How Far Can You See?

“God said to Abram, ‘Open your eyes, look around. Look north, south, east, and west. Everything you see, the whole land spread out before you, I will give to you.'”
Genesis 13:14-17 MSG

Are you ready to upgrade your life?

Are you ready to expand your horizons and step into a whole new land of opportunity? 

If so, you will have to learn to see with new eyes.

Join me this week for Part Two of a brand new series designed to give you new sight. 

Don’t miss an all-new LIVE 4-Points Broadcast this Thursday at 7pm ET!

Also, I want to remind you that the long-awaited movie Canal Street will be in a theater near you THIS FRIDAY, January 18th!

As an Executive Producer, I am proud to be among the team of visionaries who brought this cultural drama to life.

This is the YEAR OF THE VISIONARY...the year you will see your life conform to what you’ve imagined possible.

Join me LIVE this Thursday as I walk you through each step of this transformational process.

Bring your friends along on the journey…start your own life group—and join me and mine as I reveal how you can harness the power of vision to redefine your destiny.

Your future is calling you; you might as well say “Hello!”

You can step into the future of your dreams the moment you shift your focus…because whatever holds your focus controls your future.

A vision will help you focus on possibilities rather than problems.

Learn to look beyond where you are…because where you are is only as permanent as your thoughts about it.

The moment you see your life unfolding differently is the moment it will begin to unfold differently!

How you see your life unfolding is exactly how it unfolds. Why? Because Anything you constantly hold in your mind eventually unfolds in your life.

This is why you need a vision.

A vision is simply a clear image of coming attractions.

What is not clear to you now will not be there for you tomorrow.

What you cannot see coming will never come—because what is beyond your ability to see is beyond your ability to have.

How far you are able to see determines how far you go in life.

A vision acts as a catalyst activating you into destiny by helping you make the right decisions.

A vision is a destiny adjuster.

Being able to capture God’s plan for your life as a vision will give you the ability to structure your prayers in such a way that your future will have to conform.

Allow God to refocus the lens of your spirit from the natural to the supernatural by giving you a vision.

2019: A Year For More…or More of the Same?

“The Lord spoke His word to Abram in a vision: ‘Abram, don’t be afraid. I will defend you, and I will give you a great reward.’”
Genesis 15:1 NCV

Here we are…a full week into the New Year! 

What is the vision you have written down for where you want to go in 2019? 

How will you know when you have arrived?

Watch Part One ON DEMAND NOW
of an all-new 6-part HELLO TOMORROW! 
series on vision!

I am so excited about 2019—not only because it is The Year of the Visionary, but because the long-awaited movie Canal Street comes to theaters!

Canal Street is a powerful story about faith in the face of injustice and wrongful imprisonment.

As an Executive Producer, I am proud to be among the team of visionaries who brought this cultural drama to life.

 Click Here To Watch the Trailer!

In honor of MLK Weekend, plan to watch this powerful movie at a theater near you Friday, January 18th!

Stir your faith by expanding your vision for greater impact in the year ahead. 

Because Hebrews tells us “faith is the substance of things hoped for,” there must be something hoped for!

Visions come from God and are given to individuals who capture them.

When God gives you a vision, He invites you to a land of possibility—the Land of Tomorrow.

I’ve heard it said that tomorrow is a place where 99% of human activities happen and manifest.

You must learn to operate in the territory of tomorrow.

When we look at our life, we don’t usually sit long enough to allow God to give us an indication and a vision of the plans He has for us tomorrow…or a week from now…or two weeks or five years or a decade from now.

What I am doing today is a result of a vision I wrote twenty years ago.

You will never know you have arrived if you’ve never had a destination in mind.

Take an interest in the future because that is where you will spend the rest of your life.

Today is the tomorrow you thought about yesterday…and it is going to be the yesterday you think about tomorrow.

If the future is where you’ll spend the rest of your life, you might as well get involved in provoking it!

When God told Abram, “Fear not, great will be your reward” (see Genesis 15:1), He set in motion the principle that there is a reward given to those who harness the power of their imagination.

Allow God to use your imagination to provoke your future by constructing your prayers accordingly.

Don’t focus on what is; focus on what is possible.

Your future will have to conform to what you’ve imagined is possible.

The moment you begin to think better you can have better!

Your future is calling…
Say Hello! to your tomorrow!

It’s Your Time To Shine

“[God] is able to do far more than we…ever dare to ask or even dream of.”
Ephesians 3:20

We are still basking in the afterglow of End Your Year Strong 2018! Truly, God exceeded all of our expectations for a transformational event!

