Episode 272-Intentional Choices

We all know that if we want anything in our lives to change we have to intentionally make different choices. We have to change the way we’ve done things for years. If we continue eating the same way we always have, we will either stay the same or continue to gain weight.

If we don’t add some intentional times of exercise, we will likely not lose weight even if we are eating healthy. If we don’t forgive issues in our past that have us stuck in the cycle of eating to overcome emotional issues we won’t change our situation. If we don’t change our minds we won’t change our behaviors.

So the big question is how do we make intentional choices that lead to a permanent change in our behaviors?

God wants to help us create the intention to make the right choices so that our desires are aligned with His desires.

Episode 271-Thoughts Have Power

What kind of mind games do you allow to take residence inside you? One of the biggest mind games I allowed was that I have to act on every directive that enters my mind. This is a lie that the evil one loves to perpetuate.

The devil and demons do have power to speak to humans, but not to read our minds. The devil and demons can speak to us. The devil can anticipate what we will do in a given because of his knowledge of humankind and of each of us. Yes, the devil knows us better than we know ourselves, luckily so does God!

Episode 270-Write the Vision

“Write the vision. Make it plain so that those who read it will run with it.”

Habakkuk 2:2

What is your vision? What is your message? What is the passion that grabs your heart? What do you desperately want people to know?

Make it plain.

Be sure people understand what you are saying. Use scripture. Make it real. Make it known. Don’t write something no one understands.

So those who READ. Nothing happens unless someone reads what you’ve written. Show don’t just tell. Make readers cry or laugh. Incorporate God moments.

Will Run With It

If you engage your readers they will want to tell others about your book. Provide at least one sensory detail, color, sounds, smells, textures, tastes, seasons, locations, sight, sound, smell, taste, touch in all your chapters and encounters between characters.

Make sure there is both conflict and character transformation in your book. Without these, there is no story.

In the end, writing a book is not about money, fame, or star status, it’s about the message. However, you never know when your first book just might make it to be a #1 Bestseller. Plan for it. Believe it. And then leave in God’s Hands to show you what to do next.
