James 1:5-8
"Let him ask in faith..."
God is a good God who wants to give us the things we ask in faith.
V8
The double-minded man will not be able to receive the things he prayed for.
Success is not restricted to those who are lucky.
To get to where I want to go in life, I must start where I am.
No one who is born again becomes a spiritual giant today.
All change begins with a decision - its a mindset - & out of a decision comes dedication and committment.

The greatest enemy of our life is ambivalence. It can turn a vision & a dream into a nightmare.
Definition:
  • Simultaneously & contradictory attitudes or feelings towards an object/ person/ action
  • Continual fluctuation
  • Uncertainity as to which approach to follow

James 4:17

James 1:7-8

Psalms 119:113

"I hate the double-minded"

What causes us to be indecisive: Procrastination

  • We need to defeat this to get to where we want to be
  • Story of the 3 demons who want to convince Christians that there is no God: They decided that the best way was to tell them that there is no hurry to do anything whatsoever
  • Goal setting in Health, Ability, Relationship, Vision, Emotional life, Spiritual life, Thought life (HARVEST)
  • We procrastinate because we are afraid of change, of failure, and because we have not planned for the future

How do we combat Procrastination?

  • Activate your planner
  • Breakdown large tasks into smaller steps & focus on getting them done on time
  • Create deadlines
  • Deal with the mess - clutter kills productivity
  • Encourage yourself - "I can", "I will"
  • Face your fears - Do the hardest task first
  • Goals are reviewed daily
  • Hang on, don't give up - treat failure as an opportunity to do better
  • Initiate now - Ecc 11:14 If you wait for perfect conditions, you will never get anything done

Money doesn't grow on trees but money behaves like a tree.

Bible:

  • Saving money - planting seed in the ground
  • Spending money - throwing away the seed

Job 8:7

Don't despise the days of small beginnings!

Saving means:

  • Spending less
  • Putting asside a store or reserve (accumulation of wealth)

Judges 13:24

"Mahaneh Dan" - Place of decision

Is between:

"Zorah" - A hornet's sting

"Eshtaol" - A place to inquire of God, to seek the face of God

Judges 14:1

At Mahaneh Dan, Samson did not choose Eshtaol. This created a pattern of doing things wrong all the time

Judges 16:1, 4, 20, 25, 31

He was brought back to where he started because he never made the right choice.
