Quit Making The Same Mistakes

This is from another author and his link is at the bottom...


The problem is closer than you think

Proverbs 26:11
 As a dog returns to his vomit, so a fool that returns to his folly.
I’ve also heard it said this way, “if you want different results you have to try different approaches.”
1+1 will always = 2
If you want different results you are going to have to change the equation.
You want to blame something or someone else but the problem is closer than you think.
Look in the mirror. Yup, it’s you.
You just can’t keep doing the same thing and expect different results.
You can choose to keep repeating or make wiser decisions. As bad as it sounds, it’s comparable to a dog coming back to a disgusting mess the just made and licking up.
Graphic, I know, but it gets the point across
So here are a few ways that you can do just that.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Lean On God’s Understanding...
Trusting in your own wisdom hasn’t really worked so far. Why not try leaning on His wisdom instead?
Living with an “I’ve got this” attitude seems to get you in more trouble than movement in the right direction. Why not seek wise counsel?
Do your relationships keep failing because you keep treating people the same way?
Do you keep going broke because you go through all the trouble of setting a budget but still spend like usual?
Do you keep going back to the same bad habit and attitude because you keep going back to the people that encourage those bad habits and attitudes?
God has given you the freedom to make choices. That doesn’t mean you can’t make wrong choices.
Quit acting like all the answers are found inside you somewhere. Seek out God and lean on Him.

Submit to God

The next step is always the hardest step.
Once you seek God for Wisdom you have a decision to make—Obey or disobey.
Proverbs knowingly tells us to lean on His understanding or seek His will, and then to submit in all our ways.
Why?
Because that’s what it’s going to take for us to follow through on what God commands us to do.
We will have to let go of our will and our way and surrender it to God. Then we will take His will and embrace it with all our heart, soul, mind and strength.

Part I - 5 Signs That Your Country Is Being Taken Over By A Tyrant

Soft Tyranny Part I – The 5 Signs of a Soft Tyrant Taking Over Your Country The two major types of dictatorships in the world are “soft” and “hard”, and for this piece I will be using the word “tyrant” as the descriptor for both dictators and tyrants. Hard tyrants are relatively easy to spot and they are usually led by leaders who believe without a doubt in communism. Many of these tyrants come into power by using various “strongman tactics” such as political tactics (stacking the political deck in their favor), personal attacks (removing everyone that disagrees with them), influential tactics (controlling what the press says about them and discrediting, jailing, or killing the ones who don’t), and total military control (including martial law) via a “ coup d'é·tat”. However, n o matter how they do it the end game is always the same; to rule by force and make the country either an authoritarian or totalitarian regime. Many of these “strongman dictators” are not the actua

Quimby and Beyond...

Enter Quimby… The New Thought movement of the late nineteenth century had a profound influence on a number of American leaders in the Divine Healing movement in the first half of the twentieth century who went on to become the fathers of the Positive Confession, or Faith-Formula theology of Pentecostalism.  New Thought was a movement that began after the death of Phineas P. Quimby (1802-66) when a number of his students came together to preserve his teaching. Quimby had developed an alternative system of healing through parapsychology after beginning a career as a mesmerist. Quimby taught that bodily sickness was caused when the mind believed false notions about health and could be healed by correcting these beliefs in the mind. The movement that sprang from his protégé emphasized not only health and healing, but also abundance, prosperity, wealth and happiness. The basic presuppositions of New Thought’s system of divine healing are, firstly, God is all reality and in God is no

Do You Tell The Truth DJT?

Jonathan Karl’s Question: And finally I remember well, you remember well in the campaign, you made a promise. You said, “I will never lie to you.” Can you tell me now, honestly, have you kept that promise at all times? Have you always been  truthful? DJT’s Answer: Well, I try. I do try. I think you try too. You say things about me that aren't necessarily correct [this is called deflection]. I do try, and I always want to tell the truth. When I can, I tell the truth… I have a simple rule and that is if anyone lies to me even one time then I know they will lie to me again if they need to and this man has lied to America thousands of times. Even those close to him say that he will make up his “own truth” when the need arises so he can come out on top and that he has NO issue with telling lies to get ahead. However, those with real spiritual discernment know that he is has been constantly lying to America, however people who claim to be “christians” (aka evangelicals) do
