GOING OFF THE MAP
I declare in Jesus name that God has no limits. He is moving in my life. I give up my comfort zone and commit to the process today.
GOING OFF THE MAPWe’ve talked about the fight for forward and the principle of momentum, now let’s move forward to the actual process of discovery. Yes, it’s a process!
There is a whole new paradigm we discover when we win the battle, move forward and actually stomp around in new and better places. However, there is an immediate problem with this new level. We are unfamiliar with it. I call those places “off the map.”
When Alexander the Great came to the Indian Ocean, he wept because as far as he knew, there was no more world to conquer. There was actually a lot more left to explore, but he was limited to a map.
That’s not you. You and I were called to be greater than Alexander ever could be, because we have no such limitations.
See, I am doing a new thing! How it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. – Isaiah 43:19
The wilderness is wild because it isn’t inhabited. It’s in uncharted places that He makes a way or a path of progression for each of us. Because of this, He will ask you to try new things without any explanation whatsoever. Off the map. This is God moving you forward.
He doesn’t care if you are a professional speaker when He calls you to speak to great people. Just ask Moses.He doesn’t care if people like you when He calls you to have influence as a prophet. Just ask Jeremiah.
He doesn’t care that everybody thinks worship should be solemn and reverent when He calls you to let it all hang out for His heart. Just ask David. He told Peter to eat unclean food although his Jewish culture said it was forbidden. Off the map. Just like the Holy of Holies or this place…
Neither shall they say, See here! or, See there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you . – Luke 17:21
TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO TAKE THE LORD UP ON HIS INVITATION TO GO OFF THE MAP. ASK HIM WHERE HE WANTS TO TAKE YOU AND KNOW HIS SPIRIT IS INSIDE YOU TO GUIDE YOU.

SOMETHING BAD IS GOING TO HAPPEN
I declare in the name of Jesus that I will not fear in this darkening day. The headlines are liars. Your word is truth just as You, Jesus, are the Way, the Truth and the Life. I follow you, not the world.
SOMETHING BAD IS GOING TO HAPPENPerhaps the most potent and effective lie of Satan that we swallow whole is the overwhelming fear that “something bad is going to happen,” or “death is after me.” Impending doomsday is a terrible feeling. I get it ever single time I step onto an airplane. I’m not going to lie to you, none of us gets out of this life alive.
Just as man is destined to die once and after that face judgment. – Hebrews 9:27
The Bible doesn’t shy away from death, but treats it as a matter of fact. In Ecclesiastes, it simply says there is a “time to be born and a time to die.” It’s just the way it is. We don’t have to like it and, if you want to live well, you won’t let the fear of it rule you.
So many people have been completely incapacitated by the fear of death. Many don’t know this but history’s most famous nurse, Florence Nightingale, was so traumatized by the suffering and death she encountered while taking care of the wounded in the Crimean War, she eventually fell slave to the fear of death. She said she knew it was stalking her.
Once bold and selfless, she laid down in her bed, turned her face to the wall and waited for death. A heroine in all the history books, her end came at age 90. She never left her bedroom.
Do not let the fear of death paralyze you! Florence Nightingale did and she wasted several decades of her life. Think of the impact her service could have made over 50 years!
While the Bible is the ultimate authority, I believe these men have some good advice on the subject.
“Men are not prisoners of fate, but prisoners of their own minds.” – Franklin D. Roosevelt
“All battles are fought by scared men who’d rather be some place else.” – John Wayne
TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO CONFRONT THE FEAR OF DEATH. DON’T GIVE IT POWER OVER YOUR LIFE. GIVE YOUR LIFE TO JESUS!

IS THE SCARLET WOMAN PORN AND THE BEAST SEXUAL ABUSE AND TRAFFICKING RINGS?)
Revelation 17 (The Scarlet Woman and the Scarlet Beast)
Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying to me, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, 2 with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication.”
3 So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication. 5 And on her forehead a name was written:
MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT,
THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS
AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS
OF THE EARTH.
6 I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement.

