Your Daily Blessing » Breakthroughs

New Horizons Of Opportunities

Dr. Joseph Peck — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 10:55:27 +0000

There are times in our lives when God strings together a most unusual set of circumstances to really get our attention to learn a critical life lesson, form a new habit, or change our life coarse. I call these ATTENTION GRABBERS. Let me share an example of an EXTRAORDINARY attention grabber.

On the night of Sunday June 8, 2008 I went to bed around midnight and chose not to set my PDA alarm. I woke up around 6:25 AM the next morning (June 9) to use the bathroom and then lay in bed for about 10 minutes resting and reflecting before finally getting up. When I got up, I immediately came to my office, knelt down, and prayed. After that, I began journaling on my computer.

The first thing I was prompted to do was write a message titled “Are you seeking BREAKTHROUGHS in your life?” to send to my Your Daily Blessing followers in two days (on March 11). The key scripture I had chosen was Habakkuk 2:2 – Then the LORD answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it.”

Next, Holy Spirit prompted me to help Dr. Jerry Graham prepare a Daily Gram (e-blast) for him to send to his 800 or so followers on Wed June 11 about the introductory journaling webinars (“UNCOMMON Journaling for Breakthroughs”) we were promoting together. The purpose of those was to spark interest in the 5-week UNCOMMON Journaling For DESTINY online coaching program we were launching live on June 17 and 18.

When I accessed Jerry’s Constant Contact (email marketing) account to post the message I had prepared, I discovered to my surprise that Jerry had already prepared an outstanding message titled “Journaling as Communion with God” using the exact same scripture verse I had chosen – Habakkuk 2:2.

In his message (upcoming email), Jerry mentioned that the two of us were teaming up to do a 5-week, 35-day on-line course in journaling (UNCOMMON Journaling For Destiny) with a special emphasis on understanding your life purpose or destiny. He went on to say this was an exciting combination of two of the most significant learning experiences he had been blessed with in his life, namely 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.

Jerry went on to write, “Over 25 years ago, I was taught to journal as a means of hearing God’s voice by Dr. Mark Virkler, who has since become a good friend and ministry colleague. Mark developed a seminar that he continues to teach to this day around the world, called ‘Communion With God’.” I recommend you CLICK HERE to read Jerry’s entire email message. Jerry is one of the most experienced DESTINY coaches in the world.

Jerry’s email (that he hadn’t even sent out yet) prompted me to call Dr. Mark Virkler later that afternoon (June 9). This was the very first time I had ever spoken to or met Mark Virkler and what he shared was so inspiring. I discovered that Mark is one of the top teachers in the world about spiritual journaling. As I was showing Mark how I journal online and shared the amazing story about Habakkuk 2:2 from that morning, Mark told me Habakkuk 2:1-2 is the foundational scripture for his Communion With God Ministries.

Now that grabbed my attention. 3 times in one day the LORD brought the same scripture (Habakkuk 2:2) to my attention and from 3 different sources. So I was all ears as Mark shared his profound wisdom and insights with me. And Mark promptly followed up our conversation by sending two emails, including one titled “You Can Hear God’s Voice!”

Early the next morning (Tuesday June 10), I woke up with Holy Spirit’s instruction to immediately apply Mark’s “4 keys to hear God” and also design a new computer desktop image with those 4 keys. After typing my prayer with a 2-way dialog with God, I was astonished with the result – a deeper intimacy with the LORD.

It’s interesting to note that Holy Spirit had actually prompted Jerry to refer me to Mark two weeks earlier knowing we were soon launching our journaling course because he knew Mark well and that he was one of more experienced journalers in the world. However, as most of us frequently do, I failed to seize the opportunity at that time.

How many times have you missed GOLDEN OPPORTUNITIES because of failure to act in a timely fashion?

Prayer Power
LORD, you want each of us to learn to hear Your voice because You love us and have specific instructions to give us each day – not vague thoughts, but specific things You want us to know and to do. You know what works and what doesn’t. You want to take each of us to an entirely new level of abiding in You. You want us to experience Your love like never before. You want us to know that You’re not just here beside us, but You’re here to answer questions that we have. You have been waiting. Teach each of us to hear Your voice by applying Mark Virkler’s 4 simple keys. Thank You Jesus. Amen.

