<p>1. Keeping a Journal- 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;">Keeping a journal 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>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>&#8220;To learn a skill, I often look &#8211; not for the best in the world &#8211; but for people who’ve made the greatest progress in the shortest period of time.&#8221;</strong> &#8211; Tim Ferriss</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>&#8220;Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.&#8221;</strong> (Matthew 11:28)</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>What one new habit will you focus on in January 2010 to set the stage for the most fruitful year and decade of your life?</strong></span></p>
<p>I want to start off this new year and new decade by sharing with YOU one of the most profound messages about habits I have ever come across.</p>
<p>In his book &#8220;The Greatest Salesman in the World,&#8221; Og Mandino wrote &#8220;Good habits are the key to all success!&#8221; Dr. Mike Murdock, founder of the Wisdom Center, writes &#8220;Successful people do daily what unsuccessful people do occasionally!&#8221;</p>
<p>Dr. Jerry Falwell was known as a man of &#8220;Every day&#8221; &#8211; living out daily habits that bore much fruit. One of Dr. John Maxwell&#8217;s latest books is titled &#8220;Make Today Count: The Secret of Your Success Is Determined by Your Daily Agenda.&#8221;</p>
<p>Do you get it? Good habits are the key to YOUR success. But how do you go about establishing good habits?</p>
<p>I believe in Chapter 5 of his book &#8220;The Power of Less,&#8221; Leo Babauta shares one of the simplest and most powerful answers. Here is what Leo writes:</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #008000;">&#8220;The only way you’ll form long-lasting habits is by applying the Power of Less: focus on one habit at a time, one month at a time, so that you’ll be able to focus all your energy on creating that one habit.&#8221;</span></strong></p>
<p><strong>Leo then recommends a 30-DAY CHALLENGE. Here&#8217;s how it works:</strong></p>
<p>1. Select one habit for the Challenge. Only one habit per month. You can choose any habit &#8211; whatever you think will have the biggest impact on your life.</p>
<p>2. Write down your plan. You will need to specifically state what your goal will be each day, when you’ll do it, what your “trigger” will be (the event that will immediately precede the habit that’s already a part of your routine &#8211; such as exercising right after you brush your teeth), who you will report to (see below).</p>
<p>3. Post your goal publicly. Tell as many people as possible that you are trying to form your new habit. I suggest an online forum, but you could email it to coworkers and family and friends or otherwise get the word out to a large group.</p>
<p>4. Report on your progress daily. Each day, tell the same group of people whether or not you succeeded at your goal.</p>
<p><strong>THE RULES</strong></p>
<p>There are only a few rules you need to follow to make this Challenge a success. If you follow these rules, it would be hard for you not to form a new habit by the end of the 30 days.</p>
<p>Do only one habit at a time. Do not break this rule, because I assure you that if you do multiple habits at once, you will be much less likely to succeed. Trust me &#8211; I’ve tried both ways many times, and in my experience there is 100% failure for forming multiple habits at once, and a 50-80% success if you do just one habit at a time &#8211; depending on whether you follow the rest of these rules.</p>
<p>Choose an easy goal. Don’t decide to do something really hard, at least for now. Later, when you’re good at habit changes, you can choose something harder. But for now, do something you know you can do every day. In fact, choose something easier than you think you can do every day. If you think you can exercise for 30 minutes a day, choose 10 minutes &#8211; making it super easy is one of the surest ways to ensure you’ll succeed.</p>
<p>Choose something measurable. You should be able to say, definitively, whether you were successful or not today. If you choose exercise, set a number of minutes or something similar (20 minutes of exercise daily, for example). Whatever your goal, have a measurement.</p>
<p>Be consistent. You want to do your habit change at the same time every day, if possible. If you’re going to exercise, do it at 7 a.m. (or 6 p.m.) every day, for example. This makes it more likely to become a habit.</p>