If you missed it, today you can watch all of it ON DEMAND!

I guarantee your life will never be the same—the anointing that was present will overflow into your home or into whatever environment from where you are watching…it was that powerful.

WATCH NOW ON DEMAND!

You will be empowered to rise up into new realms of dominion and influence, because God is establishing a new paradigm of leadership for the Church in this season.

Learn to see yourself as the powerful culture shaper that you were created to be and embrace the authority He has given you to advance His Kingdom.

Learn to think like a visionary.

Be a person of vision.

It’s time for every one of us to rise up with the dreams and visions we’ve been given by God—to shine with the glory that is risen upon each of us.

“Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you!” 
Isaiah 60:1

I speak now to the Church: It’s time to take stock, press in, and get in step with what God is doing in this next season.

Atmospheres are shifting and heaven is calling us up into greater authority and influence.

Become the change agent God created you to be.

There has been a new mandate issued and level of anointing released for the people of God to take the lead in redefining the future. 

The darker and more chaotic the world becomes, the greater the demand on the people of light.

For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the Lord will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you.”
Isaiah 60:2

Don’t wait to elevate your destiny and expand your leadership potential.

If you were with us for the Empowerment Summit, you know how significant this message is for believers in this season—and the power of a clear vision boldly declared.

Let’s take the momentum of End Your Year Strong and create a movement.

I am so excited about what the next year holds for God’s people! 2019 will be a year of great “above-and-beyond” exploits for those who know their God! (See Daniel 11:32.)

Every great exploit begins with an ordinary person stepping up to serve in an extraordinary way.

Where can you lay your hand to the plow? Where can you step forward and voluntarily serve the greater good?

This is where filling the leadership gaps begins.

A leadership gap is your invitation to serve.

Let’s begin changing the tide–let’s begin transforming culture by simply serving wherever we see a need.

History isn’t always made by those under the spotlight or in the headlines—but more often by those who serve as unto the Lord.

“Work hard and cheerfully at all you do, just as though you were serving the Lord … He is the one you are really working for.”
Colossians 3:23-24 TLB

How might keeping in mind who “you are really working for” change your motivation—your attitude—your priorities.

How might the needs you see around you be your personal invitation to step into a destiny-defining upward call?

God sees and rewards your faithfulness on every level. 

God uses every circumstance to pivot your future. 

Don’t despise small beginnings! Be faithful in the little things! This is what God will use to promote you.

How did world changers such as Gandhi, Mandela, and Mother Theresa change the course of history?

They were faithful with the small thing God gave them to respond to—they tapped into their ability to respond. 

“Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin.”
Zechariah 4:10 NLT

What small needed change could you take responsibility for?

Where are you called to “arise and shine”? 

I’m here to tell you “the glory of the Lord is risen upon you!” It’s your time to shine!

The post It’s Your Time To Shine appeared first on Cindy Trimm Ministries International.

The Future Is Now

“The people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits.”

Daniel 11:32 NKJV 

This is the week! We are so excited about this year’s End Your Year Strong and the impact this event will have on the world!

We are launching the event with a State of the Union Address for the Church followed by a dynamic leadership panel discussion.

If you’re looking to expand your vision, build your leadership capacity, broaden your influence, and have greater impact in 2019, you won’t want to miss what will be presented here.

“The Kingdom of Heaven has been forcefully advancing!”

Matthew 11:12 NLT

This year’s line up of speakers and worship artists is unprecedented!

If you haven’t already registered, it’s not too late! 

Join me in person or on LiveStream! 

You can write a new chapter and craft a new outcome for your life, ministry, business, or industry by the force of this one decision.

Sometimes it is simply a matter of saying “yes” and showing up where opportunities are present—where thought leaders, trendsetters, and change makers are gathered.

Because the primary thing that will slow your progress is lack of strategy.

And most people aren’t strategic because they lack vision.

Have you written out your vision for the year ahead?

A written vision is a powerful tool you can use to recalibrate your life, ministry, or business—it is what magnetizes the future of your dreams to your present reality.

“This vision-message is a witness pointing to what’s coming.

It aches for the coming—it can hardly wait!”

Habakkuk 2:2 MSG

I have found that the biggest challenge people face when writing a clear and compelling vision is that they don’t know what they want.

This is not new to those of us living in the modern age of infinite possibilities. Jesus found those He ministered to suffering from the same lack of clarity:

“What do you want me to do for you?”

