17 A True Story I had to write and say what I've thought so many times, thank you, thank you, thank you. Your free webinars have been such a blessing to me and countless others. They have helped to reveal hidden habits that thwart my forward movement in Christ, give me ideas to resolve ongoing issues, inspired me to seek more and look deeper into the Word and overall been such an encouragement and prod to keep me moving and growing. May the Lord richly bless and prosper you and your ministry and all you are related to.

19 Let Me Ask You 1. How many opportunities have you missed because fear has stopped you? 2. What wall do you need to break through? 3. What glass ceiling do you need to shatter? 4. Have you ever said to yourself, If they really knew me, they wouldn t love me? 5. Do you want to stop making the same mistakes over and over again?

20 The startling truth is The only person keeping you from achieving your goals is you.

21 Faith is the Antidote to Fear Reality: Everyone has FEAR Fear is NORMAL. Part of being human. Part of growing. Part of being up to big things. You are on your path to a bigger breakthrough

22 Faith is the Antidote to Fear Reality: Everyone has FEAR Fear can be your green light to go! Where there is great fear, there needs to be great faith. FEAR IS A GIFT, to have the opportunity, the access, the know-how, the desire to cultivate more faith.

23 What Keeps People From Living Their Dreams? Fear is the external reality that keeps people from living their dreams, but it s not the fear that keeps them. Fear is what you can see and feel. What keeps people from living their dreams is their BELIEFS about the FEAR. The fear is just the message.

24 What Keeps People From Living Their Dreams? What we need to deal with and go deep with is our RELATIONSHIP to fear Our relationship to being a leader Our relationship to having a global impact Our relationship to making a difference Our relationship to be happy and allowing ourselves to be self-expressed

25 What Keeps People From Living Their Dreams? Fear is intellect. We intellectually are aware of our fear. AWARENESS is a great step to conquer fear. Now let s go to the heart level, to the soul level. Let s talk about the beliefs that we have adopted when we were little girls and little boys about Who we are on this planet, Whose we are, and our RELATIONSHIP to fear, to rejection, to success, to giving ourselves permission to get present to our desires.

26 What Keeps People From Living Their Dreams? The first place we want to look is What is our relationship to fear? Do we allow it to stop us? What is our relationship to living large? What is our relationship to allowing God s blessings? Show us Your glory, LORD!

27 Steps to Conquer Fear 1. What does the Word say about fear? 2. What is your relationship to fear? Show us Your glory, LORD!

28 What Keeps People From Living Their Dreams? Delight yourself also in the LORD, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. (Psalm 37:4) The definition for desire in the Aramaic language is "of the Father.

29 What Keeps You From Living Your Dreams? Truth #2: Fear is a gift that was instilled in you as a means of protection and a way to bring you closer to God Three innate/inborn fears: 1. Fear of falling - relates to loss from business 2. Fear of loud noises relates to sudden change 3. Fear of abandonment relates to things you can manage ***Fears are great motivators.

30 What Keeps You From Living Your Dreams? Truth #3: When you run from or deny your fear, you leave the gift unopened. Spoken word power of declaration of independence The language is Oh cancel, cancel, cancel, do not affirm that. What do you really want to happen? Then you restate that faith in what you really want to happen.

31 What Keeps You From Living Your Dreams? Truth #4: When your fear of success or fear of failure is exposed, you breakthrough their control over you. When you give yourself a permission to notice and call out the limiting beliefs you have about yourself, you break through the control they have over you. Give ourselves permission to tell the TRUTH!

50 My 5-Step Method for Journaling

51 Thank God Listen to God and write down what you hear Record your REST

52 I place tremendous value on getting adequate rest because I know that is extremely important to steward my time and life well and to live my big dreams. Consequently, I log my rest in my journal nearly every morning as one of the first things I do. I write down when I went to bed, what I did before going to bed, how fast I fell asleep, how well I slept, when I got up, and any dreams I can remember.

53 Jesus says, Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light. (Matthew 11:28) The question is, Will you slow down and come to Jesus for His rest?

54 Step 3: Record Your Rest REST: I went to bed at 10:30 pm exhausted after a long hard work day, a two hour nap, eating dinner, and then reading the Bible for minutes. I fell asleep quickly and slept like a baby until 4:35 am when Maui got me up. After feeding Maui and letting her outside briefly, I went back to bed. I lay still resting and reflecting in a semi-alpha state with godly thoughts flowing through my mind before getting up at 5:40 am.

55 Thank God Listen to God and write down what you hear Record your REST ABIDE Inspired Thoughts

56 Inspired Thoughts I keep a bulleted list of inspired thoughts and ideas that come to my mind while lying in bed resting and reflecting and that I receive while abiding in my sacred place. By writing these down early, they most accurately represent what I heard. Writing these down frees my mind from having to think about them anymore. Also, I am more likely to act on them, even if that is a week, a month, or a year later.

57 Inspired Thoughts The primary benefit of journaling is FOCUS. Come out of Babylon! Schedule meeting with David Sluka regarding focus and book coaching program. David Hancock regarding IWBNIN and Carl. Schedule a meeting. I need your help.

58 Inspired Thoughts Make your own minute video regarding the Sabbath. Script the message and record that to make it concise and to the point. Schedule webinars with Rick Grubbs, Lisa Jimenez, and Vic Johnson 2014 Goal: Plan to launch Master s Dream Academy Set clear goals for Order More Than A Carpenter to give to your father as a birthday present

60 Thank God

61 By reviewing things from the previous day each morning and giving thanks to God for all things, you are often able to see the hidden treasures in your relationships and circumstances.

