On the night of Sunday June 8, 2008 I went to bed around midnight and chose not to set my PDA alarm. I woke up around 6:25 AM the next morning (June 9) to use the bathroom and then lay in bed for about 10 minutes resting and reflecting before finally getting up. When I got up, I immediately came to my office, knelt down, and prayed. After that, I began journaling on my computer.

The first thing I was prompted to do was write a message titled “Are you seeking BREAKTHROUGHS in your life?” to send to my Your Daily Blessing followers in two days (on March 11). The key scripture I had chosen was Habakkuk 2:2 – Then the LORD answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it.”

Next, Holy Spirit prompted me to help Dr. Jerry Graham prepare a Daily Gram (e-blast) for him to send to his 800 or so followers on Wed June 11 about the introductory journaling webinars (“UNCOMMON Journaling for Breakthroughs”) we were promoting together. The purpose of those was to spark interest in the 5-week UNCOMMON Journaling For DESTINY online coaching program we were launching live on June 17 and 18.

When I accessed Jerry’s Constant Contact (email marketing) account to post the message I had prepared, I discovered to my surprise that Jerry had already prepared an outstanding message titled “Journaling as Communion with God” using the exact same scripture verse I had chosen – Habakkuk 2:2.

In his message (upcoming email), Jerry mentioned that the two of us were teaming up to do a 5-week, 35-day on-line course in journaling (UNCOMMON Journaling For Destiny) with a special emphasis on understanding your life purpose or destiny. He went on to say this was an exciting combination of two of the most significant learning experiences he had been blessed with in his life, namely journaling as a means of engaging in a two-way dialog with God, and coaching with a specific emphasis on the “discovery” of one’s life purpose and destiny.

Jerry went on to write, “Over 25 years ago, I was taught to journal as a means of hearing God’s voice by Dr. Mark Virkler, who has since become a good friend and ministry colleague. Mark developed a seminar that he continues to teach to this day around the world, called ‘Communion With God’.” I recommend you CLICK HERE to read Jerry’s entire email message. Jerry is one of the most experienced DESTINY coaches in the world.

Jerry’s email (that he hadn’t even sent out yet) prompted me to call Dr. Mark Virkler later that afternoon (June 9). This was the very first time I had ever spoken to or met Mark Virkler and what he shared was so inspiring. I discovered that Mark is one of the top teachers in the world about spiritual journaling. As I was showing Mark how I journal online and shared the amazing story about Habakkuk 2:2 from that morning, Mark told me Habakkuk 2:1-2 is the foundational scripture for his Communion With God Ministries.

Now that grabbed my attention. 3 times in one day the LORD brought the same scripture (Habakkuk 2:2) to my attention and from 3 different sources. So I was all ears as Mark shared his profound wisdom and insights with me. And Mark promptly followed up our conversation by sending two emails, including one titled “You Can Hear God’s Voice!”

Early the next morning (Tuesday June 10), I woke up with Holy Spirit’s instruction to immediately apply Mark’s “4 keys to hear God” and also design a new computer desktop image with those 4 keys. After typing my prayer with a 2-way dialog with God, I was astonished with the result – a deeper intimacy with the LORD.

It’s interesting to note that Holy Spirit had actually prompted Jerry to refer me to Mark two weeks earlier knowing we were soon launching our journaling course because he knew Mark well and that he was one of more experienced journalers in the world. However, as most of us frequently do, I failed to seize the opportunity at that time.

How many times have you missed GOLDEN OPPORTUNITIES because of failure to act in a timely fashion?

Prayer Power
LORD, you want each of us to learn to hear Your voice because You love us and have specific instructions to give us each day – not vague thoughts, but specific things You want us to know and to do. You know what works and what doesn’t. You want to take each of us to an entirely new level of abiding in You. You want us to experience Your love like never before. You want us to know that You’re not just here beside us, but You’re here to answer questions that we have. You have been waiting. Teach each of us to hear Your voice by applying Mark Virkler’s 4 simple keys. Thank You Jesus. Amen.

Blessings to learn to hear God’s voice by applying Mark’s 4 simple keys!