Mark 10:51

In the 19th century, Mark Twain observed: “I can help anyone get anything they want out of life. The only problem is that I can’t find anyone who knows what they want.”

Decide now what you want next year to look like. Don’t wait until January to start writing a vision for the year ahead…the year will already be underway by then! 

Don’t wait until the year is already underway to decide how you want it to look.

I challenge you as you prepare to begin next year strong to get clear on what you truly want.

What do you want to transpire in your life over the next twelve months? Forget for a moment about the expectations of others—about your roles and duties.

Take just a moment to consider what you deeply desire for yourself.

What is the deeply personal vision you hold for your one, precious life?

Every day the world tries to tell you who you should become. If you aren’t careful, the world’s opinions can keep you from making your life your own.

As you begin 2019, remember:

No one can live your life for you— you must take ownership of your own life, future, and destiny.

Your vision and goals should be the most authentic, empowered expression of the aspirations that make you distinctly you.

Adopting someone else’s vision for your life or attempting to squeeze yourself into someone else’s mold only diminishes your potential and distorts your unique gift to the world.

Research shows that individuals who are surrounded by people with personalities more dominant than their own tend to suppress their own dreams and desires.

Or perhaps you’ve been distracted by things that hold no real meaning for you or your future. 

“What good would it do to get everything you want and lose you, the real you?”

—Mark 8:37 MSG

Because you know yourself better than anyone else, only you can determine the dreams, decisions, and destiny that are right for you.

Therefore, as the Apostle Paul exhorts:

“Live creatively…Make a careful exploration of who you are and the work you have been given, and then sink yourself into that. Don’t be impressed with yourself. Don’t compare yourself with others. Each of you must take responsibility for doing the creative best you can with your own life” (Gal. 6:1,4-5 MSG).

As you prepare now to start next year strong, ask yourself two things:

How am I allowing others to mold my life to their vision rather than my own?


How will I make the most of the precious gift God has given me—the power to choose blessing and life? (See Deut. 30:19.)

If you’re ready to take ownership of your life,

join me and my coaching team on a 52-week destiny-driven adventure.

I invite you to explore the newly renovated Executive Life Coaching program.

It is a holistic, life and leadership transformation journey that delves deeply into the twelve key areas of success and prosperity—giving you everything you need to fulfill your purpose, maximize your potential, and put yourself in the driver’s seat of your destiny.

If you’ve dreamed of taking your life, relationships, health, career, and leadership to the next level—of becoming an agent of change and leaving a lasting a legacy—don’t let this opportunity pass you by.  We are starting our next year-long journey together in January, so plan NOW to join the adventure!

The future is now

at  www.TrimmCoaching.com.

Don’t wait to win at life, come with me on this transformational journey. Take authority over your future! 

Let’s write that clear and compelling vision for every area of your life, set those transformational goals that will propel you forward, and implement the life-changing strategies that will put you back in control of your time, personal brand, and legacy.

I pray God will give you courage and wisdom to make your life your own.

You can pray too:

A Prayer for Personal Authority:

Father, there is more to me than meets the eye.

In the name of Jesus I destroy every limiting belief  that has taken root in my mind.

I take authority over all destiny-altering activity.

I break out of every form of bondage: emotional, psychological, financial, and spiritual.

I will not let fear keep me from my destiny.

I decree and declare that I will do everything  You created me to do.

Let every gift and calling You have deposited  within me be released in its perfect time.

In Jesus’s name, Amen.

Make 2019 the year you make history—the year you write the best chapter of your best life. 

Catch a vision for all that is possible and begin maximizing your potential to fulfill God’s grand purpose for you!

“A [vision] doesn’t lie…

It’s on its way. It will come right on time.”

Habakkuk 2:2 MSG

Who Are You Becoming?

“So follow the steps of the good, and stay on the paths of the righteous. For only the godly will live in the land, and those with integrity will remain in it. ”

Proverbs 2:20-21

We are a little over a week away from the Empowerment Event of the year!

It’s not too late to secure your seat and join the ranks of those pressing into heaven, breaking through barriers, and living beyond the limits!

“The Kingdom of Heaven has been forcefully advancing!”

Matthew 11:12 NLT

Who you become in the year ahead is contingent upon the decisions you make today.

I urge you, as Paul told Timothy, to stir up the power God has placed within you (see 2 Tim 1:6)—to ask and believe for more than you ever imagined possible (see James 4:2).

Decide NOW to join me in Atlanta December 7-8!

Don’t hesitate to step forward and live your best life. Don’t wait to break free and break out of the status quo!

