OBSATCLES

Our
subconscious mind ("automatic
success mechanism" "cervo-
mechanism" Dr. Maltz) responds
appropriately to our given
situation based on the
information we give it. We must
glance at the obstacles and
focus entirely on the goal we
want to achieve. Like all the
animals and plants in nature, we
are hard wired for success. We
must use our imagination to
point at targets we want to hit
rather than use it for worry and
negativity. Focus on where
you are going to go. Vision the
success, not the obstacles.

Know Him as Father

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE

“For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, ‘Abba, Father’ ”
(Romans 8:15, NIV)

TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria

When you acknowledge that Jesus is the Son of the living God, that He came to earth, lived a sinless life, died for our sins and rose again on the third day, then you have a new relationship with God. He becomes your Savior. People receive this truth and know God as the all-powerful, all-mighty Creator of the universe — the King of kings and the Lord of lords. And, He is all of that and worthy of our praise! But, many people don’t realize how personal God wants to be with you. He doesn’t just want you to see Him as living far off, He wants you to know Him as a close, loving and gentle Father — your Daddy.

If you didn’t have a good father growing up, don’t let that taint the image of who your heavenly Father is. He is merciful. He is forgiving. He is loving. Let the Word of God show you how good and faithful He is. Get to know Him in a more personal way. Talk to Him on a daily basis. Remember, you don’t have to go through anybody else to talk to God. You have a direct line. Know Him as your Savior, know Him as your Lord, know Him as your Father, and know His love in a new way.
