“Want Some Change?”

It is no secret that Creflo Dollar is one of my mentors in my head. I am a faithful listener of his program every single day. He has really been talking about the importance of Renewing your mind if you want to live a life full of righteousness and reap all the benefits that God wants his sheep to achieve. Here are 7 steps that a person can take in order to change their mindset, I have used Creflo’s list as a reference and added my own twist….

1. Make the decision to want to change.

2. You have got to have the Desire to want to change. No one can make YOU change but YOU!

3. Deepen your Awareness,Knowledge, and Understanding of the world around you. You are not the only important person in the world and watching “Bad Girls Club” is not deepening your knowledge….

4. Be Diligent, which means be Consistent in everything that you do, even if it means at a job that you can not stand, cause at the end, you are proving to God that you are worthy, not your Boss or Co-Workers.

5. Defend your mind from your old way of thinking. That is why you have to stay in the Word, make it a point to get in it everyday. Just like you would study for an exam, you have to study to keep your mind renewed.

6. Disassociate yourself with certain people that take you back to your old ways( That may include your cousin Ray Ray )

7. Depend on God! Depend on his word, his presence and ask for his help. Take your expectance out of people, for they will sure disappoint.

“The latest book I am reading”

So I have moved on to the next book. This one is also a must read! Here is an excerpt:

“Before you were born, God saw you, and He endowed you with gifts and talents uniquely designed for you.

If we are not moving toward our God-given destiny, tension and dissatisfaction will always exist in our inner being. It won’t go away with time; it will be there as long as you live.

I can’t think of anything more tragic than to come to the end of life on earth and realize that you have not really “lived,” that you have not become what God created you to be. You simply endured an average, mediocre life. You got by, but you lives without passion or enthusiasm, allowing your inner potential to lie dormant and untapped.”

- Joel Osteen’s “Become a better you”

“The Best Book I have read in Years!”

Wow! Anyone that knows me , knows that I wake up EVERY morning and listen to Creflo Dollar preach. It was only a matter of time before I would go pick up his book. I love to read and am usually reading more than one book at any given time. This book is by far my fave book that i have read in a minute. Here are some quotes that I can not help put share….

“Did you know there is something specific that God has for you to do?

“Nothing of Value will come into being in your life without hard work, persistence and a commitment to excellence in all that you do”

“Many people get caught up in what THEY want to do instead of finding out what GOD wants them to do. That’s why people waste years pursuing endeavors God hasn’t called them to undertake, and then get frustrated and blame him when things don’t work out”

Please go pick up this book, I promise it will change your life. It has changed mine.