This once-in-a-year opportunity is your personal invitation to live more purposefully, expand your infinite capacity, and become all you have the potential to be.

End this year strong and begin next year better!

As we head toward the end of the year, many of us have our eyes fixed on what’s ahead—and that’s a good thing!

In fact, I’ve been thinking a lot about what I believe will be historic opportunities for the people of God in 2019.

However, I want to invite you this week to pause and take stock of how far you’ve come…

What has God shown you over the course of the year?
What setbacks or hurdles have you overcome?

Give yourself—and God—some credit for where you are now!

Whether you’ve achieved some notable accomplishments, or you’re still climbing what feels like a steep hill…

…if you’re here, you’re still in the game either scoring or about to!

And whether or not you feel like you’re the one making touchdowns…

...if you’re walking in the love of God, you’re part of a winning team.

You are in the world to make a world of difference wherever you are standing.

All you have to do is shine. All you have to do is be the light you are already wired to be—either in your place of work, in your family, or on the street where you’re walking, or driving, or doing business.

Wherever you are in the world, you are there to light it!

It’s like that old saying: “Wherever you go, there you are”—wherever in the world you find yourself is exactly where in the world you are called to be the light.

It’s not complicated.

As human beings, we tend to overcomplicate things. But what we are called to do in this world is quite simple: Walk. In. Love.

Love fulfills all the requirements of religion and the law (see Romans 13:10). In fact, there is nothing that matters more. (See 1 Cor. 13:3.)

Our very faith is founded on and works by love. (See Galatians 5:6.)

“The important thing is faith—the kind of faith that works through love.”

Galatians 5:6 ERV

So as we put another year behind us, and begin dreaming about the next, I invite you to examine your love walk.

What kind of faith are you building your life, goals, dreams, and legacy on?

In fact, let’s talk about the integrity of your faith.

“The integrity of the upright guides them.”

Proverbs 11:3 NIV

Integrity is defined as moral uprightness, virtue, honor, righteousness, and good character.

It is also defined as the state of being whole and undivided—not double-minded or “duplicitous.”

This is important, because we are told in James that those who are double-minded will receive nothing from the Lord. (See James 1:6-8.)

I don’t know about you, but I’m hoping to receive a great deal from the Lord!

“For in Him we live and move and have our being.”

Acts 17:28

We can’t expect to have more until we are willing to become more.

Becoming more in the Kingdom of God begins with character. “Of all the tasks which are set before man in life,” wrote 19th century historian, William Lecky, “the education and management of his character is the most important.”

“And, in order that it should be successfully pursued,” Lecky added:

“It is necessary that he should make a calm and careful survey of his own tendencies, unblinded either by the self-deception which conceals errors and magnifies excellences, or by the indiscriminate pessimism which refuses to recognize his powers for good.”

In other words, take stock of who you are becoming: Be willing to speak the truth to yourself in love (see Ephesians 4:15), remembering God is faithful to complete every good work He begins!

“He who has begun a good work in you will complete it.”

Philippians 1:6

God will complete the good work He has begun in you by building your capacity to walk in greater degrees of honor, righteousness, and love—by strengthening the integrity of your character.

As you prepare to finish this year strong, think about who you are becoming in the process. 

This is your personal brand. That is what will define the legacy you leave, the lives you influence, and the impact you’ll have.

How will God’s love be made known through you…be perfected in you?

“Eagerly pursue and see to acquire [this] love [make it your aim, your great quest].”

1 Corinthians 14:1 AMP

Living a life ruled by the love of God is what integrity is all about. It is what opens you up to the favor and blessings and power of God and positions you to transform the atmosphere, environment, and culture around you.

It is how you continually dwell in God’s powerful presence where there is infinite freedom, peace, wisdom, provision, healing, and fullness of joy.

“If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and His love is perfected in us.”

1 John 4:12

A Recipe for Victory!

“Always give thanks for everything to our God and Father.”

Ephesians 5:20 TLB

This week here in the United States we are celebrating Thanksgiving.

The history of this annual tradition dates back to the original colonists—and was proclaimed a national holiday by the first president, George Washington. 

Thomas Jefferson chose not to observe the holiday and for more than half a century it was not regularly celebrated.

In 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a federal holiday to be celebrated on the fourth Thursday of every November.

“Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens.”

Abraham Lincoln

The Civil War came to an end eighteen months later.

Now more than ever we need to pause and offer “thanksgiving and praise to our beneficent Father” to turn the tides of oppression, injustice, and violence.

Join me for An Extravagant Night of Worship at End Your Year Strong 2018!

