“Other seeds fell among the thorns (weeds), so when the
seeds sprouted so did the thorns, crowding out the young
plants so that they could produce no grain.” Mark 4:7
“And the seed sown among thorns represents those who hear
the Word, but they allow the cares of this life and the
seduction of wealth and the desires for other things to crowd
out and choke the Word so that it produces nothing.” Mark
4:17-18
Once again, like the rocky soil, we see good intentions. The
desire to do the will of God, to apply His Word to our lives, to
fulfill His will for us is at the forefront. Let’s do this!
Oh, the initial joy! As we begin to make progress, other
situations begin to show up: Weeds and thorns.
My family has bought and sold several homes over the years.
It never seems to fail that weeds appear out of nowhere in
the front, back and side yards. We work to pull them out and
lo and behold, they just grow back....

“Other seeds fell onto gravel with no topsoil and the seeds
quickly sprouted since the soil had no depth. But when the
days grew hot, the sprouts were scorched and withered
because they had insufficient roots.” Mark 4:5
Another translation says, “who, when they have heard the
Word, immediately receive it with gladness and have no root
in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward when
affliction or persecution arises for the word’s sake,
immediately they are offended.” (KJV)
Many people get all excited upon hearing a good message or
when God speaks to them. WOW! This is fantastic. They
eagerly set out to act on what they heard.
In the process of applying corresponding actions to bring the
desired outcome to pass, life happens. Other wounds,
encountered in the past, long ago buried are revealed. New
wounds are made....

Decision to Change

... "Making a decision is like having a plumb line. That decision
becomes the measuring tool for all the other choices we’ll
make going forward.If we do what we have always done, we end up with what
we’ve always had. Change is usually uncomfortable. Change
is required to level up.It starts in our soul, made up of our will where we make
decisions, our mind where we process and reason, and our
emotions where we experience our feelings.• New decisions will always encounter resistance.
• New decisions will always be tested to stay the course.
• New decisions will always experience nay-sayers.Our physical muscles grow in strength and ability in the same
ways. For example, as we apply resistance by lifting weights
the muscle groans for you to stop, ease up, take it slower.
If we stop, we will lose muscle mass and become weaker.ÂSo, we choose to keep aligning to our plumb line decision to

"It’s easy to say, “Be unstoppable.”
You don’t know until you face the giants in the land.
Do you see obstacles as insurmountable giants or as
grasshoppers? Numbers 13:33
Life has only two paths: Stoppable and Unstoppable.
Which will you choose?
This book is written for believers:
• to see giants as grasshoppers.
• to find courage to forge ahead.
• at the crossroads of life looking for GPS coordinates to
be unstoppable.
Did you know only three things can defeat you?
This book looks them right in the face and says, “Get behind
me, satan! You are an offense to Me, because your thoughts
are only filled with man’s viewpoints and not with the ways of
God.” Matthew 16:23...
In my lifetime, I’ve had many amazing victorious miracles and
breakthroughs. I’ve also encountered many of the trials and
tribulations written in the first paragraph of this chapter.
I’m sure you could say the same about your life. No one is
exempt from the ups and downs here on earth.
Worry vs Faith
Worry Versus Faith
Â
Philippians 4:4-9 (TPT)Be cheerful with joyous celebration in every season of life. Let joy overflow, for you are united with the Anointed One! Let gentleness be seen in every relationship, for our Lord is ever near.ÂDon’t be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. Be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering your faith-filled requests before God with overflowing gratitude. Tell him every detail of your life, then God’s wonderful peace that transcends human understanding, will make the answers known to you through Jesus Christ.ÂÂSo keep your thoughts continually fixed on all that is authentic and real, honorable and admirable, beautiful and respectful, pure and holy, merciful and kind. And fasten your thoughts on every glorious work of God, praising him always. Follow the example of all that we have imparted to you and the God of peace will be with you in all things.Â

A Song of WisdomÂ
(The Passion Translation)
37Â Poetic praise, by King David
1 Don’t follow after the wicked ones or be jealous of their wealth. Don’t think for a moment they’re better off than you.
2 They and their short-lived success will soon shrivel up and quickly fade away like grass clippings in the hot sun.
3 Keep trusting in the Lord and do what is right in his eyes. Fix your heart on the promises of God and you will be secure, feasting on his faithfulness.
4 Make God the utmost delight and pleasure of your life, and he will provide for you what you desire the most.
5 Give God the right to direct your life, and as you trust him along the way you’ll find he pulled it off perfectly!
6 He will appear as your righteousness, as sure as the dawning of a new day. He will manifest as your justice, as sure and strong as the noonday sun.
7Â Quiet your heart in his presence and pray;Â keep hope alive as you long for God to come th...
Overcoming Unhealthy Habits - REST
Overcoming Unhealthy Habits
 Hear and obey Jesus today. REST.
"There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His. Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience."Hebrews 4:9-11ÂThe entire chapter of Hebrews 4 is about rest. REST is vital! Since I can remember, there has been this view point that rest equals unproductive laziness. It was enforced during school through academics and sports, into college and then my working career.ÂIt became amplified in my life personally when I entered full time ministry. There was a drive to "show your worth" and justify your income by going above and beyond. The result was my marriage suffered, my children suffered, my walk with Jesus suffered and I lost who I was, spirit, soul and body. It was a nasty, unhealthy habit that has taken almost 7 years to overcome wi...
Overcoming Unhealthy Habits - Financial Well-being
Overcoming Unhealthy Habits
"The benefits are too amazing."
One devastating life habit concerns our financial health and well-being. It's easy to extend ourselves beyond our means in this world of easy pay and instant credit.ÂAn unhealthy financial life usually comes from a lack of self-control. Self-control is one of the fruit (evidences) of a Spirit-filled life; a life managed by the Lordship of Jesus rather than our flesh or carnal mind and emotions.ÂIn my lifetime of ministry walking with 1000's of people through various situations, one of the most devastating unhealthy life habits I've observed (next to lack of integrity) is in the area of personal finances. They often go and in hand. Fix one and the other begins to fall into line. How can we align ourselves to develop a healthy financial lifestyle?Â
- First things first. Be a tither. Pay God what He says belongs to Him. You may disagree with Him but this eternal truth always wins. Put God first, as so

...your word is you...you are your word
"Johnny, I want you to take the trash out now." "OK, mom, I will." Two hours later mom walks by the trash and it still sits there. "Johnny, I asked you two hours ago to take out the trash, get up and do it now." "OK, mom, I will in just a minute..." Two hours later...trash still hasn't been removed.Â"I'm going to get this job done for you in the next 24 hours." "Ok, that's great, as it's really important." Two days later, the job isn't done. The frustration compounds.Â"Tomorrow I'm going to start eating healthy," we say to ourselves. Two weeks later, oops, it never happened.Â"I'll be there at 2:00pm to pick you up." "Ok." "Where are you, it's 2:30pm?" "Oh, sorry, I was running late and then an important call came in and then traffic...I'm on my way."Â"I ordered this product but can I pay for it later?"

Overcoming Unhealthy Habits - Contentment
 Overcoming Unhealthy Habits
What’s the one thing none of your friends have? Enough.ÂWe are constantly seeking more and more stuff in our lives. Every day we wake up feeling like we have to achieve so much so that we can be considered efficient and productive. I wake up, butterflies in my stomach, anxious about what the day has in store for me.ÂWe need to remind ourselves of what Paul said:I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. Philippians 4:11Â
