		<description><![CDATA[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.]]></description>

<p><img alt="" src="http://journal777.com/images/blog/2010/06/jesus-baptism_300w.jpg" title="Jesus baptism" class="alignright" width="300" height="225" />The very first thing I wrote down was &#8220;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.

<p>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 <a href="http://30-days-to-breakthrough.com" target="_blank">30 Days To Breakthrough</a> free e-course. In my opinion, this will be the greatest legacy I ever leave. </p>
<p>I had about 90 people sign up for that course during February, the first month it was available. One of my favorite stories of a changed life is <a href="http://abigail777.com/welcome/meet-abigail/" target="_blank">Abigail Slocum</a>.</p>
<p>Abigail was one of the first people to sign up for the 30 day journey. However, she found herself distracted with life circumstances and never completed that to her satisfaction. But God finishes what he starts. So on June 1, 2010, Abigail decided to repeat the course, this time purposing to journal every day and to post her answers from the Lord on her blog. Be inspired as you read Abigail&#8217;s post &#8220;<a href="http://abigail777.com/the-story-behind-my-big-breakthrough/" target="_blank">The Story Behind My BIG Breakthrough</a>.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday, I began a series about &#8220;Fruit of Journaling.&#8221; I wrote about &#8220;<a href="http://journal777.com/fruit-of-journaling/" target="_blank">Covenant Relationship &#8211; Authenticity</a>.&#8221; Today, I share a second example of fruit from journaling, namely a Vibrant Prayer Life. </p>
<p>I have a vibrant prayer life and a radical faith. When the Lord asks me to do something I’m willing to do that, whatever the cost.</p>
<p>As I have journaled more and more over time, I&#8217;ve developed such an intimacy and love for Jesus. Being thankful for the little things in life helps me maintain my joy.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Nehemiah 8:10b, &#8220;Do not sorrow, for <strong>the joy of the LORD is your strength</strong>.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Isaiah 29:19 The humble also shall increase their joy in the LORD, And the poor among men shall rejoice In the Holy One of Israel.</span></p>
<p>There is a protocol for entering the presence of the King &#8211; thanksgiving and praise.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Ne 12:46 For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were chiefs of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Ps 69:30 I will praise the name of God with a song, And will magnify Him with thanksgiving.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Ps 100:4 <strong>Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.</strong></span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #993366;">My favorite method for journaling is &#8220;Yesterday &#8230; Prayer Power.&#8221;</span></strong> At the start of each morning, I make a list of things I did and recall happening the day before. At first yesterday is a blur, but as I start to write down what I remember, I begin to notice all kinds of blessings that I might have missed or forgotten about otherwise. I understand how things are related and recognize how God is using me to change lives. I notice what works and what doesn&#8217;t. At the end of each item, I write &#8220;Thank You Jesus!&#8221; Based on personal experience, writing those 3 words makes a tremendous difference in developing an attitude of gratitude and giving glory to God.</p>
<p>After thanking Jesus for the blessings of yesterday, I ask Him what He wants to share with me that morning. Then I write down what comes to my mind spontaneously without judging it. Very quickly, there is a FLOW of thoughts and love. I keep writing until the flow stops. By writing down my conversation with the LORD, I can go back and review it.</p>
<p>As Mark Virkler teaches, &#8220;<strong><span style="color: #008000;">Hearing God&#8217;s voice is as easy as quieting your mind (STILLNESS), fixing your eyes on Jesus (VISION), tuning to SPONTANEITY, and writing (JOURNALING).</span></strong>&#8221; Mark is the author of &#8220;How To Hear God&#8217;s Voice.&#8221;</p>
<p>Here is what Virginia Morton, author of Marching Through Culpeper, wrote in her blog post on July 8, 2009,</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8220;<strong><span style="color: #993366;">Two-way journaling with Jesus is powerful! </span></strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">So you’re probably wondering what is two-way journaling. It’s actually not complicated. Write in your prayer journal on a regular basis, daily if possible. Ask Jesus specific questions about your problems, decisions, direction, etc. Picture Him sitting beside you. Then be still and listen for His answers. According to Jerry, when we’re quiet and waiting, we should write whatever comes into our minds. This is how we hear His voice. Don’t think about what you’re writing and don’t worry if it doesn’t make sense. Just write everything that comes.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">The power is when you go back and read what He has said. Believe that it is His voice and act. I’ve found I’m the most inspired and know I’m on the right track when I go back and reread Jesus’ answers in my prayer journal. I like to highlight them in red.&#8221;</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t profess to always be right in hearing from God, but being right 80% of the time and acting on what I hear is far better than never or rarely trusting in what I hear and acting on it.</p>
<p>In John 10:27, Jesus says &#8220;<strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.</span></strong>&#8221;</p>
<p>My journal is full of incredible God stories and answered prayers. Answered prayers build faith as well as my prayer life.</p>
