TEAM 180:
How do you feel when someone says, "It's Decision Time... It's Time to make your Decision?"
The thought of that stresses some people out. All of the "What Ifs" start surfacing.
Then "what do we do'?" We start Analyzing don't we? Then we get Paralysis by Analysis.
180 SECRET - DECISION TIME - NEXT STEP!
This is when we over Analyze situation to the point of Paralysis. Now we are Frozen. This is when we really need to be Prepared to be Prepared.
When Paul was on a Ship in a bad Storm he tried to encourage the Captain to turn back. He felt the Storm was too Big and all of them would die.
The Captain kept going. We don't know what the Motivation and Reward was for Risking it all but nevertheless a Decision was made.
180 SECRET - DECISION TIME - NEXT STEP!
Deep into the Storm the Lord stood by Paul and Encouraged him. He told Paul that everyone would live and that God needed him to go to Rome right after they get rescued.
It's always good to plan ahead for the future with God. Paul knew he wouldn't die because him and God already had their next business deal waiting in Rome.
When you have a Next Step game plan already in motion with God He is not going to allow you to be wiped out.
180 SECRET - DECISION TIME - NEXT STEP!
The Lord is going to Finish His work in your life regardless of the Storms. Paul knew God was going to Rescue him because there was more work to be done.
How about us? Do we live a life of anticipation knowing God is working behind the scenes on our behalf to Finish Strong!
180 SECRET - DECISION TIME - NEXT STEP!
180 SECRET: God has a Work in your Life that He needs to Complete here on Earth. God also has a Work in the lives of the people you meet everyday. God needs to Work through you to show them His Love through your life. Matt 22:37-38
Friends, sometimes we are afraid to Step out because we worry too much about the outcome or the unknown.
Remember, God will direct everything back on course just like he did for Paul because "All Things work together for good for those that Love God and are called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28
"All of our Dreams can come True if we have the Courage to Pursue them." Walt Disney
180 SECRET - DECISION TIME - NEXT STEP!
Just Go! Make a Decision!

180 SECRET - DISABILITY TO ABILITY!
TEAM 180:
Have you ever felt limited in your ability to perform a task? Today God wants your Disabilities to open up the doors of Possibilities in your life.
180 SECRET - DISABILITY TO ABILITY!
God has a way of taking our weakness and turning it into a 180 of Confidence. Suddenly in one moment life becomes a Possibility of a New Found Ability.
God uses our Disabilities to show us Abilities we have never dreamed of. Steve Jobs was put up for adoption as a baby. His mother wanted him to grow with parents that were college professors. This was all arranged but at the last minute he was switched to uneducated parents that had blue collar jobs and poverty level income.
180 SECRET - DISABILITY TO ABILITY!
Steve Jobs was put in a situation that he could not control. His life did a Sudden 180.
At that moment no one knew what God had in store for Steve's future. As you know Steve Jobs created millions of jobs and changed the way the world communicates.
Who knows what would have happened if Steve Jobs would have been put if his life didn't do a 180.
180 SECRET - DISABILITY TO ABILITY!
Moses had a similar situation as he was adopted by the daughter of Pharaoh in Egypt. His sudden 180 future went from slavery to royalty. However, God stepped in and did another 180 and moved Moses to the Wilderness. This move got him away long enough (40 years) to bring his career back Full Circle or 360.
Then there is Richard Branson the Owner of Virgin America, Australia and Atlantic Airlines. This week is a milestone for Branson: Virgin America celebrated its sixth anniversary yesterday and also reported a solidly profitable quarter, with an expectation of the first full-year profit.
Branson's situational Disability was completely different:
180 SECRET - DISABILITY TO ABILITY!
Branson has dyslexia and had poor academic performance as a student, but later discovered his ability to connect with others.[8]
Branson is the 4th richest citizen of the United Kingdom, according to the Forbes 2012 list of billionaires, with an estimated net worth of US$4.6 billion.[1]
All of these people had to Overcome severe setbacks to Win!
180 SECRET - DISABILITY TO ABILITY!
Friends, whatever your situational Disability is God can and will turn it 180 into a Great Situation!
