Believing in a Supernatural Year

Notes from a recent sermon by Joel Osteen

Believing in a Supernatural Year

Just because we don't see a way, doesn't mean that God doesn't have a way.

- God can bring one opportunity across your path that can bring you to a new level. He has explosive blessing that can blast you out of debt and into abundance.
You have to get in agreement with God. He has supernatural favor and opportunities for you. God wants to do unusual things in your life.

- You need to have an expectantly down inside you. This is not going to be an average year. It's not going to be a mediocre year. Its going to be a super natural year. It's going to be a year where your going to see dreams come to pass.

When you hear this truth and God is trying to plant a new seed in your heart there is three words you need to say. "Lord I believe".
You may be in debt, but the Lord says "You're coming out". The economy may be down, but the Lord says "Your going to see super natural increase." Explosive blessings!
Well...you might say "well, I don't know how?" Zip that up and say "Lord I believe". this is your year for far and beyond favor. this is your year to see the fulfillment of your dreams. It's your year for super natural opportunities. You may not see how it may happen, but that's OK, God has a thousand different ways to bring your dreams to pass.

- Get up each day expecting Gods far beyond favor and then you'll see God show up and do amazing things in your life.

There was a lady that belonged to a church that had plans on expanding the church building. So the minister was up in the pulpit challenging everyone to give, but knowing that many didn't have anything to give he said "If God were to supernaturally bless you, would you pledge to give towards to church fund?" One lady rose her hand and said she would.
Three days later she received a phone call from a friend of hers that had just won a very large settlement in court and said to her "I feel led to give you Two Million Dollars". She said "Oh your an answer to my prayer. I'm going to give that money to the church for their building fund." A couple of weeks later the same person called the lady back and said "You know I wanted to give YOU Two Million Dollars, so since you're going to give Two Million to your church, I'm going to give you Two more Million Dollars." A couple of weeks later after that, the person that won the large court settlement received a call from her lawyers saying they had good news. That the Judge also awarded her interest and penalties that the other party had to pay in addition to what she was already going to receive of Four Million Dollars.
Notice that it all started when this lady believed God for a supernatural increase.

- My job is not the source of my income, God is is source. He is Jehovah Jirah, my provider.

Joel's mother went up to his father and asked if they could have a swimming pool. He father said "No way, we aren't getting any swimming pool". But his mom really wanted a swimming pool. Month after month, year after year his mother would go around thanking God for His goodness, thank God for that he was lining up the right with the right opportunities. Every few weeks she would ask her husband "can we have that swimming pool" and he would say "Are you out of your mind, we aren't getting any swimming pool." She kept believing God for a swimming pool. Deep down inside she had the confidence, a knowing that one day she would have that pool.
She even went outside and marked off where she wanted that swimming pool! hahahaha
One day a man and his partner came from out of state to their church service and after the service they said to Joel's dad (the Pastor of the church) Sir, we have come from out of State and we build swimming pools. We want to give you a free swimming pool! Joel's mother took her husband by the arm and said "we have to talk". Yes they got their swimming pool and didn't even have to pay for it! Which was that? Supernatural favor. God said in Psalms 37:4 If you will delight yourself in the Lord, He will give you the desires of your heart. That means if you will keep God first place, if you'll honor Him with your life, He will cause people to want to be good to you. He will cause you to be at the right place at the right time. His blessings will chase you down and over take you.

Why don't you take the limits off of God? why don't you get out of your box and say "God I am ready for your explosive blessings. I am ready for your Far and Beyond Favor."
Acts 2:25 I have pitched my tent in the land of hope. Let me ask you, where have you pitched your tent? What are you expecting this year? What are you believing for?
"Well I never get a break, I'll never sell my house, I'll never get that raise, I'll never get well."
No the problem is you've got your tent in the wrong neighborhood. You nee to pull up your stakes, pack up your belonging and come over to the land of More than Enough, the land of explosive blessings. The land of supernatural health.

-God is longing to be good to you, but you've got to get your thoughts in the right direction. None of this will happen if you don't believe.

Gen 18:14 "Is there anything too hard for me? says the Lord. do you think your dreams are too big for God to bring to pass? Get a new vision. Put on a new attitude. God is saying " I am all powerful, I can turn any situation around. God will give you your desires, even those deep down inside that you haven't told anyone, but you and God. Will you get a vision for it, will you put your faith in Him?

Sometimes we think "Well...I couldn't believe for a swimming pool, that wouldn't be right." or "God has bigger things to deal with than me getting this business off the ground." or "taking this trip over seas to see my relatives, I can't bother god with that, that's not important enough."
No God is just the opposite. God is the one that put the dream into your heart.

I know as a parent I love to do good things for my children. I love to make their day. I want you to get a a revelation of how much your heavenly Father is longing to be good to you. He wants to amaze you with his goodness. Have the attitude "Lord I believe" "God I know you want to be good to me." God wants to give you the desires of your heart.