<p>Practicing the presence of God in my mornings has helped me develop the habit of practicing the presence of God throughout my days. I now stay in constant dialog with the LORD as I go about my days.</p>
<p>What is prayer? It&#8217;s communion with God. <strong><span style="color: #993366;">Prayer is the Christian&#8217;s lifeline to God, and with it lives are changed for eternity!</span></strong> E.M. Bounds knew the secrets of prayer and that God has established divine principles and promises for our every need. Since the time of the apostles, no man besides E.M. Bounds has left such a rich inheritance of biblical research into the life of prayer. Prayer was as natural to him as breathing the air. He made prayer first and foremost in his life because he knew it as the strongest link between man and God.</p>
<p>E.M. Bounds wrote, &#8220;<strong><span style="color: #008000;">The most important lesson we can learn is how to pray&#8230; God shapes the world by prayer.</span></strong>&#8221;</p>
<p>Mt 7:7 &#8220;<strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.</span></strong>&#8221;</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Blessings to develop a vibrant prayer life!</span></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have experienced and continue to experience so much fruit from journaling that I could easily write a new book every month sharing God stories related to that. But let me share just a few concrete examples here.</p>
<ol>
<li>Covenant Relationships &#8211; Authenticity</li>
<li>Vibrant prayer life / Radical Faith</li>
<li>Clarity</li>
<li>Fruit of the Spirit</li>
<li>Financial blessings</li>
<li>Your Daily Blessing</li>
<li>Alignment with my assignment</li>
</ol>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">#1) COVENANT RELATIONSHIP &#8211; AUTHENTICITY </span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #993366;">THRIVING not surviving </span></strong></p>
<p>Journaling has helped me be more real with God. And that leads to being more real with people. Authenticity is where real life happens. Authenticity leads to deeper relationships. And according to Jesus in the Greatest Commandment, life is about RELATIONSHIPS.</p>
<p>The Greatest Commandment = Life is about relationships!</p>
<p>The theme verse for my life is the Greatest Commandment shared by Jesus in three different Gospels. Jesus said that the whole Bible can be summarized in the Greatest Commandment &#8211; LOVE God with all your being and LOVE your neighbor as yourself. Life is all about love. Love should be your top priority, primary objective, and greatest ambition. Busyness is a great enemy of relationships. The best was to spell love is &#8220;T-I-M-E.&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Mt 22:36-40 &#8220;Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?&#8221; Jesus said to him,&#8221; ‘You shall <strong>love the LORD your God</strong> with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall <strong>love your neighbor</strong> as yourself.’ <strong>On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.</strong>&#8220;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. <strong>These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them upon your children.</strong> Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. (Deuteronomy 6:4-7)</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;">Are you experiencing the love of God daily?<br />
Are you manifesting that love in the lives of others?<br />
If not, will you allow TEAM DESTINY to coach you?</span></p>
<p>C.S. Lewis wrote, &#8220;<strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">The prayer preceding all prayers is this, &#8216;May it be the real I who speaks. May it be the real Thou that I speak to.</span></strong>&#8216;&#8221; It’s so important to be authentic, to be real, to take off our masks in relationships.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #993366;">One of the greatest blessings we can ever experience in our lives is the gift of COVENANT relationships. </span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #008000;">God is a covenant God</span></strong>, and He created marriage as a covenant. So before we can understand what marriage is, we need to learn what covenant is. Without the binding commitment of a covenant, a marriage is only a promise on paper, which moths and rust can destroy. (Matthew 6:19-20)</p>
<p><strong>What is a covenant relationship?</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>It is a Lawful Fellowship</li>
<li>It is a Stable Fellowship</li>
<li>It Is a Faith-Inspiring Fellowship</li>
<li>It Is an Exclusive Fellowship</li>
</ol>
<p>In a covenant, the root concept is commitment. Commitment unto death. If you and I are in covenant, and you have a need, and I am able to fulfill it, there wouldn’t even be any thought about &#8220;Should I?&#8221; I would desire to meet the need even at the expense of not meeting my own needs.</p>

</ul>
<p><strong>Blessings of Relationships I&#8217;ve experienced</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>WIFE: As I have grown closer to God, I have fallen in love with my wife more than when I first met her. I am committed to my wife for life. Just as Jesus promises to never leave nor forsake me, I will never leave nor forsake her. That commitment has sustained us through tough times.</li>
<li>CHILDREN: As I have grown closer to God, I have developed more patience with my children, loving them for who they are and where they are at in their life journey, not for what they do. I regularly pray for and speak blessings into their lives. And guess what &#8211; they are making better and better choices as time goes on. That&#8217;s the favor of God.</li>
