ARE YOU A PEOPLE PLEASER?

Team:

Do you worry about what people think?

Do you try to Fit In?

ARE YOU A PEOPLE PLEASER?

"Fearing people is a dangerous trap, but trusting the LORD means safety."
(Proverbs 29:25, NLT)

Friends, the word of the God also tells us the Fear of Man is a Snare.

What is a Snare? A Snare is a trap that trips you up and ropes you in.

When we fear what people think we make huge mistakes.

ARE YOU A PEOPLE PLEASER?

It could be Peer Pressure.

It could be a boy friend or girl friend.

It could be the Fear of:
"What if this and what if that?"

When we Compromise our Beliefs and cave into Fear we are being Controlled and Manipulated.

ARE YOU A PEOPLE PLEASER?

When we Stand Firm on the Promises of God we get Strength.

"but those who Wait on the LORD will Renew their Strength. They will Soar on Wings like Eagles; they will Run and not grow weary, they will Walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40:12

Waiting means Occupying or Moving Forward while Waiting. Waiting means to Continue working toward your Goals.

Our Physical body is moving forward while our Spiritual Life is Waiting and Occupying and Resting in the Lord.

ARE YOU A PEOPLE PLEASER?

Nehemiah is a great example of how this works. In Nehemiah we see Nehemiah approaching the King with a plan to rebuild Jerusalem. As Nehemiah is Moving Forward accomplishing his goals one at a time as he Prays:

The king said to me, "What is it you want?" Then I prayed to the God of heaven, Nehemiah 2:4

This is Walking with God. As Nehemiah is moving toward accomplishing his Goals he is talking with God.

When we live our lives in constant communication with God nothing can stop us.

ARE YOU A PEOPLE PLEASER?

Fear goes out the window!
"Perfect Love casts out all Fear!"
1 John 4:18

(We also need to take time for our own Meditation and Prayer)

So next time you Fear this or that will happen if....

Remember God loves you so much he took your Fear on His back as He was nailed to a Tree for our Sins.

THAT IS PERFECT LOVE!

DON'T FEAR PEOPLE and what they think because it will Trip us up.

ARE YOU A PEOPLE PLEASER?

We when we Trust in God we Fly like Eagles!

Now Just Go!! Own The Day!

BALAAM - ROMNEY

FYI

"What sorrow awaits them! For they follow in the footsteps of Cain, who killed his brother. Like Balaam, they deceive people for money. And like Korah, they perish in their rebellion."
Jude 1:11

BALAAM - ROMNEY

Numbers 31:16

Balaam-Romney made $20,000,000 off of a Molech (Stericycle) investment in the Old Testament when Balaam sold out to Balak.

BALAAM - ROMNEY

Balaam-Romney returned to King Balak and informed the king on how to get the Israelites to curse themselves by enticing them with prostitutes and unclean food sacrificed to Ishtar - Semiramis - Ashtoreth (goddess of sex and mother of Tammuz or known as Molech).

BALAAM - ROMNEY

The Israelites fell into transgression due to these traps and as a result God allowed them to get deadly plagues or AID's and STD's.

Nine months later the babies that were conceived on that day were sacrificed to another idol and burned at the alter of Molech and Stericycle.

BALAAM - ROMNEY

In the same way Planned Parenthood hands out the Ashtorteth Idols known as Contraceptives.

When the "mistakes" were born they were offered to Molech-Stericycle as human sacrifices.

BALAAM - ROMNEY

Molech-Stericycle then disposed of the fetus body parts by burning them alive.

Balaam and Romney-Bain Capital made 23 percent on their investment in Molech and Stericycle.

BALAAM - ROMNEY

A few years later Romney signed into law in Mass. Romney Care with $50 co-pay abortions.

What a great way to hedge your investment in Molech-Stericycle.

Remember, this is the company that disposed the fetus body parts after the abortions.

BALAAM - ROMNEY

Molech-Stericycle has the contract with Planned Parenthood. The Tax Payer Funded Abortions in Planned Parenthood were using the same Tax Payer dollars that were used for the abortions.

After Planned Parenthood received their Tax Payer Funded Medicare Reimbursement they paid Molech- Stericycle.

So Romney-Bain made $20,000,000 off of the American Tax Payers to pay for and clean up the Sin of Planned Parenthood.