Hi Mark,

Last night I went to bed at 11:05 PM and chose not to set my PDA alarm. The Holy Spirit woke me up around 4:10 AM. I lay in bed wide awake for about 15 minutes and then got up at 4:20 AM, knowing I was to immediately apply your 4 keys. I have attached my new desktop background image (with your 4 keys) and my prayer from this morning. These will be an UNCOMMON blessing to you. Thank you for speaking LIFE into my life.

Blessings for divine provision!

Randy (Joseph) Peck’s two-way prayer from June 10, 2008 sent to Mark Virkler

Heavenly Father, here I go, writing out my spontaneous prayer early in the morning. I’m so excited to get back to what I’ve known for quite a while You want me to do. Forgive me for allowing all sorts of distractions to get in the way of this magnificent habit. Thank You for Your attention grabber yesterday with Habukkuk 2 and the UNCOMMON connection to Mark Virkler and his UNCOMMON message.

Thank You for waking me up early this morning knowing You wanted me to change my desktop background to include an image of Jesus, Mark Virkler’s 4 keys to hear from God, and Habukkuk 2:1-3. Thank You for each image of Jesus You led me to. Thank you Holy Spirit for using me as Your instrument to design the new image using Photoshop. I love it.

Jesus, I see You and hear You saying “You want to dine with me this morning and each day. You’re certainly welcome here in my home and wherever I go. I hear You saying “You want to start having two way conversations instead of one way ones. I hear You saying You’ve been waiting for this moment for so long.” I hear You saying “You’ve been knocking on the door of my heart – that You have the answers to the problems I’ve been facing and that the solutions are very simple. You have solutions to my financial difficulties.”

I hear you saying “Mark Virkler’s web page for Outstanding Links” is full of prospects and new contacts for you – people who have been waiting years to have God connect you to them.” I hear You saying, “Bless Mark – to open new vistas for him through social marketing.”

VISION: I see NEW HORIZONS OF OPPORTUNITIES opening for Mark as He steps into the Internet space age. I see Mark standing at the beach looking out at the ocean while a magnificent sunrise takes place. I see Mark fall to his knees and start to cry. This is what he has been waiting for. This is his MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH. I see people – lots of people starting to run up and surround Mark on the beach. So many people coming. They’ve been waiting to meet Mark. They want to just be near him. They want to learn from him. O God, I’m overwhelmed with what You are showing me. I’m overwhelmed by the joy on so may people’s faces.

Now I see the people around Mark beginning to sit down. Mark is starting to speak to them like You did, Jesus, for Your sermon on the mount. Now the people are eating while they listen. This is one of the most beautiful picnic scenes I have ever seen. So many people. Now more are coming. People are hungry for Your Word. They want to hear from You Jesus. This is what they’ve been waiting for. Overwhelming. Joy. Delight. Free thought. Freedom.

Now I hear You saying Jesus that “You want me to take everyone who signs up for Jerry and my 5 week online journaling course to go through something similar – to learn to hear God by following Mark’s 4 keys.”

I’m so excited. Thank You Jesus for showing this to me.

I hear You saying “You are going to open Mark’s eyes to the new horizons that WEBINARS will open for him. Not just doors, not just gates, but horizons of opportunities. I hear You saying “COVENANT with Mark!!!” You have knit our hearts together. You have been patiently waiting for this moment – for this opportunity to advance the Kingdom of God through the combination of journaling, coaching, and the web.

Praise be to God. Hallelujah. I receive. I will send this prayer to Mark this morning as You are telling me.

Now I see myself lying down to rest. You’re telling me go back to bed. Lay down. You’ve been obedient. My glory is upon You. People will be attracted to You because You will have the “AROMA OF CHRIST.” What you offer will be irresistible to so many people. Rest now. Rest. Peace be with you. My peace. Thank You for dining with me. I’ve really enjoyed this. Now you get it. It’s so easy. I’ve been waiting to have Mark teach you. You will never be the same. Thank You for your obedience – your UNCOMMON obedience. Thank You for acknowledging Me everywhere You go.

Jesus, I hear You say, “Cut and paste a specific verse from Proverbs 3 here now.”