<li>PARENTS:  As I have grown closer to God, I have developed a deep sense of appreciation for my parents and my wife&#8217;s parents for all they sowed into my life. For me, to honor them now is a privilege, not a duty. I adopt their needs and concerns as my own and pray regularly for those and do what I can to help out. I have great joy seeing those prayers answered.</li>
<li>FRIENDS: As I have grown closer to God, He has blessed me with close relationships with many godly people. I am committed to my close friends. We meet regularly, often virtually and in small groups. Prayer is a regular part of our communication and blessing of one another. As I pray for them and God reveals how I can possibly help them, I connect them to people, ideas, and resources to fulfill their God-given destinies.</li>
<li>WORK: I view my clients as covenant partners, not as money trees. I pursue Kingdom transactions rather than business transactions.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Blessings to prioritize your relationship with God and then people!</span></strong></p>

<p>We have a living God, a speaking God! One who loves us, His children, and He particularly loves to speak to us! He can speak to any one of us who love Him.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">&#8220;In the Last Days I will pour out of My Spirit upon <strong>all flesh</strong>: your sons and your daughters shall<strong> prophesy</strong>, and your young men shall see <strong>visions</strong>, and your old men shall dream <strong>dreams</strong>&#8221; (Acts 2:17).</span></p>
<p>You might be thinking, &#8220;I read the Bible every day, so I&#8217;m hearing from the Lord every day.&#8221; While it&#8217;s good to read the Bible, the recorded Word of the Lord, which is the foundation of our Christian faith, it&#8217;s wonderful to also hear straight from the Lord and <span style="color: #0000ff;">&#8220;take heed to His sure <strong>word of prophecy</strong>, as to a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in our hearts&#8221; (2 Peter 1:19).</span></p>
<p>His Word says to <span style="color: #0000ff;">&#8220;Stir up the gift of God which is in you&#8221; (2 Timothy 1:6)</span>. So, every day should be a new experience for us, a new listening to the Voice of the Lord. Why live only on yesterdays spiritual food, when we can have fresh <span style="color: #0000ff;">&#8220;<strong>manna from Heaven</strong>&#8221; (John 6:58)</span> every day? Jesus still speaks today! Listen to what He told me on June 15, 2008:</p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>I have the KEYS &#8211; simple keys to BREAKTHROUGH.</strong></span><span style="color: #ff0000;"> It&#8217;s not complicated. You have to trust me on this. Just keep writing down what You hear me saying. I know what works and what doesn&#8217;t. I am the Alpha and Omega, so I see the end from the beginning. I have to show You before you can show others. What you shared at Soul Purpose Church today was good. Even though it seems that most people didn&#8217;t get it, seeds were planted. You have a generous heart. What you&#8217;re doing in secret, I will reward openly. That&#8217;s My word &#8211; that&#8217;s My promise. </span></p>

<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><span style="color: #008000;">Randy, you have discovered the key to opening the door to anyone or any organization. By offering to host a free webinar for them to promote their favorite story, product, or service, you will be allowed to demonstrate your skill, your excellence.</span></strong> It&#8217;s not necessary to try to get people to be live on these introductory webinars. Rather, your goal is to create Information Products and 4 week coaching programs. You can call each of these programs &#8220;30 Days To &#8230;&#8221; Your objective to change lives in each of these programs is to establish a new habit in each participants that will lead to permanent change. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>A 4 week coaching program is the ideal length of time because that&#8217;s how long it takes to establish a new habit. This also allows you to start a new coaching program at the start of every month.</strong> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Randy, I AM blessing you with more and more wisdom. You have asked Me for this and My promise to everyone who asks is to bless them liberally with wisdom. You have been seeking My Kingdom and My righteousness first nearly every day and that&#8217;s all I can ask for from anyone. My favor is upon you &#8211; great favor. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Randy, you can also <strong>create 30 day autoresponder series to go along with any free program</strong>. That keeps you connected to your new subscribers for a long enough period of time to demonstrate your expertise, market lots of affiliate products, and expose them to the opportunity to take a 4-week coaching course. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Remember how I revealed the strategy of each person in the PN777 course doing one introductory webinar followed by a 4 week course. That&#8217;s what I want you do for Journaling. Your 30 day series can be called &#8220;30 Days to Journaling For Breakthroughs.&#8221; You already have your 4-week course. The price I want you to charge for a life-changing webinar information product is $97.</strong> Be consistent across the board. Remember that I despise differing weights and differing measures. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Randy, I want you to apply these principles to both Rick Grubbs and to the Ziglar family. Let them see what I can do through You. I want you to get started now with your &#8220;30 Days to Journaling For Breakthroughs.&#8221;</span></p>

He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day, Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Ps 91:14-16 &#8220;<strong>Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him</strong>; I will set him on high, because he has known My name.