BALAAM - ROMNEY

Some of the fetus remains were also sold to Genetic Research companies funded by Bain-Romney.

In the 1930's and 1940's Prescott Bush was a major Stock Holder in another Investment Company known as Brown Brothers Harriman.

The concentration camps in Germany were funded by Brown Brothers Harriman. Brown Brothers Harriman Corp. is associated with Bain-Romney Capital. The two firms have overlapping board members making decisions for both companies.

BALAAM - ROMNEY

So who do I vote for?

When Israel was faced with a dilemma like this they did what was right. They called on God and turned their Hearts back to the Lord.

We are in this dilemma because we have chosen as a Nation to put our heads in the sand.

"if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and heal their land." II Chronicles 7:14

Hopefully we find another candidate.

Stay Tuned - More To Come!

IMMEDIATELY THEY LEFT AND FOLLOWED HIM!

Team:

What do you think of when you hear the word Immediate?

Hurry Up! Let's Go! ect..

Immediate can also be a Sense Of Urgency!

IMMEDIATELY THEY LEFT AND FOLLOWED HIM!

"And they immediately left their nets, and followed Him." Matthew 4:20

Luke 5:11 says, "So they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him."

IMMEDIATELY THEY LEFT AND FOLLOWED HIM!

Jesus was always a Man Of Action and Urgency. Even His Prayers had a Sense Of Urgency!

Everything Jesus did had a Purpose. Jesus saw these four guys fishing day after day. He saw them having Great Days and not so Great Days fishing.

IMMEDIATELY THEY LEFT AND FOLLOWED HIM!

Jesus saw that their lives were lives of getting by day after day with no meaning and purpose.

Jesus showed them Vision and Opportunity by the way He lived.

IMMEDIATELY THEY LEFT AND FOLLOWED HIM!

Jesus Created a need in their lives that was so Urgent they Immediately left the only source of income and purpose they knew of.

IMMEDIATELY THEY LEFT AND FOLLOWED HIM!

How are you right now? Have your Dreams and Aspirations come to a Stop?

Has your way come to a dead end?

Are you out of Answers and now out of Questions?

IMMEDIATELY THEY LEFT AND FOLLOWED HIM!

Are you just Surviving Day after Day?

Jesus is walking by and saying,
"Follow Me Now!"

Now is the time! Hurry UP!

IMMEDIATELY THEY LEFT AND FOLLOWED HIM!

Just Go! Carpe Diem

IT'S ABOUT TIME!

Team:

When was the last time you were preparing for an event? Did you notice as the event got closer you counted the minutes and then the seconds?

IT'S ABOUT TIME!

All of us have only so much Time in this world. As we get older time speeds up doesn't it?

IT'S ABOUT TIME!

"So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom." Psalm 90:12

IT'S ABOUT TIME!

If you knew the exact day you would leave this planet to be with your Maker what would you do with your Time?

IT'S ABOUT TIME!

The fact is we don't know the day we will leave this earth but it is approaching.

Psalm 90:12 says:

Teach - Be Coached by the Holy Spirit.

Prepare - Use Time Wisely.

Application - Apply what you Learned.

Wisdom - When Knowledge is Applied.

IT'S ABOUT TIME!

Now it is Time to Execute on the Field.

"The only thing even in this world are the number of hours in a day. The difference in winning or losing is what you do with those hours." --
Woody Hayes Ohio State Buckeyes

IT'S ABOUT TIME!

Just Go! Win The Day!

RISE UP!

Team:

Have you ever been knocked down or put down?

Has anyone ever ridiculed you and made
you feel stupid?

RISE UP!

"But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."
(Isaiah 40:31, KJV)

RISE UP!

Friends, sometimes God uses these situations to move us beyond what we thought we could do.

However, we do have a choice in the matter. God told Jonah to rise up and get out of bed!

RISE UP!

God had a great opportunity for Jonah but Jonah went the other way.

RISE UP!

Jonah slept a lot. Usually when people sleep a lot they are depressed. Jonah had been knocked down so many times in his life he finally gave up and went to sleep.

There are many great leaders in the Bible that suffered from Clinical Depression and OCD. I believe Jonah was one of them. Others were: Moses, Elijah, Paul, Gideon ect...

God used these people to Accomplish Great Things!

RISE UP!