Blessings to learn to hear God’s voice by applying Mark’s 4 simple keys!

Hi Mark,

Last night I went to bed at 11:05 PM and chose not to set my PDA alarm. The Holy Spirit woke me up around 4:10 AM. I lay in bed wide awake for about 15 minutes and then got up at 4:20 AM, knowing I was to immediately apply your 4 keys. I have attached my new desktop background image (with your 4 keys) and my prayer from this morning. These will be an UNCOMMON blessing to you. Thank you for speaking LIFE into my life.

Blessings for divine provision!

Randy (Joseph) Peck’s two-way prayer from June 10, 2008 sent to Mark Virkler

Heavenly Father, here I go, writing out my spontaneous prayer early in the morning. I’m so excited to get back to what I’ve known for quite a while You want me to do. Forgive me for allowing all sorts of distractions to get in the way of this magnificent habit. Thank You for Your attention grabber yesterday with Habukkuk 2 and the UNCOMMON connection to Mark Virkler and his UNCOMMON message.

Thank You for waking me up early this morning knowing You wanted me to change my desktop background to include an image of Jesus, Mark Virkler’s 4 keys to hear from God, and Habukkuk 2:1-3. Thank You for each image of Jesus You led me to. Thank you Holy Spirit for using me as Your instrument to design the new image using Photoshop. I love it.

Jesus, I see You and hear You saying “You want to dine with me this morning and each day. You’re certainly welcome here in my home and wherever I go. I hear You saying “You want to start having two way conversations instead of one way ones. I hear You saying You’ve been waiting for this moment for so long.” I hear You saying “You’ve been knocking on the door of my heart – that You have the answers to the problems I’ve been facing and that the solutions are very simple. You have solutions to my financial difficulties.”

I hear you saying “Mark Virkler’s web page for Outstanding Links” is full of prospects and new contacts for you – people who have been waiting years to have God connect you to them.” I hear You saying, “Bless Mark – to open new vistas for him through social marketing.”

VISION: I see NEW HORIZONS OF OPPORTUNITIES opening for Mark as He steps into the Internet space age. I see Mark standing at the beach looking out at the ocean while a magnificent sunrise takes place. I see Mark fall to his knees and start to cry. This is what he has been waiting for. This is his MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH. I see people – lots of people starting to run up and surround Mark on the beach. So many people coming. They’ve been waiting to meet Mark. They want to just be near him. They want to learn from him. O God, I’m overwhelmed with what You are showing me. I’m overwhelmed by the joy on so may people’s faces.

Now I see the people around Mark beginning to sit down. Mark is starting to speak to them like You did, Jesus, for Your sermon on the mount. Now the people are eating while they listen. This is one of the most beautiful picnic scenes I have ever seen. So many people. Now more are coming. People are hungry for Your Word. They want to hear from You Jesus. This is what they’ve been waiting for. Overwhelming. Joy. Delight. Free thought. Freedom.

Now I hear You saying Jesus that “You want me to take everyone who signs up for Jerry and my 5 week online journaling course to go through something similar – to learn to hear God by following Mark’s 4 keys.”

I’m so excited. Thank You Jesus for showing this to me.

I hear You saying “You are going to open Mark’s eyes to the new horizons that WEBINARS will open for him. Not just doors, not just gates, but horizons of opportunities. I hear You saying “COVENANT with Mark!!!” You have knit our hearts together. You have been patiently waiting for this moment – for this opportunity to advance the Kingdom of God through the combination of journaling, coaching, and the web.

Praise be to God. Hallelujah. I receive. I will send this prayer to Mark this morning as You are telling me.

