better not be focusing on it now and it's easy see the enemy of focus is destruction what distracts you who distraction watch this I know what my destructors are people distract me so I have to be careful because I love people I'm always there can I talk to you sure even if I have a thousand things that means I suffer where am I gonna suffer I'm a completist so if I have a goal today and her friend has an emergency I'm there right but guess what if I give them an hour that means I got to make up the hour somewhere so guess what suffers my sleep so I'm giving I'm giving you my wisdom I'm giving you my time and I'm giving you my health so value what I give you are you with me what breaks your focus is it TV is it your cell phone I can't believe how many people sleep with their telephone like the telephone is their spouse you remember the movie her where this guy was involved with this that the the voice on the telephone I wanted to find out she was talking to everybody turn that phone off make your back your bedroom a telephone free unless you're a medical doctor or something like that when you're going here when you go to bed turn the phone off and put it away from you yes what some people sleep ding they wake up ding they wake up ding they wake up some of you are laughing don't laugh out too loud because I know I'm talking about you gotta make a decision about what you feed on would you feed on intellectually what'd you feed on spiritually what'd you feed on nutritionally you've got to make decisions about what you do with your time what you do with your talent what you do with your life experiences what you do with your education what you do with the resources that God has given you what you do with your money what you do with your life what you do with your gifts what you do with opportunities what you do with your network what you do with your relationship what you do with your potential you got to make decisions finally there's all kinds of decisions that you have to make but here's big picture and I want to make big big strokes number one you got to make a decision about your spiritual life choose this you this day whom you will serve choose life or death choose blessing or cursing God doesn't send people to hell they send themselves and this is where people mess up they argue Oh Christianity about who's going to heaven and who's going to hell no it's not Christianity is about having dominion here in this area that's what Christianity is about now your decisions determine your eternal location not God God is not his will that any should perish number two you've got to make decisions about your personal life strategies personal life strategies though I come in the volume of the book it is written of me do you know what's written in your book you got to make a decision about your personal brand how many of you are business owners how many of your business owners okay be unsettling a product you got to sell yourself people don't buy products and services they buy into you and then what you offer is what they buy so you got to be able to sweat the details in your personal brand so that you couldn't sweat the equity in your personal brand this is what God did for Moses Moses when he left he was an ex-slave an ex-convict nobody respected him because he ran away I mean you know the Egyptians didn't respect him and the Hebrews didn't respect him so now God is introducing him to his purpose and said look you're gonna be a deliverer you're gonna be a lawyer gonna be one of the greatest lawyers ever and he was like who me yeah you introducing him to his personal brand and then he says okay so if I'm gonna do all of this who is endorsing me so God said when you go you can use the equity in my name tell him that I am that I am until you the you increase the equity in your name this this is why people drop names this is why they have photo ops so they take a picture of this person and that person whoever has a big name they take a picture they put it on their Facebook the social media Instagram they put it there what are they doing they're trying to say I'm with this person so I'm as greatest person they're borrowing the equity of someone else's name watch this so when you go to work people say oh yes I used to work for Price Waterhouse I used to work for this I used to work for that person and I know this person personally what are they doing borrowing the equity so people can perceive them larger than life now what happens if something happens to that person's personal brand so if they go hmmm guess what happens to you you go so what you want to do if God gives you an opportunity to be around someone that's powerful yes borrow their brand take a few photo ops but eventually you want to increase your own brand so that now people want to use you in their photo op can I take a picture with you you're not saying can I take a picture with you the people are saying can I take a picture with you what are they doing they're recognizing that your personal brand is bigger than life and they need to borrow it for themselves are you getting this so you want your name when you think of Martin Luther King what's the image that comes to your mind when you think of Gandhi Mother Teresa Steven jobs when you think of bill bill bill [Music] Bill Gates when you think of these great people then that image come to your mind when you think of Lady gaga when you think of Hitler when you think of Idi Amin wait isn't is isn't that doesn't that make you feel a certain way and think a certain way but that's only what a brandy is is what people think and feel about you after you go got it think about this you got to think about your vision you got to make decisions about your visions first thing you got to make a decision to write it you got a you're gonna write out you're gonna run out your vision completely then you got to think about your legacy inheritance is what you leave legacy is who you leave is there anybody gonna be left to carry on your name to carry on your work people build great works great ministries and die a one generation later nobody's talking about what legacy are you going to leave for them let me give you a few more you got to make a decision about your nutritional health don't dig your grave with your fork you got to think about what you're putting in your mouth is it gonna be healthy let me ask you did you take your vitamins today how many herbs and vitamins did you take how much water did you drink I know you meant to drink water but you meant to drink it yesterday and you didn't drink it you meant to drink it today and

