“Pursue, Overtake, and Recover All”
“How You Look at Life”

Proverbs 22:9 Matthew 6 II Kings 4 Acts 27


• How you look at life will determine how life looks at you

• When things don’t go the way you want them to go - Or when you fail – Just keep pushing

• It’s about being persistent – Doing what you have to do - Hanging in there

• It’s about pursuing, overtaking and recovering all

• Where is your focus? – What you focus on will determine your attitude

• Focus on the positive and not the negative

• Whatever attitude you except is what you become

• A person with a poor attitude is always unhappy, always frustrated, and always a human magnet for bad things

• If you don’t adjust your attitude – You will never get to where God wants you to be

• Your attitude is always under attack

• If you get a negative attitude towards any area of your life – Things will not go good for you

• Change your attitude – Change your life

• If you can maintain a good attitude – You can come out of anything

• When ever you lose something – You should be crying out saying: ”Restore”

• You are only responsible for your own attitude

• Don’t allow your neighbor and all the doubt- helpers to effect your attitude

• Whatever you are going through – Just know that it is going to be well

• Do not become distracted or give up on your dreams and visions

• The angels of the Lord are in charge

• When facing the worse times of your life – There is only one thing God need you to do

• Keep a good attitude while going through it

• Six root causes of a bad attitude:1

1. Low self-esteem
2. How you handle stress

“Pursue, Overtake, and Recover All”
“Guarding and Protecting Your Attitude”

I Samuel 30 Proverbs 22:9 Proverbs 23:7


• You need to have the appropriate mindset because you are dealing with spiritual warfare

• The enemy is working hard to defeat your purpose or your destiny that God has for you

• Satan wants to frustrate your purpose - You need to have an attitude of pursuit

• Stay in the battle until you win – The game is not over until you win

• Pursuit means: to chase, to hunt, to track down, go after or to overtake, to pass, go beyond, and to out do

• David was a man after God’s own heart – He was know as a man of war

• Don’t lose your warring spirit

• You can not have a bountiful eye listening to all the negativity that exist

• The enemy is trying to break your focus causing you to stop looking at how big your God is

• What do you see? – How are you looking?

• Can you see some good things happening; can you see a turn-around, some favor, a blessing, a breakthrough? – Can you see God doing more in your life?

• You must live and walk by faith – If it is not working, you are out of position

• Most people who are out of position are there behind a bad attitude

• The most important asset is your attitude – More important than facts

• There are many facts around – But it is a good attitude that will change facts

• Your attitude is more important than what people say or think about you

• When things don’t go the way you want them to go – Make up your mind that you will not let it hold you back

• You know God has better things in store for you - you must live with high expectations

• Your attitude can either be an asset or a liability

• Your attitude determines you altitude

• Your attitude is important in all walks of your life

• Your attitude has nothing to do with your position

• It has everything to do with your disposition

• You must stay in faith – Staying in faith is keeping a good attitude

• Your attitude determines your success or failure

• Your attitude determines how you handle your feelings and emotions – Check your emotions

• Everyday - All day - For the rest of your life - You must work on your attitude

• Attitude determines your defeat or success - Your thoughts determines your attitude – And the man that wins is the man who thinks he can win

• The enemy is always trying to get you to think wrong things

• God can heal a bad attitude

“Grow Stronger Through Change”

James 1:3,-4 6 Romans 2:4 Proverbs 24:10 II Corinthians 4:9 Philippians 4:13


• Change is not change until it’s change - You are growing stronger through change

• Three things that will never leave your life: Change, Transition, and Transformation

• Some people ask for change yet they fight change = Because it take them out of their norm or what they are use to

• You don’t know what you want when you pray – You want what God wants for you

• When you pray, you must know that if you’re being changed and things are being flipped around – You must trust God in the change

• Change brings pressure – Under pressure, your faith life is forced into the open and shows its true color

• Some changes you make yourself – Then there are changes that are forced on you

• What are you going to do? – Are you going to use your faith at this time?

• Don’t view change as a challenge – See it as an opportunity to become stronger

• In order to grow stronger through change do the following:

1. You must give-up fighting change

• Stop being an escape artist trying to avoid the stress that comes along with change

• Only when you ride the horse in the direction it’s going will you get to where you need to be

2. You must wise up - Use wisdom

• When you are suddenly hit with change, your “fight or flight” instincts arises

• You must go to God when this happens and allow Him to take you by the hand and lead you into change



3. You need to toughen up

• Take inventory of yourself – You can not do this by yourself – You need God

• Are you making it harder on yourself than it needs to be?

• Keep your mouth closed and trust God -Are you speaking faith or fear?

• Are you convincing yourself that you cannot handle the change?

