<p>1. <i>Keeping a Journal</i>- One of the Three Treasures to Leave Behind by Jim Rohn<br />
(excerpted from his How to Use a Journal audio CD)</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">If you’re serious about becoming a wealthy, powerful, sophisticated, healthy, influential, cultured and unique individual, keep a journal.</span></strong> Don’t trust your memory. When you listen to something valuable, write it down. When you come across something important, write it down.</p>
<p>I used to take notes on pieces of paper and torn-off corners and backs of old envelopes. I wrote ideas on restaurant placemats. On long sheets, narrow sheets and little sheets and pieces of paper thrown in a drawer. Then I found out that the best way to organize those ideas is to keep a journal. I’ve been keeping these journals since the age of 25. The discipline makes up a valuable part of my learning, and the journals are a valuable part of my library.</p>
<p>I am a buyer of blank books. Kids find it interesting that I would buy a blank book. They say, &#8220;Twenty-six dollars for a blank book! Why would you pay that?&#8221; The reason I pay 26 dollars is to challenge myself to find something worth 26 dollars to put in there. <strong>All my journals are private</strong>, but if you ever got a hold of one of them, you wouldn’t have to look very far to discover it is worth more than 26 dollars.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #993366;">I must admit, if you got a glimpse of my journals, you’d have to say that I am a serious student. I’m not just committed to my craft; I’m committed to life, committed to learning new concepts and skills. I want to see what I can do with seed, soil, sunshine and rain to turn them into the building blocks of a productive life.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #008000;"><u>Keeping a journal</u> is so important. I call it one of the three treasures to leave behind for the next generation.</span></strong> In fact, future generations will find these three treasures far more valuable than your furniture.</p>
<p><strong>The first treasure is your pictures. Take a lot of pictures.</strong> Don’t be lazy in capturing the event. How long does it take to capture the event? A fraction of a second. How long does it take to miss the event? A fraction of a second. So don’t miss the pictures. When you’re gone, they’ll keep the memories alive.</p>
<p><strong>The second treasure is your library. This is the library that taught you, that instructed you, that helped you defend your ideals.</strong> It helped you develop a philosophy. It helped you become wealthy, powerful, healthy, sophisticated and unique. It may have helped you conquer some disease. It may have helped you conquer poverty. It may have caused you to walk away from the ghetto. Your library- the books that instructed you, fed your mind and fed your soul- is one of the greatest gifts you can leave behind.</p>
<p><strong>The third treasure is your journals</strong>: the ideas that you picked up, the information that you meticulously gathered. But of the three, journal writing is one of the greatest indications that you’re a serious student. Taking pictures, that is pretty easy. Buying a book at a bookstore, that’s pretty easy. It is a little more challenging to be a student of your own life, your own future, your own destiny. Take the time to keep notes and to keep a journal. You’ll be so glad you did. What a treasure to leave behind when you go. What a treasure to enjoy today!</p>

<p><strong>2. Vitamins for the Mind by Jim Rohn</strong></p>
<p>Happiness</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Learn how to be happy with what you have while you pursue all that you want.</span></strong></p>
<p>Happiness is not an accident. Nor is it something you wish for. Happiness is something you design.</p>
<p>How sad to see a father with money and no joy. The man studied economics, but never studied happiness.</p>
<p>The greatest source of unhappiness comes from inside.</p>
<p>Happiness is the art of learning how to get joy from your substance.</p>
<p>Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.</p>
<p>&#8220;Vitamins for the Mind&#8221; is a weekly sampling of original quotes on a specific topic taken from The Treasury of Quotes by Jim Rohn (TTOQ). TTOQ, a beautiful, burgundy hardbound book with gold-foil lettering, is a collection of over 365 quotes on 60 topics gathered from Jim&#8217;s personal journals, seminars and books spanning over 39 years. To order the TTOQ by Jim Rohn or Excerpts from TTOQ by Jim Rohn or Brian Tracy, please go to Jim Rohn&#8217;s Online Catalog.</p>
<p><strong>3. Your Dream Begins Today by Les Brown</strong></p>
<p>What will your life be like when you’ve achieved your most deeply held dreams? Let’s take a look at how you can start living your dreams this very day.</p>
<p>Do you have a dream, a vision of the life you wish to live?<br />
How specific is that dream?<br />