No matter what you’re battling, your recipe for victory is extravagant praise and thanksgiving.

It’s a matter of what you choose to glorify—whether you glorify the problem or the Solution.

Will you magnify the works of the enemy or the promises found in God’s Word?

Where will you choose to put your focus?

Too often we focus on the what chastises our peace rather than on the Prince of Peace.

We choose to focus on what we don’t have and who we are not, rather on that we do have and who we are in Christ.

We allow whatever is missing from our lives to command our attention rather than the goodness and grace of God always working on our behalf.

“We know that in everything God works for the good of those who love Him.”

Romans 8:28 NCV

Living a victorious life is a matter of managing your focus—specifically, focusing on the victory Giver: “Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory” (1 Corinthians 15:57 ESV).

The key to unlocking the abundance of God is thanking and praising the God of abundance.

Abundance is all around you in every moment, just as is your heavenly Father.

And if God is in everything—“by him all things consist” (Colossians 1:17)—we know that where He is there is provision, freedom, joy, healing, and whatever you need.

“God…is over all and through all and in all.”

Ephesians 4:6 NIV

God wants to bless you with all goodness, grace, wisdom, authority, and abundance.

He wants to give you eyes to see and ears to hear His promise for you in every situation.

He wants you to overcome, to succeed, to prosper, to be victorious—to inherit every one of His promises. 

He wants you to step into the blessed life because that is where you will live your best life.

God wants you to focus on Him and all that is possible in Christ.

When your circumstances are pulling on your attention, focus on God! Focus on what He is saying, what He has promised, and what He has done and will continue to do in your life.

The more attention you give to what you hope for rather than what you fear, the more your mind—and your energy—will be renewed.

You’re not going to be tired or depressed or overwhelmed. You will throw off the spirit of heaviness, indifference, and lethargy that leads to despair.

You will have energy to shake yourself awake and walk in God’s ever-present light.

“Awake, O sleeper,

    rise up from the dead,

    and Christ will give you light.”

Ephesians 5:14 NLT

If you want more of God and His light in your life, focus your attention on Him by lifting up your head, heart, hands, and voice with praise and thanksgiving.

If you want more victory, peace, and joy, praise and thank God for more than you even understand is possible. 

This is not only your instant-access pass to the throne room of Heaven, but also the key to unlocking the power residing within you.

“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.”

Ephesians 3:20 NKJV

Wherever your focus goes your energy flows—which is why whatever you focus on grows. If you want more of God’s goodness growing in your life, focus on His goodness.

No matter where you are in the world this week, take time to offer thanksgiving and praise to our generous “beneficent” Father.

Give thanks for God’s abundance with abundant thanksgiving!

Take Your Life Out Of Neutral

“Decide and decree a thing, and it will be established for you; and the light [of God’s favor] will shine upon your ways.”

Job 22:28 AMP

Whenever you make a decision, it affects two realms: the spiritual realm and the natural realm.

Decisions affect both your spiritual frequency and your natural frequency—the level of authority you operate in both the spiritual and natural spheres.

You can decide for a change.

Decide now to live beyond the limits!

Join me for End Your Year Strong!

One decision can radically transform your life.

The moment you make a decision, you alter your destiny.

Destiny is decision oriented.

If you want to live an extraordinary life, you must have extraordinary decision-making skills.

Your life comes to you in a measured way—one day and one decision at a time.

“Choose you this day…”

Joshua 24:15 KJV

Every day that you awaken, you make destiny-defining choices.

If today you don’t like where you are, then decide where it is you’d rather be—and then make the necessary choices that will take you there.

What is one decision you can make today that will move you in the direction of your dreams?

You can decide to take 100% responsibility for your life.

When you take full responsibility, that means you take ownership—and the moment you take ownership, you put yourself back in the driver’s seat.

Take your personal power back and begin making decisions that will change the course of your life one destiny-defining day at a time.

You are the author of your life story. 

You can choose what will be written on the pages of your life. 

Every time you make a decision, you put pen to paper. Your decisions are the pen you use to write your life story—that means you’re going to have to think for a change; you’re going to have to be intentional about the decisions you make to create the changes you want.

If you want to elevate your life, you must elevate your thoughts.

The Kingdom—and the Word it is founded upon—is about getting you to shift your paradigm; training you how to think.

The Word of God says that if you want to transform your life, you must first transform your mind—you must renew it, or realign it with the truth of who God says you are in Christ. 

“Let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.”

