Don’t Feed the Dragon

Which World Do You Live In?

3 Keys to Success in Life

 

 

Most humans live in the fantasy world of the Princess, the Dragon and Prince Charming

They alternate between being the Princess, needing to be rescued and Prince Charming, the Hero of their own story

In their make-believe world they’re NEVER the Dragon

That’s always someone else, stopping them from achieving their goals and blocking their path to happiness

But this is not reality…

In the real world everyone is a Princess, a Prince Charming AND everyone has some Dragon in them too

The 1st key to success in this real world is:

A. Identify the Dragon in you
B. Learn what feeds it and what starves it
C. Make it your mission in life to starve it to death

Key #2… When it’s your turn to be the Princess, be humble enough to accept help from others gracefully

Key #3… When someone actually needs you to be their Prince Charming don’t run from the challenge but face it with dignity and courage

This is a sure path to success in the real world

Re-Think Knowledge, Understanding and Wisdom

There can be no victory in life without correct Knowledge, Understanding and Wisdom.

The Bible says… “My people are destroyed for a lack of Knowledge” Hosea 4:6

It also says, “With all thy getting get understanding” Proverbs 4:7

And finally, “Wisdom is the principle thing” Proverbs 4:7

Every lack in life is caused by a deficit in Knowledge, Understanding or Wisdom.

The primary problem of the Human Race is a lack of Wisdom.

I did NOT say, a lack of education nor a lack of intelligence… I said, a lack of WISDOM.

There is a difference!

According to the Bible, the foundation of wisdom is respect for God.

Proverbs 9:10 says, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom…”

In this verse the Hebrew word for ‘Fear’ is ‘Yirah’ and can be translated, “respect, reverence, piety.”

So, one can only attain wisdom by respecting the One who created Wisdom in the first place.

No wonder God says Atheists are fools… They don’t know enough to even acknowledge the One who created Wisdom.

There is a universal Law that says, “You attract what you respect.”

They don’t respect God so they cannot attract Wisdom… ergo, they are fools!

In other words, their very ideology dooms them to remaining spiritually ignorant.

Here is a definition, a description and an illustration of what Knowledge, Understanding and Wisdom are:

Definition:

Knowledge is the reception of accurate information
Understanding is the correct perception of that information
Wisdom is the effective application of that information

Description:

Knowledge is gained when you receive new information
Understanding is gained when you receive the explanation of the information
Wisdom is gained from effectively applying what you know and understand

Illustration:

Knowledge is ingesting and digesting food for the soul
Understanding is absorbing food for the soul
Wisdom is effective action from assimilating food for the soul

Re-Thinking the Assurance of Your Salvation

How to be Sure You Cannot Lose Your Salvation

 

Whatever sources something, must sustain it.

If a spring is the source of a river and the spring dries up the river will cease to flow.

A candle’s flame goes out when all the wax is used because the wax is the source and sustainer of the flame.

It’s a universal principle that whatever you source, you must sustain.

The Bible says Jesus created and sustains the universe.

“For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible… all things were created by him, and for him.” Col 1:16

“The Son radiates God’s own glory and expresses the very character of God, and he sustains everything by the mighty power of his command.” Heb 1:3 {New Living Translation}

Here’s the same verse from the English Standard Version of the Bible, “He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power.”

Now here’s the clincher, Jesus is the source of your Salvation, therefore He has to sustain it.

The Bible says, “Even though Jesus was God’s Son, he learned obedience from the things he suffered. In this way, God qualified him as a perfect High Priest, and he became the source of eternal salvation for all those who obey him.” Heb 5:8-9 {NIV}

Jesus is the source of your salvation.

If you are not the source of your salvation, you cannot be the sustainer of it.

And if you’re not the one sustaining it, how can you be responsible for keeping or losing it?

You are kept by the power of God not your own power, therefore, you literally CANNOT lose your salvation.

“Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation.” 1st Peter 1:5

If it were even possible for your salvation to be lost it would still not be up to you, it would be up to Jesus to lose it.

Jesus has to lose your salvation because HE’S the one who is sustaining it… Not you!