How clear is that vision?<br />
How do you intend to reach it?<br />
What obstacles stand in your way?<br />
Are your fears holding you back or are you using them to move you forward?</p>
<p>Your fears can actually lead you to success. Fear is an intense emotion. But that doesn’t mean it has to control you, or even stop you. Fear can prepare you and push you forward just as strongly as it can hold you back. Fear heightens your awareness and increases your physical strength. Fear brings your mind to sharp focus. With all that going for you, does it make sense to just run and hide? Of course not. Fear gets you in shape to take action!</p>
<p>Are you waiting for things to get better before moving ahead? If you’re serious about success, you need to start taking action today. If you’re waiting for things to be perfect, you’ll wait forever and nothing will ever get done.</p>
<p>The way to achieve is to bloom where you’re planted, to do what you can, where you are, with what you have. It’s easy to think up excuses for not taking action. &#8220;If only I had more hours in the day. If only I had a better job. If only I could meet the right person.&#8221; But excuses won’t bring you anything of value. You’ve got to change your &#8220;if only&#8221; into an &#8220;I will.&#8221; &#8220;I will make better use of my time. I will work on improving my career. I will create and nurture my relationships.&#8221;</p>
<p>Take a chance. Have faith in yourself. Your circumstances will improve when you make the effort to improve them. Start where you are right now. You have everything it takes to reach for whatever you desire. Stop wishing. Use your time, your energy, your thoughts and efforts to make it happen! You’ll be glad you did!</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #993366;">&#8220;You have to do more than you get paid for because that&#8217;s where the fortune is.&#8221; &#8211; Jim Rohn</span></strong></p>

<p>Yesterday I had one of the most bizarre days of my life, in a good sense.</p>
<p>Then this morning, I had a very powerful and humbling 2-way dialog with the LORD. In follow up to that, I posted a new message at Journal777 titled &#8220;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://journal777.com/youre-being-a-know-it-all-is-whats-getting-in-your-way/" target="blank">You’re being a know-it-all is what’s getting in your way!</a>&#8221;</p>
<p>For the past few years I&#8217;ve wanted to record the audio for my written Life Story, sharing what my life was like before I met Jesus, how I met Jesus, and what my life has been like since.</p>
<p>As a result of my 2-way journaling time this morning, I finally did that. And then I posted my Testimony (written and audio) on all my major blogs.</p>
<p>If interested in listening to or downloading my audio testimony, please see<br />

<p><span style="font-size: 21pt; color: #000000; line-height: 150%;"><strong>Twelve Great Reasons To Journal</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>When the &#8220;WHY&#8221; gets big enough, the &#8220;HOW&#8221; will work itself out.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your works</strong>; I muse on the work of Your hands. (Psalm 143:5)</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>What are your needs?<br />
What are your dreams?<br />
What is your DESTINY?</strong></span></p>
<p>Let&#8217;s talk first about why you should journal. What are the benefits for you? Unless you are convinced that journaling is going to make a big difference in your life, you are very likely to give up on this great habit before it&#8217;s firmly established. But when the &#8220;WHY&#8221; gets big enough, the &#8220;HOW&#8221; will work itself out.</p>
<p>Pastor Rick Warren, author of The Purpose Driven Life, says the purpose of the Bible is to change lives and the purpose of preaching is to change lives. The purpose of journaling is to change your life. It&#8217;s that simple.</p>
<p><span style="color: #993366;"><b>Here are twelve (12) great reasons to journal</b></span> that I discovered through my own extensive personal journaling experiences:</p>

<span style="color: #ff0000;">&#8220;We worship God both in Spirit and in Truth. Truth means that we have to know and be directed by the word of God in our worship.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">&#8220;But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.&#8221; (John 4:23)</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;">What is flowing in the Spirit?</span></p>
<p>This morning I was woken up suddenly knowing the LORD wanted to use me as His scribe to share several messages with the world. I heard Him say clearly, &#8220;<i>Let the Spirit flow</i>.&#8221; I started singing a song with those lyrics, not certain where it was coming from. After praying on my knees a few minutes and taking communion, I began journaling.</p>