Now I see myself lying down to rest. You’re telling me go back to bed. Lay down. You’ve been obedient. My glory is upon You. People will be attracted to You because You will have the “AROMA OF CHRIST.” What you offer will be irresistible to so many people. Rest now. Rest. Peace be with you. My peace. Thank You for dining with me. I’ve really enjoyed this. Now you get it. It’s so easy. I’ve been waiting to have Mark teach you. You will never be the same. Thank You for your obedience – your UNCOMMON obedience. Thank You for acknowledging Me everywhere You go.

Jesus, I hear You say, “Cut and paste a specific verse from Proverbs 3 here now.”

Proverbs 3:6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

Thank You for directing my paths. You’ve gotten me here. I’m Yours – all Yours. Dead to myself. Alive in You – only in You.

Jesus, I’m going to email this prayer to Mark now along with the background image for my desktop You helped me design this morning. Then I’ll go to bed. Thank You for being my good Shepherd – my friend. I love You. I bless You.

Randy,

Wow! You really go for it!

Your new logo is great!

Your journaling is great!

You can take one more step with your journaling…

Journaling is two lovers sharing love… speaking back and forth.

So you can write in the first person, as Jesus speaking directly to you and calling you by name. He will say, “my son, I want to you know…” so He is speaking in the first person to you… rather than the way you have it written… “I hear you saying that…”

It is just one more step of faith for you to take… not a hard thing… it will come naturally.

You really should read our books “how to hear God’s Voice” and Dialogue With God.” And perhaps order the CD’s also on How to Hear God’s voice.”

You can listen to free downloads of me teaching on these four keys… free downloads at
http://www.cwgministries.org/Four-Keys-to-Hearing-Gods-Voice.htm

And your desktop creation.

Is that something we can upload to our website as a free download. Is that a screen saver image people could download and use on their desktops??? Excuse my ignorance.

And if we can do that, could you unsmoosh some of the works that got smooshed together and send me a finalized version we could put on our web and I could put on my computer.

And if there are ways you can help us spread this message faster to the world, I am all ears. My commission is to saturate the earth with the ability to hear God’s Voice.

Hi Mark,

Thank you for the encouragement and further coaching to improve my prayer time.

I will order the books and CD’s you recommend.

You are welcome to use the desktop image that the Holy Spirit helped me create this morning as a free download on your website. That is an amazing gift from above to bless not only me, but many people in your network. I recommend your son schedule an appointment with my graphics artist (JJ) to work out the details for modifying the image and get things just the way you want. To do so, email my Admin Assistant. Currently we have a few spots available on Mon June 16.

Regarding helping you spread your message to the world, I recommend we schedule a meeting with you, your son, Jerry Graham, and me for the week of June 23-27. Please let me know 2 dates and times you are available that week.

Blessings,
Randy

On June 18, 2008 the morning after the very first “UNCOMMON Journaling for Destiny” class, I began the “daily” habit of applying Mark’s 4 keys to hear from God. Here is what Jesus told me in response to the Day #1 destiny question:

Day 1 Question
Lord, why do You want me to learn to hear Your voice?

Because I love You and I have specific instructions to give You each day – not vague thoughts, but specific things I want you to know and to do. Randy, I know what works and what doesn’t. I want to take you to an entirely new level of abiding in Me. I want you to experience My love like never before. I want You to know that I’m not just here beside You, but I’m here to answer questions that You have. I’ve been waiting.

All the things you’ve been praying and waiting for, I want to make happen. It was Me who put those desires in your heart. But first you had to learn to hear My voice. I know what order You are to do things, when You are to do things, what to do, and what not to do. I’m not a vague God. Just as you want your children to know clearly what you want them to do, so I want You to know clearly what I want You to to. I love You Randy. I want You to be married to Me, not just engaged. I can use you because You have a heart after my own heart. I’ve been preparing You. The time in NOW. Behold I do a new thing. My glory is upon You. My favor is upon You.

Jesus, I’m overwhelmed. This morning as I reflected back on yesterday, I realized all the breakthroughs that happened in just that one day. Then this morning, I have one of the most awesome days of my life. When Amy told me the Holy Spirit kept nudging her to pay for Beth Spangler, I was so grateful. Beth has been looking for and waiting for a friend like Amy for years. Thank You Jesus. Thank You.

