God’s Point of View

“When you change your thinking and your HABITS, you will change your life.” Dr. Randy Peck
How do you hear from God?
Yes, the LORD has done amazing things for us! What joy! (Psa. 126:3; NLT)
Monday morning I finished the series on the nine irrefutable laws. This isn’t intended to be a review, but Monday’s DG ended with the statement, “How about installing some habits that serve you and serve those around you?” That thought came from the observation that in order to bring about life change, there must be a consistent and continuous application of those laws. Toward that end, I proposed that they needed to become habits.
One of the earlier laws was the Law of Attractions which says, “We attract into our lives the people and situations that are in harmony with our own thoughts or feelings.” About that particular law, I wrote, “Feeling down or discouraged? Change your thinking. Feeling some negative ‘vibes’ toward someone? Change your thinking …Feeling some negative ‘vibes’ from someone? Change your thinking…and watch how fast their thoughts toward you begin to change.”
I’d like to propose that the very best way to change your thinking toward a person, place, or thing is to adopt God’s point of view toward that person, place, or thing. I can hear it now, “Yeah! Sure! How do I do that?” And my response would simply be, “Ask Him!” Oh boy! this is really getting deep now. Well, not really. Hang with me for a couple more minutes.
This past summer, Dr. Randy Peck and I developed a 5-week, 35-day on-line course in journaling with a special emphasis on understanding your life purpose or destiny. This course is an exciting combination of two of the most significant learning experiences I’ve been blessed with in my life, i.e., journaling as a means of engaging in a two-way dialog with God, and coaching with a specific emphasis on the “discovery” of one’s life purpose and destiny. The course was a smashing success which exceeded our best hopes.
Here’s what two of the participants had to report:
(1) Dan Paulsen wrote, “What a blessing! Journaling and using The Journal is revolutionizing my life.” Dan is a certified human behavior consultant and a life and business coach.
(2) Matt Gregory said, “Probably the biggest benefit for me is just, I got focused again on what my unique life purpose is and mission is to be and started once again tying in my daily habits and responsibilities to those things. It has given me more focus on my work. It has given me more energy to be excited about those things.” Matt is a church planter and Randy’s pastor.
The main purpose of this course is to change your life by help you break through in various areas of your life and function at a much higher level. We have seen what we believed true all along…the combination of coaching and journaling will change your life and result in dramatic breakthroughs.
Today at noon (EDT), Randy and I are hosting an introductory webinar about the 5-week Journaling 201 course titled, “UNCOMMON Journaling for Destiny. Both Pastor Matt and Dan Paulsen will be guests on the call to share their testimonies first hand. Even if you are not available, you can receive a link to the recorded webinar if you register.

Hope to see you there.
