Get in the Game...Life

by: John Wayne Owens

Oftentimes, people pretend as if they are on top of the world, giving the perception as if life is just peaceful and bliss. In the real world we all have issues and concerns; we have this tendency to cover up that which is causing discomfort and silent pain. The days of going through the motions will only wear your patience weary and greater pain will cause new stress that will drive you to find more ways to give up and quit.  You are not alone, I understand and I too know that moving forward is a struggle and a fight; getting pass hidden emotions and current life daily challenges are for real and not to think what is the use.  The option of quitting is not an option, so we must renew our minds and think on the things that will progressively move us from all your fears and worries.   

You are special and the only one on earth that can produce and manifest your assignment given to you.  You don't have time to waste holding on to what's not holding on to you?  What do you think you are missing that you feel you have to possess, that is not missing you?  We all have to come to grips to the reality of the things that we chase after that's not chasing after us.  Life will not wait for you to catch up and figure out who you are and what's your life purpose.  You have to start now and get with the program called life.  Things happen not by chance or accident, but by faith and fate believing that all things are possible.

Wisdom Keys:

Fight through the spirit of denial…and deal with facts about you.

Forgive yourself before you forgive others first. 

Revisit your secret closet for the last time and “LET IT GO!!!”

Take control of your responsibilities…you are in charge of you.

Find one confidant you can trust for accountability only.

Just change your mind

by: John Wayne Owens

Where is your focus? Does your mind wonder off into the abyss and ask these questions; why, where and when as it relates to the future? Many people have also settled here to find reasons to complain and not apply healthier mature decision. Your mind is the conduit that receives all information both spiritual and practical. The two pipelines of your mind funnel thoughts and decision expressing your actions both desired and disappointed. 

“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:” Proverbs 23:7 (KJV)

It’s all up to you now…are ready to change your way of thinking? Your mind has all the capabilities to manifest beyond supernatural condition. Your journey begins with you yielding and trusting in God. The proof of your existence is in you and world is knolling to receive your divine purpose.  The mind that God has anointed and appointed you has been certified and classified to exceed…image, above whatever you can believe by faith.  You are here; whether you want to be or not doesn’t really matter. The grace of God is allowing you this opportunity to renew your mind and transform your life.

Renew your mind

By: John Wayne Owens

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God

Romans 12:2 (KJV)

The common place of life is where most people park and never advance nor develop into the person that God intended them to be. Where have you parked your life? Are you maximizing your full potential, dreams and desires? Have you fixed your mind to believe that you cannot move forward past your deficiencies? When the life pause button is pressed; you will collapse into the rut of dejection and despondency.  These thoughts of life uncertainty will arrive to force you adapted to your current status or situation.  Never allow the unknown baffle you but, challenge it’s validly and accuracy for why. The pattern of your life may have relapsed from habitual practices of copying what you have seen, heard, or have acknowledged. All conforming negative thoughts of what you have conceive and perceive your life to be is mental bondage and has no authority over your future.

In the movie Transformers, the Transformers true identity was concealed, except under extreme pressure or when they were called for duty to defeat their opposition. Contrary to what your life’s exterior presentation displays you to have the ability to transform your life. Be not…perplexed, confused, nor weary. Your best days are now. Empower yourself and transform your life and live the totally free and abundant life that God has prescribed for you!!!

Thoughts of starting over

   'Sometimes we just have to Ctrl-Atl-Delete"

                                                            

by: John Wayne Owens

   

What does it mean to renew your life?  How can you really say "my life is renewed"? When I was pastoring my mission was to minister to the real issues of life that most churches did not want to address. I did not want people to come to church and get an emotional happy one day charge, when they really desired and needed a life time fix. Changing and repentance is what renewing is all about; why do we always run from our past.  I finally realized that my past has helped me to embrace the here and now. Which caused me to pause and say thanks for His grace and mercy!