Proverbs 3:6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

Thank You for directing my paths. You’ve gotten me here. I’m Yours – all Yours. Dead to myself. Alive in You – only in You.

Jesus, I’m going to email this prayer to Mark now along with the background image for my desktop You helped me design this morning. Then I’ll go to bed. Thank You for being my good Shepherd – my friend. I love You. I bless You.

Randy,

Wow! You really go for it!

Your new logo is great!

Your journaling is great!

You can take one more step with your journaling…

Journaling is two lovers sharing love… speaking back and forth.

So you can write in the first person, as Jesus speaking directly to you and calling you by name. He will say, “my son, I want to you know…” so He is speaking in the first person to you… rather than the way you have it written… “I hear you saying that…”

It is just one more step of faith for you to take… not a hard thing… it will come naturally.

You really should read our books “how to hear God’s Voice” and Dialogue With God.” And perhaps order the CD’s also on How to Hear God’s voice.”

You can listen to free downloads of me teaching on these four keys… free downloads at
http://www.cwgministries.org/Four-Keys-to-Hearing-Gods-Voice.htm

And your desktop creation.

Is that something we can upload to our website as a free download. Is that a screen saver image people could download and use on their desktops??? Excuse my ignorance.

And if we can do that, could you unsmoosh some of the works that got smooshed together and send me a finalized version we could put on our web and I could put on my computer.

And if there are ways you can help us spread this message faster to the world, I am all ears. My commission is to saturate the earth with the ability to hear God’s Voice.

Hi Mark,

Thank you for the encouragement and further coaching to improve my prayer time.

I will order the books and CD’s you recommend.

You are welcome to use the desktop image that the Holy Spirit helped me create this morning as a free download on your website. That is an amazing gift from above to bless not only me, but many people in your network. I recommend your son schedule an appointment with my graphics artist (JJ) to work out the details for modifying the image and get things just the way you want. To do so, email my Admin Assistant. Currently we have a few spots available on Mon June 16.

Regarding helping you spread your message to the world, I recommend we schedule a meeting with you, your son, Jerry Graham, and me for the week of June 23-27. Please let me know 2 dates and times you are available that week.

Blessings,
Randy

——————————————————————————–

On June 18, 2008 the morning after the very first “UNCOMMON Journaling for Destiny” class, I began the “daily” habit of applying Mark’s 4 keys to hear from God. Here is what Jesus told me in response to the Day #1 destiny question:

Day 1 Question
Lord, why do You want me to learn to hear Your voice?

Because I love You and I have specific instructions to give You each day – not vague thoughts, but specific things I want you to know and to do. Randy, I know what works and what doesn’t. I want to take you to an entirely new level of abiding in Me. I want you to experience My love like never before. I want You to know that I’m not just here beside You, but I’m here to answer questions that You have. I’ve been waiting.

All the things you’ve been praying and waiting for, I want to make happen. It was Me who put those desires in your heart. But first you had to learn to hear My voice. I know what order You are to do things, when You are to do things, what to do, and what not to do. I’m not a vague God. Just as you want your children to know clearly what you want them to do, so I want You to know clearly what I want You to to. I love You Randy. I want You to be married to Me, not just engaged. I can use you because You have a heart after my own heart. I’ve been preparing You. The time in NOW. Behold I do a new thing. My glory is upon You. My favor is upon You.

Jesus, I’m overwhelmed. This morning as I reflected back on yesterday, I realized all the breakthroughs that happened in just that one day. Then this morning, I have one of the most awesome days of my life. When Amy told me the Holy Spirit kept nudging her to pay for Beth Spangler, I was so grateful. Beth has been looking for and waiting for a friend like Amy for years. Thank You Jesus. Thank You.

Randy, this journaling course is more for you than it is for the participants. When I had Matt Gregory and Ben Stewart sign up as the first two people in the “UNCOMMON Journaling for Destiny” course, that was huge. You see, I’ve brought them into your life to be in covenant relationship with you for life. The greatest habit I have blessed you with is journaling and now I want to have you bless them with that habit. I want to take them to a much deeper abiding in Me. I want them to learn to hear My voice. Thank You, Randy, for obeying my recent instruction to listen to Julia.