<p>Very quickly, I was led to do a Google search using &#8220;<u>Let the Spirit flow</u>.&#8221; That led me to visit the #1 entry &#8211; &#8220;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://let-the-spirit-flow-concert-tours.com" target="_blank">Let the Spirit Flow Concert Tours</a>.&#8221;</p>
<p>I also came across a good article titled &#8220;Flowing in the Spirit.&#8221; You can read that below. [http://www.worshipworld.com/lite/flowing.htm]</p>
<p>From there I was led to go to Youtube and do a search using &#8220;Let the Spirit Flow,&#8221; which led me to this video:</p>
<p align="center"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1foutt39BxI&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1foutt39BxI&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed></object></p>
<p>This in turn led me to do another search using &#8220;Let the river flow&#8221; which led me to this video</p>
<p align="center"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/XyKLV8YN6wY&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/XyKLV8YN6wY&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed></object></p>
<p>Enjoy. Soak it in. Let the Spirit flow. Let the river flow.</p>
<p><strong>Prayer Power<br />
<span style="color: #ff6600;">Most gracious and merciful heavenly Father, I thank You for the river of God that flows through me into other people&#8217;s lives. May those who read this message let your Spirit flow to be washed anew by You. May Your cleansing waters bring them life, hope, and happiness. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.</span></strong></p>

<p><strong>Flowing in the Spirit<br />
</strong>Although I believe I still don’t know enough about this to write a comprehensive article, I will gladly offer what I do know on a preliminary basis, and keep improving this article as I gain more experience. I thank Rev. James Cheong for valuable advice in the preparation of this article.<br />
You might want to read about an experience of &#8220;flowing in the spirit&#8221; that I had before.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p><strong>What is flowing in the Spirit?</strong><br />
Generally defined, it means recognizing that God wants to use the worship to minister to the worshippers and being sensitive to the guidance of the Spirit to facilitate that. The broad definition implies that a worship leader, music team or congregation can be &#8220;flowing in the Spirit&#8221; throughout the entire worship &#8211; in fact, throughout the entire service. A narrower definition postulates that there is a specific time during the worship which the presence of the Spirit is especially strong and that is when God chooses to minister to his Body. Both are correct, though for the rest of this article I will use the narrower definition.</p>
<p><strong>When does it occur?<br />
</strong>It can occur anytime, though usually it may occur during the &#8220;intimate worship&#8221; (inner courts) portion of a worship. That’s the part of the worship when the worshippers are most sensitive to God. And it can occur in both small group or large group worship.</p>
<p><strong>Can it be planned?</strong><br />
Yes and no. On one hand God cannot be made to do a &#8220;guest appearance&#8221; as one pleases. Planning the whole worship second by second will not be conducive to flowing in the Spirit. On the other hand, if during the planning for the worship, the leader remains sensitive to God’s will, it’s conceivable that he may have been guided to lead a worship conducive to flowing in the Spirit.</p>
<p><strong>How important is the leader for &#8220;flowing in the spirit&#8221;?</strong><br />
Quite important. He is God’s chosen instrument to help lead the worshippers into God&#8217;s presence. God uses the worship leader to guide the worship during the flowing of the spirit. Whether in deciding to sing a chorus another time, to pause for prayer or ministry, to break into spontaneous song, to speak ministering words, or to have a silent moment of enjoying God’s presence, the worship leader plays the key role in discerning the timing.</p>
<p><strong>Does one have to be an experienced worship leader?</strong><br />
No. God can use anyone; I speak from experience as a young worship leader. The only fallacy young worship leaders tend to believe is that they can &#8220;plan&#8221; for flowing in the Spirit to occur. It cannot be planned.</p>
<p><strong>Does one need to have a mature congregation for flowing in the spirit to occur?<br />
</strong>No; again, I speak from experience. No denomination is excluded per se either. But you do need worshippers who are sincere and who are expecting to meet God in the worship.</p>
<p><strong>What is the good of flowing in the Spirit?</strong><br />
It is not a cool worship technique. It is a practical example of recognizing the Lordship of Christ in all of our worship and church activities. It is the discipline and stewardship of giving time to the Spirit to use it as He wants it to be used in the worship. It always gives adequate time for us as worshippers to feel the Father’s love and respond to it, worshipping &#8220;in spirit and in truth&#8221;.</p>