That's what happen with Sara She was given a child way past child bearing age. She was like "who would have thought". God wants to do some "who would of thoughts" blessings in your life. You might as well get ready because God has some of these "who would of thought" blessings coming your way. You're headed for supernatural increase,, supernatural healing, super natural restoration. God wants to maze you with his goodness.

- Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
Don't try to figure it out. Only believe.

There was this little girl and she wanted a kitten really bad. She asked her mommy if she could have a kitten. Her mom told her no. But this little girl really wanted one and so she kept asking her mommy if she could have a kitten. Finally after being exasperated the mother said "OK, but only if God gives you one." The little girl not knowing any better went out into her back yard and got on her knees and prayed to God for a kitten. With the mom looking on, there falls out of the sky a little kitten a few feet away from the little girl. The mother couldn't believe her eyes. She runs out into the back yard and looks up all over and there are no over hanging trees. The little girl picked up the kitten and shows her mom and says "God gave me the kitten".
A few months later the woman discovers where the kitten came from. Three houses down the kitten was stuck up in a tree on a tree branch. The guy threw up a rope around the branch and tied the other end to his car bringing the tree branch low enough so he could get the kitten. But what happened is the tree branch got low enough to where he thought he could get the kitten and suddenly the rope slipped and the bent tree branch acted like a sling shot and that kitten flew a good 200 yards, 3 houses away. The guy felt horrible because he thought he killed the kitten and he could never find it. God moves in mysteries ways.

God has you in the palm of His hand. He knows every need, He knows every struggle, He knows every dream, every desire. God has it all figured out.
Release your faith for a supernatural year.

That is living a life of Wealth And Riches!

Loving the brethren

During our regular Saturday morning breakfast meeting, we were blessed to have Paul with us.
Paul spent 20 years in prison and became a Christian there and still is a Christian today many years later. He even was an ordained evangelist at one time. He's a fabulous brother in the Lord.
One of the things the spirit of God mentioned through him this morning was "If you can't love the brethren how can you love your enemy?"
Also he mentioned about listening to the spirit of God. That we don't listen and his whole life has been based on listening to the spirit of God.
I look forward to meeting with Paul again and getting to know him even better. I understand he carries a mean tune. ;o) Can't wait to hear him!

Is MLM a Scam?

1. Do people make money in MLM's?

A. Chris and Elizabeth Kutschera, through their company Praise Enterprises Ltd., began as Usana distributors in 1995. Under multilevel marketing plans, participants get commissions from those they recruit as distributors and for others who are subsequently brought into the fold. By 2003, the Kutscheras had built their "downline" to where they had 5,000 members under them, were earning $600,000 annually in commissions and bonuses. This generated about $20 million a year in sales for Usana.

B. Dexter Yager of Amway:

Among the big distributors are people like Chapel Hill, N.C's
Bill Britt and Charlotte's Dexter Yager.  These two men each
run networks of over 100,000 distributors and are each believed
to net over $10 million a year.

2. What is MLM http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-level_marketing

Multi-level marketing (MLM), also known as Network Marketing, is a business-distribution model that allows a parent company to market its products directly to consumers by means of relationship referrals and direct selling.

Independent, unsalaried salespeople of multi-level marketing, referred to as distributors (or associates, independent business owners, dealers, franchise owners, sales consultants, consultants, independent agents, etc.), represent the parent company and are awarded a commission based upon the volume of product sold through each of their independent businesses (organizations).

Independent distributors develop their organizations by either building an active customer base, who buy direct from the parent company, or by recruiting a downline of independent distributors who also build a customer base, thereby expanding the overall organization. Additionally, distributors can also earn a profit by retailing products they purchased from the parent company at wholesale price.

Distributors earn a commission based on the sales efforts of their organization, which includes their independent sale efforts as well as the leveraged sales efforts of their downline. This arrangement is similar to franchise arrangements where royalties are paid from the sales of individual franchise operations to the franchisor as well as to an area or region manager. Commissions are paid to multi-level marketing distributors according to the company’s compensation plan. There can be multiple levels of people receiving royalties from one person's sales.

Legitimacy

It is sometimes difficult to distinguish legal and reputable MLMs from illegal pyramid or Ponzi schemes. MLM businesses operate in the United States in all 50 states and in more than 100 other countries, and new businesses may use terms like "affiliate marketing" or "home-based business franchising". However, many pyramid schemes try to present themselves as legitimate MLM businesses.

In the most legitimate MLM companies, commissions are earned only on sales of the company's products or services. No money may be earned from recruiting alone ("sign-up fees"), though money earned from the sales of members recruited is one attraction of MLM arrangements. If participants are paid primarily from money received from new recruits, or if they are required to buy more product than they are likely to sell, then the company may be a pyramid or Ponzi scheme, which is illegal in most countries.

New salespeople may be asked to pay for their own training and marketing materials, or to buy a significant amount of inventory. A commonly adopted test of legality is that MLMs follow the so-called 70% rule which prevents members "inventory loading" in order to qualify for additional bonuses. The 70% rule requires participants to sell 70% of previously purchased inventory before placing new orders with the company. There are however variations in interpretations of this rule. Some attorneys insist that 70% of purchased inventory should be sold to people who are not participants in the business, while many MLM companies allow for self-consumption to be a significant part of the sales of a participant ^[1].

