Do you believe in miracles?  There are miracles waiting just for you to claim. 

"I wanted everything that I might enjoy life, but GOD has given us everything to enjoy life." 

Christianity is based on a person who died and was raised from the dead.  All other religions are based on people who lived and are now dead.

The Bible may cause you to wonder about life, but it will never cause you to wander through life.  This book was written for your spirit, not for your mind.  When ever you are in doubt about life just read the instructions.  The word of GOD seeps into your mind and rises to the circumstance to which it meets when you have faith.  It was written to be studied, understood and applied.  This book is ALIVE!! 

Lordship - When you say that JESUS is LORD, it makes GOD responsible for you. 

So who's who?

• JESUS - A King, A Lord, A Savior
• Mohammad - A Prophet
• Buda - A Prophet
• Confucius - A Prophet

JESUS is the light of the world, that's a given, now people just need "SIGHT" to see the light!!

YOU - Remember you are unique and highly favored among GOD's creation.  Life is GOD's gift to you, what you do with your life is your gift to GOD. 

Are you a believer who is believable and a Christian who is Christ like?  Or are you just religious.

Revenge - The best revenge is a life well lived.  So don't worry, be happy and enjoy your life.

Resentment - We are not responsible for the things that happen to us, but we are responsible for the things that happen in us.

Logic and Wisdom - In the human mind understanding and logic are king and they are always at war with GOD's wisdom.  Knowledge without GOD only produces humans with misdirected intellect and a heart of stone.  We are ever learning but never coming to the knowledge of the truth.  2 Timothy 3:7

A song is not a song until you sing it, a bell is not a bell until you ring it, love is not put into your heart to stay, love is not love until you give it away.

GOD made each of us unique, but we spend most of our lives trying to be just like everyone else. 

Who you become is defined by what you do for others along the way.

Love Life - It's never to late to be what you might become.  Are you 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 . . . years of age?

Miracles - Don't show up where they are needed, they show up where they are expected.  Release your faith!!

Your words and your beliefs have "REAL" power in your life."  So always speak highly of yourself.

WISDOM - That which is true, right and lasting.  The only thing your enemy can use against you is your ignorance.  Develop and change your wisdom and you will change your life. 

Real Power - The ability to maximize your potential and obtain your goals.

Learn to do the most what you do the best.  When your satisfaction in something intersects with your passion for something ,  "BINGO," that's called success!

WILL - GOD's will or your will.  Which one works for you?  Thy will be done.  There is nothing wrong in the world except wrong will.  The will of GOD helps you to achieve your highest potential.

The Message - GOD is the only one that can take your mess and turn it into a message.  If you have a message, GOD will then give you a mission. 

The ARK of the Covenant

Exodus 25:10

Click HERE for other biblical references about the existence of the ARK.

Is there really an ARK of the Covenant?  Yes, according to biblical history there really is an ARK. 

So what is the ARK?  It is a sacred container that holds biblical articles.  It was commissioned by Moses to be made according to the design prophetically given to him by GOD.  It was handed down through the linage of King Solomon until it disappeared from written history. 

And what is historically reported to be in the ARK? 

• A Golden Bowl of Manna from Heaven.  GOD miraculously supplied fresh manna as food daily for those making the 40 year exodus from the land of Pharaoh.  Hey, free food everyday for 40 years, were they blessed or what!  Guess what, manna can still be found today in the same location.  And it is still called manna.

• A portion of the Rod of Aaron (Moses brother) and,

• A second set of the Ten Commandments given to Moses on Mount Sinai.  Moses broke the first set of commandments (Exodus 32:19) when he was angered by the Israelites for worshiping idols while he was away in the mountains. 

So where is the ARK of the Covenant now ??  The ARK was secretly taken to Ethiopia from Israel by King Menelek I, the son of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, when his father fell into apostate.  So knowledge of the ARK disappeared from written history for thousands of years.  This is chronicled in the KEBRA NAGAST (The Book of Kings, which picks up where the Bible leaves off in documenting the ARKS history.  It says what happened to the ARK of the Covenant after the reign of King Solomon.) 

