“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

“Pursue, Overtake, and Recover All”
“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

“Pursue, Overtake, and Recover All”
“Fighting Off Discouragement”

I Samuel 30:1-9 Psalms 42:6, 11


• One of the problems in the church today is - The church has a passive spirit

• God did not save you to just go to church – The church is a filling station

• God gave you the authority in the Name of Jesus - The power in the Blood

• He gave you Dominion – Might – The ability to function in this earth realm

• God gave you armor to function in this hostile world

• There are enemies in the spiritual realm that are fighting against your prosperity: spiritually – physically – mentally – financially – socially

• The enemy is warring against your forward progress

• David was a man after God’s own heart – He was known for war and fighting

• God wants you to be a warrior

• Whether you know it or not – You are under an attack from the enemy

• When you are going through an area that you are being challenged in your walk – You need to ask some questions:

• “Why am I feeling like this?” “Why am I feeling down and out?” “Why do I feel discouraged?” “Why do I feel like giving up?”

• Discouragement is the number one enemy to a believer

• If the devil can make you want to give up – Loose your heart – Loose your courage – You can not do anything

• Discouraged: Being drained of courage – Wanting to give up – Dismayed – Fearful – Depressed – Oppressed – Dishearten – To loose your confidence

• You can not use your faith - When you’re discouraged



• You must keep your eyes fixed toward the hills from which cometh your help

• Because your help cometh from the Lord

• God has given you everything you need to be successful in this earth realm

• You have to exercise your authority

• You can not allow this kingdom to rule your life by what you see or what you hear

• You are a part of a different Kingdom

• You are a new species in Christ Jesus

• Ten things you need to know when you are dealing with the Spirit of Discouragement:

1. Think on what God has done in your life (Exodus 13:3)
2. See God bigger than your problem
3. You have to have faith in what God says (Numbers 23:19)

“Friendship Sunday”
“Confronting the Issue’s”

Proverbs 27:10 Proverbs 27:17


• Sometimes disaster does strike – Situations happens that are out of your control

• Because you have a friend – You don’t even have to go to family members for assistance

• If you have any type of relationship with someone - There will be conflict

• You must be conflict resolution minded in your relationships – You should work through them and not run from them

• Three things you need to know about conflict:
1. Conflicts always have a cure
• There is a resolution, there is peace – There is something that God can bring to cure your marital problems and your interpersonal relationships

2. You can not correct what you are not willing to confront
• Your graduation or you going to the next level will never happen until you confront the situation

3. You can not correct what you are not willing to confront
• You can not help everybody – Even God can not help a person when they are not willing to change

• If the person does not respect the God-Wisdom in you – They will never accept your counsel and you can not help someone who will not receive you

• Here are six Health benefits of Friendship:
1. Increases your sense of belonging and purpose
• The world does everything it can to keep you isolated and separated

2. It boost your happiness
• There are forces fighting against your happiness – God has an antidote called “a friend”

3. Friendship reduces stress
• One of the biggest killers today is stress – Most of the diseases people are receiving is out of stress

4. Improves your self-worth
• A good friend just makes you feel better about your self

5. Decreases the risk of serious Mental Illness
• Psychology Today, states that one out of three people are dealing with some level of Mental Illness – A friend will reduces those issues
•
6. Helps you weather the trauma of Divorce, Serious Illness, Job Lost or Death of a
Loved One
• God designed a full-proof situation to help you through the times when you are hurting the most – God designed friendships

• God has brought friends into your life to help you be a better person

• They have something to add to you – Can you receive it?

• Do you recognize the value your friends are to you?

• The devil fights so hard against you having friendships and relationships

• He does not want you to be sharpened to the level that you can be a serious weapon against the works of the enemy out in the world

• God wants to sharpen you – But it’s not going to be by yourself

• It will be because you learned how to build relationships and listen to them

• God brings you a gift – That gift is called a friend

• You can not get to where you want to go without receiving the wisdom of that friend

• You must come to the place in your life that you recognize the value of friendships

• If you don’t recognize the value or learn to receive wisdom from friendships

• You will always be flipping and flopping in your pursuit of happiness, greatness, and your prosperity – Because you don’t know how to protect your friendships

• There is a connection between friends, a chemistry – An aroma that is released and goes up to God when friends come together

• The same thing happens with churches – God brings you to a church where the “Man of God” can help you

• There is a releasing of the DNA of the “Man of God” into your life – This is all done to help you move up

• Don’t allow the enemy to cause you to get into offense and make you leave the place where you received your DNA

• You must fight off anything that comes against your relationships and friendships