Romans 12:2 NLT

I like the Message translation of this verse: “Fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out…God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you” (Romans 12:2 MSG).

If you want to take your life out of neutral, fix your attention on God—let Him establish your thoughts!

“Commit your works to the Lord,

And your thoughts will be established.”

Proverbs 16:3 NKJV

God will will establish your thoughts; He will establish your thinking. He will give you a vision, a plan, and a strategy to accomplish what He has called you to do on a day-to-day basis. 

God will download His will for you as a vision—but it is your responsibility to write that vision and make it plain so you can act on it; so you can set goals and make decisions based on that vision.

Your decisions should be dictated by a God-inspired vision. 

If your life isn’t giving you the outcomes you want, ask God to align your thoughts with His purpose and give you a vision for accomplishing it.

Whatever God has called you to do, He will give you the grace to do it. “For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure” (Philippians 2:13 NKJV).

“God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases Him.”

Philippians 2:13 NLT

It is according to that power working in you that you are able to do more than you think you’re capable of. 

God wants to make you aware of how much power you have—“for God has not given [you] a spirit of fear, but of power!” (2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV).

And I want to make you aware of how much power you have! 

Join me this Thursday for the 4 Points Broadcast!

I guarantee you will be empowered like never before to dramatically accelerate your life!

Join me LIVE this Thursday evening for a paradigm-shifting, limitation-breaking, barrier-busting teaching that will give you keys, principles, and strategies for taking your life out of neutral once and for all. 

Expand your vision for what is possible for you!

“All glory to God, who is able, through His mighty power at work within us,

to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.”

Ephesians 3:20 NLT

Defy The Status Quo!

“Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”

Hebrews 4:16 NIV

There are so many believers in the world who let life happen to them, not knowing they are in a position to affect change.

There are so many gifted and talented people living miserable lives because they are confined by restrictions imposed upon them by others.

The days of restricted living are over.

Learn to LIVE BEYOND THE LIMITS

at End Your Year Strong 2018!

Dare to go beyond the boundaries and expectations of others.

Dare to stretch past the walls and barriers that have been imposed upon you.

Dare to imagine and ask for more.

Dare to “do immeasurably more…according to His power that is at work within us.”

Ephesians 3:20 NIV

Dare to defy the status quo!

Your destiny is attached to the decisions you dare to make every day.

If you want to live into the immeasurably more that God has for you, you must learn to adopt a make-it-happen mindset.

Your destiny is contingent upon your decisions.

When we talk about destiny, we’re talking about where a person ends up at a future point in time based on the decisions they make now or have made in the past.

I am always surprised by the numbers of people who don’t have a clue that they can “decide for a change”—that they can change anything the moment they embrace their identity as a divinely-ordained change agent.

You are divinely created to create change.

You are a creative being with the power to imagine new outcomes—and endowed with the divine agency to act on what you’ve imagined.

You’ve probably heard me on a number of occasions describe the three types of people I’ve observed: 

1. Those who watch things happen

2. Those who ask, “What happened?”

3. Those who make things happen

History is made by those who make things happen. Change is made by those who make change happen. Success is made by those who make success happen. Wealth is made by those who make prosperity happen. 

A difference is made by those who make a difference happen.

Life is never fair; success and prosperity happen on an uneven playing field.

I used to think the playing field was level—that we are all given the same opportunity because we are all given the same number of hours in a day.

But the field is never completely level, and you will trip if you fail to see it for what it is. You need to run toward the endzone with your eyes wide open so you don’t stumble when you encounter a dip—let alone a defensive tackle.

You must be quick to adjust to make the goal.

We’re living in a world where we hear a great deal about discrimination—where we hear about marginalization, injustice, and inequality.

Most people believe that these are the types of things that determine their destiny.

However, it’s not inequity that determines your destiny, but how you react; it’s how you respond to the obstacles you encounter that determines your future.  

This is how you defy the status quo.

You take action.

You learn not to be reactive, but to be proactive. 

It takes courage to go against the status quo—to go against tradition or the socio-cultural constraints of a nation; to speak up against unjust legislation.

It takes courage to proactively stand and speak out on behalf of those who haven’t yet found their voice. 

It takes strong inner conviction to disrupt the status quo.

We’re living in a time when believers must step up and disrupt!

Now more than ever we need God’s people to shake the world awake—to disrupt a world asleep to the need for justice and mercy.

We can no longer stand idly by watching from the sidelines. It is incumbent upon each of us to defy the status quo in our lives and in our nations.

The days of living bound by restrictions are over.

Purpose and destiny have the power to propel you beyond the status quo.