And the Bible seals the deal when in John 18:9 Jesus said to the Father, “I did not lose a single one of those you have given me.” {ISV}

Plus in John 10:27-29, He said again, “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them away from me, for my Father has given them to me, and he is more powerful than anyone else. No one can snatch them from the Father’s hand.” {NLT}

So, your salvation is sustained by Jesus.

You are kept by the power of God.

Your eternal life is kept safely in Jesus’ hand.

Your spiritual security is also kept safely in the Father’s hand.

Explain to me again exactly HOW you can lose your salvation???

Re-Think Truth

Re-Thinking the Nature of Truth: How Does One Attain True Knowledge?

In the Bible, Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. (John 14:6)

Then in John 18:38, Pilate asked him, “What is ‘truth’?”

Pilate was talking directly to Jesus when he asked Him this question.

Which means the Truth was literally staring him in the face… but he couldn’t see it!

This leads us to understand that unless your heart is open to receiving the Truth, you’ll always be blind to it.

You can ask the right questions and engage in intellectual pursuit but The Truth is ultimately a Person.. Jesus Christ.

Therefore, getting to know the truth means forming a relationship with someone.

It is only to the degree that you’re willing to allow a relationship with Jesus Christ that you are able to perceive the truth.

Unless you are willing to know Jesus, the truth could repeatedly slap you in the face and you still won’t see it.

Is it any wonder then that statistical data on Nobel prize winners in science for 100 years between 1901 and 2000 revealed that atheists, agnostics, and freethinkers have won 7.1% of the prizes in chemistry, 8.9% in medicine, and 4.7% in physics; while Christians have won 72.5% of the prizes in chemistry, 65.3% in physics, 62% in medicine?

“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” (Proverbs 1:7)

“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” (Proverbs 9:10)

“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding.” (Psalms 111:10)

And before you leave with the wrong concept, the phrase, “Fear of the Lord” does NOT mean to be afraid of Him, it simply means to reverently worship God… which is what wise people do!

Re-Think Homosexuality

Re-Thinking Homosexuality in Light of God’s Original Intent For Humanity

For the rest of the world there is much to debate.

Apart from the question of Morality there are also Political, Legal, Social and Health issues to consider when discussing the rights and wrongs of Homosexuality.

But for the Bible-Believing Christian, there is no such conflict.

This matter is forever settled in Genesis Chapter One of your Bible.

Homosexuality is WRONG!

God created the Human Race with a very clear purpose in mind, “Be Fruitful, Multiply and Have Dominion!” Gen. 1:28

This is God’s Prime Directive to the Human Race… The very reason we were created in the first place!

Two members of the same sex CANNOT fulfill this mandate… They cannot be fruitful and multiply.

The Ideology and Practice of Homosexuality is contrary to God’s original intent for Humanity and therefore wrong.

As a Born Again Christian this must be your ideological starting point, then you go from there and consider other aspects of the issue under discussion.

This is what having a Biblical Worldview means and having a Biblical Worldview is what must characterize you as a Kingdom Citizen.

As Christians, we must see things from the Bible’s perspective first, then consider every other aspect in light of what God has already said about the matter.

This is what protects us from ideological error and bad judgement.

So, is Homosexuality a sin… Most definitely it is!

It transgresses the most vital principle God laid down for the Human Race… Which is to reproduce other beings in His image.

In the beginning God made them Male and Female and instituted the Marriage of one man to one woman with the resulting family as the foundation and building block of Human Civilization.

To violate this intrinsic principle is to strike at the very heart of God’s Dominion of us.

This is why Homosexuality is not just another sinful practice… at it’s heart, it is the most fundamental rejection of God.

It is rejecting His image in us. If we are Homosexual or merely agreeing with it we are assenting to the rejection of God.

If the Human Society embraces the Homosexual ideology we will have universally rejected God.

This will create an open invitation for our children to be inhabited by every description of demonic spirit imaginable.

No wonder the entire society of Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed.

This was actually an act of God’s mercy in not allowing the devil to perpetuate the cycle of possession and destruction into the next generation.