"He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we could ever imagine." Eph 3:20
180 SECRET - DISABILITY TO ABILITY!
Just Go! Just Do It!

180 SECRET - I CHOOSE JOY!
TEAM 180:
Have you ever had something tragic happen in your life? Maybe you lost a loved one?
Maybe someone walked out on you and the kids. Maybe your son or daughter has a genetic chromosome defect. Maybe you have a child that has overdosed and died.
180 SECRET - I CHOOSE JOY!
Job had some tragedies in his life. He had a wife that hated him and his God. She ended up leaving him.
Job had kids that partied 24/7 so he had to perform sacrifices every morning to ask God to Forgive them. He also lost all of his wealth during the "Great Fire."
Job lost his kids, his wife and everything he owned in one day.
180 SECRET - I CHOOSE JOY!
Job was Prepared to be Prepared for these unfortunate events in his life. Job never Cursed or Blamed God.
Job chose Joy! What is Joy?
Joy is an inner Peace that only comes from outside of time. Joy is something that is Created out of Nothing to give to those Created out of something. Joy knows that God has everything under His control.
Happiness is based on circumstances while Joy is above Circumstances.
Joy is knowing that God works everything out for Greatness to those that Love Him and are living a Motivated Life for Him. Romans 8:28
180 SECRET - I CHOOSE JOY!
Friends, Let's face it Life is rough at times. Sometimes these events are spread out and other times they pile up all at the same time.
Rick and Kay Warren had not heard from their son in a while which was unusual. They had a feeling something was wrong so they went to his house.
When they drove up they saw his car and knew he was home. However this time things seemed different. He didn't come out to meet them on the driveway.
Rick and Kay looked at each other as they did many years ago when they were young, in Love and newly married.
Rick and Kay looked at each other like they did when their 26 year old son was born.
Rick and Kay looked at each other as they did when their son played sports, had fun at Disneyland...... etc...
Rick and Kay looked at each other as they did when their son Received Jesus Christ and Christ called him to a Purpose Driven Life.
All of these looks happened in what seemed like an Eternity but were just a flash of a second.
As the tears began to role out of their eyes they began hugging each other. They have Hugged each other many times but this hug was different. This is the hug you Fear and Hope will never happen.
Rick and Kay knew that Jesus had come to Rescue their son once again.
This time the Rescue was different. Rick and Kay's son wouldn't be going to Saddleback Hospital in an ambulance. This time Jesus was the Ambulance Driver and He was taking their son to another place that has Streets paved with Gold.
180 SECRET - I CHOOSE JOY!
As all of this was happening here, Jesus saw immediately stood up at the right hand of the Father and said:
"Dad I'm going to Rescue Rick and Kay's son just like I rescued Steven in the Book of Acts. Dad, you know I only Stand Up when my loved ones are in Trouble.
Remember Dad, we only lent him to Rick and Kay for a few short years and now they are graciously giving him back. Dad, can you get his new Mansion that I prepared ready for him?
By the way Dad, Rick and Kay did a Great Job and loved him so much. He was coming home in a few years anyway. He just decided to come home now instead."
As Rick and Kay were crying and hugging each other Kay pulled out her necklace and read the Following Words to her husband:
I CHOOSE JOY! I CHOOSE JOY!
When Life deals you a raw hand
I CHOOSE JOY!
When someone wrongs you
I CHOOSE JOY!
When Depression wants to take you
I CHOOSE JOY!
There are always questions of Who, What Where, When, Why?
We don't always know What!
We don't always know Where!
We don't even know When!
We definitely don't know Why!
However we do know Who!
Who is all you need to Know because Who has the Universe Under Control!
God wants you to Cry, Weep and Mourn. In fact the Word tells us He Weeps with you.
"The Lord has put my tears into His Bottle and they are in His Book." Psalm 56:8
Who Keeps your Tears when they evaporate into thin air? That's right Who!
Remember, Who Cares!
180 SECRET - I CHOOSE JOY!
Just Keep Going!

180 SECRET - GOD DOESN'T TAKE AWAY STORMS - HE TAKES YOU THROUGH THEM!
TEAM 180:
Does Anxiety hinder our Thinking, Judgement, Reaction etc...?