Randy, another reason I want You to hear my voice is because I want You and Mark Virkler to be in covenant relationship with one another. Mark will open doors for prominent church and ministry leaders. You will meet Dr. Yonghi Cho in 2008. I’ll let you know when. Prepare your devotional message now. Thank you for dining with me again. When you’re ready, come back. I’ll be here.

Note: On February 27, 2010 I officially began using my middle name (Joseph) instead of my nickname (Randy) per the LORD’s instruction.

Maui got me up at 5:25 am. After feeding her and letting her outside briefly, I came to my Sacred Place (sunroom) to journal using my brand new “Sacred Time, Sacred Place: A Journal” for the first time. This was an UNCOMMON gift I received in the mail from Bruce (Cook) yesterday. The mail lady managed to deliver our mail despite the 4-5″ of new snow.

In his email to me dated December 15, Bruce wrote “BE expecting a powerful surprise this week! Just remember, in business it’s not always about whether you know someone. Often it Is about value that was created, or trust that leads to action.”

I began my quiet time in my Sacred Place by reading Patricia King’s introduction to her “Sacred Time, Sacred Place” journal. I happened to open to a page that said “In Memory of Oral Roberts!” That immediately grabbed my attention. Then I read the key scripture – Song of Solomon 2:14

O My dove, in the clefts of the rock,
In the secret pace of the steep pathway,
Let me see your form, let me hear your voice;
For your voice is sweet, and your form is lovely.

Next, I read “A Divine Appointment With Oral Roberts.” Patricia wrote,

“Three months before Dr. Oral Roberts went to be with the Lord, I had the privilege of being with him in his home. Prior to his departure to glory, he invited a number of ministers from around the world into his private quarters to pray over them. During this time he allowed each to ask a question. I desired to know how he had maintained his devotion time in the midst of many years of leading large mandates and assignments from the Lord. Another guest asked the question before it was my turn and I will never forget his answer.

He called his daily time with the Lord his Sacred Time. He explained that when he went into his prayer closet no one was allowed to interrupt him – including his wife and children. Everyone in his family and ministry respected this sacred time – his time alone with God. No phone calls, no visits, no questions, and today we could say, no internet! He informed us that when God spoke to him in his Sacred Time, he obeyed immediately. He stated, “God never had to speak twice to me. When he spoke, I obeyed.” He pursued the Lord with an undivided heart and with full belief that God would speak with him just as He spoke with Moses – face-to-face as a man speaks to his friend.

The enormous fruitfulness of Dr. Oral Roberts’ worldwide ministry was clearly a result of the God encounters and visitation of grace he experienced in his uninterrupted and undisturbed Sacred Time and Sacred Place.”

Next I read “How To Have A Fruitful Devotional Time With Jesus!” This was so good. I especially liked Patricia’s simple teaching about “What to do in a devotional time?” One of the things that jumped out at me was this, “Make a list of things that distract. Somethings in the midst of your devotion time you might receive some distracting thoughts such as, “Oh, I better remember to pay that bill later and email a friend.” Keep a small notepad available, and write those things down so you do not have to think on them again until after your devotion time is over.”

Finally, I read her “One Year Bible Reading Plan.” The Holy Spirit then prompted me to start with Day #1, so I read out loud Genesis 1-2 and Matthew 1 in the Maxwell Leadership Bible declaring and decreeing God’s Word. As I read John Maxwell’s introduction to Genesis, I realized the book of Genesis has 50 chapters. The number 50 is very significant. As I read these 3 chapters in the Bible, these scriptures stood out

Genesis 2:24-25 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

Matthew 1:18-25 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly. But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins.” So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.” Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife, and did not know her till she had brought forth her firstborn Son. And he called His name JESUS.

Joseph heard God and obeyed.

I then hand wrote this very first two-way prayer in my “Sacred Time, Sacred Place” journal.

Wow Jesus! My spirit is jumping for joy. Thank you for laying out the entire sequence of steps that were necessary to lead Bruce to sow this UNCOMMON seed – Sacred Time, Sacred Place: A Journal” into my life. Thank You for this morning’s rich abiding time. To You, I give all glory, honor, and praise. Blessed be Your holy name.

