TEAM 180:

How many times have you finished a conversation and said,

"Oh... One more thing.... "

Have you ever been in a hurry and someone says that to you? Maybe you were on the phone or leaving the house and late for a meeting?

180 SECRET - OH... ONE MORE THING!

Whatever the situation is the One More Thing is important to the person saying it. Sometimes it is the most Important part of the whole conversation.

"One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple." Psalm 27:4

180 SECRET - OH... ONE MORE THING!

This is how it was it was for David. It is so cool that we get to look into the mind of King David as he is pondering his future.

Verse 4 just pops out in the middle of this text like God was sending him a text message say, "One More Thing David!"

Friends, Today what is God's "One More Thing" for you today? For David it was a much needed pause in his mind as he was thinking of how God took care of him when the enemy was seeking to destroy him.

DAVID WENT FROM HIS ENEMIES SEEKING HIM TO HIM SEEKING GOD!

God is reminding us that there is One Thing that will get your mind into Possibility Thinking when everything seems to be crashing down.

180 SECRET - OH... ONE MORE THING!

When David got that text message from God his mind was in a hurry and he was late for an appointment but that ONE MORE THING is the ONE THING that turned his thinking into Possibility Thinking!

STOP. AND PONDER!

God has One more Thing for you today. Desire it! Seek it! Dwell in it! His House or your house?

David's One More Thing is also our One More Thing!

180 SECRET - OH... ONE MORE THING!

Dwell with Him and Behold His Beauty All Day! If this is all you do everything else will be taken care of!

Just Go 180!

Rick


PS - Check out the whole passage:

Psalm 27:1  The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

4 One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.

5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord.

7 Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

8 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek.

9 Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up.

11 Teach me thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.

12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

14 Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.

TEAM 180:

Have you ever followed the Wind?

When I was a kid I followed the wind to fly my kite. When I went sailing we followed the wind to help guide our sail on the sail boat

180 SECRET - THE WIND - THE SPIRIT

In football we picked our final quarter based on the wind condition and which way it was blowing.

We follow the Direction of the Wind Playing Golf, Tennis, LaCross, Soccer, etc....

Wind also affects the Oceans and Currents, Air patterns for Airplane travel.

Wind affects everything we do.

180 SECRET - THE WIND - THE SPIRIT

2000 years ago Jesus had all of this figured out! One night Jesus was asked about being Born Again:

Jesus said, "The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit." John 3:8

Think of all the ways the Wind Blows. You can't see it and you don't know whether it is coming or going but you believe it is there right? Why?

Because you see the affect it has on the trees, plants, oceans, mountains, etc...
In fact it affects almost everything we do.

180 SECRET - THE WIND - THE SPIRIT

The Power of the Wind is very Important. When there is a Fire the Wind causes the Fire to Spread Faster.

When there is Rain the Wind causes Hurricanes to swirl with Intensity.

When it is Snowing the Power of the Wind can cause an Intense Blizzard.

"The Pessimist complains about the Wind; the Optimist Expects it to change; the Realist Adjusts the Sails."
William Arthur Ward

180 SECRET - THE WIND - THE SPIRIT

Friends, what if we looked for the Spirit of God the same way a Sailor does to our advantage?

What if we were Optimistic and Real at the same time?

What if we were to Expect Greatness but were Realistic about the situation at hand and Adjusted the Sails.

Great Sailors like Hall of Fame Captain Dennis Conner Expects Greatness but also knows that Adjusting to the Wind and its Power is the Secret to Success.

180 SECRET - THE WIND - THE SPIRIT

"My goal in sailing isn't to be brilliant or flashy in individual races, just to be consistent over the long run."
Dennis Conner Hall of Fame Captain of America's Cup

Dennis Conner knows the Power of the Wind and how to Adjust to Maximize Its Potential.
180 SECRET - THE WIND - THE SPIRIT

In Genesis 1 it says the Spirit of God was hovering over the Waters of the earth. Hovering in the Hebrew language implies Intensity and Purpose.

The Same Spirit of God that had Intense Purpose for the Planet Earth in Genesis 1 has the same Intense Purpose for your life!

Today, let's look for the Spirit of God in everything we do! Let's plan out how to make the best use of God's Spirit in our lives by Serving Others First and Encouraging everyone around us. Dennis Conner won America's Cup four Times because he knew the Power of Wind and How to apply it.

When we Realize the Power of the Spirit in our lives and Execute with Confidence, Intensity and Purpose no one will stop us!

Let's Win The Spirit Cup!

Just Go 180!
Keep being Filled with the Spirit!

TEAM 180:

Do you have a busy mind with millions of things to do?

Are you paralyzed and in a trance anxious about everything?

Do you Replay unfortunate things in your mind over and over trying to change the outcome?

Jesus was greeted by Mary and Martha as they invited Him over to their house for a meal.

A BUSY MIND IS LIKE A BLINDFOLD!

Mary was hanging out with the Creator of the Universe asking Him all kinds of questions relating to Life and Purpose.

Martha was busy and didn't have time to sit and hang out with Jesus. Martha was so blinded by her busy mind she didn't have time for the Peace.

Martha scolded Mary and said, "Jesus I'm doing all the work here and Mary you are just sitting there."

A BUSY MIND IS LIKE A BLINDFOLD!

Jesus said," Martha your mind is too busy! Relax and hang out with Mary and Me and learn how to have Peace in your Mind!"

A BUSY MIND IS LIKE A BLINDFOLD!

Friends, there is a time to be busy and there is a time to Relax with The Prince of Peace!

Jesus shared with them that this life is short and Eternity Starts Now!

Today focus on Jesus the Prince of Peace and Remember that Eternity Starts Now! God is way bigger then your circumstances.

A BUSY MIND IS LIKE A BLINDFOLD!

A Busy mind of the Coulda Woulda Shoulda's paralyzes us. Over Analysis will cause Paralysis!

Be Anxious for nothing but in all things let your request be known to God and the Peace of God which passes all understanding will Guard your heart....

... Finally my friends... What ever is True Think on those things.... Phil 4:6-8

Get rid of the What If's and trying to change the outcome! Instead think about the What If's and Picture yourself Accomplishing all that God has for you.

"Come unto Me all you that are Weary with so many issues and I will give you Rest."
Jesus

A BUSY MIND IS LIKE A BLINDFOLD!

Just Go 180!