how are you gonna make a difference in this world what are you going to do and sometimes it's through your children so times a mother has the awesome responsibility of raising the next the next great doctor the next great president the next great scientists are you with me so sometimes your contribution is in parenting the next so those of you that are single parents poor everything that you've got into that child because there's only 18 years nowadays is 24 years because you got to get them through to their master's degree but back in the day was 18 years but get them give them the best of your time if you're a single woman there's some things that you shouldn't do stop bringing all those man into your house with your children and then the last is your financial life these are the 10 areas that you've got to make decisions in and you've got to do it deliberately over the next few recordings over the next few lessons we're going to go through each one of them and then we're going to give you principles this is how you make decisions financially this is how you make decisions socially this is how you make decisions educationally this out you make personal decisions this is how you make like change how many of you would love to nada make decisions a man that a man was weak thank you I'm assuming that you're shocked I'm assuming that you're convicted yes Jesus gave this men an opportunity to make a decision Jesus did not make a decision for him he gave him an opportunity to make a decision for himself what did he do he empowered him your destiny is going to be altered through an empowerment when you understand that you have to take 100% responsibility for everything for where you end up for how you feel it doesn't matter how many accidents that you have to go through before you go to work when you show up you know that that road is filled with accidents and you still leave the same time you cannot keep telling your boss I'm late because of an accident you gotta be able to say I'm late because I left late but if you want your job even leave earlier I'm gonna make that decision you got to stop blaming your weight on baby fat your baby is 45 years old just say I remember every calorie a fried chicken the fried chicken wings you gotta stop blaming your finances or lector off when your boss not paying you enough your boss did not hire you to make you rich he hired you to make him rich you got to stop blaming your emotions on people you choose to feel that way but you can feel different you got to stop blaming and take 100% responsibility for where you are right now because if you could take responsibility for where you are right now where you ended up in your life where you are where you are emotionally where you are physically where you are financially where you are spiritually if you could take 100% for your habits your addiction take 100% for everything you are already 80% away from being whole you just got another twenty if you add that 1% principal doing one thing more towards being where you want to be in a year's time in two years time in those ten areas and you do that one a day in the ten areas that means you are dedicated to doing 10 things a day to what's being where you want to be at the end of the year and at the end of your life it's just a matter of time before you get there there are 365 days in a year 365 times 10 is 3065 who cannot accomplish their dreams with three thousand six hundred and fifty steps yet you can be what God wants you to be do what God wants you to do you can become whatever you want to be if you just understand that the decision is yours the next move is not God's the next move is yours thank you very much let's pray our Father a God we give you praise and honor there's so many decisions that we have to make such a challenge even as we go back over a notes we are all challenged to do something different and it doesn't have to be that quantum leap it's just that one thing that we are choosing to do one thing different and I pray father that you would empower us so you would give us the wisdom Holy Spirit that you would convict us that we would interact with this message and our lives can be changing truly we can become a blessing not only to the kingdom but to uh in our industries in our in in this world in our communities we bless you for everything that you have done in Jesus name Amen god bless you amen what a powerful word there's power in your decisions thank you doctor trim for challenging us and if you're watching around the world there's a couple of decisions I want you to make I don't want your experience with us to end right here we want you to become a partner with the ministry so I want you to decide right now to sow a seed into this

Atlanta Georgia on December 7th and 8th for end your year strong you've got to be there and guess what if you don't make the decision now the times gonna pass you by and everybody's gonna come back