This is why I write purpose-driven, destiny-defining books such as Commanding Your Morning and Hello Tomorrow!

And it’s why I host events such as End Your Year Strong!

Let’s join together and break through every barrier to change and become all who God in Christ created us to be—until “the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord” (Rev. 11:15).

Join me in Atlanta Dec. 7-8 as we step into life beyond the limits! 

“The people who know their God shall be strong and carry out great exploits.”

Unlock God’s Extravagance!

“This is the day the Lord has made;

We will rejoice and be glad in it!”

Psalm 118:24

If you want to begin your day strong, begin it by acknowledging its Creator with joy and gladness.

If you want God working in any area of your life, first “ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name” (1 Chron. 16:29)—declaring His goodness with a grateful heart.

If you need protection, provision, wisdom, healing—help of any kind—first and foremost, praise God for His faithfulness.

“Go to the Lord for help…worshipping Him continually.”

1 Chronicles 16:11

Whatever you need, however you want to live, whatever your dreams, first “offer to God the sacrifice of praise” (Ps. 149:14).

This is the key to breaking free and living beyond the limits—the more extravagant your worship, the more extravagant the results.

A Night of Extravagant Worship with Grammy Nominee Todd Delaney!

The theme of this year’s End Your Year Strong Empowerment Summit is BEYOND THE LIMITS!

And that is why we are inviting the top worship artists from around the country and dedicating an entire evening to barrier-breaking, limitation-busting, atmosphere-shifting, earth-altering, heaven-revealing worship!

The secret to your victory, freedom, and breakthrough success is hidden in your attitude of gratitude toward God.

Unlock God’s extravagance through extravagant worship.

When I think of someone in the Bible who exhibited extravagant greatness, I think of David. 

David who as a teenager slew a lion and a bear, and then took down a giant, and as one of the most famous warriors, conquered entire armies. 

David who succeeded and prospered at everything he set his hands to—who God favored above all others and anointed king over Israel; a royal lineage for all generations.

But more than this, David was known as a worshipper. He was referred to as “a man after God’s own heart” (see 1 Sam. 13:14 and Acts 13:22).

“The Lord has sought out a man after His own heart and appointed him ruler.”  

1 Samuel 13:14 NIV

Some translate this to mean that David held a special place in God’s heart, as in he was “the apple of His eye” (see Psalm 17:8), or that David was an imitator of God, as in “a chip off the old block.”

But I believe this to mean that God sought after a person who would seek after Him—someone who would chase after His heart.

And as the Bible’s primary psalmist, that’s what David did. David was after—as in pursuit of—God’s heart through extravagant worship.

“Celebrating extravagantly all the way…David…danced with great abandon before God.”

2 Samuel 6:14 MSG

David was quick to give God extravagant glory upon every victory, and he was quick to extravagantly praise Him in his every time of need.

And this is why David experienced extravagant results.

It is why David seemed to walk in supernatural strength, grace, discernment, provision, favor, protection, and wisdom. 

Are you in need of supernatural grace? Are you in need of divine wisdom? Are you in need of more-than-enough provision? Are you in need of an epic breakthrough?

“Worship the Lord your God; it is He who will deliver you from the hand of all your enemies.”

2 Kings 17:39

Learn to worship God extravagantly. 

Become an extravagant worshipper and you will unlock heaven’s extravagance in your life.

Join me in Atlanta for A Night of Extravagant Worship and you will see your life extravagantly changed!

“Bring an offering [of thanksgiving], and come before Him;

Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness.

Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad;

Let them say among the nations, ‘The Lord reigns!’”

1 Chronicles 16:29, 31 AMP

I challenge you this week, as it is recorded in 1 Chronicles, to begin the day as David did declaring the goodness of God and giving thanks: “That day David first gave…this song of thanks to the Lord” (1 Chronicles 16:7)…

“Give thanks to the Lord!

Call on His name!

Make known His accomplishments among the nations!

Sing to Him! Make music to Him!

Tell about all His miraculous deeds!

Boast about His holy name!

Let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!

Seek the Lord and the strength He gives!

Seek His presence continually!

Recall the miraculous deeds He performed,

His mighty acts and the judgments He decreed…

He is the Lord our God;

He carries out judgment throughout the earth.

Remember continually His covenantal decree,

the promise He made to a thousand generations—

the promise He made to Abraham,

the promise he made by oath to Isaac!