Thank You Joseph for your obedience. Your past has not been wasted. Your choices and decisions have led you to this turning point. Today, I lay before you life and death, blessings, and curses. Therefore, CHOOSE LIFE. Choose Me. What you were missing was your Sacred Place. Even your Sacred Time was not sacred. Today you begin a new life in Me, with Me, and through Me. Today you move from the natural to the SUPERNATURAL.

Delight yourself in Me and I will give you the desires of your heart. What are your desires?

Thank you for asking Jesus!

1) I’d like to be debt free by December 31, 2010.

2) I’d like to launch the 30-60-100 Master’s Mind Coaching by Christmas (2010).

3) I’d like to be praying and decreeing financial blessings with Julia starting today.

Ok, Joseph. I’ve heard your prayers and heart cry. BE blessed.

Blessings to establish a Sacred Time and Sacred Place and journal!

Joseph

UNCOMMON Journaling is the key
to unlock YOUR dreams!

Source: http://olinepublishing.blogspot.com/ (posted Dec 15, 2009)

1) You Will Develop a More Intimate Relationship With our Triune God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit! 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.

2) It Will Revolutionize Your Faith! 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’s faithfulness was to you when you needed it most.

3) It Makes God’s Word Real (Living/Breathing)! 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.

4) You’ll Be More Focused During Your Prayer/Meditation Time! Have you ever been praying and the next thing you know, you’re thinking about today’s ‘To Do List’ or something else totally off topic? Writing down your prayers and intentions keeps you focused where it needs to be – on spending time with your Heavenly Father and what He wants for you to know for that moment.

5) You’ll Create A Lasting Legacy of Faith! Over time, your prayer journal will develop into a beautiful love story between you and the Lord. 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 ‘daily walk with the Lord’ – Wouldn’t that be something wonderful to pass on to future generations?

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 ‘this’ and ‘that’ and how God helped move them pass the confusion and struggle into ‘His light of clarity’? 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’t the only one who struggles with a certain issue(s). We don’t like to be too very different than another and that is what you can leave for and to help your future loved ones.

Now because OLIN never wants to be just ‘average’ we have included with our prayer journal e-kit many other Christian helps and tools. Such as a printable tri-fold brochure called, ‘Find The Right Bible Passage’. 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’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 ‘household pin-up notes’. 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 ‘custom Christian index cards’, ‘prayer time notification cards’, and ‘I prayed for you today’ printable mini booklets to handout’. This is the bulk of the e-kit, it includes a few other tools and helps but I didn’t want this to get too long. You can get all the details about our ‘Prayer Journal e-kit with Christian Stationery’ here .

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’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’t already know how to.

I really hope I have answered all the questions, given enough idea’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, ‘It’s Almost a Christmas Miracle’, 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’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!

UNCOMMON Journaling is the key
to unlock YOUR dreams!

LORD, teach me what it means to seek Your Kingdom and Your righteousness first.

Randy, “whenever you lack clarity” as to what to say or do, get alone with Me, quiet your mind, read My Word, and write down what you hear. That is seeking My Kingdom and righteousness first. Confusion is never from Me. Connect to Me – I AM the Vine. Fruitfulness is My state of being. It will be yours too as long as you stay connected to Me.

Randy, I AM the source of breakthrough. Prayer and praise open the gateway to heaven. I have wanted you to spend much more time praying for hurting people like you used to. I AM bringing you back closer. Working harder is not the answer. It never has been. Abiding in Me always has. I love you with an everlasting love. I AM – I AM the God of the present – always here for you.

Pr 23:4-5 Do not overwork to be rich; Because of your own understanding, cease! Will you set your eyes on that which is not? For riches certainly make themselves wings; They fly away like an eagle toward heaven.

Joh 15:5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

Randy, thank you for pressing in. My love, My grace is sufficient. Peace be with you. My peace is with you. Rest in Me. Rest in Me! Get it – REST. I was never in a hurry. I don’t want you to be either.

Now Rest. Stop writing. Close your eyes. Picture being with Me at the Sea of Galilee. Just you and Me – friends.

