"I do not mean that I am already as God wants me to be. I HAVE NOT YET REACHED THAT GOAL, but I continue trying to reach it and to make it mine. Christ wants me to do that, which is the reason he made me His. Brothers and sisters, I know that I have not yet reached that goal, but there is one thing I always do. Forgetting the past and straining toward what is ahead, I keep trying to reach the goal and get the prize for which God called me through Christ to the life above." - The Apostle Paul

I am not yet what God wants me to be.

The Apostle Paul told his leaders, even if you have failed to reach your goals, there are three things that are always within your power:

1.) Forget the past (the failures you suffered in fulfilling those dreams, gifts or callings)

2.) Strain (pull forcibly or violently) toward your calling that is upward AND

3.) Keep trying to reach the goal and prize.

What are your goals in 2012?

Everyone has a dream, but everyone isn't always willing to put in the necessary, sometimes unappreciated "hard work" in to accomplish it.

King Solomon wrote: "Good planning and hard work lead to prosperity, but hasty shortcuts lead to poverty." (Proverbs 21:5)

Something is always standing in the way of what is in your heart.

A bank rejection, frustration, the economy, a credit score, a wrong point of reference, a pity party, sickness, person (because you have let them); a disappointment, a father that abandoned you (that never told you they loved you), a mother that failed you, EVEN a mindset can stand in the way of the call that is in your heart.

Conquest was in Joshua's heart for 40 years, but Jericho was in the way of it.

What's standing in the way of your BEST LIFE today?

REPEAT THIS:

In 2012, I will not negotiate, settle or compromise the call upon my life for any cost.
I will not make excuses.
I will forget the past.
I will forgive myself.
I will stop blaming others.
I will trample the injustices, injuries and traumas suffered by others underfoot.
For they are not more powerful than a decision.
Because I am healed, my decisions will shape my destiny.
Where I was and what I did yesterday (last year) was a seed (in deed and decision) for where I am today.
In 2012, I will make the rejections, disappointments and failures of my past, a "cornerstone" that is marvelous in God's sight.
I will go through whatever is necessary to qualify my foundation, so my life, my leadership, authority can be built upon by others.
WHO AM I?
I AM A CHAMPION (2x.)
I can still transform the lives of people.
I am still worth the biggest dream in my heart.

Your dream (or life) must be bigger than your lifetime or it is an insult to God.

The goals you set and plan to reach them must be SMART.

SMART is an acronym that stands for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound.

Over the next few weeks, we will discuss how to use the Champions SMART Dream System (DOWNLOAD NOW) and make your goals emerge as targets that engage greater focus, action, intensity, feedback and learning.

Today, the silence ends. The march is over. SHOUT, go in and take the city (or what belongs to you.)