Micah was the prophet that predicted that Jesus would be born in Bethlehem 500 years before it happened.

Micah went through some tough times just like us. Here is what he said when he was put down and ridiculed:

"Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise..."
(Micah 7:8, NIV)

Micah, fought back! He got up and said,
"It's not how hard you hit. It's how hard you get hit and keep getting up and going for more. Life will knock you down and step on you and keep you down if you let it. But that's not you! You're better then that!"

RISE UP!

It's not whether you get knocked down,it's whether you get up.- Vince Lombardi

Winners never quit and quitters never win.- Vince Lombardi

RISE UP!

Now Just Go!! Win The Day!

Q&A: What would be my daily spending if I were to travel the entire USA coast to coast for a year?

I know it sounds a bit far-fetched but I’m having like a complete year off after March and wish to use this time to explore every nook and corner of America….from Miami Beach to New York and Boston..to Mid-West, Dakotas all the way to Washington…California, Nevada, Arizona, Texas, the Deep South…places like Kansas and Utah (want to meet Mormon nutcases …and of course Virginia, Washington DC.

Assuming I don’t stay in one place for too long, although would like to spend more than one week in places like New York City, Las Vegas or San Francisco…what is the best way to go about it? Is there a Lonely Planet guide?

I also want to explore alone as I hate guided tours. It’s also fun to find new company wherever you go.

I have savings of USD 10,000. Plus, there could be some loans. I can stay in cheap motels, travel discount…need suggestions on how to get around the country cheaply? Bus? Train?
discount motels usa.

thelordismyshepard:wooaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh thats A LOT!!!!

Chefao:I think 10K is a good start and hey, if you run out of money you just go home, save some more and start again where you left off.

Are you a US Citizen? If not then you have to consider how you go about obtaining a visa that will let you remain in the US for more than the normal 90-days. Not impossible but something to think about.

If this is not an issue then how to you plan to go between places? Bus? Train? Fly? Drive? Flying and Train are quite expensive but you can do much of the US by bus, especially with the time that you have. MEGABUS for example runs from DC to NYC and can be as cheap as $ 17 one-way depending on the time you go. Larger cities are going to cost you more to sleep and eat then smaller towns but then there isn’t too much to see in the small towns.

I’ve attached some links below but if you do not plan to drive then highly suggest you read the backpacker type links and take advice from those that have already done it. They will hep you save your financial resources and also suggest the “must-see” places.

EDITED NOTE – Geez Ammom – I don’t think he meant any harm in his off the cuff comment but you are obviously very defensive. I think your husband should get himself a couple more wives, like the real Mormons, and kick you to the curb. You’re as miserable as cancer you brainwashed “nut”. BTW – Salt Lake is not Mecca and you pay way too much for the privilege of calling yourself a moron, sorry, I mean mormon.

Ammon:Mormons give more money to charity according to income tax returns (even if you take away all religious contributions) more than any other group of people in the World, and no other group of people is even in the same ball park as far as that is concerned.

Nothing more nutty than that. Nothing more nutty than helping people throughout the World live a better life. Yes, lets all go out onto the internet or somewhere else and disparage Mormons…

who are the very people who are helping people.

The only people are aren’t “nutty” are the ones who are narcissistic, who are drinking copious amounts of alcohol and who are popping Prozac pills like they are M&M’s.

Because Mormons believe in living a drug free clean lifestyle, it is Latter Day Saints we must rush over and disparage every chance we get. That makes perfect sense.

Or perhaps not. Maybe just maybe keeping the commandments of Jesus Christ, and being a Good Samaritan is the right way to live. Maybe.

http://Mormon.org Chat.

God bless.

SumDude:100 hotel, 50 food, 50 transportation fees, 100 misc (laundry, entrance fees,,,,)

= 300 per day x 300 days = $ 90,000. [not counting expenses you leave behind, like either rent on a place, or storage rental for your stuff, health insurance premiums, co-pays while on the road,,,,]

or your way; 9,000+/300+ days per yr = $ 30/day

Either you need to get more money, or scale way back (to like 30 days) – and then consider a “see America” pass on greyhound or amtrak (if still available – and you can sleep in transit some nights).

{ Anything beyond 30 days will get old fast. }

Brad Hart:I would think at least $ 100 per day. So 365X100= $ 36,000 maybe you can find a sugar mama on the way LOL

WHEN WE ARE IN TROUBLE HE STANDS!