Write Ben and Renato to ask for their forgiveness in making them feel like they couldn’t have access to you. Do I ever restrict access to Me? Of course not. So why should you do otherwise?

Randy, I want you to to start a class with Renato called “Words From Jesus!” Start in December. Let your friends and followers experience Me in a new way this Christmas.

Randy, let’s go for a walk around the lake. Do you see the mother with her little boy? She has nothing to give her son this Christmas, but you can reach out to help. Go talk to them. Listen to them. Bring them My peace, My hope. OK now tell them about Me. They can’t see Me yet, but you can. Tell them about Me. Tell them how much I love them. They need to know someone loves them.

UNCOMMON Journaling is the key
to unlock YOUR dreams!

“But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ For whatever is more than these is from the evil one. (Matthew 5:37)
 
How many times have you let a golden opportunity slip through your grasp?
How many times have you been unable to find something after a short delay?

 
Online journaling definitely helps you do a much better job at following through with your commitments as long as you take the time to review your journal entries regularly.

How often should you review your journal? My suggestion is once a week. on the same day each week. I personally prefer to review the past week and plan for the ucpoming week on Sunday mornings, my day of Sabbath rest. Reviewing my written daily goals from the prior week helps me notice commitments I made but failed to follow through with. This gives me a second chance by holding me accountable to some degree.

Letting your “Yes” be “Yes” and your “No,” “No” is extremely important. Every time you fail to honor your word, it takes away the power behind your spoken word. You lose credibility.

Like many of you, I have trouble saying “No.” As a result, I find myself over-committed. It’s easy to justify this wrong behavior by saying I’m meeting the needs of those around me. But God doesn’t ask or require us to meet everyone’s needs.

When you’re late for a meeting or appointment, even a few minutes late, that’s failing to keep your word. Often it’s easy to justify why that happens, but an excuse is just that – an excuse. Rarely are we late because of circumstances outside of our control.

When I journal using the “Yesterday…” method, I list both highlights and low points for each day. By reflecting on the low points, I notice character flaws in me that need prayer and work to overcome.

I have a few very simple gauges that let me know if I’m too busy. Being late is one of them. Another is not taking care of my body, the temple of the Holy Spirit. Failing to exercise at least 5 days per week is a bad sign. As I complete this book, I am being most convicted by this particular section. This is an area I must work hard at to improve at.

Completing my “UNCOMMON Journaling For Breakthroughs“ book has been like birthing a baby – a long and tedious process, albeit fun because I love to write and share. The many hours I have poured into this have crowded out other activities I would normally be engaged in.

Prayer Power
Abba Father, we praise You as a forever faithful God, the God who always follows through with Your commitments. Forgive me for my frequent sin of overcommitting. Teach me and guide me to let my “yes” be “yes” and my “no” be “no.” May today’s message inspire the readers and listeners You bring to journal to become much better in following through with their commitments. Thank You Jesus. I love You and greatly appreciate Your patience with me. Amen and hallelujah!

Blessings to journal to become much better following through with your commitments!

UNCOMMON Journaling is the key
to unlock YOUR dreams!

“but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.” (Acts 6:4)

How’s your prayer life? Are you too busy not to pray?

If prayer truly is the most powerful tool God has given us, then why do most people pray so little. I think it comes down to habits and a fast pace of life. Most people are too busy too pray. Others have never learned how to pray.

Prayer is a habit like journaling. If you journal regularly and include prayer as a routine part of that, you will pray and get better at it. I guarantee it. When you learn to apply the 4 keys to hearing God’s voice discussed later, your prayer time will become much richer.

That’s because you will be having intimate conversations, rather than monologues, with the Creator of the universe. You will come to know what it really means to abide in Him.

A few years ago I heard a frightening statistic that pastors in America spend an average of only three minutes each day praying. Yet, leaders must lead by example. Teaching about prayer is not the same as praying. Prayer doesn’t happen on the run.

I’ve seen first hand how difficult it is to get pastors from different congregations to pray together on a regular basis. Most pastors are too busy doing the ministry themselves instead of equipping the saints to do it.

