"Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even."

WE HAVE SOME END OF THE YEAR NEEDS TO HONOR COMMITMENTS MADE ON BEHALF OF CHAMPIONS UNLEASHED AND THE RADIO PROGRAM.   WILL YOU CONSIDER SOWING INTO CHAMPIONS UNLEASHED WITH AN APPRECIATION GIFT

 

 

"But when anything is exposed and reproved by the light, it is made visible and clear; and where everything is visible and clear there is light. - The Apostle Paul 
 

We have become accustomed to hiding or dressing up who we really are.

 

Yet God perfects that which concerns us with light and exposure. And when in the light (of His Word), He reveals both who we are and who we ought to be.

 

As long as we are in darkness, we cannot see. So, God must promise a new day (A NEW YOU) that is irrespective of your darkest past  and the worst thing that has ever happened to you. 

 

That means, while you are still floored on the canvas, battered, bruised and bloodied, He will shout (from your corner) things like:  

  • GET UP
  • AWAKE
  • ARISE AND SHINE
  • THIS IS THE DAY THAT I HAVE MADE (IT WAS MADE FOR YOU, NOT FOR THE DEVIL; NOT FOR YOUR DEPRESSION, NOT FOR YOUR COMPLAINTS OR PITY, NOT FOR YOUR HABITS OR FEAR; BUT FOR PURPOSE, PREVAIL AND PROSPERITY;)
  • YOU CAN WIN
  • YOU CAN OVERCOME
  • STAND UP
  • GO FORWARD
  • INCREASE AND MULTIPLY
  • BE HEALED
  • GO POSSESS THE LAND
  • RISE AND TAKE YOUR CITY
  • I WILL GO BEFORE YOU AND DRIVE OUT THOSE THAT INTIMIDATE YOU!

You see, as long as God is referee, you will never be counted out of the fight.

 

But while we are consumed with the loss of rounds, God is consumed with giving us the title; joint seating with the One who has been given a Name, FAR ABOVE THE NAME OF ANY OTHER NAME in Heaven, on the earth or under the earth:

 

  • Far above the name of recession
  • Far above the name of bankruptcy
  • Far above the name of unemployment and financial collapse.
But as in any fight, an enemy will always expose your weaknesses.  Their explicit purpose is to show us the areas of our lives we need to strengthen, train and build resistance in.
 

If we had no enemies to defeat, we could never be called "champions."  Someone or something will always stand between you and your best life.  And because the enemy is subtle and most effective in areas we are weak (or fearful in), that is where our greatest attack will be; in areas we thought were untouchable, overlooked or took for granted in basic training.  

 

You will only win the battle that you train for.

 

RIGHT NOW, you can still get up and win by a decision.    

 

You weren't trained for the disaster in your life right now, but "champions" get up when they are knocked down. 

 

The recession was a knockdown. Your divorce, cancer, disease or diagnosis was a knockdown.  Your bankruptcy, job termination, demotion, family breakup, church split, sin, bad and reckless decision was a knockdown

 

BUT IT WAS NOT A KNOCKOUT  (OTHERWISE, YOU WOULD NOT BE READING THIS.)

 

The true test of a champion lies in what you do after the initial shock of a knockdown.

 

GET UP! 

  • You can still win your spouse (or marriage) back. 
  • You can still win your family back.
  • You can still win your favor back.
  • You can still win your integrity, honor and purity back.
  • You can win your health and wealth back.
  • You can win your creativity to dream back.
  • You can win your title and trust back
  • You can win that career or ministry back...BY A DECISION.

A redemptive decision that says this unemployment, sickness or losing streak in my life will be different.  It will not last as long.  This business will survive and grow; this relationship/marriage will not fail; this dream will not go unfulfilled. I will increase in skill; I will confront what I am afraid of; I will train myself to land a job that remains. 

 

By any other standard, Jesus was crucified at the peak of His "career" at the age of 33.  But when He arose, He redeemed the destiny that death thought it had destroyed and forever reigns as "CHAMPION."
 

A champion in ancient times was "one who stood in the space between two armies." He (or she) was the chief or captain between the two (often deemed the difference maker, the game or score changer.) The person who, on the part of their own people, stood at the head (of an army) as the decisive factor in national conflicts by engaging in single combat with a chosen warrior in an opposing hostile army.

 

Today, you must confront the warriors that are opposing you and creating the conflict in that home, business, church, dream or career. Identify them (COMPUTER AND READING ILLITERACY, POOR TYPING SKILLS, TARDINESS, FEAR, PRIDE, HOPELESSNESS, PASSIVITY, etc) so you can silence them once and for all. 

 

Our "Hope Revolution Campaign" has started to be the catalyst of hope to hopeless situations in your region.  Over the past three weeks, I have found that "giving" hope feels good; often like giving money to a needy person; because hope (encouragement) is currency; hope meets a need; Hope is a place of refuge, shelter and trust for people.

 

Where or what does your hope rest in?  

 

Open your bank account and write a check of hope from your treasury into the lives of those in need.

 

A new day of sudden, radical HOPE in your life has dawned.