Team:

Have you ever been in Trouble?

Sometimes it is a life threatening situation when we are in Trouble.

WHEN WE ARE IN TROUBLE HE STANDS!

Other times it is Uncertainty about our Future Plans and Goals.

WHEN WE ARE IN TROUBLE HE STANDS!

Life has many Uncertainties that can cause us to get Worried and Anxious.

Worried means Strangled. In other words the Enemy is Choking us to death.

Stephen was filled with the Holy Spirit and lived a life full of Zeal. Sometimes we don't understand why things happen but when things happen Jesus Stands!

WHEN WE ARE IN TROUBLE HE STANDS!

"But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God." Acts 7:55

WHEN WE ARE IN TROUBLE HE STANDS!

The Bible tells us that Jesus sits at the right hand of God. When we are in trouble (like Steven was) Jesus Stands.

Why am I Here? He Stands!

Why am I Lonely? He Stands!

Why am I Depressed? He Stands!

Why am I Guilty? He Stands!

Why am I Afraid? He Stands!

Friends, Jesus Stands Up to help us every day!

Whenever you feel all alone remember, Jesus Stands to help you out!

WHEN WE ARE IN TROUBLE HE STANDS!

Just Go! Win The Day!

YOUR FLAWS ARE GOD'S OPPORTUNITIES!

Team:

Do you feel Flawed? Do you feel Insecure about the way God made you?

All of us have flaws. Every Great person
in the Bible had Flaws.

Abraham Lincoln had a very poor self image and look what God did with him.

YOUR FLAWS ARE GOD'S OPPORTUNITIES!
In Romans Paul tells us that all of us have fallen short of what is expected and have Flaws.

"Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it." (Psalm 139:14 NLT)

YOUR FLAWS ARE GOD'S OPPORTUNITIES!
Friends, what we see as Flaws God sees as Opportunities. God will use our Flaws to show how Great He will be when you Overcome!!!

YOUR FLAWS ARE GOD'S OPPORTUNITIES!
Here is a Great message from Rick Warren:

When people are hurting, they need simple truth, not simplistic truth. It's not enough to tell someone to pray, read the Bible, or go to church. You have to help them know how to make changes in their lives.

YOUR FLAWS ARE GOD'S OPPORTUNITIES!
And we can't make changes in our lives until we understand our identity. You cannot become all that God created you to be until you embrace your identity — the unmistakably unique and flawed you that God intentionally made for a purpose. You are wonderfully complex (Psalm 139:14).

YOUR FLAWS ARE GOD'S OPPORTUNITIES!
To fulfill God's purpose for you, you have to look at every dimension of your life and understand five factors that influence your identity.

Then, you have to make the most of what you're given. We may have all been given different parents, pains, problems, and potential, but we will all be held accountable one day for what we did with those factors.

YOUR FLAWS ARE GOD'S OPPORTUNITIES!

It's like a game of five-card stud poker: You don't get to mix your cards. You don't get to choose your cards. You have to play the hand your dealt.

The first factor that makes you who you are is your chemistry. This is your DNA, your genes, your hormones, your chemical makeup. Some of you were born with hypersensitivity; others have an extremely high tolerance for pain.

Some of you have a low energy level; others are bouncing off the walls. Some of you have backs that are prone to fail you, weak eyesight, or brittle bones. Some of you have low levels of oxytocin, a hormone that affects how we relate to other people.

YOUR FLAWS ARE GOD'S OPPORTUNITIES!
No flaw is sinful or shameful — it's the way God wired you! I bought a pair of distressed jeans once that had a tag that read: "These jeans have intentional flaws in order to make them unique." Your "genes" are the same way: They have flaws that make you unique.

Those flaws are part of your custom design, and God planned them for his purpose and glory.

YOUR FLAWS ARE GOD'S OPPORTUNITIES!
You will never be able to make a change in your life or fulfill God's purpose for your life until you understand that you are wonderfully complex and uniquely flawed for God's glory. The question then, is this: What will you do with the hand you're dealt?

Talk About It:

What are the flaws that make you unique? How can you use those flaws to bring God glory? Rick Warren

YOUR FLAWS ARE GOD'S OPPORTUNITIES!
Just Go! Win The Day!