He gave it to Jacob as a decree,

to Israel as a lasting promise,

saying, ‘To you I will give the land of Canaan

as the portion of your inheritance’…

He let no one oppress them,

He disciplined kings for their sake,

saying, ‘Don’t touch My anointed ones!

Don’t harm My prophets!’

Sing to the Lord, all the earth!

Announce every day how He delivers!

Tell the nations about His splendor,

tell all the nations about His miraculous deeds!

For the Lord is great and certainly worthy of praise…

Majestic splendor emanates from Him,

He is the source of strength and joy.

Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the nations,

ascribe to the Lord splendor and strength!

Ascribe to the Lord the splendor He deserves!

Bring an offering and enter His presence!

Worship the Lord in holy attire!

Tremble before Him, all the earth!

The world is established, it cannot be moved.

Let the heavens rejoice, and the earth be happy!

Let the nations say, ‘The Lord reigns!’

Let the sea and everything in it shout!

Let the fields and everything in them celebrate!

Then let the trees of the forest shout with joy before the Lord,

for He comes to judge the earth!

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good

and His loyal love endures…

May the Lord God of Israel be praised,

in the future and forevermore.”

1 Chronicles 16:8-36

“Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power

and the glory and the majesty and the splendor,

for everything in heaven and earth is Yours.

Yours, Lord, is the kingdom;

You are exalted as head over all!”

1 Chronicles 29:11

Maximize Your Moments

“See that you walk carefully…making the very most of your time […recognizing and taking advantage of each opportunity and using it with wisdom and diligence].”

Psalm 90:12 NKJV

God gives everyone without partiality the gift of time—and seeded within every second, He gives everyone opportunity.

Every day God deposits 86,400 seconds into your personal account called life.

That means, every single day you are given 86,400 opportunities to make a change, to make a difference; to make your dreams come true.

Every second given to you is pregnant with opportunity.

You have the opportunity to use every second any way you want—but when that second is gone, it’s gone forever.

So my challenge to you today is to make the most of every opportunity by maximizing your moments.

Your future comes to you moment by moment.

What are you doing each moment to build momentum in your life?

You won’t own your future until you own your present—until you own the moments of your day.

Take Ownership by Registering NOW for End Your Year Strong! 

Take ownership of your life.

You can make every moment count by being intentional with your time—by deliberately taking ownership of each one of the 86,400 seconds you’ve been granted every day.

The precious moments of your day are yours and yours alone to steward.

Never waste a single moment of time. 

Don’t let people waste one second of your day.

Use your time like money. Invest it in those things that will yield the highest return. Budget it hour by hour. Assign your time to activities that pay high dividends.

Be specific. Don’t spend time; invest time.

Invest your time in pursuing your dreams.

Show me the empty garden of a man’s soul and I will show you a man who has never cultivated his time.

Show me the emptiest hearts with the hopes for their future dashed against the rocks of bitterness and regret and disillusionment and I will show you individuals that spent their time but never invested it.

The poorest and most obscure have never invested time in building their wealth.

How have you invested each moment of your day?

 

What are you using each hour of your day doing? Have you invested your time wisely?

Pour every ounce of your energy and time into making your dreams a reality, because God has given you the resources to do it.

You have to invest time in everything in order to be successful at anything.

If you want to have a successful relationship, you must invest time.

If you want to build a healthy home, you must invest time,

If you want a healthy marriage, you must invest time.

If you want a healthy body, you must invest time.

If you want great friendships, you must invest time.

If you want a greater salary, you must invest time.

If you want a great ministry, you must invest time.

You have to invest time in developing your reputation.

You have to invest time in the things that will bring you success.

Invest time in writing your vision, developing your goals, reflecting on your experience, thinking about what you really want in life; in planning, strategizing, organizing, praying…

Whatever you invest your time in, you will yield a return in that thing.

If you invest time in nothing, you will yield a return of nothing.

How you invest the moments of your day is as valuable as the money in your bank account.

The secret of your success is hidden in your daily routine…in your daily habits.

What you do in every 24-hour period determines what you end up with at the end of the week, at the end of the month, at the end of the year.

“So teach us to number our days,

That we may gain a heart of wisdom.”

Psalm  90:12

Use your time to determine whether you will be sick or healthy, rich or poor, happy or sad, strong or weak, employed or unemployed, educated or uneducated…time is no respecter of persons or purpose.

God has given you this day to use as you will.

Your destiny is attached to how you invest your time.

Where you end up tomorrow is based on what you do with the seconds, minutes, and hours of today.

Make every day count. Maximize every moment. For this is the day the Lord has made—and time and opportunity are given to us all.