<p>Report daily. You could check in every 2 or 3 days, but you’ll be more likely to succeed if you report daily. This has been proven over and over again in the Challenges.</p>
<p>Keep a positive attitude! Expect setbacks now and then, but just note them and move on. No embarrassment in this challenge.</p>
<p><strong>MY HABIT TO FOCUS ON IN JANUARY 2010</strong></p>
<p>Here is what Jesus told me during my 2-way journaling time today:</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><span style="color: #008000;">Randy, the habit I want you to focus on in January is Journaling using &#8220;Yesterday&#8230; and Prayer Power&#8221; and &#8220;3 MIT&#8217;s (Most Important Tasks).&#8221;</span> Every day I want you to take at least one action step toward your annual goal of selling one million copies of UNCOMMON Journaling for Breakthroughs.</strong> As Seth said, set a goal of selling 500 copies of UJFB in January. You can take a step toward that goal today by writing a YDB devotional about habits today. Start now. Share what I have placed on your heart. Call it The Power of Less.</span></p>
<p><strong>Prayer Power<br />
<span style="color: #ff6600;">Heavenly Father, thank You for working in my life to reveal the secret of establishing powerful new habits &#8211; focusing on only one each month. Touch the hearts of those who read and listen to this message to take the 30-Day challenge and apply this very important life lesson. Speak to each one of them as to what one habit You want them to focus on during the next 30 days. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen and Hallelujah!</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #993366;">Blessings for godly discernment about one new habit to focus on during the next 30 days!</span></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">For many years my wife and I have used the last day of the year for a spiritual exercise that has been a guiding light for our lives, and each year we like to repeat this as sort of a ritual, whether we are alone or with friends on New Year’s Eve! &#8211; Renato Amato</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">&#8220;And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine bursts the wineskins, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But <strong>new wine must be put into new wineskins</strong>.&#8221; (Mark 2:22)</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #008000;">Seven years from now, what will you have to show for what you&#8217;re doing right now? &#8211; Seth Godin</span></strong></p>
<p>Wow! What a year. So much different than Julia and I anticipated. In some areas, we accomplished much more than expected, while in other areas we fell far short of our goals. I expect that&#8217;s probably true of you too. It&#8217;s great to know that man makes his plans but God directs his steps. (Proverbs 16:9)</p>
<p>December is typically my favorite month of the year for a variety of reasons. First of all, I love the Christmas season with love, joy, and peace abounding. December is also a great time to reflect on the previous year and to begin planning for the new year.</p>
<p>This morning, I read Renato Amato&#8217;s blog post titled &#8220;<a href="http://renatoamato.com/en/ref-new-years-eve-ceremony/" target="_blank">REF: New Year’s Eve Ceremony</a>.&#8221; This may be my favorite year-end message ever. Getting connected to Renato and Patrizia and helping them establish a powerful online presence was certainly one of my highlights for the year.</p>
<p>In his year-end devotional, Renato talks about reflecting on 3 areas of our life at year-end, namely 1) our work, 2) our relationships with family and friends, and 3) our personal life, including our physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. So, that&#8217;s the approach we&#8217;ll take here in sharing.</p>
<p><strong>1) OUR WORK (MINISTRY)</strong></p>
<p>Julia and I are both thankful that her coffee business, <a title="World Bean Roasthers" href="http://www.worldbeanroasthers.com" target="_blank">World Bean Roasthers</a>, is growing steadily. The WBR slogan &#8211; &#8220;building relationships one beat at a time&#8221; &#8211; fits Julia perfectly since she is all about relationships and is a bright light nearly everywhere she goes. WBR now has several hundred Facebook fans.</p>
<p>Julia has been teaching about 4 kickboxing classes each week at Gold&#8217;s Gym. Once again, she has built up a Facebook following for that.</p>
<p>Since my life purpose is to be a great salesman for the Word of God and my assignment is to power network God&#8217;s army, that&#8217;s how I measure my success in ministry. This year, the LORD blessed Jerry Graham and me to publish two books and launch three new online courses.</p>