Randy, this journaling course is more for you than it is for the participants. When I had Matt Gregory and Ben Stewart sign up as the first two people in the “UNCOMMON Journaling for Destiny” course, that was huge. You see, I’ve brought them into your life to be in covenant relationship with you for life. The greatest habit I have blessed you with is journaling and now I want to have you bless them with that habit. I want to take them to a much deeper abiding in Me. I want them to learn to hear My voice. Thank You, Randy, for obeying my recent instruction to listen to Julia.

Randy, another reason I want You to hear my voice is because I want You and Mark Virkler to be in covenant relationship with one another. Mark will open doors for prominent church and ministry leaders. You will meet Dr. Yonghi Cho in 2008. I’ll let you know when. Prepare your devotional message now. Thank you for dining with me again. When you’re ready, come back. I’ll be here.

Note: On February 27, 2010 I officially began using my middle name (Joseph) instead of my nickname (Randy) per the LORD’s instruction.

Sunday Morning Inspirations: SHARE

Dr. Joseph Peck — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 00:55:40 +0000

Are you spiritually constipated?

It’s been my observation that many Christians are. They keep taking more and more in, but let little or nothing outIt’s been my observation that many Christians are. They keep taking more and more in, but let little or nothing out. Or else they aren’t sharing nearly as often or with as many people as God wants them to.

Sharing your God stories with the world is like a dam breaking to release God’s reservoir of living waters. The more you share, the more God’s fresh living waters can flow through you into other people’s lives.

What makes you UNIQUE from anyone else in the world is your STORY. And every day, every week, your story is evolving. People can argue with your beliefs and your doctrine, but no one can argue with your story. It is what it is.

BLOGGING to share your God stories is like the Samaritan woman at the well on steroids. Your blog is an online journal shared with the world. And a blog makes it easy to share images, audio, video, and more along with your written stories.

According to Jim Rohn, known as America’s business philosopher, keeping a journal is one of three treasures to leave behind for the next generation. The other two are your photos and your library – books, CD’s, etc that helped shape you into who you are. Jim wrote, “If you’re serious about becoming a wealthy, powerful, sophisticated, healthy, influential, cultured and unique individual, keep a journal.”

I’m addicted to journaling to record how God is moving in my life and around me and then sharing those stories with the world via blogging and webinars.

So what? What does this have to do with you?

INFLUENCE! INFLUENCE! INFLUENCE!

“Leadership is influence – nothing more, nothing less!” – Dr. John Maxwell

Holy Spirit is calling you to step up to the plate and swing for a home run or a grand slam. He is inviting you to an UNCOMMON opportunity to magnify your impact 30, 60, and even 100 fold in just 12 months.

This past week, I hosted two highly inspirational webinars with Nancy Slocum. Neither was on my radar screen at the start of the week.

The first on February 3 was called “Making Kingdom Connections Through Blogging.” Tomorrow, I’ll be sending a link to that recorded video for those of you who registered for that webinar.

The second webinar held on February 5 was titled “Leverage Your Life With Blogging.” In retrospect, that was profound for the Kingdom of God.

CLICK HERE to watch that recorded video.

Blessings to choose to SHARE your God stories with the world and partner with other like-minded people!

You’re invited to “I Was Busy – Now I’m Not!” webinar

Dr. Joseph Peck — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 17:32:39 +0000

This past Sunday morning (Jan 23), I unexpectedly ended up in a new life group at Soul Purpose Church with my wife titled “I was broke – Now I’m not!” This teaching relates to being a godly steward with your money (Treasure).

While watching the DVD video with 8 other people, Holy Spirit prompted me to launch something similar this week titled “I was busy – Now I’m not!” My webinar (and corresponding 4-module series) will teach you how to BE a godly steward of your TIME.

CLICK HERE to register for this life-changing webinar!

According to a best-selling author who has written more than 50 books, “Time is your most valuable possession.” I agree. Don’t you?

