In April 2009, my pastor Matt Gregory led our congregation at Soul Purpose Church through a 4 week teaching series called “One Month To Live.” In their excellent book by that title, Kerry and Chris Shook give simple homework assignments each day for 30 days. The Day #1 assignment was to right down 5 things you would do if you knew you only had 30 days to live.

The very first thing I wrote down was “Complete everything associated with my journaling e-book, including 1) Revise my free e-book, 2) Create 11 auto-responders, 3) Narrate book, 4) PRESS release. This will create substantial residual income for Julia and leave a tremendous legacy.”

While it took me about 10 months to finally set aside the time to complete this, I never forgot what I wrote in my journal. As a result, on February 1, 2010, I launched my 30 Days To Breakthrough free e-course. In my opinion, this will be the greatest legacy I ever leave.

My greatest legacy might well be my 30 Days To Breakthrough free e-course because it helps people breakthrough in different areas of their lives to experience God in extraordinary ways for extraordinary fruit. When this course was first launched in February 2010, Abigail Slocum was one of the first 90 people to sign up in the first month. However, she found herself distracted with life circumstances and never completed that to her satisfaction. So on June 1, 2010, Abigail decided to repeat the course, but his time she purposed to journal every day and to post her answers from the Lord publicly on her blog. And not surprisingly, major breakthroughs are happening, not just for her but for people in her sphere of influence.

THE VISION is to start a mass movement of Kingdom-minded webinars to reach the world for Jesus. Encourage each person you host at Webinars 777 to start their own weekly webinars. That is what Judi and the TRIBE of 12 women are to do. Encourage everyone you host on a webinar to do likewise. As the “Queen of Webinars,” Carrie Stone is to assemble a team of people to host, record, and edit webinars. She is to be paid well to do this. This will form tribe and tribe after tribe. This will create disciples. This will result in extraordinary multiplication. Taste and see that I AM good. I AM doing a new work.

I went to bed at 8:40 pm immediately after Julia and I got back from the Kelly Godfrey’s wedding and reception in Charlottesville. I woke up around 3 am and lay in bed resting and reflecting before getting up at 3:25 am. The words I heard from the LORD while lying in bed were “You are a TRANSFORMATION SPECIALIST. You are a SEER, able to see into the spiritual realm.”

Robert and Robin Kochis are a born-again Catholic couple that sing songs that have been a tremendous blessings to me over the past 7 years. Yesterday while doing pushups, situps, and squats, I listened to their CD “Shepherd Me O God.” The words in the third song particularly struck home with me.

“VISION CASTING for the next decade” – that is what every webinar you do, Randy, is to be about. In this first year of the new decade, my leaders are to cast their visions for the next 10 years.

Randy, the Kingdom of God is spread by a force. There is a major spiritual war going on and it’s time for My children to become aware of that and live their lives accordingly. I want My children to live their lives on purpose and with passion. Purpose drives passion. A catalyst for God is someone who is not afraid to throw a spiritual bomb into a room to wake people up to the fact that I AM saying it’s time for change. The time is NOW. I love risk takers.

After observing my own behaviors and those closest to me, I feel confident saying you are most likely to succeed in establishing journaling as a firm habit when you do your journaling early in your morning.

I’m sure you have written a love letter back when you were young, or wrote a sympathetic poem, both males and females. There is something about clearly putting down your feelings on paper that makes them more concrete and understandable/manageable by you. The same is true with your lifelong relationship with God. When you take time out to just sit down and focus on the ‘Great I AM’, and the reality of who He is to you expands your comprehensiveness. Do this on a regular basis, and you will be amazed at how much deeper and more real your understanding and your connection to the Lord will be.