King Menelek I (the beginning of the Solomonic line of Emperors in Ethiopia/Ancient Abyssinia).  He was raised with the knowledge of his Hebrew/Jewish roots.  As a young adult, about age 19, he returned to Ethiopia to rule as King after the death of his mother. 

He was raised as a righteous Hebrew/Jew.  His father had bestowed upon him knowledge of his divine linage and offered him the thrown of Israel because he was the eldest son.  But Prince Menelek refused and returned to Ethiopia.  His father sent with him representatives of all 12 tribes of Israel.  He made an exact replica of the ARK to send with him.   

But unbeknownst to King Solomon, the Jewish Rabbi's switched and sent with his son the real ARK when he left Israel.  It was there in the city of Axum, Ethiopia in an underground chamber across from St Mary's Church where the ARK was kept in a repository for over 3000 years.  There has been a Hebrew/Jewish presence in Ethiopia for more than 3000 years.  Every Ethiopian leader since the time of King Solomon to Emperior Haile Selassiei has been Hebrew/Jewish.

Emperor Haile Selassiei - (The end of the Solomonic line of Kings.  The last Emperor of Ethiopia.)  He too was a righteous Jew, who was a descendent of King Menelek I.  He was the 225th descendent of King Solomon and a member of Solomon's line of Judah.  He was assassinated in 1975 while imprisoned by communist officials.  Before his imprisonment and death he gave permission for the ARK to be returned to Israel. 

The ARK was returned to Israel in the early 1990's, when Israeli solders from the tribe of Levi who are the descendents of Aaron (Moses brother) in accordance with Jewish protocol, accompanied the ARK from Ethiopia back to Israel by air, after Israel paid bribes to the out going communist officials to allow the airlift of the the ARK and the thousands of black Ethiopian Falasha Jews, also called the exiles and Beta Israel, back to Israel.  The return of the Jewish people to the land of Israel in the last days is a fulfillment  of prophecy. READ MORE . . .

The Ethiopian Falasha airlifts were known as operation Moses from 1984 - 85, operation Joshua in 1985 and operation Solomon  from 1990 - 91,

Today the ARK is being secretly held somewhere in Israel awaiting the rebuilding of the new temple on the mount in Jerusalem as part of the fulfillment of prophecy, in preparation for the second coming of JESUS CHRIST. 

Preparation for the rebuilding of the temple has been in process for a number of years and continues today.  READ MORE . . .

It has been researched and documented that the new temple will be built next to the Islamic Masque in Israel on the Temple Mount.  Because Abraham was the father of two nations (the Jews through Sarah, Isaac's mother and the Muslims through Hagar, Ishmael's mother), Muslims will also obtain an inheritance of the land in Israel.

GOD WANTS US TO LIVE AN EXTRAORDINARY LIFE, BECAUSE WE ARE HIS EXTRAORDINARY MASTER PIECE.

Learn how prayer works. CLICK here!GOD does not answer to your hope, GOD does not answer a wish, GOD answers your prayer.  Prayer is never me centered, it's always GOD centered.  Prayer is getting you ready to do GOD's will. 

The strength of the prayer is not the length of the prayer.  It's not how long you pray, it's how strong you pray that gets results. 

Remember, an open heart in prayer is a bridge to the divine.  An open heart feels everything.  We will feel sadness as well as joy. 

The Bible - Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth.  This is not a good book, The Law of Success by Napoleon Hill is a good book, the Bible is the inspired word of GOD.  It is meat for men, milk for children.  It is not just a book that you read, it is a book that reads you.  The more you read it the more you change.  Those who have a Bible that is falling apart have a life that is not.  Remember the word works when you work the word.  GOD's word can't be proven, it must be experienced and believed.  Your faith is your open door to believe for yourself. 

GOD - Speaks to each of us in a whisper, HE never yells or shouts.  If it's GOD's will it's GOD's deal.  Where ever GOD guides, HE will provide.