3. What is a Pyramid Scheme?

Pyramid scheme

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

The unsustainable geometric progression of a classic pyramid scheme

A pyramid scheme is a non-sustainable business model that involves the exchange of money primarily for enrolling other people into the scheme, often without any product or service being delivered.

Concept and basic models

Pyramid schemes exploit greed and gullibility. A successful pyramid scheme combines a fake yet seemingly credible business with a simple-to-understand yet sophisticated-sounding money-making formula. The essential idea is that the mark, Mr. X, makes only one payment. To start earning, Mr. X has to recruit others like him who will also make one payment each. Mr. X gets paid out of receipts from those new recruits. They then go on to recruit others. As each new recruit makes a payment, Mr. X gets a cut. He is thus promised exponential benefits as the ''business'' expands.

Such ''businesses'' seldom involve sales of real products or services to which a money value might be easily attached. However, sometimes the ''payment'' itself may be a non-cash valuable. To enhance credibility, most such scams are well equipped with fake referrals, testimonials, and information. Clearly, the flaw is that there is no end benefit. The money simply travels up the chain. Only the originator (sometimes called the "pharaoh") and a very few at the top levels of the pyramid make significant amounts of money. The amounts dwindle steeply down the pyramid slopes. Of course, the worst off are at the bottom of the pyramid: those who subscribed to the plan, but were not able to recruit any followers themselves.

Some network or multi-level marketing businesses, which sell real products and rely on the price differentials between the manufacturer's dispatch ramp and the retail counter, may verge on the borderline between ''smart'' and ''scam''. When a pyramid does involve a real product, such as Holiday Magic cosmetics in the United States in the 1970s, new "dealers" who've paid enrolling fees are encouraged, in addition to selling their products, to become "managers" and recruit more new "dealers" who will also pay enrolling fees. As the number of layers of the pyramid increases, new recruits find it harder and harder to sell the product because there are so many competing salesmen. Those near or at the top of the pyramid make a lot of money on their percentage of the enrolling fees and on commissions for the supplied products, but those at the bottom are left with inventories of products they can't sell. However, most multi-level marketing businesses are not pyramid schemes.

Pyramid schemes are not to be confused with Ponzi schemes, named after Charles Ponzi, which also rely on greed and gullibility but are quite different. In a Ponzi scheme, all new money is paid to "Mr. Ponzi" for investment in his incredibly profitable business and he distributes a portion of it to other members as "interest" or "investment income" whereas in a pyramid, money is paid to the next level upward in the pyramid.

"American Capitalism is a Pyramid scheme in the best possible way." - David Simon

Victim or Victor?

"People who consider themselves victims of their circumstances will always remain victims unless they develop a greater vision for their lives."

Stedman Graham
Speaker, Author and Educator

What do you tell yourself everyday? You know...that voice inside your head, or sometimes you speak it out when you make a mistake like "dummy", or "stupid". Self talk -how you talk to yourself. It's extremely important to talk to yourself with uplifting words, positive words. What we say to ourselves can affect our sub conscious mind. How we think of ourselves is what we are. The Bible says "As a man thinks so is he"

We can choose to be a victim of our circumstances or a victor! There's a old saying that goes "When the world hands you lemons, make lemonade." Life is not always fair, but what we make of it is in our own choosing.

Choose to be a victor and not a victim and live the life of Wealth & Riches inside and outside of yourself.

Making Your Dreams Come True

Making Your Dreams Come True
ITS TIME TO BREAK OUT OF THE JOB RUT AND ACTUALLY START MAKING SOME GOOD MONEY! Don't you agree?? What is your need or want today? Everyone has a need, a want, or a dream... What is yours? I believe most of life is what you make of it. We all have a calling on our lives to do something great. Not for just ourselves but for others also. There's a quote that goes like this: "help enough people get what they want, and you will automatically get what you want". What is on my heart is to help the single mothers of the Philippines. This may or may not be your desire, but what ever your dream is, I want to help make it come true. Just like my favorite quote by Walt Disney says "All our dreams can come true...if we have the courage to pursue them." Most dreams (to make them come true) take money, and the bigger the dream the bigger the money needed. I'd like to invite you to a unique system that uses Social Networks and is extremely affordable, especially when you consider the amount of money to be made using this!

How to Stop Smoking

Taken from someone that has had success in quitting the smoking habit here are the steps.

1. You really have to want to stop. If your only half way convinced, then it won't work.

2. One of the things smokers have a problem with when they stop smoking is something to do with their hands. Keep a bottle of water by you and sip from it when you get that urge to smoke. Water is good for you and washes your system out and gives your hands something to do besides hold a cigarette.

This has worked for the person I've talked with so well that he has not had a cigarette for over a year.

The benefits of not smoking:

* You'll feel better over all
* Your sense of smell will be sharper
* Your sense of taste will be better also
* You'll save a load of money.