<p><strong>Day 0 Autoresponder for &#8220;30 Days to Breakthrough&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>Subject: Welcome to &#8220;30 Days to Breakthrough&#8221; &#8211; Commit to the HABIT of journaling every day</p>
<p>Dear {!firstname_fix},</p>
<p>Welcome to &#8220;30 Days to Breakthrough!&#8221;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s no accident you are here. God has connected you to me to BLESS YOU &#8211; to allow you to experience Him in extraordinary ways for extraordinary fruit.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s something I can give to you because I experiencing God in extraordinary ways for extraordinary fruit nearly every day.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s no joke. Do you know it&#8217;s been several years since I had a &#8220;bad day.&#8221;</p>
<p>Oh, don&#8217;t get me wrong. I&#8217;ve had some storms in life &#8211; some relational ones, some financial ones, some health-related, and still others. Yet, through it all, I&#8217;ve always maintained my JOY. In fact, it&#8217;s extremely rare that my daily JOY score is not at least an 8 or a 9 on a scale of 1-10. As the Bible says, &#8220;The JOY of the LORD is my strength.&#8221;</p>
<p>What about you?<br />
What is your average daily JOY score on a scale of 1-10?<br />
What has it been for the past 30 days?<br />
For the past 90 days?<br />
For the past year?<br />
For the past 3 years?<br />
What do you want it to be 30 days from now?</p>
<p>Rick Warren, author of The Purpose Driven Life and one of the most influential pastors in America, says &#8220;The purpose of the Bible is to change lives!&#8221; and &#8220;The purpose of preaching is to change lives!&#8221; That&#8217;s our purpose here to &#8211; to change your life. But for that to happen you must do your part.</p>
<p>For me, journaling is the LEAD DOMINO for my life. It&#8217;s THE KEY to unlock my dreams. I think that&#8217;s true for many other people as well.</p>
<p>There are lots of benefits of journaling, but here are two related to TIME and MONEY.</p>
<p>1) Each minute of planning saves ten minutes of implementation.</p>
<p>2) Brian Tracy, a motivational speaker, says &#8220;What does it take to succeed on a big scale? A tremendous God-given talent? Inherited wealth? A decade of postgraduate education? Connections? Fortunately, for most of us, what it takes it something very simple and accessible: clear, written goals.&#8221; According to Brian Tracy, a study of Harvard graduates found that After two years, the 3 percent who had written goals achieved more financially than the other 97 percent combined!&#8221;</p>
<p>Extrapolating from this, only 3 percent of people set written goals and those who do earn on average more than 30x as much as those who don&#8217;t.</p>
<p>During the next 30 days, we want to challenge you to COMMIT to establishing the HABIT of journaling every day without missing a single day.</p>
<p>Why focus on a habit? Because good habits are the key to all success. The secret of your future is hidden in your daily routine. Successful people do daily what unsuccessful people do occasionally. And we want you to be successful.</p>
<p>Why 30 days? Because on average it takes 3-4 weeks to establish a new habit.</p>
<p>So here&#8217;s the million dollar question, &#8220;Will you commit TODAY to journal (write) every day for the next 30 days without missing a single day and let me be your Journaling Coach?&#8221;</p>
<p>If so, write (or type) this on 3 pieces of paper, &#8220;Starting _____________ (date), I commit to journal every day for the next 30 days.&#8221; Then post these reminders in three of the most common places you visit nearly every day (e.g. the bathroom mirror, your computer, your desk, your refrigerator, your car). Also, let 3 family members and/or friends know about this commitment you have made. The purpose of this is ACCOUNTABILITY &#8211; the password to your future.</p>
<p>If you won&#8217;t make this commitment, I can&#8217;t help you as a Journaling Coach. To change or grow, your first step is to want to change. Your second step is to ask for and receive help.</p>
<p>As your JOURNALING COACH, I&#8217;d like to also ask you to commit to reading one of these emails every day, without missing a day. If you do happen to miss a day, go back right away the next day and catch up. You want a journal entry for every day. I&#8217;ll be asking you one new question each day.</p>
<p>Why read an email every day? Because during the next 30 days I&#8217;ll be laying out a step-by-step plan for you to GROW and BREAKTHROUGH. By taking baby steps, day after day, you&#8217;re much more likely to succeed &#8211; to keep moving forward and not give up. If you follow my plan, you&#8217;re almost certain to experience much more fruit in your life.</p>
<p>How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Blessings to make and keep a commitment to journal every day!</span></strong></p>

<p>1. Keeping a Journal- One of the Three Treasures to Leave Behind by Jim Rohn<br />
(excerpted from his How to Use a Journal audio CD)</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">If you’re serious about becoming a wealthy, powerful, sophisticated, healthy, influential, cultured and unique individual, keep a journal.</span></strong> Don’t trust your memory. When you listen to something valuable, write it down. When you come across something important, write it down.</p>
<p>I used to take notes on pieces of paper and torn-off corners and backs of old envelopes. I wrote ideas on restaurant placemats. On long sheets, narrow sheets and little sheets and pieces of paper thrown in a drawer. Then I found out that the best way to organize those ideas is to keep a journal. I’ve been keeping these journals since the age of 25. The discipline makes up a valuable part of my learning, and the journals are a valuable part of my library.</p>