During the 40 days of Lent in 2006, Pastor Randy Orndorff invited his congregation at the Culpeper United Methodist Church to participate in a seven week small group study titled “Too Busy Not To Pray.” I think about 100 people chose to participate. Virginia Morton, one of our Pray Culpeper team leaders, was one of them. The resulting spiritual growth and big answers to prayers have been very encouraging.

My connection to Virginia Morton and Pastor Randy led me to order the book and audio CD’s by Bill Hybels titled “Too Busy Not To Pray” in September 2006. I found Pastor Hybels’ teaching about prayer in his book to be fantastic.

As a result of reading and listening to Bill Hybels’ book, I wrote a series of daily devotional messages in a series titled “Too Busy Not To Pray” during October 2-18, 2006. In my message on October 3, I shared the following excerpts from Bill’s book:

“Prayer is an unnatural activity. It is an assault on human autonomy – an indictment of independent living. To people in the fast lane determined to make it on their own, prayer is an embarrassing interruption. Prayer is alien to our proud human nature. And yet somewhere, some place probably all of us reach the point where we fall on our knees, fix our attention on God, and pray.

Why are we drawn to prayer? 1) We pray because we understand that the most intimate communion with God comes only through prayer. 2) Prayer also helps us feel surrounded by God’s presence. As we grow in prayer, God reveals more of Himself, breathing more of His life into our spirits. Through prayer, God gives His peace that passes all understanding.

People are drawn to prayer because they know that God’s power flows primarily to people who pray. God’s power can change circumstances and relationships. It can help us face life’s daily struggles. It can heal psychological and physical problems, remove marriage obstructions, meet financial needs. In fact it can handle any kind of difficulty, dilemma, or discouragement.

The greatest fulfillment (thrill) in praying is the qualitative difference in your relationship with God. Through prayer, you can carry on substantial soul-searching conversations with God every day.”

On the morning of February 5, 2008 while “doing the dew,” the Holy Spirit led me to
listen again to the audiobook “Too Busy Not To Pray.” While doing that, I posted former
devotionals related to this topic into my blog for Your Daily Blessing. Here are some of
my favorite life lessons from those:

1. When man works, man works, but when man prays, God works!
2. Prayer is the key to unlocking God’s prevailing power in your life!
3. Our God is a giving God, a blessing God, a loving God!
4. God is capable of handling any problem we can bring Him. He is waiting for us to
   recognize His power and to ask Him.
5. God invites us to come into His presence!
6. The point of prayer is not to get what you want, but rather to receive what you need!
7. Without a carefully structured plan, we’re all likely to become imbalanced.
8. Faith comes from looking at God, not the mountain!
9. When the request is right, the timing is right, and you are right, God says “Go!”
10. The most common cause of unanswered prayer is prayerlessness.
11. For you to pray at all times is the will of God, not just a good idea!
12. The value of a contemplative life is character transformation.
13. Listening to God is like listening to anyone – before you can hear Him, you must be
    ready to listen!
14. Strength comes from solitude.
15. The Holy Spirt never contradicts the Word of God!
16. Prayer is a way to maintain constant communion with God.

Blessings to journal to build a strong prayer life!

UNCOMMON Journaling is the key
to unlock YOUR dreams!

Writing down your prayers helps you remember them. Then it’s much easier to recognize answers to prayer when they come. That builds faith. God teaches us that without faith it’s impossible to please God. Prayer and faith go hand-in-hand.

Prayer Power
Heavenly Father, we praise You as the God of HIStory. You told Your people in the Bible over and over to Remember!” One of the best ways to remember what You’ve done and to discern what You are doing is to journal. Bless my readers to comprehend the significance of journaling. May You bless my upcoming Journaling course to help participants grow in their faith. Thank You Jesus. Amen and hallelujah!

Blessings to journal to remember what God has done!

UNCOMMON Journaling is the key
to unlock YOUR dreams!

For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. (1 Corinthians 6:20)

What is God calling you to do?
What’s your excuse?

As a destiny coach, I hear many people share a myriad of excuses why they don’t follow God’s call on their life. They keep waiting for “someday” which never comes; it’s always today. And to be honest, I get tired of it. I’m choosing to move forward with people who have consecrated their lives to God – giving God their all. I acknowledge people who take decisive action.