Joe Sangl, the author of “I was broke – Now I’m not,” says “There is no life like one that is debt free!” I agree with him and feel this applies not only to your finances, but also your time, perhaps even more so.

On Wed Jan 26 at 8 pm EST, I’m launching a brand new, 4-week webinar series titled “I was busy – Not I’m not!” The first session is free and I’d like to invite you to join me.

CLICK HERE to register for this life-changing webinar!

How much would it be worth to you if I could teach you how to free up 8 hours of your time each week for the rest of your life?

During this webinar, we’ll teach you how to redeem your gift of time by…

a) Defining the gap for your time
– Where are you now?
– Where do you want to be 12 months from now?
– How are you going to get there?
– Who is going to help you get there?
– What obstacles get in the way?

b) Discussing the Big Rocks (Priorities)

c) Sharing a few simple strategies to tell your time where to go instead of wondering where it went

Even if you can’t attend the live event, I encourage you to still register if you want to have access to the recorded webinar.

Your time is your life! When you waste your time, you waste your life.

Sunday Morning Inspirations: BE in the Moment

Dr. Joseph Peck — Sun, 31 Oct 2010 09:55:22 +0000

This past week was incredible. I’m truly experiencing God in extraordinary ways for extraordinary fruit as I immerse myself in the Word of God. The Word Warriors Audio Bible is transforming my mind, my heart, my life! It’s miraculous.

If I had to pick one word for what I’m experiencing it would be BREAKTHROUGHS. I’m experiencing breakthroughs in almost every area of my life simultaneously.

I’m getting more REST than I have in months or maybe even years. I spent lots of quality time with Julia, my wife. I spent lots of quality time with my two children and extended family. I’ve consolidated all my business appointments to 3 days each week. Each of the 5 people I am coaching weekly is experiencing major breakthroughs. God has opened a gateway (much bigger than a door) to soon begin coaching groups of 12 CEO’s at a time. During my journaling time, the Holy Spirit laid out His business plan that may allow TeamDestiny777 to be coaching 4,095 CEO’s on a weekly basis within 12 months.

Finally after years of journaling, growth, and fine tuning, I am operating in my SWEET SPOT where changing lives is almost effortless.

Only God can do something like this. It’s all of Him and none of me. The less I do, the more He does.

In 1 Corinthians 1:31 and 2 Corinthians 10:17, the great apostle Paul wrote, “He who glories, let him glory in the LORD.”

This week, …

Your keyword is DELIGHT.

Your key message is “BE in the moment (with Jesus)!”

During my 2-way journaling time on October 24, the LORD told me, “Joseph, thank you for setting aside this time early in the morning to meet with Me. I AM the way, the truth, and the life, not just one time, but every day, moment by moment! Seek Me and My counsel throughout the day. Fill yourself with My Word to BE transformed by the renewing of your mind. I AM love. Abide in Me and let My Words abide in you and My love will pour forth from you.”

Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, BE there. Don’t be thinking about other things to be doing and other places to go. BE in the moment with whatever or whom ever the LORD has assigned you at that moment. Giving someone you’re undivided attention is one of the greatest gifts you can ever give.

LISTEN! ASSESS! STRATEGIZE! When you’re doing something or with someone, ask Jesus questions such as, “How can I bless this person? What do You want me to receive from this? How can I do this better? What do You want me to learn from this situation?”

Your key scripture is Psalm 37:4 – Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.

Meditate on Isaiah 58:14 – “Then you shall delight yourself in the LORD; And I will cause you to ride on the high hills of the earth, And feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father. The mouth of the LORD has spoken.”

I invite you to sign up for Revolution, the latest “40 Day Fast From Wrong Thinking” series by Pastor Gregory Dickow. In his Day 12 message, Pastor Dickow writes:

“1) True prosperity IS the presence of God with us. Therefore, it’s always God’s will for you to prosper, because it’s always God’s will to BE WITH YOU!