<p>In early 2009, Jerry Graham and I co-hosted our first 12-week &#8220;Experiencing God Through Journaling&#8221; webinar series. We saw lots of fruit from that, including personal and strong connections to Lynne Lee (U.K.) and Renato and Patrizia Amato (Italy). They are my favorite new contacts of 2009. See &#8220;<a href="http://wordsfromjesus.net/wfj-the-spiritual-triangle-between-virginia-the-u-k-and-italy/" target="_blank">#WFJ: The Spiritual Triangle Between Virginia, the U.K. And Italy</a>.&#8221;</p>
<p>On March 3, 2009, I officially published and marketed my very first e-book, UNCOMMON Journaling For Breakthroughs. Every week, about 5-10 new people from around the globe download the Introduction to that book. That should increase considerably after a press release in early January.</p>
<p>During February and March, Jerry and Sharon Graham and I recorded 7 Wellness webinars, had those transcribed, and published another e-book called &#8220;UNCOMMON Wellness Coaching.&#8221; Then starting in June, the three of us coached seven people through our inaugural, 7-week online &#8220;UNCOMMON Wellness Coaching&#8221; course.</p>
<p>In the second half of 2009, Jerry Graham and I taught and coached a total of 18 people through two 8-week ProsperNow777 (Web 2.0) courses. We are seeing lots of lives touched by those who are blogging consistently (at least 3 days per week). For example, in December 2009, Renato Amato had 18,064 page views to his blog (<a href="http://renatoamato.com" target="_blank">www.renatoamato.com</a>), Nancy Slocum had 13,599 (<a href="http://nancy777.com" target="_blank">www.nancy777.com</a>), and Bertha Hinson had 10, 158 (<a href="http://HisGateway.com" target="_blank">HisGateway.com</a>). Our next 8-week PN777 course (limited to 12 people) begins Tues Jan 12. If interested, please see <a href="http://prospernow777.com/ministry/yes" target="_blank">www.prospernow777.com/ministry/yes</a></p>
<p>Jerry and I are very thankful to now understand how to help people establish a powerful online presence to share their stories, products, and services with the world. During a webinar I hosted in October 2008, Denise Wakeman with the Blog Squad said, &#8220;<span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>If you don&#8217;t have time to blog at least 2-3 days per week, you don&#8217;t have time for your business (ministry)!</strong></span>&#8221; After blogging consistently for more than a year, I agree with her.</p>
<p>In the latter third of this year, I focused more on posting to my Journaling blog than to Your Daily Blessing. All my main blogs are showing steady growth . For example, the number of Page Views in December was 17,758 for <a href="http://journal777.com" target="_blank">Journal777.com</a>, 14,967 for <a href="http://yourdailyblessing.com" target="_blank">Yourdailyblessing.com</a>, and 14,358 for <a href="http://webinars777.com" target="_blank">Webinars777.com</a>. Combined, those 3 blogs alone result in about 1,500 page views per day and about 348 visitors per day. That&#8217;s amazing &#8211; better than most churches. There truly is a new way of doing business (and ministry) and it&#8217;s Web 2.0.</p>
<p>In June and November, two people sowed $14,400 (12 x $1,200) miracle seeds into Empower 2000 (my company) and God&#8217;s billion soul vision. Thank you. You know who you are. One of those seeds helped Team Destiny get the ProsperNow777 course off the ground. So far, 3 of 12 UNCOMMON $14,400 miracle seeds that will be allowed to be sown have been sown. To learn more, see &#8220;<a href="http://wordsfromjesus.net/wfj-the-144000-miracles/" target="_blank">#WFJ: The $14,4000 Miracles</a>&#8221;</p>
<p>On Dec 1, Jerry and I launched a brand new 4-week online course called &#8220;UNCOMMON Stewardship: How To Steward Your Time, Talent, Treasure, and Temple Through Journaling.&#8221; This course may turn out to be my favorite ever. Our next course starts Jan 11 and is limited to 12 people. If interested, please see <a href="http://steward777.com" target="_blank">www.steward777.com</a>.</p>
<p>On December 5, Team Destiny launched the &#8220;<a href="http://wordsfromjesus.net/wfj-words-from-jesus-global-movement-launched/" target="_blank">Words From Jesus</a>&#8221; global movement, a God-sized vision to teach people around the world how to hear God&#8217;s voice.</p>
<p><strong>2) OUR RELATIONSHIPS with family and friends</strong></p>