Time - GOD's time or your time?  What time are you on?  2 Peter 3:9 

GOD's Kingdom - In a kingdom the KING is obeyed without question, there is no discussion.  In a democracy you cooperate and negotiate with the leadership.

When you petition the KING you are heard by the KING.  When you want to meet with the democratic leadership, you make an appointment. 

There is no membership in the kingdom, because you are born into the kingdom, not into a democracy. 

The Kingdom - The place created by the KING to give humans (GOD's creation) territorial rule. 

Who is the KING of the Kingdom??  G O D.  GOD alone established the laws (The BIBLE) of the kingdom.  We must then live by the laws of the kingdom. 

The Democracy - The place defined over time by wars and conquests.  In a democracy the words of the law are established by "We the people." 

Who is head of the democracy?  Who ever is in power at the time.  A kingdom and a democracy are very different.

The Laws of GOD - In the kingdom the words of the law are established by the words of the KING > GOD "I the KING." 

Remember, the law without consequence is nothing but good advice.

Peace - Create an atmosphere in your home that protects your focus so that you can achieve a higher level of success in your life.  Strive to keep the peace.

Prophecy - Histories role unscrolled. It is light in a dark place.  It warns and encourages.

Get in the place of GOD's purpose for your life and GOD's power will explode in your life!

Way of the Master.  Click HERE to learn how to "Share your life and share your faith with others."

SERVICE - The seed to greatness.  There can be no definition of a successful life that does not include service to others.

TRUTH - It will change you, but you can't change it.

FEAR - When fear knocks at your door, send faith to answer and no one will be their. 

The bigger your fear, the smaller your faith.  You have a right to be fearful, but you don't have a right to stay fearful.  GOD has given no one the spirit of fear. 

Face your fear, acknowledge it, admit that you are afraid, then identify it, understand what you are afraid of and ask GOD to remove it from your life is an elevation of your faith.

Fear ties you to an emotional state of mind that gives you what you are afraid of.  What you fear will show up in your life until you deal with it.  You choose to be fearful. 

You can choose to be fearless in the name of GOD.  Fear is the opposite of faith.  To be victorious in life you must have faith against all odds. 

Fear is one of the greatest teachers you will ever have.  But through faith, you will learn each and every lesson successfully. 

Faith is obtained by hearing the word of GOD regularly. 

VICTORY - I am a victor, not a victim, adversity did not come to stay in my life.

Atheism - Intellectual vandalism.  It takes more to believe that there is no GOD than it does to believe that there is a GOD. 

To say that there is no GOD, you are saying that you know absolutely everything.  To say that you're not sure if there is a GOD means you are an egnostic.

Champion's - are willing to do the things they hate in order to have the things they love.

But you can choose to remember the blessings in your life along the way.  Learn to do small things with great compassion and love, then follow where it leads you. 

How does GOD measure your faith?  He puts a measuring tape around your heart.  How big is your heart?

PASSION - When you want something you've never had, you've got to do something you've never done.  Find your passion and follow it. 

You will be successful in life because of who you are in GOD's eyes, not because of who you are not. 

Courage - How do you develop courage?  Stand in the face of fear and the unknown.

DUTY - Remember we humans have a GOD given duty to human kind because we genuinely care and we are concerned. 

Character - is built in calm times and revealed in hard times.  It is the inner motivation to do the right thing even when you know you won't get busted. 

Prosperity - Biblical teaching say that you should enjoy everything that GOD has put on earth.  We are born to prosper.  Religious teaching says you should sacrifice.

Ability & Endurance - Ability gets you to the top, endurance will keep you there.  Endurance is pushing through the pain to reach your goal. 

You must learn to press through the heat of your experience to survive the trails of life. 

 Let your hard earned efforts count towards what you truly love doing.  GO FOR IT! 

GIFTS - GOD gives all of us gifts, but he does not give all of us the same gifts, that's why we need each other.

Happiness - We are responsible for our own, not someone else's.  Learn to take care of yourself first.

Vision - Write the vision and make it plain.  GOD gives all of us dreams and visions for our lives.  Habakkah 2:2. 