MIRACLE ON A HOT TIN ROOF
I declare in the name of Jesus I have a new vision of my future. It is good because it is in alignment for my Kingdom assignment. I will fulfill my ministry within the church and mission outside it for Jesus.
MIRACLE ON A HOT TIN ROOFThere’s no way I would ever have signed up to be a pastor. I was going to be a professional musician, tour the world, have lots of fans and live big. God knew my plan, and He knew it was going to take a bit of bait and switch to get me with His program. This is why I call Him “Jehovah Sneaky.”
It all started with an 80 year-old man trying to put new shingles on his lady friend’s leaky roof. He only had the strength to climb the roof with a single shingle each day. He would nail it down, rest, then climb down. It was all he could do.
My father-in-law saw this and decided I needed to climb that roof and help that old man get the job done. Still wanting to impress my beautiful bride’s daddy, I beat feet over to the house and got to work.
When I finished, the old lady offered a glass of lemonade to thank me. Leanna had come over, so we went inside. When she opened her refrigerator, we saw that lemonade was about all she had. Leanna made a run for the store and we filled her fridge and cupboards.
While the old lady was thankful, the old man wasn’t. “What about me? I need food too,” he said, noting several of his friends needed help with groceries. So Leanna and I loaded up the back of my truck with bread and other essentials and took them back on Saturday thinking that about five or six people would show up. He brought over 70.
Within a few months, we were visiting over 50 houses every weekend to deliver food and pray with the people we were blessing. It was the start of the OpenDoor Food Bank, which was the start of OpenDoor Church as we know it.
God knew I wouldn’t sign up to be a pastor, but I’d say yes to helping a hungry neighbor. Today, that food bank feed thousands of people each year and our church blesses even more. I’d say that’s a miracle on a hot tin roof!
What is God’s plan for you? Have you been running from a blessing?

IF IT’S GOD’S WILL, IT WILL HAPPEN–REALITY CHECK!
I declare in Jesus’ name that I am partnering with the Lord and His blueprint for my life. I have dominion in the territory he has given me and proclaim my tent pegs are being expanded today!
IF IT’S GOD’S WILL, IT WILL HAPPEN – REALITY CHECK!We’ve all heard people say “If it’s God’s will, it will happen.” You may have even said it yourself. While there is truth to this statement, many of us have been fed these words along with a big fat lie that we’ve swallowed whole.
Get this straight – it is always God’s will for you to prosper. He wants you to take new territory, whether in ministry, friendships, family, health or your job. However, the vision God has given you can only be achieved by strategic and aggressive action. Want new territory? Make a plan and go after it. God will back you up!
Let’s look at somebody who just said, “If God wants it to happen, it will” and left the results up to fate. You will find this gentleman in the book of Proverbs.
I went by the field of the lazy man, And by the vineyard of the man devoid of understanding; And there it was, all overgrown with thorns; It’s surface was covered with nettles; Its stone wall was broken down. When I saw it, I considered it well. I looked on it and received instruction; A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest; So shall your poverty come like a prowler, and your need like an armed man. – Proverbs 24:30-34
Just hoping that good things would happen caused this man to miss many God-given opportunities. As a result, he became poor with “need like an armed man.” Armed men steal, kill and take prisoners, and that’s what this man was – a prisoner to wrong thinking.
So what was wrong with the passive man’s vineyard? Three things.
1) Thorns: It had become painful instead of valuable. I know of many marriages that are like that because of lack of decisive action. They hope things will get better, but don’t act to change things.
2) Nettles: Their territory had grown ugly and was no longer pleasant to look at. I’ve seen a lot of people with finances like this. They pray, “Lord, prosper me! I know it’s your will.” Then, take no decisive action. As a result, their debt becomes something they can’t bear to look at.
3) Broken down walls: Their territory is no longer protected. It is vulnerable to anyone who wants to steal and destroy it. I’ve seen a lot of families look like that simply because parents couldn’t get on the same page to take decisive action to lead their children in the right direction.
Do you have a vision? Do you want new territory? Or are you stuck and don’t know why? Don’t fall victim to the thinking that “if it’s God’s will,” it will magically happen without you putting tons of effort into it. It takes a plan, effort and partnership with Jesus Christ!
So get with God’s program and become the person He set you up to be!