<p>In May, our son Robbie graduated with distinction from the School of Engineering at the University of Virginia. He began working full-time for Accenture about one month later. We&#8217;re so thankful that both of our children have good jobs during these challenging economic times.</p>
<p>Julia and I were blessed to be able to go on three wonderful vacations together. We went on our first-ever trip to Arizona and the Grand Canyon in June with the Webb, Smith, and Pittman families. In late September, we went to Utah for Julia to compete in the Xterra National Triathlon Championship. In late October, we went to Maui Hawaii for Julia to compete in the Xterra National Triathlon Championship. This was my first trip ever to Hawaii. Two friends from Culpeper joined us.</p>
<p>Julia and I had numerous occasions to visit both sides of the family during 2009. It&#8217;s so nice have our closest family members within a 60-80 minute drive.</p>
<p>I participated in the weekly Marching Through Culpeper prayer calls for much of 2009. The group of us who participate regularly in those calls have grown quite close.</p>
<p>For most of the year, I also participated in a biweekly Coaches Mastermind Group. In the latter part of 2009, our group grew to as many as 7 certified life coaches. That&#8217;s good company to be in.</p>
<p>On Christmas Eve, Julia and I officially adopted a new baby girl &#8211; a chocolate lab (puppy) given as a gift from Caren and Robbie (our two grown children).</p>
<p><strong>3) OUR PERSONAL LIVES &#8211; physical, mental, and spiritual well-being</strong></p>
<p>Physically, Julia seems to be in better shape than for at least the past several years. And that&#8217;s saying a lot &#8211; because she&#8217;s always been in good shape. I&#8217;m doing OK, exercising 2-3 days per week on average. However, in 2010 I plan to be more consistent in this area by saying &#8220;no&#8221; to more projects and tasks that require my time and &#8220;yes&#8221; to opportunities to delegate. Julia and I are both eating healthier, thanks to the Wellness coaching received from Sharon Graham.</p>
<p>Mentally, Julia and I both remain in grow mode. Julia seems to glean more from talking to people and Internet sites, whereas I also read about 50-100 new books each year.</p>
<p>Spiritually, both of us grew a lot. I continue to read and/or listen to the Bible nearly every day as well as to journal several hours daily. It seems God has never stopped answering my prayer for more humility that I first prayed in 2005. Julia and I both still attend Soul Purpose Church, although the 25-30 minute drive each way makes it difficult to participate in many of the activities that take place during the week in Bealeton.</p>
<p><strong>Prayer Power<br />
<span style="color: #ff6600;">Most gracious and merciful heavenly Father, thank You for the precious gift of another year of life. Thank You for all the family and friends who have sown into our lives and for the opportunity to sow into many people&#8217;s lives ourselves. Thank You for this opportunity to reflect on some of the most important things that happened in 2009. May Your holy Word be a lamp unto our feet in 2010 to keep us on Your straight and narrow. We commit this new year and decade to You and ask You to be LORD of who we are, what we do, and what we accomplish. We pray for a special blessing on all those who have lost their jobs and/or their homes. In Jesus name, we pray. Amen and Hallelujah!</span></strong><span style="color: #ff6600;"> </span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #993366;">Blessings to start the new year and decade seeking the Kingdom of God and His righteousness first every day!</span></strong></p>

<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>&#8220;For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.&#8221; (John 3:16)</strong></span></p>
<p>Today was another historical day of taking  a stand  for the WFJ GLOBAL MOVEMENT.  Team destiny hosted their final of three WFJ (Words From Jesus) webinars in December  2009 called &#8220;The Miracle of Christmas.&#8221;</p>
<p>Dr. Randy Peck served as the global connector and host of this webinar. The guest panelists were: Deb Smith, Richard Mayhan,  Bertha Hinson, and me,  Nancy Slocum. <strong>Clearly the Holy Spirit  took control of the webinar before it ever started and never let go!</strong></p>
<p><strong>He began by waking me up at 3:22 AM to give me this prophetic word &#8211; WFJ: THE MIRACLE OF CHRISTMAS IS CHRIST! It was His way of orchestrating the whole focus for the discussion. These are the questions we covered:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>What is the Miracle of Christmas?</li>