Is Fear the same as Anxiety or a product of it?
How does it feel to be Anxious and Fearful about the Unknown?
- If this happens then that might happen.
- What if this happens?
- Are you sure about your Decision?
- What if you are wrong?
180 SECRET - GOD DOESN'T TAKE AWAY STORMS - HE TAKES YOU THROUGH THEM!
Do you live in Denial trying to Hide or Escape from these situations?
Is Anxiety is trying to take over the Situation and Control you?
- Is Anxiety a DNA Stress Molecule?
- Is Anxiety Learned?
- Is Anxiety from the Past Experience?
- Is this where Fear comes from?
Recent Scientific Discoveries have affirmed all of these as reasons we get Anxious. Two of the three are our surroundings. One of the three is Genetics.
It doesn't matter what the reasons for Anxiety are Stress is real and it must be Conquered!
180 SECRET - GOD DOESN'T TAKE AWAY STORMS - HE TAKES YOU THROUGH THEM!
Anxiety causes pain and pain causes depression. Depression is manifested in different ways: Anger, Drugs, Suicide, Major Depression, Lack of Motivation etc....
The Word of God tells us that Fear, Anxiety and Stress are a snare and will trip us up!
So how do we Approach this?
Do Storms Pass and never come back again? No, they always come back again?
180 SECRET - GOD DOESN'T TAKE AWAY STORMS - HE TAKES YOU THROUGH THEM!
Life is the same way isn't it?
The waves of life go up and down back and forth but away in the distance there is a storm brewing.
Do we deny it and try to escape it or do we Embrace it and Conquer it?
180 SECRET - GOD DOESN'T TAKE AWAY STORMS - HE TAKES YOU THROUGH THEM!
Jesus was with His friends going across the Sea of Galilee when a Storm hit. His friends were anxious and afraid. They thought they were going to be taken over by the Storm and drown.
This must have been a bad Storm because these men were the best Seamen of their day. They have been through the toughest of Storms.
They were so desperate they asked a Jewish Carpenter to help. What does a Jewish Carpenter know about the Sea?
Have you ever been Afraid when the Storms hit your life? It might a death of a loved one. It might be a broken marriage. It might be the loss of a job. It might be the fear and anxiety of the unknown etc....
Sometimes we are so desperate we seek help for the Unknown from an Unknown.
Lucky for these Fishermen they were seeking help from the Creator of the Universe.
Sometimes we get the wrong advice when we are desperate don't we?
Were these Fishermen afraid of the Storm or the Unknown? They were probably afraid of both.
Jesus rebuked the storm and said, "BE STILL!" The Storm subsided and calmed down.
180 SECRET - GOD DOESN'T TAKE AWAY STORMS - HE TAKES YOU THROUGH THEM!
A famous Warrior named Joshua was getting
ready to enter the Storm of Unknown in Jericho.
What was known?
- Opportunity!
- Huge Fruit Trees with Big Fruit!
- Huge Veggies!
- A Deep River to Cross!
- Big Walls to get through!
- Nephilim Nephilim or Giants in the Land!
- Many Complainers!
- Half the men needed Surgery!
180 SECRET - GOD DOESN'T TAKE AWAY STORMS - HE TAKES YOU THROUGH THEM!
What was Unknown? We don't know but the Lord knows.
The Angel of the Lord appeared to Joshua and said, "Hey bro I got the Unknown Covered! I'm going to go before you and Prepare the way!"
"Have I not commanded you? Be Strong and Courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9
Friends, during the Storms of Life there are things that are Known and things that are Unknown. Give the Unknown to God and the Known will be Conquered!
But Seek First the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness and all of your Anxiety, Fear, Stress, Weariness, Doubt, Depression etc.... will go away and I will add to you all these things:
Spirit of Rest and a Sound Mind
Spirit of Wisdom
Spirit of Understanding
Spirit of Counsel
Spirit of Power
Spirit of Knowledge
Spirit of Respect for the Lord
Matt 6:33 / Isaiah 11:2