2) Success always comes! Since ‘success’ and prosperity are the overflow of meditating on God’s Word, then it’s always His desire for you to succeed. (Psalm 1:1-3, Joshua 1:7-8)

3. Understand God’s ‘ABOVE ALL’ desire for YOU. 3 John 2 says, “Beloved, I wish ABOVE ALL THINGS that YOU mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospers.” (KJV)

What are your thoughts? I’d like to hear on the YDB blog.

Prayer Power
Heavenly Father, none of us have the promise of tomorrow. Today, right now, is all we have. So help us to cherish the memories of life as we live moment by moment with You, in You, for You. Help us to be good stewards with our time by being in the moment. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.

Blessings to BE in the moment!

My Most Important Workout

Dr. Joseph Peck — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 13:47:26 +0000

Yesterday during the worship service at Soul Purpose Church, Pastor Matt Gregory preached what I considered one of his best sermons. His message was titled “My Most Important Workout.”

Matt compared taking care of your spirit consistently like you take care or your physical body. He emphasized the importance of journaling to REMEMBER and to record your journey with God. He talked about the value of 2-way journaling.

Here is an outline of Matt’s message:

1) Check my spiritual breathing
a) Exhale – Confess sin (1 John 1:9)
b) Inhale – Ask to be filled with the Holy Spirit (Eph 5:18)
c) Permission Prayer – “Whatever You tell me to do, I’ll do.”

2) Read/Listen to the Bible

Hebrews 4:12a – For the word of God is LIVING and powerful

a) Realize God is speaking to you as you read.

The Bible is more like a love letter than a manual for life.

“The Bible is not something that leads to a connection with God. It is the connection with God.”

b) Read 1-4 chapters daily as you systematically read through the Bible.

3) Journal – Write out the completion of these statements:
a) The most meaningful statement or verse that I encountered today is …
b) Today, God I hear you saying to me: “[Your name], …”
c) In response to You, God, I want to …

4) Memorize scripture (Joshua 1:8)
a) Write out th most meaningful verse of the day on a 3×5 card
b) Read the verse out loud 10 times each day
c) Repeat; Repeat; Repeat
d) Share this verse with someone else today!

5) Pray to God – Writ out your prayers to God.

6) Praise God!
a) Tell God how great He is!
b) Thank Him for what He has done!

COMMITMENTS
1) When am I going to meet with God EACH day?
2) Where am I going to meet with God EACH day?
3) How long am I going to meet with God EACH day?
4) What resources do I need to meet with God EACH day?

Prayer Power
Heavenly Father, I want to draw closer to You. I want to spend more time in Your holy temple, dwelling under the shadow of Your wings. Help me with my spiritual breathing, meditating on Your holy Word morning and night, and praying to and praising You more consistently. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.

Blessings to honor God in your most important workout!

Secrets of Achievement and Change (Special Inside) …

Dr. Joseph Peck — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 11:35:21 +0000

Do you have something you want to change or achieve in your life? Maybe you’d like to…

=> establish a healthy daily and weekly ROUTINE
=> be a better STEWARD with your Time, Talent, Treasure (finances), or Temple (body)
=> SLOW DOWN the hectic pace of your life
=> live your life with greater PASSION, PURPOSE, and JOY
=> LEVERAGE your life (double your impact with half the effort)
=> start a business
=> rev up the business you already have
=> get a new career (or a raise)
=> improve your marriage
=> get your child(ren) to behave better
=> increase your income to take more meaningful vacations with your spouse and family
=> have more quality time to spend with your family
=> uncover hidden challenges that may be sabotaging your relationships
=> improve your fitness or lose weight
=> or something else

No matter what you’d like to change or achieve, the secrets to success are the same…

#1: Get clear. As specifically as possible, decide what you want. The more clear you are on what you want to have in your life, the more likely you are to achieve it.

#2: Get perspective. Most people don’t tell anyone what they want or what they are struggling with and because of that they don’t get an outside perspective.

#3: Get support. Very few people (if any) achieve anything great alone. Sports stars have teammates and coaches. Be willing to ask the people in your life to support you.