<p>I am a buyer of blank books. Kids find it interesting that I would buy a blank book. They say, &#8220;Twenty-six dollars for a blank book! Why would you pay that?&#8221; The reason I pay 26 dollars is to challenge myself to find something worth 26 dollars to put in there. <strong>All my journals are private</strong>, but if you ever got a hold of one of them, you wouldn’t have to look very far to discover it is worth more than 26 dollars.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #993366;">I must admit, if you got a glimpse of my journals, you’d have to say that I am a serious student. I’m not just committed to my craft; I’m committed to life, committed to learning new concepts and skills. I want to see what I can do with seed, soil, sunshine and rain to turn them into the building blocks of a productive life.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #008000;">Keeping a journal is so important. I call it one of the three treasures to leave behind for the next generation.</span></strong> In fact, future generations will find these three treasures far more valuable than your furniture.</p>
<p><strong>The first treasure is your pictures. Take a lot of pictures.</strong> Don’t be lazy in capturing the event. How long does it take to capture the event? A fraction of a second. How long does it take to miss the event? A fraction of a second. So don’t miss the pictures. When you’re gone, they’ll keep the memories alive.</p>
<p><strong>The second treasure is your library. This is the library that taught you, that instructed you, that helped you defend your ideals.</strong> It helped you develop a philosophy. It helped you become wealthy, powerful, healthy, sophisticated and unique. It may have helped you conquer some disease. It may have helped you conquer poverty. It may have caused you to walk away from the ghetto. Your library- the books that instructed you, fed your mind and fed your soul- is one of the greatest gifts you can leave behind.</p>
<p><strong>The third treasure is your journals</strong>: the ideas that you picked up, the information that you meticulously gathered. But of the three, journal writing is one of the greatest indications that you’re a serious student. Taking pictures, that is pretty easy. Buying a book at a bookstore, that’s pretty easy. It is a little more challenging to be a student of your own life, your own future, your own destiny. Take the time to keep notes and to keep a journal. You’ll be so glad you did. What a treasure to leave behind when you go. What a treasure to enjoy today!</p>

<p><strong>2. Vitamins for the Mind by Jim Rohn</strong></p>
<p>Happiness</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Learn how to be happy with what you have while you pursue all that you want.</span></strong></p>
<p>Happiness is not an accident. Nor is it something you wish for. Happiness is something you design.</p>
<p>How sad to see a father with money and no joy. The man studied economics, but never studied happiness.</p>
<p>The greatest source of unhappiness comes from inside.</p>
<p>Happiness is the art of learning how to get joy from your substance.</p>
<p>Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.</p>
<p>&#8220;Vitamins for the Mind&#8221; is a weekly sampling of original quotes on a specific topic taken from The Treasury of Quotes by Jim Rohn (TTOQ). TTOQ, a beautiful, burgundy hardbound book with gold-foil lettering, is a collection of over 365 quotes on 60 topics gathered from Jim&#8217;s personal journals, seminars and books spanning over 39 years. To order the TTOQ by Jim Rohn or Excerpts from TTOQ by Jim Rohn or Brian Tracy, please go to Jim Rohn&#8217;s Online Catalog.</p>
<p><strong>3. Your Dream Begins Today by Les Brown</strong></p>
<p>What will your life be like when you’ve achieved your most deeply held dreams? Let’s take a look at how you can start living your dreams this very day.</p>
<p>Do you have a dream, a vision of the life you wish to live?<br />
How specific is that dream?<br />
How clear is that vision?<br />
How do you intend to reach it?<br />
What obstacles stand in your way?<br />
Are your fears holding you back or are you using them to move you forward?</p>
<p>Your fears can actually lead you to success. Fear is an intense emotion. But that doesn’t mean it has to control you, or even stop you. Fear can prepare you and push you forward just as strongly as it can hold you back. Fear heightens your awareness and increases your physical strength. Fear brings your mind to sharp focus. With all that going for you, does it make sense to just run and hide? Of course not. Fear gets you in shape to take action!</p>
<p>Are you waiting for things to get better before moving ahead? If you’re serious about success, you need to start taking action today. If you’re waiting for things to be perfect, you’ll wait forever and nothing will ever get done.</p>
<p>The way to achieve is to bloom where you’re planted, to do what you can, where you are, with what you have. It’s easy to think up excuses for not taking action. &#8220;If only I had more hours in the day. If only I had a better job. If only I could meet the right person.&#8221; But excuses won’t bring you anything of value. You’ve got to change your &#8220;if only&#8221; into an &#8220;I will.&#8221; &#8220;I will make better use of my time. I will work on improving my career. I will create and nurture my relationships.&#8221;</p>
<p>Take a chance. Have faith in yourself. Your circumstances will improve when you make the effort to improve them. Start where you are right now. You have everything it takes to reach for whatever you desire. Stop wishing. Use your time, your energy, your thoughts and efforts to make it happen! You’ll be glad you did!</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #993366;">&#8220;You have to do more than you get paid for because that&#8217;s where the fortune is.&#8221; &#8211; Jim Rohn</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Blessings to keep a journal to leave a rich legacy!</span></strong></p>

<p></center></p>
<p>There is no right or wrong method for journaling. As mentioned previously, journaling needs to be individualized to uniquely suit who you are and your writing and life styles. Over time, your journaling will likely evolve as you grow.</p>
<p>However, as one of the most experienced journalers in the world anointed and appointed by God to coach others to journal to hear His voice, I have discovered and used three simple and powerful journaling methods that I will share here:</p>
<ul>
<li>Yesterday &#8230; and Prayer Power</li>
<li>PRESS method</li>