Sin is progressive, with each successive generation it gets worst and would have eventually spread throughout the entire region!

Before you know it, another worldwide catastrophe would have been needed to eradicate the pandemic of demonic possession.

Bottom line, there is no greater rejection of God than to reject His image in you.

And this is what being Gay is… A fundamental rejection of God’s image in you and consequently His dominion over your life.

The Bible says, “Women no longer wanted to have sex in a natural way, and they did things with each other that were not natural. Men behaved in the same way. They stopped wanting to have sex with women and had strong desires for sex with other men.

Since these people refused even to think about God, he let their useless minds rule over them. That’s why they do all sorts of indecent things.” Rom 1:27-28

Re-Think Atheism

Time to Re-Think Atheism Young People

 

Have you heard this one before?

You ask a young person, “Why are you an Atheist?” And they smugly respond, “I’m an Atheist because I learned to think for myself.”

Well, I’ve been there and heard that several times.

And the next time I have the experience, here’s what I’d like to tell that young person…

You’re not an Atheist because you “Learnt to think for yourself.”

Don’t be fooled!

You’re an Atheist because you were educated by a corrupt school system that has largely rejected God by legislating the Bible and Prayer out of classrooms.

You’re not a “Free Thinker” as you’ve been deluded into believing.

You’re the puppet of Godless hierarchy, boasting instructors who taught you WHAT to think instead of HOW to think.

You are the victim of a devilish system that has given you the illusion of free thought, encouraged you to worship SELF and manipulated you into preaching a gospel of destruction.

Just as a fish out of water can never be free… So a man apart from God will always be a slave!

~~~~~

The fool has said in his heart, there is no God. Psalm 14:1

Value vs. Income

Average people whine and complain about their circumstances and try to wish away their daily challenges.

Successful people embrace the difficulties of life with the understanding that as they face and overcome each challenge they are being forced to grow into a better and better version of themselves and in so doing they are able to more efficiently serve humanity with their gifts.

This process allows them to become more valuable to society and the more valuable to society you become the more your income grows.

You increase your value to society by becoming a better and better problem solver and your income grows consistently with the quality or quantity of problems you choose to solve.

The tragedy of this reality is that 21st century society has placed a higher value on Entertainment than on Education that’s why Athletes and Actors are millionaires and Teachers are broke!

Quality vs. Quantity

So how should the wise person relate to this information?

Start by figuring out where society places their highest value and which problems pay you the most money to solve.

For instance, solving medical and legal problems are of very high value so generally speaking Doctors and Lawyers make a lot of money.

The problem is, there is an extremely high price to pay to become a Doctor or Lawyer, so where does that leave the average person with beyond average dreams?

Remember, income grows consistently with the quality or quantity of problems you choose to solve… Quality OR Quantity!

Lawyers and Doctors earn a lot because of the QUALITY of problems they solve.

If becoming a Doctor or Lawyer is too expensive a price to pay, then you need to find a problem in large enough QUANTITY so that a lot of people will pay you to solve it.

Ask yourself this question… What problem exists in a very large quantity that I can learn to solve without having to pay too high a price to get started?

Think about it… everyone needs or wants more money. Even those who are already financially well off by society’s standards still desire more money.

So, what if you could solve people’s financial problems? What if you could show a lot of people a way to earn more money with very low risk to themselves?

Would THAT pay YOU a lot?

Finding What Can Pay YOU

Consider this…

Dexter and Birdie Yager are the highest paid Network Marketers in the world, earning $1.3 million dollars every month!

That’s great news but here’s the interesting thing, they earn this because they have built the most successful Network Marketing organization in the history of the world.

Their team spans more than 40 countries with over 1 million Distributor/Partners.

In other words, they are currently helping over one million people achieve financial freedom… THAT’S WHY THEY ARE PAID SO WELL!!!

They have found a problem that everyone needs solving and have become experts at solving it.

That’s the Essence of Network Marketing… helping as many people as you can, solve their financial problem.

This is something YOU can learn to do.

The Network Marketing Industry is an open playing field for anyone to succeed.

The choice is yours!