I Stand Amazed

Dr. Joseph Peck — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 22:20:43 +0000

Wow! What an awesome experience The Father’s Blessing webinar was on March 18, my birthday. This was my favorite birthday gift ever because it wasn’t for me, but rather for the entire world. As Dennis Jernigan sings to God, “I stand amazed in all of Your glory.”

http://thefathersblessing.net

Despite having only two days to promote the event, we had 119 people register for the webinar, including people from 9 countries and 22 states. The actually tally of countries and states was probably higher because 36 people didn’t enter their country or state which was voluntary.

Just before the start of the webinar, Abigail (formerly Nancy) Slocum sent me an email with a profound prophetic message about the significance of the webinar. We had her share that at the beginning.

Shortly after the webinar was over, Dr. Bruce Cook sent me two emails. In his first, he wrote, “The 2 words I am hearing about the call are ‘ignition’ and ‘detonation’.”

In his second email, Dr. Bruce Cook wrote, “Now I am also hearing ‘lift off.’ Holy Spirit is saying there was lift off tonight, that the Kingdom Keys webinar series has been launched and there was ignition in the Spirit.”

“Now the Kingdom Keys book can come forth. I see a vision of an old large tall building being blown up with explosives and falling down. God says I have detonated the old ways and the old mindsets and the old patterns and the old season tonight and removed their very presence from my people and am even tonight blotting out their memory, and sleep shall be sweet tonight and tomorrow things will be different and fresh and new and the people will be new and different, for I have erased what was past and have resurrected what was dead and have relaid the foundations in my people, and removed the veils and the scales and revealed the beautiful precious child within that is fearfully and wonderfully made who is valuable and special and unique and whose future and destiny is bright and God-sized. I have turned the tables on the enemy, says God and I have beaten him at his own game.”

The unsolicited testimonies of attendees have been extraordinary and keep pouring in. I personally have already received 15 emails praising the webinar. One lady offered to transcribe the webinar for free. Here are a few other excerpts:

“I feel like a brand new person today Dr. Cook my mind is free my heart and my vision is clear again.”

“I loved ‘The Father’s Blessing’ webinar! It truly blessed me, and I called my father, had my computer on speaker, the phone on speaker, and he and my stepmother listened as well. They too were very blessed.”

“The webinar was such an eye opener and even though it lasted from 12 Midnight to 1.30am UK time, I did not want it to end. Please do you have a book on this? I would like to share this revelation with everyone I know. I would like to help promote the book. Also, would you please consider coming over to the UK and perhaps Africa? I would really love for everyone to know about this revelation. I also know of Christians as far as in India that would love to know this truth.”

If you missed the live event, the good news is that you can watch or listen to the recorded webinar and receive The Father’s Blessing yourself.

http://thefathersblessing.net

You can also bless your friends by referring them.

I am praying and believing at least 1,000 people will listen to the recorded webinar by the end of March and at least 10,000 – 100,000 by then end of 2010. This is exciting.

Prayer Power
Heavenly Father, thank You for the extraordinary blessing you pronounced on people all over the world on my birthday. Thank You for Dr. Bruce Cook’s UNCOMMON obedience in coming alongside of me to share his gift and anointing. Thank You for the opportunity for tens of thousands and even hundreds of thousands of people to watch the recorded webinar in 2010. Thank you for this awesome launch of the new webinar series “The Kingdom Keys – VISION CASTING webinars for the next decade.” I stand amazed in all of Your glory.

Blessings to receive the Father’s Blessing and then share it!

Day #8 of 30 Days to Breakthrough – BE Outstanding!

Dr. Joseph Peck — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 10:55:29 +0000

Welcome to Day #8 of your “30 Days To Breakthrough” journey.

Yesterday we completed the 7 day series about Stewarding Your Time.

Today we begin a new 7 day series about Stewarding Your Talent.

Here is a summary of what we will cover in the next 7 days:

Day 8 – BE Outstanding!
Day 9 – SIMPLIFY
Day 10 – Live On PURPOSE
Day 11 – Think BIG And Act Small
Day 12 – SHARE Your Blessing
Day 13 – Join A MASTERMIND TEAM
Day 14 – LEVERAGE What You Have

QUOTE
“People fire organizations!” – John G. Miller

LESSON
Have you ever been fired before by any of your clients? I have. And it’s not fun. As I reflect back on previous business failures, I recognize a common thread – I failed to BE Outstanding!

