"My Enemy hates my Leadership.
I will Always Do What's Right."
Champions Prayer - Prodigy Athletics
Today's Coach is Adrian Rogers.
Coach Rogers talks about a great offensive game plan. He says we need to be on the attack instead of just playing defense.
The Word of God is our offensive Weapon. When Jesus was being tempted in the Wilderness after 40 days of fasting He was very weak but Filled with the Holy Spirit.
The enemy tried to tempt Jesus with Power, Riches and an Alternative Game Plan other than going to the Cross. Instead of being conservative and defensive Jesus used the Playbook and went on the offensive. Luke 4
When I grew up the church said, "No you can't do that. Watch out for that. Don't make a mistake."
I walked around paranoid. I asked myself,
"What can I do?".
Then God spoke to my heart and said go on the Offensive. I saw 3-4000 Hippies going on the Offensive with the Word of God at Calvary Chapel in Costa Mesa.
These Hippies were strung out on Pot, LSD and Heroin. They had no future and no hope. Their Lives were Empty, Lonely, Paranoid and Ashamed. The only out for them was Drugs. Drugs tried to fill the emptiness but it created an even bigger hole in the soul.
Until God used Kay and Chuck Smith to reach them with His Offensive Playbook. The First Play was to Receive Christ into their Lives and allow God to Transform them and the Next Generation.
They went from "Make Love and not War" (Vietnam) to "They will know you are my disciples by your love for one another."
They served communities and worked for the Lord helping to re-build the 70's - 80's Generation giving people a future and a hope in God. They were the Nehemiah Generation.
Today those Hippies are very successful business leaders and Pastors serving the Lord and Communities throughout the World.
What was the Key? They put Faith into Action. They got in the Game.
Get the Book Harvest by Chuck Smith and read their Stories.
Now we say, "What can we Do for the Lord and our fellow man - TEAMMATES?"
Go on the Offensive. Open His Playbook and Use it. Let's Put our Faith into Action.
If you are depressed and down get a Purpose and a Plan of Action. Get in the Game and watch how your Life will now be a Miracle for Others.
What an Incredible Feeling it is knowing you allowed God to use you to help Transform someone's life for Him.
Do you want to beat depression? Get in the Game and Put Faith into Action.
Have a Purpose to Lift others out of a Black Hole and into God's Loving Hands.
What a great Purpose!
Go on the Offensive!
Carpe Diem - Seize the Day!
Now Just Go! Own the Day!

Playing on the Offense
"I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." John 10:10
Do you know what's wrong with many of us? We're trying to get out of trouble rather than get into righteousness.
We're so focused on the defensive side of Christianity that we forget about the offensive, positive approach.
Wouldn't you like to get up and stay up? Wouldn't you like to experience the abundant life our Lord talks about? Jesus came to give us the eternal life. He came to give us the abundant life. We need to do like the old song says, "Accentuate the positive. Eliminate the negative."
Why don't you determine today that you are going to get right with God and stay right with God? That you're going to take steps to lead a life of obedience.