• Make up your mind and know that you can handle it with God’s help

• God is concerned about everything in your life

• The Word says: “ask” and it shall be given “seek “ and you will find “knock” and the doors will be open

• God has increase on His mind for you

• Don’t try to get out of anything prematurely – Let it do its work so you become mature, well-balanced and not deficient in any area

• Resistance to change just creates ulcers, sleeplessness, and stress

• Change is here – Just get through it

• Some attitudes you must adjust:

• Thinking like a victim

“Pursue, Overtake, and Recover All”
“Positive Attitude in Down Times”
“Adjust Your Attitude and Change Your Life”

I Samuel 30:1 Proverbs 4:23 Hebrews11:16 Joshua 1:1, 2


• You must give honor to what God has put in place

• You can’t give dishonor and disrespect in what God has done then expect honor for you

• The way to recover all is to keep - The right attitude in the midst of your tough times

• Don’t focus on your pain – Focus on the one who can heal your pain

• When the hard times come your way – What do you do – How do you handle it?

• Do you allow it to keep you in bewilderment and pain for the rest of your life?

• You must learn to encourage yourself

• Self encouragement provides and opportunity for you to make adjustments in your attitude to where God can help you

• Do what you have to do to encourage yourself – Get some pom-poms, get some flags, and put on your favorite music

• When you encourage yourself – God will send some angels or something to help you in the midst of your situation that will change your situation around

• Your heart determines what will happen in your life

• That’s why the enemy is always trying to corrupt your heart

• You should never complain about life because – Life only gives you back what flows out from you

• How high you go or how low you stay is based upon your attitude

• If you don’t like where you are now – Change your attitude

• It is not what’s going on out there that is affecting you – It’s what going on inside of you

• God can still prosper you in a down economy

• Your attitude will change when you want it to change

• God is trying to keep you in position – The devil is trying to pull you out of position by sowing bad seed into your life

• A wrong attitude will cause you to be in a losing position all your life

• Adjust your attitude – Change your life

• Whatever attitude you accept - Is what you become

• The devil will work every angle to get you into a bad attitude

• God cut Moses off from going to the promise land because - Moses let the people cause him to get a bad attitude in a situation

• You must watch your attitude in every area of your life

• Let go of all the negative things in your life - Let them die

• Change your attitude – Change your life

“The Benefits of the Cross”

Galatians 2:21


• It was Jesus’ love for you that kept Him on the cross

• You have to own, walk-out, display, and take responsibility for what Jesus did for you on the cross

• The cross is an instrument of death – You must understand what Jesus went through to die on the cross for you

• What do you owe to the person that got you off death row?

• You should be going out of your way to make things happen for the church that Jesus gave His life for

• If you want to see a change in your life – Try to out-work, out-serve, out-help, out-give,
and out-pray every person in the church

• When you get offended, hurt or walk around in guilt and condemnation – You are making Jesus’ death in vain

• The three greatest words ever spoken was – Paid In Full

• The worst mistake you could ever make has already been paid for

• Now God wants you to walk around like you own the cross - You own the blood and truth

• He wants you to own that life and be somebody

• You are not insufficient – Jesus wants you to walk in the authority that He died for you to have – Not hopelessness

• There was a solution before there was ever a problem

• But if you don’t know that you are free – You will continue to act like a slave

• Don’t forget what you are suppose to remember – Don’t forget what Jesus went through

• Don’t remember what you are suppose to forget – It is under the blood - It’s done – Jesus paid the price and you are free

“Pursue, Overtake, and Recover All”
“Encouragement for Recovery”

I Samuel 30:1-9 Psalms 18:37 Judges 6:11-13


• Most people have several areas in their lives where they need to be pursuing, recovering, and overtaking all

• Hurting people – Hurt other people

• When you are hurting, you must quickly work on yourself – Because you might do something to hurt someone else even though you don’t mean to

• When going through the tough times of your life – You must find ways to encourage yourself

• Surround yourself with people who are positive and are willing to offer you encouragement

• At some point, you have to stop complaining and start doing something

• There is no overtaking without pursuing

• If you are going to be a pursuer and a over taker – You must have a good attitude

• Your attitude is the behavior and the mood created by something that you have chosen to focus on

• Your attitude is more powerful than your gifts and talents

• Your attitude is the force that determines whether you will – Multiply or decrease, grow or die, attract or repel the company of other successful people

• When you are going through something and you have the right attitude – God will bring people across your path that will help you get to where you want to go

• Your attitude is the power tool used by God to reconstruct your circumstances around you

• When you change your attitude – There will be many things that will leave your life

• What you magnify in your mind – Is controlling your attitude

• When you have a bad attitude – You are a human magnet for every negative thing to come your way

• When you have a bad attitude – The enemy will cause you to do dumb things

• If you can just believe that God is with you – It will start changing your attitude

• The Lord is with you – You mighty men and women of valour

• Change your attitude – Change your life

• If you change what is going out of you – You will change what is happening all around you

• When you have a bad attitude – You deliver yourself into all the negative things that are going on in the world

• Don’t allow your circumstances to have dominance over the Word of God

• Your attitude will decide the entrance or exit of a miracle in your life