<li>What is the significance of Isaiah 9:1-7?</li>
<li>How does someone come into the LIGHT of Jesus?</li>
<li>What can people do to experience their most special Christmas ever?</li>
<li>Prayer for an UNCOMMON Christmas blessing.</li>
</ol>
<p align="center"><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>WFJ: THE MIRACLE OF CHRISTMAS IS CHRIST!</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Take the tour of the Word and be free in Christ. <strong>CHRISTMAS IS A SEASON FOR MIRACLES BUT EVERY DAY IS A MIRACLE IN CHRIST!</strong> TO BE IN CHRIST IS THE GREATEST MIRACLE OF ALL.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>SALVATION IS THE GREATEST MIRACLE OF ALL.</strong> It is Gods free gift to all mankind. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him shall be saved (have eternal life).(John 3:16).</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">What is so miraculous is that <strong>SALVATION IS THE &#8220;GREAT EXCHANGE!&#8221;</strong> MAN GIVES GOD HIS IMPERFECT, BROKEN, SINFUL LIFE IN EXCHANGE FOR A PERFECT (COMPLETE) LIFE IN CHRIST. JESUS GIVES HIS ALL FOR OUR ALL!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">When you receive Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, the <strong>LIGHT OF THE WORLD &#8211; THE CANDLE OF MAN</strong>, comes into your heart to show you the most excellent way of all to live. IT IS THE WAY OF LOVE BECAUSE GOD IS LOVE.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">In this &#8220;GREAT EXCHANGE,&#8221; your old sinful man dies and the new man comes alive in Christ. <strong>CHRIST LIVES THROUGH YOU</strong> to live the perfect will of God which is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. (Romans 14:17).</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Unity of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is your inheritance as a born again child of God. <strong>IT IS A LIFE OF VICTORY AND TOTAL PROVISION</strong>. To be one with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is to be free from every bondage of sin and to be free to experience the fullness and abundance of life in Christ Jesus. <strong>JESUS IS THE DOOR TO FREEDOM AND TOTAL FULFILLMENT</strong>.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Jesus arms are open wide and <strong>ALL THAT BELONGS TO THE FATHER OF LIGHTS IS YOURS WHEN YOU SAY &#8220;YES&#8221; TO JESUS</strong> who is the express image and likeness of God, and His Kingdom of Love becomes yours!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">IT IS A SUPERNATURAL GIFT OF DIVINE INFUSION AND PROPORTION AND IS THE GREATEST MIRACLE OF ALL! Become one with the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. <strong>ALLOW THE PRINCE OF PEACE TO RULE IN YOUR HEART FOREVERMORE</strong>, for God set eternity in the heart of man. He loves YOU so much and nothing will ever separate YOU from His love.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>LET THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD LIGHT YOUR PATH AND BE A BEACON OF HOPE TO ALL MANKIND</strong>. THE KING OF GLORY HAS CHOSEN AND MADE A WAY TO TAKE UP RESIDENCE IN YOUR HEART AND BE YOUR KING AND PRINCE OF PEACE. SAY YES TO HIM AND THE KINGDOM IS YOURS!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.</strong> The Redeemer wants to take all of you in your imperfection and transform you into the likeness of Christ. <strong>RECEIVE THE GREATEST GIFT KNOWN TO MANKIND AND LIVE &#8220;THE GREAT ADVENTURE&#8221; IN CHRIST</strong>. NOTHING CAN COMPARE TO THIS INDECSRIBABLE GIFT OF PURE AND PERFECT LOVE. It is greater than anything you ever wanted for Christmas for it is the desire of your heart. <strong>RECEIVE GODS GIFT AND SPEND THE REST OF YOUR NATURAL LIFE AND ETERNITY UNWRAPPING JESUS</strong>, GODS GIFT OF HIMSELF WHO IS PERFECT LOVE. THERE IS NO END TO LOVE. REJOICE AND BE AT PEACE. <strong>IMMANUEL HAS COME!</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">RECEIVE ALL OF THE GREATEST MIRACLE WHO EVER WAS OR IS TO COME! Let Christ have free reign in your heart and become His walking talking miracle and witness to all mankind. Your light has come. <strong>BE GLORIFIED IN HIS ETERNAL PRESENCE.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>I LOVE YOU, MY CHILD. BE MADE WHOLE. ENTER THE JOY OF THE LORD. MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE PERFECT LOVER OF YOUR SOUL!</strong> BE SATISFIED IN ME. I AM YOUR FULFILLMENT AND HEARTS DESIRE. SHALOM.</span></p>
<p>Love in Jesus,</p>

<p><strong>Prayer Power</strong></p>
