Some thoughts Paul Manwarings sermon last night.....


Hope doesn't grow when everything is going well.
No wilderness is a waste of time.
Hope grows in the wilderness.

If you are in the middle of hard work or a hard season, Embrace the season and be the best you can be.
Live a life of no regret. Regret is the enemy of your testimony.
Remember in thanks what He has done for you because they are the signposts for where you are going. You continually build on your testimony and the power of your testimony will propel you where you are going (my paraphrase because I can't remember how he said it)
Psalm 119: I consider thy ways and turned my feet to thy testimonies.
David's testimonies kept him on the right path (according to this verse.)
Fear is the enemy of the prophetic.
Fear will keep me from grabbing hold of the prophetic spoken over my life.
We are to take the prophetic and beat fear up (1 Timothy1:18 This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare,)
Remind yourself of what He has done and beat fear up when it comes with the prophetic word over you.
Forgive yourself for mistakes you have made.
If you don't, then you are saying you deserve it and you are therefore introducing the concept into your thinking, that you deserve to be punished!
Love and forgiveness are related. You need to love yourself so you can love others. First you have to forgive yourself. 
Another obstacle to your life  is about a misunderstanding of what a promotion means
We think you have to go up to be promoted.
It really means "for" "motion"
The journey now is what is getting ready for the forward motion. As long as you are moving forward, you are being promoted
Don't miss the here and now looking for what is to come
Just keep moving !
So much is related to lies we believe about "nevers".
If you can convert one lie that keeps repeating itself you will give your self a tool that will change your life.

If you will reverse a lie you will start doing things differently tomorrow. He wastes nothing.  We have a record in our head. Learn to live on purpose by saying the truth!

He uses things in our life to reflect a facet of His glory.
We need to live as the bread of His presence
He takes the circumstances of our life and sees what this will become so stop fretting the present and enjoy the dance with Him.
"We have to LIVE in the middle of crisis".
We are not dead, we are in the land of the living. Romans 12:1 don't be transformed by what you see but by the renewing of your mind.
The brain can be retrained.
You can shut off the pathway made by the things that happened already. We can change those pathways by thinking on His truth.

Your destiny is not far out mystical future but under your feet
Stop resigning to bad things happening and re sign to the abundance God has prepared for your life!