The thoughts of starting over seem so grudging and weary, all the mental work that it requires to really move forward and press through and release myself from me. Just thinking about it makes tired. I want you to know that the one way to get through is to know what is in you is for you.  Starting with internal healing is when you make the decision and move towards the vision and purpose for your life and forgive yourself and anyone else that has offended you and all your haters. Make a conscious effort to redirect your life towards the place and purpose you truly believe within your heart, soul and spirit. Being to pray and move with caution in the will of God for your life.  Do not let people stop you from what is to be and miss your mission and purpose. Have your desires tattooed to your heart and trust God he will keep His promise. 

This is the only chance that you will have in this life to perform that which He has placed you.  So, have you been procrastinating and pondering your next moves in your life?

"We have only now to make tomorrow better and brighter"

John Wayne Owens

Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See I am doing a new thing! 

Isaiah 43:18-19 (KJV)

Why Purpose?

To reassess YOU and begin a renewed journey towards a life that is filled with reachable and realistic goals and dreams. Identify where you are now as it relates to your family, faith, finance, and future. Complete and confirm your rightful place in Christ, and capture the experience of living the abundant life that God promised in His word.  Accept what has happened, improve on what is, and take the fragments of your life and create a masterpiece for God’s glory and live.

“To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.”

Isaiah 61:3

R&R...Rewind and Review

In order to begin the process of creating a better life for yourself, you must first examine the rationale of the here and now of your current situation. Yield yourself to pause and rewind your life back for a moment; to assess some things about you. This will help you rediscovery your frailties and qualities, as you begin to regain balance and reposition your life. Recreating your posture, with a new attitude, both spiritually and mentally, will reveal and redefine your true purpose, plan, and mission for your new life. Establishing a firm foundation of who you are in Christ and trusting in His word will affirm his original purpose for your life. This activity is designed to assist you through the process of renewing you from what you were and transforming you towards all you can be:

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature:

old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new

II Corinthians 5:17 (KJV)

Are you still peeking?

Peeking way too deep into your past

"Which way are you going? This is the question that most people can not answer; because most people don't have a clue and just do as they are told. Living life in the comfortable place without knowing that there's an outlet and breakthrough on the horizon in your life; is like living in the dark with a candle in your hand."

John Wayne Owens

"The Motivator" 

"Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead;"  Philippians 3:13 

The search for answers of “what in the world is going on in your life" and why does it feel like you are going circles?" You have been asking, looking, and screaming for help but, you keep on peeking into the past of what was...if you peek in your past too much, it will only cause you to hold on to what is already DONE!

Life is moving forward and the times are changing and you feel like your life is stuck in a rut, and you are trapped in a place of  "how things use to be" and not being able to renew your mind and embrace life in the here and now.  You are working hard to impress people into thinking that you have value and purpose on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn broadcasting information that has no validity or point.  Are your dreams locked up in the past; are you right now living in the past; and to make matters worse is your future in the past; is it because change is hard and peeking into your past is much easier and maybe if you take the past and insert a little twist on it and think it's new will change you current situation…not! 

You have everything you need right now to empower yourself; God has blessed you with so many gifts, skills, and talents that are waiting to be exposed to the world. You may not be where you want to be position in life but, you have everything you need to get started and if you will take the first step and LET IT GO of how things were.  You are no longer the same person by one means you once were in the past. It is so imperative that you stop peeking into your past which is a frozen state of mind?  Can you forget? Will you forget? Do want to forget? Until you have made that decision, you will never be able to embrace nor empower yourself to excel new levels of learning and achieving the best of you.  Some people and things or not meant for soar with you, I know you have feelings but, don't let your feelings get in your way.    

When I ran track I was told to NEVER look back, stay focus and in your lane. I was really curious what that meant; so in high school decided to see what was behind me while competing in a race, I felt good because was leading the race.  When I made that one dreadful decision to look behind me, that when the runner next to me came fast pass me.  What I didn't know and learned is that, when you look back you actually slow down and your speed, power decrease and most of all you lose site on the finish line.  I just wanted to peek into what was behind me and that one peek cost me the win.

Peeking too much into your past can really effect and hinder your forward process toward building a solid future. Stay focus and press and go for the gold!!!