But how do you take your dreams and visions to understanding?  FAST AND PRAY

It's who you are in the dark, when no body is looking.  It's the signature of your life.  It's up to you to develop and to protect it.  Because in all that you do, it proceeds you.

Reputation - is who you are in the light.  Before you walk into a room your reputation will proceed you.  Your reputation should be the fruit of your character. 

Caring - The world doesn't care what you know until the world knows that you care.

Bitterness - You know you are bitter when you know everything and believe nothing.

Wisdom = Knowledge + Pain.  It is the ability to discern difference.

A Vision - Will change your desert into an orchard.  Create a vision for your life.  Cultivate your mind, your body and your spirit. 

Opportunity - It is only a temporary visitor.  So learn to recognize one when you see it.

The Enemy - So who is the Enemy?  The enemy is really the "INNER ME." 

It's not what GOD can do for me, it's what GOD can do in me that counts.  That I may capture what has captured me. 

What really matters in life when it's all  said and done? Who loves us and who do  we love.

Spiritual Battles - GOD will fight your battles for you, so stop talking and just let it go. 

If you keep fighting GOD will let you come to the end of yourself until you learn to surrender.

WAR - Man's insanity on parade.  GOD did not create war, man has chosen war. 

The world is filled with ethical giants and moral and rational infants.

Race - Where there is grace there is no race.  GOD does not have different strokes for different folks.  No one wins the race of racism.

Letting go.  We don't need to learn how to let go, we need to learn how to recognize when it is gone.  Don't discuss what you want others to forget.

Self Love - When you love being with yourself in the presence of GOD, it is then that your soul mate will be drawn to you.

Change - When your frustration meets your place of pain, the brick wall is in front of you. 

Now you must now make a decision.  Just keep PRAYING to move that mountain and it will move.  If you want something you never had you've got to do something you've never done.

Set Backs - GOD can turn your set backs into a setup, so look up.

What is prayer ?  Prayer means power.  Some prayer means some power, much prayer means much power, more prayer means more power. 

Prayer is about "relationship" with GOD.  Prayer invites GOD into your life daily.  The level of relationship that you have is up to you.  Here are just a few suggestions on how to successfully offer your prayers.  2 in agreement in prayer can do more than 2 million in discord. 

Circumstances - GOD speaks to you, not to your circumstance.  Listen to what GOD is saying to you in the mist of what you are going through.

The place of GOD's purpose is the place of GOD's power and presence.  Do your best work from where ever you find yourself right now.  WE choose what we will become.   A successful life is based on a "continuous" series of positive choices and decisions, not luck.

A meaningful life is a purposeful life.  What is your passion and what are you equipped (skills, talents, abilities, experiences) to do?

When you understand what your purpose is you can maximize your leadership potential.

Memory and imagination - GOD gave you a memory to remember your past and gave you an imagination to visualize your future.  Your best and glorious days are ahead of you.

EVIL - Is powerless if the good are unafraid.

Grace - Is when GOD loves you no matter what and just because.  It's what we extend to one another, because none of us are perfect. 

But it is non condemnation by GOD, when we are willing to change our behavior.  No change, GOD's grace is null and void.

Belief - You don't know what you are made of until your beliefs have been tested.  The trying of your beliefs will reveal the true you. 

You don't have to scream or shout you just have to believe and GOD will come.

Covenant - What is a covenant?  GOD's absolute, unconditional and unchangeable promise to the human race.  It is a bond for life between two parties.

Anger and bitterness are like taking in poison and hoping that it destroys someone else.

Role Models - How do you fill a role that you had no model for?  "MENTORS."  So who are the "REAL" mentors to look up to?

• Remember, positive prayer is solution centered, not problem centered. 

• Aim your prayers at where you want to go, not at what you want to avoid. 

• Prayer gives us wisdom.  GOD wants to change us, not someone else or some circumstances that bothers us.

• Prayer starts us out on a journey of hope.  Positive prayer is getting your mind in sync with GOD's will, because GOD does not change.