<p><strong>How do I know if or when I should allow &#8220;flowing in the spirit&#8221;?</strong><br />
As a leader, you should be sensitive to God’s guidance throughout the worship. If you suddenly feel that something in your spirit is prompting you to say something or sing something or do something particular, and you get this sense that you know it is from God, then that is the exact time.</p>
<p><strong>How do I know whether what I feel prompted to do is really from God?</strong><br />
The more mature you are as a child of God, the more sensitive you will be to God’s will. Generally anything that contradicts Biblical principles is not from God. As you practise doing God’s will, you will know more and more what is really from God and what is not.</p>
<p><strong>What should I do when I feel prompted to let the Spirit flow?</strong><br />
Your human intellect may have a tendency to say all kinds of things and start waxing philosophical. Don’t. Say only what you feel is from your spirit and what is absolutely necessary. &#8220;Get out of the way&#8221; – it’s usually the time for the whole congregation to express their feelings freely. Continue as long as you feel God is directing you; end when you feel directed to end.</p>
<p><strong>Does flowing in the Spirit imply a suspension of the intellect?<br />
</strong>No. We worship God both in Spirit and in Truth. Truth means that we have to know and be directed by the word of God in our worship. Therefore it is Biblically incorrect to worship God without the use of our mental faculty. Suspension of the intellect often implies extremist views emphasizing the ecstatic and mystical nature of worship eg. trances, hysteria, rolling on the ground while shouting and screaming, etc. Flowing in the Spirit should involve both our spirit and intellect (the total inner man) responding to God&#8217;s guidance and leading in the worship.</p>
<p><strong>Anything I should avoid, so that flowing in the Spirit will not be hindered?</strong><br />
As I mentioned above; talking too much out of our human intellect; planning a rigid worship schedule; expecting God to flow at such and such a time, singing such and such a song. Don’t think that chucking some &#8220;power songs&#8221; into your worship will make the Spirit flow either. There is one more thing, which, having heard of but never experienced, I find hard to explain. I will state it as &#8220;drifting into heaven and leaving your worshippers behind on earth&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>I have included some illustrative examples of &#8220;spontaneous song&#8221;, one aspect of &#8220;flowing in the Spirit&#8221;. Neither imply each other, but they are often associated.

3:10 am MT (Park City, UT) = 5:10 am EST</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Randy, write the vision down! You asked me what your $15,000 BIG TICKET offer is to be. I’m giving that to you now. It’s very simple. You see, to see the BIG PICTURE, you have to stop cutting down trees, step back, and see the whole forest. Then you must stay there continually. Begin with the end in mind. To develop STRATEGIC ALLIANCES, you must remain a big picture guy. Delegate away everything that someone else can do. I have blessed you to be a visionary for visionaries. Your target audience is My visionaries, people with large networks, and those with global visions (people who want to impact the world for Me). Period. Don’t focus on others.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Randy, <span style="color: #008000;"><strong>the name of your BIG TICKET retreat (offer) is &#8220;Achieve A 30-60-100 Fold Increase In One Year (12 Months).&#8221;</strong> </span>For anyone to do this, including you, he must begin with the end in mind. <strong>Live your dream lifestyle now and work backwards to how I will support that. Randy, eliminate all appointments on M, W, and F. Don’t check emails on those days.</strong> When people learn they must wait to have access to you, they will value your time. Start planning date weekends with Julia. You have the RCI options. <strong><span style="color: #008000;">Your intimacy with Julia will improve dramatically when you follow the 4 P’s of giving (your time) in the book &#8220;Fields of Gold&#8221; &#8211; Priority giving, Percentage giving, Progressive giving, and Prompted giving. You see, these principles apply to all areas of life, not just money.</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Randy, you asked Me to give you the slides (messages) for your 3 minute PP for your $15,000 offer. I’m going to give that to you now.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>I want you to start writing down the names of people who will want to come to your $15,000/person retreat.</strong></span> &#8211; [names are begin kept confidential on this blog]</p>