<li>ACTS</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><span style="color: #008000;">One of the simplest and most effective methods for journaling is what I call &#8220;Yesterday &#8230; Prayer Power.&#8221;</span></strong></p>
<p>No matter what method you choose to use, you can journal either in a notebook or on your computer (online). I highly recommend the latter for a multitude of reasons which you will read about in a later chapter.</p>
<p><span style="background:yellow;">Regardless of your journaling method, it’s important to frequently share your God stories</span> &#8211; letting others know what Jesus is doing in your life. There are lots of &#8220;good&#8221; people in this world, but good doesn’t get you into heaven &#8211; Jesus does. Spiritually-lost people in your sphere of influence are literally dying for you to introduce them to Jesus.</p>
<p>Rev. Mark Jarvis, who was the one who led me to a personal relationship with Jesus, says his life purpose is to know God make Him known. I believe that is something that Jesus wants every one of his disciples to do &#8211; to know Him and make Him known.</p>
<p>People frequently talk about their best friends. Jesus is my best friend. What about you? <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Is Jesus your best friend?</span> If so, are you talking about Him to those you cross paths with? If not, what can you do to change that?</strong></p>
<p>I love the story of the Samaritan woman at the well. She hadn’t read the Bible. She hadn’t done a lot of praying but she had met the living and true God. And after meeting Jesus, she went and told people she know about Jesus and invited them to meet Jesus too.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #008000;">Tips For Using Your Journal For Personal Growth</span></strong> (from Lynne Lee)<br />
1) Keep it simple<br />
2) Don’t edit as you write<br />
3) Focus on your thoughts and feelings</p>
<p><strong>Prayer Power<br />
<span style="color: #ff6600;">Heavenly Father, thank You for making each of us unique. Thank You for the many different journaling methods that can be customized to uniquely fit each of our personalities and lifestyles. May you guide each reader to a journaling method that will bear the most fruit in their lives. Thank You Jesus. Amen and Hallelujah!</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #993366;">Blessings to choose a simple and effective journaling method that will yield much fruit for the Kingdom of God!</span></strong></p>

<p></center></p>
<p>After observing my own behaviors and those closest to me, I feel confident saying <span style="background:yellow;">you are most likely to succeed in establishing journaling as a firm habit when you do your journaling early in your morning</span>.</p>
<p>If you’re like me and most other people, your days often spiral out-of-control as they go along, seeming to get more and more hectic. New and unexpected things pop up to distract you. I know I’m definitely most productive in the first few hours of the morning. When I save an activity for the evening, it’s easy for that to get bumped out of my schedule by other pressing matters. What you do first thing in the morning sets the tone for the rest of your day.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">If you think you’re &#8220;not a morning person,&#8221; my advice to you is &#8220;Get over it.&#8221; God is a morning God.</span></strong> God tells us to give him our first fruit, not our left overs. When you start your day poorly or sluggish, what kind of results do you expect? If you fail to receive your guidance or instructions from the LORD during abiding time early in the day, who are you really living that day for?</p>
<p><img class="alignright" title="Secrets of the Vine by Bruce Wilkinson" src="http://journal777.com/images/blog/2009/12/secrets-of-the-vine1_250w.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="348" />In his book &#8220;Secrets Of The Vine,&#8221; Bruce Wilkinson writes, &#8220;Set apart the kind of time that will build relationship. Some Christians I know try to have their meaningful personal times with God just before bed, but <strong>I have yet to find a respected spiritual leader throughout history who had devotions at night.</strong> <span style="background:yellow;">Unless you get up early, you’re unlikely to break through to a deeper relationship with God.</span> Set aside a significant time and a private place where you can read and write comfortably, think, study, talk to God out loud, and weep if you need to. In abiding, what happens on the surface doesn’t count; what’s happening inside does.&#8221;</p>
<p>My recommendation is to start each day by going to &#8220;your secret place,&#8221; kneel down, and pray for a few minutes. My personal habit is to say the &#8220;Lord’s Prayer&#8221; several times along with a few other short prayers. Then I read the Bible or start listening to it using iTunes. I nearly always start journaling within the first 30-60 minutes.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Prayer Power<br />
</span>Heavenly Father, thank You for my steady habit of journaling early in the morning. Thank You for all the fruit that results from that. Speak to the hearts of those who read or listen to this message as to when you want each of them to journal. Help them to overcome obstacles that get in the way of a closer walk with You. In Jesus&#8217; name I pray. Amen.</strong> </span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #993366;">Blessings to journal early in the morning to set the tone for fruitful days!</span></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span style="color: #008000;">The Top 5 Reasons For Christians to Start and Maintain a Prayer Journal</span></strong><br />
We Need One More Than We Know!</p>
<p>Source: <a title="OLIN e-Publishing Company" href="http://olinepublishing.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">http://olinepublishing.blogspot.com/</a> (posted Dec 15, 2009)</p>
<p><strong>1) You Will Develop a More Intimate Relationship With our Triune God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit!</strong> I&#8217;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 &#8216;Great I AM&#8217;, 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.</p>