THE CATALYST OF TRANSFORMATION
I declare in Jesus mighty name I am committed to the cause of Christ. I will share His love and power through my testimony today. I will love the Lord and people. I will hear the words, “well done good and faithful servant.”
THE CATALYST OF TRANSFORMATIONThe Bible tells it straight up: faith without action is dead. For goodness to be a catalyst for kingdom transformation in a person’s life, there needs to be action. We need to take that action.
You and I as Christians need to do things that matter. When you do something good, do it with excellence and make is sustainable so that goodness continues on.
Years ago when Leanna and I started bringing groceries to a group of about 70 senior citizens, I could have gotten tired or distracted. I could have said, “Let somebody else do it. I’ve done my part.”
I didn’t. That food ministry became sustainable because I didn’t fall out or lose focus. And today, OpenDoor Food Bank not only feeds thousands of people each year, I believe we do it with excellence, the same way Jesus would – no questions asked.
We don’t shame people, or judge them. We don’t make them prove their financial need or scoff at their nice car. We don’t know how long they’re going to have that car. We welcome, bless and pray for every person who comes to us for help, plus we load their car with some of the best food around.
It’s time you made a difference and made it much, much bigger than you. In the short time we have on this earth, you and I should make changes that far outlast all of us. Changes that glorify the King of Kings.
Let’s you and I remain faithful and committed to working toward real, tangible transformation through the goodness of God. Let’s advertise His goodness in ways that nobody has dreamed of. Let’s take action!
And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith. – Galatians 6:9-10
TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO ACT ON THE IMPULSE TO DO GOOD. COMMIT TO GOODNESS IN A BIG WAY SO ALL WILL SEE THE GOODNESS OF CHRIST.

THE PRICE OF YOUR FUTURE
I declare in Jesus’ name progression is mine. I am going from faith to faith and glory to glory. When I seek, You are found. When I knock, doors are open that no man can shut.
THE PRICE OF YOUR FUTURECan you pay a big price for something that is not even mapped out yet? For something you haven’t seen, and maybe can’t even explain or define?
Can you sell out for something simply because you do not have the option to remain where you are? If you are going to follow Jesus, that’s exactly what you will have to do. Abraham did.
Now the Lord had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, From your family, And from your father’s house, To a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” – Genesis 12:1-4
The Bible tells us Abraham was 75 years old when he left the only home he’d ever known for a land and a destiny he really couldn’t even wrap his mind around. He just knew he couldn’t stay where he was. He trusted that God was good and had something better for him in that unknown.
Because Abraham was obedient and went after God’s promise of a future for him and his descendants, who weren’t even born yet and, let’s face it, were a long shot as his wife, Sarah, couldn’t have children, he was blessed.
Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, “To your descendants I will give this land.” And there he built an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him. – Genesis 12:7
All of heaven is ready to applaud your rare courage and your amazing vision for bigger and better when you go after your upgrade just like Abraham did. You have one, you know. God didn’t forget to give you a great big destiny. You just have to look for it, like an Easter egg that your loving Daddy hides for you to find.
Let Him delight in your search for your life’s purpose – your Kingdom purpose – where you let heaven invade earth through your service. Your destiny is the place where His will can be done in and through you.
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified. – Romans 8:28-30
TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO SELL OUT FOR THE UNKNOWN OF YOUR NEXT UPGRADE. YOUR KINGDOM PURPOSE IS CALLING. IT’S TIME TO GO AFTER IT.