• Establish a living connection with GOD by renewing your faith daily through prayer.  Day by day, prayer by prayer, it can change your life forever.

• Dedicate your life to finding GOD's purpose for your life by investing time in prayer.  Ask GOD for spiritual insight.

• Prayer provides moments of peace.  The more you pray, the more you will experience inner peace.

Analysis Paralysis - Are you scared, depressed, anxious or worried ?? 

Analysis Paralysis of our past or present situation will hold us back from enjoying the here and now.  Hey, just put it in the hands of the MAN.  Move out of your mind and take "action" by stepping out in faith.  Still don't know how?  Focus on prayer.  Start with this one. >> HERE

Intuition is the divines way of honoring your soul.  Pray and listen to yourself from within.

Aspiration is the surrendering of what you want which opens you up to have gratitude for what you do receive.

The neighbor down the street who showed you what a good neighbor was, the teacher who made a difference in your life and saw the gift in you, your best friends father who you watched go to work everyday, went to church on Sunday with his family, and invited you along because he knew you had no earthly father at home.

The fireman at the station down the block who on hot summer days would turn on the water hose and sprinkled the kids with water to cool them off. 

The policeman that use to walk around the neighborhood that you knew would protect you and others from harm. 

Your girl scout leader who took a special interest in you because your mother worked long hours and couldn't be there for you when she really wanted to. 

PRAYER -  Gets you ready to do GOD's will.  It is a direct connection to GOD.  If you only pray when you are in a crisis, then GOD will keep you in a crisis because he wants to regularly hear from you. 

Prayer is an invitation to invite GOD into your life, not just into your circumstance.  True prayer is not born out of repetition it is born of our brokenness.  Don't give up, look up! 

It's not how long you pray, it's how strong you pray.  Pray so specifically that you have no doubt that GOD answered you prayer. 

When you pray pacifistically GOD will specifically answer your need.  Prayer doesn't make faith work, faith makes prayer work.

Can you "see" the answer to your prayer?  If you can't check your level of faith.

Theology - the study of GOD.  But it is always subject to human opinion.

Religion - Is man's search for GOD's kingdom, because he has lost his way.  Religion prepares people to leave earth.  The kingdom prepares you to live on earth in abundance. 

Expectation can lead to disappointment because when you don't get what you hope for.  It is an emotional let down. 

Just remember, we are not in control.  But we can learn to control how we feel in response to our circumstance.

Social Modeling - "Fake it until you make it."  Find only successful models to emulate when you are looking for new habits and skills to be successful. 

Social modeling gives you examples that you can use to develop a new mind set on the way to discovering your personal strengths and skills for success.

Dreams - When your dreams are greater than you memories, your greatest potential is a head of you.  Your dreams are ageless.

Experience - The name you give your mistakes.

Mistakes - King Solomon said that there is not a righteous man that never sins. 

We all make mistakes, admit them, learn from them, work not to repeat them, forgive yourself and move on with your life.  

In GOD's eyes we are perfect.  GOD's power turns up in our weaknesses. 

The kingdom of GOD is love, joy, abundance and peace.  Religion teaches you to appease GOD with rituals and sacrifice.  In the kingdom, you can demand from GOD what is promised to you.  Because he promises health, wealth and what ever your heart desires.

Religion will never satisfy the human mind.  Religion is the culmination of human frustrations.  GOD did not create religion, GOD created a kingdom.

Religion allows you to be flexible enough to make GOD work for you.  You can question what takes place in religion. 

GOD gives each of us weaknesses so we can learn to trust HIM and not to believe that we know everything (Ego) or to lean on our own understanding.

GOD changes us little by little, experience by experience, day by day.  HE loves us enough to be that patient with us.

Forgiveness is a process that sets "YOU" free, especially self forgiveness.  Forgiveness allows you to move beyond the problem, issue or circumstance to a more peaceful place of inner peace. 

You can't question what takes place in the kingdom.  Religion will never solve or resolve your problems or your deepest desires.

