Read this, and let it really sink in… Then, choose how you start your day tomorrow…

Jerry is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, “If I were any better, I would be twins!” He was a unique manager because he had several waiters who had followed him around from restaurant to restaurant.

The reason the waiters followed Jerry was because of his attitude. He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, Jerry was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.

Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him, I don’t get it! You can’t be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?” Jerry replied, “Each morning I wake up and say to myself – Jerry, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.

I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life.

“Yeah, right, it’s not that easy,” I protested. “Yes, it is,” Jerry said. “Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: It’s your choice how you live life.”

I reflected on what Jerry said. Soon thereafter, I left the restaurant industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.

Several years later, I heard that Jerry did something you are never supposed to do in a restaurant business: he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gun point by three armed robbers. While trying to open the safe, his hand, shaking from nervousness, slipped off the combination. The robbers panicked and shot him. Luckily, Jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the local trauma center. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Jerry was discharged from the hospital with fragments of the bullets still in his body.

I saw Jerry about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, “If I were any better, I’d be twins. Wanna see my scars?” I declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place. “The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door,” Jerry replied. “Then, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or I could choose to die. I chose to live.”

“Weren’t you scared? Did you lose consciousness?” I asked. Jerry continued, “…the paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the ER and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read ‘he’s a dead man.’

I knew I needed to take action.” “What did you do?” I asked. “Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me,” said Jerry. “She asked if I was allergic to anything. ’Yes,’ I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘Bullets!’ Over their laughter, I told them, ‘I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.’”

Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully.

Attitude, after all, is everything.

Positive thinking is the first step towards a happy life.

If everyone applies just these, the whole world will live in happiness.

Choose Right Thoughts

Our thoughts become our words, and our words affect our feelings and actions. Therefore, it is vitally important that we choose life-generating thoughts. When we do, right words will follow.

“Now the mind of the flesh [which is sense and reason without the Holy Spirit] is death [death that comprises all the miseries arising from sin, both here and hereafter]. But the mind of the [Holy] Spirit is life and [soul] peace [both now and forever]. Romans 8:6

The Power of Convergence!

Dear Praying Friends,

2009 is the Year of New Wine, and as we move further into this new year, the Lord is releasing even greater revelation about this new wine anointing.

Last week, as I awoke to pray, the Lord spoke to me that “the new wine is found in the cluster”, and gave me this scripture:
“Thus says the LORD: 
” As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one says, ‘do not destroy it, for a blessing is in it,’ so will I do for My servants’ sake, 
that I may not destroy them all”. Isaiah 65:8

Later that day, we hosted Dr. Lance Wallnau in our television studio for a webcast. The prophetic message the Lord had given Lance to share during that time was about this cluster or new wine anointing.

There are moments in time when God starts mixing different anointings by pulling different people together, such that the cluster anointing or new wine is produced. According to Lance, there is actually a concept in leadership that reflects this biblical term of the cluster. This concept is called convergence.

Convergence describes the moment in which God invites you to join Him in what He’s been preparing you all your life to do. Convergence occurs in the fullness of time, and right now, not only individuals but entire nations are hanging in the balance as we approach a time and season of historic convergence.

God is calling forth a new apostolic prayer army to join Him in releasing heaven’s agenda with the authority to administrate it properly in this critical time and season.

When God called forth the people of Israel to step into the Promised Land, only two of twelve leaders—Joshua and Caleb—stepped out in faith and experienced the power of convergence. Convergence always occurs with a remnant that responds out of a larger invitation, but it is this remnant that will impact entire nations!

God has plans for you, your city, your state, and your time and place in the world.

Pray that you maintain your vision at time such as that, to be the remnant that can carry on the dreams of the Lord for Kuwait, to see the local Kuwaiti Church into the light, to see Kuwait as a lighthouse to the Arabian Gulf & a gate way to the middle east.
God still has a plan for you, no matter how you failed at the past, no matter how you got disappointed from your leaders and people, God is still in control, he has a vision to you that you should fulfil ..ask God to renew your vision and give you strength to do it..