The following message is an excerpt from p68 of the Maxwell Leadership Bible.

Most of us can list excuses why we don’t lead effectively, just as Moses did. When God called him, he instantly thought of five reasons why he couldn’t lead.

Excuse #1: Who am I? (Exodus 3:11)
Moses struggled with his identity. He just didn’t feel qualified. He felt God had picked the wrong leader.
God’s response: It doesn’t matter who you are. I am with you. (Ex 3:12)

Excuse #2: Who are You? (Exodus 3:13)
Moses felt a lack of intimacy. He didn’t know God well enough to describe Him to the people and lacked conviction concerning his relationship with god.
God’s response: “I AM WHO I AM.” (Exodus 3:14) I AM ever present. I AM everything you need.

Excuse #3: What if they don’t listen? (Exodus 4:1)
Moses felt intimidated. He worried about the people’s reaction to him.
God’s response: When I’m finished, they will listen. (Ex 4:2-9)

Excuse #4: I’ve never been a good speaker. (Ex 4:10)
Moses fretted about his inadequacies. Who would listen to him if he couldn’t even speak speak well?
God’s response: Guess who made your mouth? (Ex 4:11-12)

Excuse #5: I know you can find someone else. (Ex 4:13)
Moses felt inferior. He compared himself to others – even his brother – and decided that he came up short.
God’s response: OK, I will let Aaron go with you … but I’m still calling you to go (Ex 4:14)

Prayer Power
Heavenly Father, I praise you as the great I AM, not the great I WAS or the the great I WILL BE. You’re the God of the present and You’re all we need. I pray today’s message will stir people’s hearts to action. Bless them to be strong and of good courage to step into and retake the promised land for You and Your name’s sake. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen and hallelujah!

Blessings of the Day

1) WFJ: I will build your house!

2) Tempted to Give Up

3) Become A THOUGHT LEADER In Your Niche

Blessings to stop making excuses and do what God has called you to do!

What is the lead domino for YOUR life?

As mentioned in yesterday’s devotional, I have come to the conclusion that God wants me to coach people in groups of 15 and 1,000 to journal in UNCOMMON ways to experience breakthroughs and for LIFE Focus. Dr. Jerry Graham, my top mentor for the past year, has agreed to partner with me in this endeavor.

I’ve shared over and over that journaling is the lead domino for my life. This applies to all areas of my life. When I asked each of my web team members what is the lead domino for their lives, two of the three said journaling, even though that may not have manifested fully yet in their habits. Recently, I came to the realization that journaling may well be the lead domino for most people to experience breakthroughs in their own lives. Therefore, I am starting an entire series about journaling.

Before my “UNCOMMON Journaling for Breakthroughs” webinar yesterday, I prepared a PowerPoint presentation. That will serve as the basis for my upcoming devotionals. Here is the basic outline of what I cover in my introductory journaling webinar and what I’ll be covering in this series of journaling devotionals:

Why journal? (Benefits)
How do you journal? (Styles)
Why journal ONLINE? (Power)
History of Dr. Peck’s journaling
Demo of Dr. Peck’s journaling
Fruit of journaling
Testimonies
So What? Now What?

It’s amazing how when you take a step in the direction of your destiny, God takes 10 steps toward you. Today, Jeff Bernstein, founder of Gates of Zion, called me out-of-the-blue. He told me that he recently started journaling using outstanding software that he downloaded from the web. There’s a 45 day free demo if you are interested. To learn more, visit today’s Link of the Day.

I like what Bill Gates (Microsoft) says, “If we don’t act on a good idea within 24 hours, we are less than 50% likely to ever act on it. If we haven’t acted on it inside of days, then we are less than 2% likely to ever act on it.”

Prayer Power
Heavenly Father, we praise You as the God of HIStory. You told Your people in the Bible over and over to “Remember!” One of the best ways to remember what You’ve done and to discern what You are doing is to journal. Bless my readers to comprehend the significance of journaling. May many of them choose to learn more by participating in one of my upcoming webinars. May they refer their friends to do likewise. Thank You Jesus. Amen and hallelujah!
