Ephesians 4:1-3 (KJV)
"I Therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace."
Weekly Success Scripture March 11, 2008
"For it is God who is producing in you both the desire and the ability to do what pleases him." - Philippians 2:13 (ISV)
Perhaps you are wondering what your God-given dream is. Your God-given dream may take the form of the question: "What is God's will is for my life?" The first step is to be aware of the fact that God is looking at something within you that you have never seen. God is looking at something you contain that you have not yet discovered.
What is God (the Holy Spirit) doing in you? He is tugging at your heart for fellowship with Him. Fellowship pleases God.
What does He want to do during that time of fellowship? He wants to reveal to you the plan He has for your life. He wants to show you the dream He has for you. He wants your desire to become agreeable to His will.
God wants to be your Partner on the journey toward the realization of your God-given dream. Your dream is simply God seeking expression through you, and God would not give you a dream if He did not also give you the ability to achieve it.
The achievement of your dream pleases God. Know that He has given you both the desire and the ability to do what pleases Him!

Week of March 4, 2008 Success Scripture
Ephesians 1:3 (NKJV) - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.
Our Success Scripture this week is telling us that God has already blessed us with everything, but it's all in the spiritual realm.
When in England at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of empire building by George Bush.
He answered by saying, "Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for Freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough land to bury those that did not return."
It became very quiet in the room.