“THINGS WILL NEVER GET BETTER”
I declare in the name of Jesus all inner vows broken. Redeem the times I said, “I will never,” “I will not,” “I refuse,” “I cannot,” and “That will never happen.” When I said those things I took the future out of your hands. Your will be done, not mine!
“THINGS WILL NEVER GET BETTER”Depression is real and the devil loves to exploit it. Though some of us are more prone to depression, what’s real is every one of us has to make a stand against that mental malfunction.
The truth about the devil is this: he’s extremely evil, but that does not make him big or extremely powerful. If you fight him on his turf, he’ll eat you for lunch. So fight him on the turf that Jesus gives you. That’s where you see the devil for the cosmic punk he is.
You see, the devil likes to work in darkness to bring doubt and depression into your life. In the dark, you can’t see how pathetic he really is. You envision him, and your problems, as horrible, undefeatable and unending. You believe the lie that “things will never get better.”
However, shine the spotlight of truth on him and you have the same revelation as Isaiah:
Those who see you stare at you, they ponder your fate: “Is this the man who shook the earth and made kingdoms tremble, the man who made the world a desert, who overthrew its cities and would not let his captives go home?” – Isaiah 14:16-17
The fact is, we give the devil a lot more credit than he deserves. If you’ve seen “Star Wars” you know what I’m talking about.
Remember how scary Darth Vader was? Evil with a capital “E.” Big, strong, ruthless, destructive. However, Luke Skywalker stood up to fear. He went on the offensive and defeated him. As Vader was gasping for his final breath, Luke took off the menacing helmet and unmasked a scrawny, ugly, pathetic creature. Vader loomed large only because he played on the fear of others.
Satan is like that. He is a schoolyard bully – a child molester who preys on weak people, in their weakest areas, at the weakest time of their lives. That doesn’t have to be you.
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary, the devil, roams the earth like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. –1 Peter 5:8
He can only devour you with darkness and doubt if you let him. It says in James 4:7 “Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” That’s the best advice for those dealing with depression. Resist it. Focus on God and all things good, and depression will flee.

THE HOUND OF HEAVEN
I declare in the name of Jesus I am a seeker of God. The Lord’s eyes are upon me. I seek Him and He is found by me. I am qualified!
THE HOUND OF HEAVENGod loves it when you pursue Him because by chasing after His presence in your life, you are also chasing after upgrade.
You and I need to follow the example of our Lord in being what C.S. Lewis calls “the hound of heaven.” You see, Father God chased you, and called you blessed and holy before you were even saved. He said you were His before you ever cared anything about Him.
So be the hound of heaven. Here’s a practical example: If you think you are called to go on a mission trip, don’t wait until you have the money to go after it. Get a passport. Study the nation. Learn a new language. Get your shots.
If you are called to write a book, start writing a blog. Go to book signings, meet authors and get advice. Do whatever you can to step into the territory God is giving you. Oh, that makes God happy!
The most famous verse in the Bible that speaks of God having a unique calling for each of our lives is found in Jeremiah. You and I know this one by heart.
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. – Jeremiah 29:11
Let’s be honest. You and I love this verse because it’s all about us and the good things God wants for us. But keep reading. There is a catch and it’s called pursuit.
Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back from your captivity… – Jeremiah 29:12-14a
See, you and I need to chase after God in order to find His plan for our future and our hope. You need to call on Him, go and pray to Him, and seek and search for Him with your whole heart. If you do that, the Bible says He will be found by you.
It’s amazing to think that the maker of the universe enjoys playing hide and seek with His kids. Why? To lead us out of the captivity of a useless, selfish, wasted life.
TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO PURSUE YOUR DESTINY LIKE A HOUND DOG CHASING A FOX. SEEK YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN AND WHEN YOU DO, HE WILL REVEAL HIMSELF TO YOU.