JESUS came to return to his children that which Adam lost.  The keys to the kingdom.

TRUST - No one owes you trust, you must earn it.  When you say it mean it, if you don't mean it don't say it.

Forgiveness is not an option, it is a must.  The  longer you harbor a grudge or ill will, the more painful your life will be. 

Forgiveness doesn't make us right, it sets us free.  For your own spiritual, physical, mental and emotional health, you must forgive. 

Forgiveness moves us from alienation to intimacy and from guilt to love in the eyes of GOD.  READ MORE . . .

The place to comfort the afflicted and the place to afflict the comforted, James 4:6  A place to win and salvage souls.

But Church and ministers can not save your soul, only GOD can.  Only "YOU" can invite GOD into your life.

Unforgiveness - Is a poison that we mean for others that we ourselves end up drinking.  Don't focus on what was done to you, focus on what GOD has done for you. 

Life is a gift, and to make the most of it you must learn to forgive.  Your present is the here and now, not your past.  Learn from the experience and forgive.  Learn the lesson and move on with your life.

I'm so in LOVE and I so want to be LOVED!!!  I want to be with him/her sexually.  Hey, what's wrong with that??  Go as far as you feel comfortable if your father was sitting there looking. 

Church has nothing to do with denominations.  It is a spiritual hospital for the sickness in our souls.  From the gutter most to the utter most there is hope for all.  It is the house of the saved, but it is not the savior of those who just show up. 

It is the place to load up on spiritual truth and strength so you can face the world yet another day with fearless confidence.  It is a place to find fellowship with one another for friendship and support.  So find a place to worship. 

Going to church a minimum of 1 hour a week will add at least 10 years to your life.  Remember the people that you encounter in the house of worship from the pastor to the parishioner all have faults and weaknesses.  We don't decide to sin, we sin because we are born sinners. 

We all struggle with our sinful nature, because we just don't know what else to do.  We are all there for the same reasons, to reach our fullest potential as designed be GOD when when we hear and our impacted HIS word.  So don't judge others, less you be judged also.  

Praise is thanking GOD for what HE has done. Worship is thanking GOD for who HE is.

LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELOVE

Being loved is the most powerful motivation in the world!  Our ability to love is often shaped by our experience of love. We usually love others as we ourselves have been loved.  We all want and need to be loved, but we must also learn how to give and to receive love.

GOD is love.  But HE does not love who we are trying to be, HE love who we actually are, the sinful us too.  Remember, who we are in the dark is really who we are. 

GOD's love is unconditional.  GOD will love you whether you want HIS love or not.  HIS love can not be changed or even unwanted by you.  We don't have to do anything for HIS love.  There are no restrictions or conditions to HIS love.  HE loves us just like we are.  There are three levels of love: 

• Utilitarian Love (Conditional Love) - I won't love you unless you  . . ., I will love you only when . . ., I will love you if . . . or I will love you until. . .  When you love someone as long as they are useful to you, it's all about ME.  i.e. youthful, immature or selfish love.  Conditional love leaves us with self doubt and confusion, because we believe that we have to do something or act a certain way just to be loved.

• Humanitarian Love - When you love someone in general but not in particular. i.e. when you desire to aid people in crisis (911, Hurricane Katrina) because it is a good thing to do, and the right thing to do.

• Agape Love (Sacrificial Love) - Is unconditional love.  i.e. others centered love or in your best interest love.  It does not involve your feelings, it is a conscious decision to love no mater what.  You love someone just because.  You love someone in total, and you seek nothing in return.  This is GOD centered love. 

• This is the highest form of spiritual love expression that feeds our soul and spirit. This is love in total and is complete.  There is nothing that you can do or have to do to receive the love of GOD. 

• This is the love that each of us as humans crave and strive for in our relationships with others, but have a difficult time attaining because of our human imperfections.  You may not feel it, but just believe that it is true, and see how GOD's awesome love will change your life forever.

• Love or attention which one do you seek?

Speaking Life into a Dying Generation!!!