<p><strong>2) It Will Revolutionize Your Faith!</strong> When you are going through a trial, it is great to have the living Word of God (Bible) there by your side. You can meditate on the countless times God came through for His people in the past. However, having your own book of answered prayers from the Lord in addition with your Bible can be even much better and truly revealing. Your prayer journal will be a ready reminder of the actual times God&#8217;s faithfulness was to you when you needed it most.</p>
<p><strong>3) It Makes God&#8217;s Word Real (Living/Breathing)!</strong> Using a prayer journal is an excellent means of Bible Study and daily devotion. When you journal on the things God reveals to you personally, through the studying of His Word, the letters no longer just sit on the pages. It allows Him to reveal what they mean for you exactly where you are at that time.</p>
<p><strong>4) You&#8217;ll Be More Focused During Your Prayer/Meditation Time!</strong> Have you ever been praying and the next thing you know, you&#8217;re thinking about today&#8217;s &#8216;To Do List&#8217; or something else totally off topic? Writing down your prayers and intentions keeps you focused where it needs to be &#8211; on spending time with your Heavenly Father and what He wants for you to know for that moment.</p>
<p><strong>5) You&#8217;ll Create A Lasting Legacy of Faith! <span style="color: #ff0000;">Over time, your prayer journal will develop into a beautiful love story between you and the Lord.</span></strong> It will hold all of the truths that He reveals to your heart throughout the years of your daily journey with Him, and His great provision for your family through the years. A lasting legacy of faith and your &#8216;daily walk with the Lord&#8217; &#8211; Wouldn&#8217;t that be something wonderful to pass on to future generations?</p>
<p>Would it be good for you to know where a child of God thoughts and feelings were on a certain but common issue? Would it help to know that another child of God really struggled with &#8216;this&#8217; and &#8216;that&#8217; and how God helped move them pass the confusion and struggle into &#8216;His light of clarity&#8217;? You bet it would be helpful and that is what you can leave for your loved ones. Remember it truly helps us humans to know that we aren&#8217;t the only one who struggles with a certain issue(s). We don&#8217;t like to be too very different than another and that is what you can leave for and to help your future loved ones.</p>
<p>Now because OLIN never wants to be just &#8216;average&#8217; we have included with our prayer journal e-kit many other Christian helps and tools. Such as a printable tri-fold brochure called, &#8216;Find The Right Bible Passage&#8217;. You can print out as many as you want. Hand them out to others at work,school or the club. It is the most effective way we know of how to get another to open and read the Bible. We&#8217;ve also included several prayer books for your family to read, re-read and really dive in deep to understanding just what prayer, really is. A bunch of beautiful Christian stationery to write letters to others or to use as &#8216;household pin-up notes&#8217;. A large 482 page family devotional and six (6) different versions of the Holy Bible and a couple of easy to remember prayer books just for the kids. All this as well as the tools to be a better prayer warrior such as &#8216;custom Christian index cards&#8217;, &#8216;prayer time notification cards&#8217;, and &#8216;I prayed for you today&#8217; printable mini booklets to handout&#8217;. This is the bulk of the e-kit, it includes a few other tools and helps but I didn&#8217;t want this to get too long. You can get all the details about our &#8216;Prayer Journal e-kit with Christian Stationery&#8217; here .</p>
<p>So now we hope you better understand about prayer journals and what types of spiritual benefits it can bring you. We decided to lower our price on our package in order for more Christians to be able to give gifts during the holidays. We have even gone as far as to say but one e-kit, make everyone in your home a private prayer journal, then cretae a family prayer journal. Next give out individual printouts, a single e-book or make a three e-book set to give to another on your gift list. So please understand that when we said we would allow all this sharing and even lowered the price to under ten dollars, we can&#8217;t think of a easier way for cash strapped families to be able to still give gifts! We even have a link on the sales page for the e-kit that will open a window and instruct you in giving e-products if you don&#8217;t already know how to.</p>
<p>I really hope I have answered all the questions, given enough idea&#8217;s as to how to be able to give gifts this holiday. We have come to the fact that ten dollars is better than no dollars as we make our holiday plans and so on.So like I said in the last post, &#8216;It&#8217;s Almost a Christmas Miracle&#8217;, not because of just a ten dollars sale! No! Because it will allow those a chance to give gifts to their families and friends and we will have just enough for our plans!It&#8217;s about pulling it all together to work for ALL of us that makes it seem, Almost Like A Christmas Miracle. Please take advantage of this incredible offer but more importantly, make and use a prayer journal in the up-coming new year for you, your family and your friends. God bless, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from all of us at OLIN!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[What do you want for Christmas more than anything else? What is your greatest heart's desire? Sometimes you don't even know what that one thing is that would bring you total fulfillment, but guess what... God knows. He knows because He planted it in your heart before the foundation of the world. What could that be?]]></description>

<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>&#8220;For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.&#8221; (John 3:16)</strong></span></p>
<p>Today was another historical day of taking  a stand  for the WFJ GLOBAL MOVEMENT.  Team destiny hosted their final of three WFJ (Words From Jesus) webinars in December  2009 called &#8220;The Miracle of Christmas.&#8221;</p>
