New Breakthrough

Man..
I need a new breakthrough. Most things are stable in my life now. But I don't just want stable. I want prosperous living. Excellent Living. Going to pray and fast for it. Too Stable.. Too stagnant

I am seriously going to fast the kind of serious-fast-when-you-get-serious-with-God-and-then-you-fast kind of serious fasting. Fierce. Super fierce.

And as a matter of fact. This few verses are now surely but not too slowly becoming the conviction of my life

You lazy fool, look at an ant.
Watch it closely; let it teach you a thing or two.
Nobody has to tell it what to do.
All summer it stores up food;
at harvest it stockpiles provisions.
So how long are you going to laze around doing nothing?
How long before you get out of bed?
A nap here, a nap there, a day off here, a day off there,
sit back, take it easy—do you know what comes next?
Just this: You can look forward to a dirt-poor life,
poverty your permanent houseguest!
- Proverbs 6:6-11

Double fierceness...

"Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called sons of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

-Matthew 5:3-12

Triple Kill by God..


Yes the Sermon on the Mount.

We have so much information, first-class preaching, Great sermons. But what matters most is the application. Soap is everywhere, but it is useless if we keep them lying around. Yes, we do not change overnight. But it takes discipline.


Phil Pringle says:

The world lies at the feet of the disciplined.

Everyone dreams. But only the disciplined will accomplish theirs.

A dream without disciplines is the pathway to frustration, anger, and deep disappointment.

Even a dream from God has no guarantee it will come to pass.

Success of the dream demands discipline.

Start disciplined, stay disciplined, finish disciplined.

Disciplines are the way of life.

Morals, finances, attitudes, emotions, relationships, work, devotions; all require discipline to be healthy and successful.


Patricia Fripp says:
You do what you have to do, to do what you want to do.'

I am trying, really trying! Thats why I will be fasting more. =) Pray for me! Don't be too merciiful on me. Thx Kenneth! You reminded me! =)