How to date - Most people date to marry, when you really should marry to date.  When looking for a mate most people start by showering each other with gifts to attract another in hopes of marriage.  You should marry and then spend countless years showing your love by showering each other with gifts.

DATING - LONG & SHORT TERM.  Dating is for collecting "DATA" not for mating.  Dating for the purpose of mating prepares you for divorce, not marriage.  Why? because you can't prepare for a life long commitment with short term visits.  Understanding what marriage is, is a start.  Is it sex, to fill the empty void of loneliness or marriage, which one are you focused on? 

So how do you get to know someone?  Start by getting to know who you are first.  Why would someone want to be with you? What do you have to offer in a "committed" relationship that makes you unique to the person you've got your eye on. 

There is none of us that are perfect, but here is a basic guideline for those wanting and are willing to work for success in marriage.  Here are 7 steps to a successful and happy union for men and women. 

• A man should be a believer in CHRIST.

• He should be a covenant man.  When he says yes or no, he means exactly that. 

• He must be loving by nature. 

• He must believe in prayer.  He seeks guidance from a higher power.

• He must be a leader in his home.  Respect is earned, it is not bestowed.

• He must be willing to provide for his wife and children.

• He must praise you for who you are, not put you down for who he wants you to be.

• She must be a successful mother, and willing to put her children first.

• She must have a health fear of GOD.

• She must have elevated self esteem and value.

• She must be a helper to her husband.  When you understand his needs, learn to do those things just because you love him.

• She must be supportive to the needs of her family.

• She must be morally and spiritually strong.

• Her mouth must be ruled by the law of kindness.  Then your home will be as close to heaven as you can make it.

Looking for a Life Mate and Marriage?  You need to be the right person in order to see the right person.  Marriage costs you something, you must give up something to make it work.  But the benefits far outweigh the sacrifice. 

A true fulfilling marriage is reserved for those who are willing to give of themselves unselfishly to their mate.  Marriage does not fix who you are, it magnifies who your are.  It's the differences in the relationship that makes it so good between you when they work well together. 

Marriage is not about finding the right partner, marriage is about being the right partner.  Remember love is blind, but marriage definitely will open your eyes. 

You have to be a successful "ME" before I can join you in becoming a successful "WE." 

Marriage protects men, women, children and society.  A coveted marriage is a relationship to a higher calling.  Getting married is easy, staying married is where the commitment to work on your relationship really begins.  You must have a good plan for a good marriage.

High expectation with low preparation equals frustration.

In marriage GOD sees both of you as one, not two individuals.

Happiness and fulfillment are not found in marriage, you must take happiness and fulfillment into the marriage to have marital joy.  We are responsible for the joy and happiness that we experience in life including marriage. 

Marriage is based on the principled practice of love, not on feelings.  It's not someone else's job to make us happy.  When you are happy and fulfilled, your marriage will show it.  Happily married people complete each other, they don't compete with each other.

Greatness - we don't grow great by accident, we grow great on purpose. 

Joy - Calm delight.  So how do you begin to experience joy?  Take a moment, write down what you have to be grateful for in your life. 

Then find a need and fill it, find some pain and heal it.

Winners - If you want to win you must think you can before your can.  You've got to think high to rise high.   Winners do not quit and quitter's do not win. 

Persistence always overcomes resistance.  Learn to find a way when others find an excuse.  Try, try again, and keep trying.  Look the facts in the face, have faith and try again.  Winners are built by their battles, formed by their failures and they always persevere.  Everyone falls, but great people get up. 

HATE - Only hurts the "HATER" not the "HATED."  Forgiveness frees you to move on with your life, and the person that hurt you can't hurt you anymore. 

Hate and pain will tie you to a past situation or circumstance only to control and drive your future into despair. 

They Hate Me - When you learn what people hate about you, you then know what makes you truly unique in the eyes of GOD. 

Because we are all uniquely made.  Never settle for being a copy of something that you are not just because someone doesn't like you.

• What you expect you will attract.
• The proof of desire is pursuit.
• You can never out perform the portrait that you have of yourself.