<p>Dr. Joseph Peck served as the global connector and host of this webinar. The guest panelists were: Deb Smith, Richard Mayhan,  Bertha Hinson, and me,  Abigail Slocum. <strong>Clearly the Holy Spirit  took control of the webinar before it ever started and never let go!</strong></p>
<p><strong>He began by waking me up at 3:22 AM to give me this prophetic word &#8211; WFJ: THE MIRACLE OF CHRISTMAS IS CHRIST! It was His way of orchestrating the whole focus for the discussion. These are the questions we covered:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>What is the Miracle of Christmas?</li>
<li>What is the significance of Isaiah 9:1-7?</li>
<li>How does someone come into the LIGHT of Jesus?</li>
<li>What can people do to experience their most special Christmas ever?</li>
<li>Prayer for an UNCOMMON Christmas blessing.</li>
</ol>
<p align="center"><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>WFJ: THE MIRACLE OF CHRISTMAS IS CHRIST!</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Take the tour of the Word and be free in Christ. <strong>CHRISTMAS IS A SEASON FOR MIRACLES BUT EVERY DAY IS A MIRACLE IN CHRIST!</strong> TO BE IN CHRIST IS THE GREATEST MIRACLE OF ALL.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>SALVATION IS THE GREATEST MIRACLE OF ALL.</strong> It is Gods free gift to all mankind. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him shall be saved (have eternal life).(John 3:16).</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">What is so miraculous is that <strong>SALVATION IS THE &#8220;GREAT EXCHANGE!&#8221;</strong> MAN GIVES GOD HIS IMPERFECT, BROKEN, SINFUL LIFE IN EXCHANGE FOR A PERFECT (COMPLETE) LIFE IN CHRIST. JESUS GIVES HIS ALL FOR OUR ALL!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">When you receive Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, the <strong>LIGHT OF THE WORLD &#8211; THE CANDLE OF MAN</strong>, comes into your heart to show you the most excellent way of all to live. IT IS THE WAY OF LOVE BECAUSE GOD IS LOVE.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">In this &#8220;GREAT EXCHANGE,&#8221; your old sinful man dies and the new man comes alive in Christ. <strong>CHRIST LIVES THROUGH YOU</strong> to live the perfect will of God which is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. (Romans 14:17).</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Unity of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is your inheritance as a born again child of God. <strong>IT IS A LIFE OF VICTORY AND TOTAL PROVISION</strong>. To be one with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is to be free from every bondage of sin and to be free to experience the fullness and abundance of life in Christ Jesus. <strong>JESUS IS THE DOOR TO FREEDOM AND TOTAL FULFILLMENT</strong>.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Jesus arms are open wide and <strong>ALL THAT BELONGS TO THE FATHER OF LIGHTS IS YOURS WHEN YOU SAY &#8220;YES&#8221; TO JESUS</strong> who is the express image and likeness of God, and His Kingdom of Love becomes yours!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">IT IS A SUPERNATURAL GIFT OF DIVINE INFUSION AND PROPORTION AND IS THE GREATEST MIRACLE OF ALL! Become one with the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. <strong>ALLOW THE PRINCE OF PEACE TO RULE IN YOUR HEART FOREVERMORE</strong>, for God set eternity in the heart of man. He loves YOU so much and nothing will ever separate YOU from His love.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>LET THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD LIGHT YOUR PATH AND BE A BEACON OF HOPE TO ALL MANKIND</strong>. THE KING OF GLORY HAS CHOSEN AND MADE A WAY TO TAKE UP RESIDENCE IN YOUR HEART AND BE YOUR KING AND PRINCE OF PEACE. SAY YES TO HIM AND THE KINGDOM IS YOURS!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.</strong> The Redeemer wants to take all of you in your imperfection and transform you into the likeness of Christ. <strong>RECEIVE THE GREATEST GIFT KNOWN TO MANKIND AND LIVE &#8220;THE GREAT ADVENTURE&#8221; IN CHRIST</strong>. NOTHING CAN COMPARE TO THIS INDECSRIBABLE GIFT OF PURE AND PERFECT LOVE. It is greater than anything you ever wanted for Christmas for it is the desire of your heart. <strong>RECEIVE GODS GIFT AND SPEND THE REST OF YOUR NATURAL LIFE AND ETERNITY UNWRAPPING JESUS</strong>, GODS GIFT OF HIMSELF WHO IS PERFECT LOVE. THERE IS NO END TO LOVE. REJOICE AND BE AT PEACE. <strong>IMMANUEL HAS COME!</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">RECEIVE ALL OF THE GREATEST MIRACLE WHO EVER WAS OR IS TO COME! Let Christ have free reign in your heart and become His walking talking miracle and witness to all mankind. Your light has come. <strong>BE GLORIFIED IN HIS ETERNAL PRESENCE.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>I LOVE YOU, MY CHILD. BE MADE WHOLE. ENTER THE JOY OF THE LORD. MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE PERFECT LOVER OF YOUR SOUL!</strong> BE SATISFIED IN ME. I AM YOUR FULFILLMENT AND HEARTS DESIRE. SHALOM.</span></p>
<p>Love in Jesus,</p>

<p><strong>Prayer Power</strong></p>
<p>If  you dont know Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, please say this prayer out loud from your heart and you shall be saved and come into God&#8217;s Kingdom of Love.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Father God, I believe in my heart that you sent your Son Jesus to die on the cross for me. I believe Jesus paid my sin debt in full. It was a debt I could not  repay and it was a debt Jesus did not owe. Thank You, Jesus. I accept your perfect gift and sacrifice. Come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior. Baptize me in the power of your Holy Spirit and I will serve you all the days of my life! I am saved! I am free! Thank you, in Jesus name. Amen.</strong></span></p>
<p>May you allow the God of all hope and the Prince of  Peace to rule in your heart this day and forevermore.  May this truly be your most significant Christmas  ever as the FULLNESS of the gift of God&#8217;s LOVE FOR YOU,  becomes  an everyday  reality in your life!</p>
<p><span style="color: #993366;"><strong>I BLESS YOU with the joy, laughter, and peace of God! I BLESS YOU with God&#8217;s amazing grace! I pray this in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.</strong></span></p>