62 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter. (Proverbs 25:2) Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, and in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. (1Thessalonians 5:16-18)

63 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. (James 4:8a) The more gratefully we fix our minds on God when good things come to us, the more good things we will receive, and the more rapidly they will come. This happens because the mental attitude of gratitude draws the mind into closer touch with the Source from which the blessings come.

64 Step 1: Give Thanks Good morning Jesus! Thank You for... Another good night s sleep in a warm, comfortable bed next to Julia. I don t take that for granted, including my sleep and rest. The Sabbath day and my understanding of the importance of keeping that holy. My long nap yesterday evening with the opportunity to listen carefully to Your holy Word. Your instruction yesterday to Come out of Babylon!

65 Step 1: Give Thanks Good morning Jesus! Thank You for... Prompting me to call Rick Saunders and our extraordinary conversation. My ability to hear Your voice and my desire to obey You and follow You. Branding Lord and Saunders with LORD and the huge breakthroughs that Rick and Joey are having. Helping me through another week financially. The warning that 2014 is a make it or break it year!

66 Step 1: Give Thanks Good morning Jesus! Thank You for... The three blog posts I created yesterday with two at empower2000.com and one at yourdailyblessing.com. The wonderful vegetable lasagna dinner I had with Julia and for our good conversation. Thank You for Julia clearly expressing her concerns.

68 Thank God Listen to God and write down what you hear

69 After giving thanks to God for what He has given me and let me partake of, I invite Jesus to dine with me and then write down what I hear. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. (Revelations 3:20)

70 Step 2: Listen to God Jesus, I invite You to come in and dine with me. Speak Lord, I am listening. Joseph, you are most welcome. I like how you are starting your mornings expressing your thanks and writing down your inspired thoughts. The joy you have and express is contagious. Your connection to Rick and Joey Saunders is very significant. Trust Me with your finances. Do not try to push open doors when there is resistance.

71 Step 2: Listen to God Jesus, I invite You to come in and dine with me. Speak Lord, I am listening. Rick can help you close deals and communicate your value. You must express/communicate your need for help to have others step in to help you. If I take care of the birds of the air, I certainly will take care of you. Enjoy your day! Know that you are richly blessed and highly favored.

73 Thank God Listen to God and write down what you hear Record your REST ABIDE

74 Obedience Brings Life John 15:7-8 - "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples."

75 In her book LORD, Teach Me to Study the Bible in 28 Days, Kay Arthur writes, I am convinced God s message through the prophet Hosea is the same as His message to us today: It is absolutely essential for each of us man or woman, young or old to understand the importance and value of knowing the truth. In other words, you must know the Word of God, the Bible.

76 Pastor Adrian Rogers, one of my favorite preachers, used to have a frequent short message on American Family Radio that I loved. He would say, Why don t people obey God? It is because they don t know Him. Knowledge of God leads to trust in God. Trust in God leads to obedience to God. And obedience to God leads to blessings by God. The best way to know God is by reading or listening to His Word, the Bible.

77 What Keeps You From Living Your Dreams? Truth #5: Your belief system is the driving force behind your behaviors and your results It s all about your BELIEF System. That is the Driver. Your beliefs create your thoughts. Your beliefs create your emotions and cause your actions. Transform the thoughts you think. Choose to adapt more empowering beliefs.

78 Three Livening Beliefs 1. Beliefs you have about yourself By the age 7, your brain is wired and conditioned to be a certain creation Self-view labels put on you in childhood. You can transform your self view by transforming the beliefs about you have yourself.

79 Three Livening Beliefs 2. Beliefs you have about your circumstances Circumstances things you are to deal with Create a distinction between WHO you are and WHAT you are dealing with

80 Three Livening Beliefs 3. Beliefs you have about your future/possibilities Belief about what we can create on this planet through the Spirit

81 Break Through Self-Limiting Beliefs That Prevent Your Success Truth #7: Change your beliefs and you change your behavior. Change your behaviors and you change your results. Change your results and you change your life. My journaling story

82 How Do You Breakthrough Self-Limiting Beliefs that Prevent Your Success? 1. First is AWARENESS. Identify hidden fears and transform. Gove yourself a permission. Do introspection. Have time with yourself. Notice your behavior, without judgment. 2. Reframe Reality. Make a choice. Jump into it. Who do you want to be? Who do you choose to be? Take charge of your imagination and decide what you want.

83 How Do You Breakthrough Self-Limiting Beliefs that Prevent Your Success? 1. Know what you want. Slay Ambiguity (you say you want it, but then you don t) 2. Make a move. Start being your new personality. 0 point energy you have nothing. But when you have nothing, you have everything because you have a blank slate! 3. Train the brain. Do the work. The daily meditation. The daily prayer. Life-long habitual pattern

84 Renew Your Mind And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. (Romans 12:2)

85 The first fruits of your time is exactly that the first and best of your time. That is why I usually go to my sacred place for my sacred time as the very first thing in my day. Because my most important meeting of the day is my meeting with God, before I do anything else, I want to thank God and hear what He has to say. That is how I come out of the gate charging and motivated to win the race for that day.

86 Step 4: Abide ABIDE: When I got up, I immediately went to my sacred place for my sacred time. I knelt down and prayed for a few minutes before starting to journal. I read The Power of a Praying Husband Chapter 12 (Her Fears), The Power of a Praying Parent Chapter 3 (Securing Protection From Harm), and my Ultimate Vision.