On February 4, 2010, my son Robbie and I had the privilege of hosting a webinar with John G. Miller titled “Outstanding! 47 Ways to Make Your Organization Exceptional.”

John is a world leader in teaching about personal accountability and has written 3 books about that subject, including:

1) “QBQ! The Question Behind The Question”

2) “Flipping The Switch: Five Keys to Success at Work and in
Life”

3) “Outstanding! 47 Ways to Make Your Organization
Exceptional”

When you learn to BE Outstanding, you will draw the market to you rather than pushing it away.

The principles in John’s book Outstanding! apply to each of us because we all have the opportunity to be outstanding in our own spheres of influence. One person can make a difference. You can make a difference.

Think of how this world would be transformed if each one of us embraced and practiced the mindset of personal accountability as John Miller presents in his books and demonstrates in his own life!

Let’s do as the great apostle Paul commands in Colossians 3:23, “And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men.”

QUESTION (write down what comes to your heart)
Lord, what action step can I take this week to BE outstanding?

PRAYER
Heavenly Father, thank you for the talents you have blessed me with. Teach me to BE Outstanding in what I do at home, at work, and elsewhere. May my attitude toward people be pleasing to you. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.

Blessings to BE Outstanding!

Day #1 of 30 Days to Breakthrough – Redeeming The Time

Dr. Joseph Peck — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 10:55:04 +0000

Welcome to Day #1 of your “30 Days To Breakthrough” journey. When you change your thinking, you change your life.

For the next 7 days, we’ll be addressing the issue of Stewarding Your TIME. Today’s topic is “Redeeming The Time.”

Here is a summary of what we will cover this week:

Day 1 – Redeeming The Time
Day 2 – Slowing down
Day 3 – The importance of HABITS
Day 4 – PRIORITIES
Day 5 – Clear written GOALS
Day 6 – Benefits of keeping a journal
Day 7 – Leaving a rich legacy through journaling

Before we get started with today’s lesson, let me ask you:

Did you write the following on 3 little pieces of paper or sticky-notes and post those in prominent places you see frequently?

“Starting _____________ (date), I commit to journal every day for the next 30 days to become a better steward with my Time, Talent, Treasure, and Temple (body).”

If not, do it right now. This step is critical. Don’t skip it.

OK, here are today’s quote, lesson, question, link, and prayer.

QUOTE
TIME = LIFE. If you waste your time, you waste your life. — Rick Grubbs

LESSON
On January 21, 2010, I had the privilege of hosting a webinar with Rick Grubbs, founder of Life-Changing Seminars and Redeeming The Time radio. It was by far the best presentation TIME I have ever heard. To view that video, see today’s Link of the Day.

What does it mean to redeem the time?
a) Redeem = “to rescue from going to waste”
b) Time = “the passing of life”

Why is it so important to redeem YOUR time?
a) Time is limited
b) Death is certain
c) Our use of time brings ETERNAL consequences
d) Time is not recoverable
e) Time is our most valuable earthly possession
f) We must given an account of how we spend our time

What are ways to redeem YOUR time?
a) Learn how to wake up and get up
b) Get organized
c) Identify and eliminate time wasters
d) Conquer procrastination

Here are two guiding questions to redeem your time
a) What will be the fruit of this activity in 5 years?
b) What will be the fruit of this activity in eternity?

The real key to redeeming the time is to constantly ask myself “What does God want me to do RIGHT NOW?”

QUESTION (write down what comes to your heart)
Lord, what time wasters can I start eliminating today to redeem my time?

PRAYER
Heavenly Father, thank You for the precious gift of time. Teach me to redeem the time. Help me to follow through with my commitment to read these emails and journal EVERY day for the next 30 days. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.

Blessings to use journaling to redeem your time!