<p>If  you dont know Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, please say this prayer out loud from your heart and you shall be saved and come into God&#8217;s Kingdom of Love.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Father God, I believe in my heart that you sent your Son Jesus to die on the cross for me. I believe Jesus paid my sin debt in full. It was a debt I could not  repay and it was a debt Jesus did not owe. Thank You, Jesus. I accept your perfect gift and sacrifice. Come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior. Baptize me in the power of your Holy Spirit and I will serve you all the days of my life! I am saved! I am free! Thank you, in Jesus name. Amen.</strong></span></p>
<p>May you allow the God of all hope and the Prince of  Peace to rule in your heart this day and forevermore.  May this truly be your most significant Christmas  ever as the FULLNESS of the gift of God&#8217;s LOVE FOR YOU,  becomes  an everyday  reality in your life!</p>
<p><span style="color: #993366;"><strong>I BLESS YOU with the joy, laughter, and peace of God! I BLESS YOU with God&#8217;s amazing grace! I pray this in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.</strong></span></p>

<p><strong>God is on the move</strong> and doing amazing things in this earth! He continues to draw the body of Christ together in unity for His purposes. People may not be aware of all or see all that the Lord is doing but <strong>He truly is &#8220;CONNECTING THE DOTS&#8221;.</strong></p>
<p><strong>THE MOMENTUM OF THE WFJ GLOBAL MOVEMENT IS BUILDING UP SPEED.</strong> The dam is about to break free and there will be undeniable evidence of Gods hand moving on His People. <strong>THE YOUTH WILL PLAY A BIG PART IN THE AWAKENING THAT WILL COME FORTH!</strong></p>
<p>Upon awakening this morning I received a WFJ (Word From Jesus). It was just in time and so appropriate for the second webinar of three taking place at 8AM today. <strong>Dr. Randy Peck was hosting the Words From Jesus: How To Hear God&#8217;s Voice Webinar. Today&#8217;s topic was &#8220;The $14,400 Miracles!&#8221;</strong> The guest panelists were Doug Barclay, Bob Sims, and Bertha Hinson. <span style="color: #006600;"><strong>During this life-changing, world changing webinar, they shared what Dr. Peck considered to be their BIGGEST GOD STORY FOR THE PAST SEVEN YEARS!</strong></span></p>
<p>Without knowing what was going to be said today, this is what Jesus spoke to my heart. Its so amazing how <strong>He is always right on time and right on target!</strong></p>
<p align="center"><strong></strong><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">WFJ: SEEDTIME AND HARVEST</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Now is the time of seedtime and harvest. I AM MOVING IN THIS EARTH IN UNUSUAL WAYS. I am the Lord of the Harvest. As long as the earth remains there is seedtime and harvest. I am planting My Word in the hearts of My people worldwide and they are speaking it out and it will bear much fruit. I DO NOT COMPROMISE MY WORD. It does not return void and it is accomplished.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">MY WORD WILL BRING BILLIONS OF SOULS INTO MY KINGDOM. The Great Commission is going forth. I am also calling My people to sow financial seeds to bring in this end time harvest. SEEDS SOWN IN MY NAME FOR MY PURPOSES WILL REAP A GOD SIZED HARVEST. SPREAD MY WORD. SPREAD YOUR GIVING AND PARTAKE OF MY GLORY.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">I bless you and invite you to enter My joy in the name of Jesus!</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Your soon coming King!</span></strong></p>

<p>In October 2002, I first met Doug Barclay at a Fellowship of Christian Athletes retreat at The Cove in Asheville, NC. As a result of our discussion, Doug left his full-time job in sales to pursue full-time ministry work with Operation Mobilization.</p>
<p>Through a most peculiar series of circumstances, I was eventually <strong>prompted by the Holy Spirit to sow an UNCOMMON $14,4000 (12 x $1,200) seed into Doug&#8217;s life</strong> in February 2003, which was my largest financial gift up to that time. It so happened this was the exact amount (to the dollar) Doug needed to begin work with Operation Mobilization and he began his new job on 03-03-03. Coincidence? I don&#8217;t think so. Numbers are significant to God.</p>
<p>An UNCOMMON seed always yields an UNCOMMON harvest. An UNCOMMON seed is one inspired by Holy Spirit for a God-sized result.</p>
<p><span style="color: #AB052D;"><strong>Here is what we covered &#8230;</strong></span></p>
