“NOW HEBREW 11:1” Now see yourself in the place you’re desiring to be. Now do in your present the things in your future you’re expecting to see. Now keep your eyes on your vision and let your past go. Now walk in God’s promises and live like it’s so. Now speak out loud your destiny every day until it’s done. The more you speak, see and do, your destiny, you will become.

11

THE BIRDS SING The birds sing to God while flying with beauty and utter grace. They never compete with each other, for they understand the challenges they must face. Always having a place to land, they have no worries for they’re in God’s hands. They soar to God’s purpose, never questioning or wondering why. They trust in their creator, for they know that He will guide. So, if you’re wondering why the birds sing, it’s because they trust God and praise Him for everything. For just like the birds, we must sing too. We must sing and give God praise, for to Him honor is due.

12

BE THERE BEFORE YOU GET THERE Be there in your spirit. Touch it with your heart. Know that God is with you, even from the start. Let faith be your friend and doubt your enemy. Prepare to receive with gratitude and expectancy. Be There Before You Get There

13

EXCEEDINGLY RICH I am now exceedingly and abundantly rich in every area of my life, for the rest of my life. You are now exceedingly and abundantly rich in every area of your life for the rest of your life. We are not exceedingly and abundantly rich in every area of our lives, for the rest of our lives.

14

SPEAK GOD’S WORD Speak God’s word. He’s placed in your spirit. God is trusting you to speak, so that all may hear it. Speak God’s word and speak the facts. So that all of us, through God’s word, will have no lack. Speak God’s word loud and speak it out; so that we all can have faith in place of doubt.

15

GOD IS BAD God is bad. He’s bad to the bone. He is the King forever sitting on His throne. Jesus is always interceding, making intercession for the saints. You know the saints that always pray and refuse to faint. God is bad. He’s bad to the bone. He always loves me. In Him I’m never alone. So every time I wake up to God these words I’ll say, thanking you Lord for having your way. God is bad. Don’t you ever get it twisted. If you think it’s all about you, guess what, you really missed it. God is bad. He’s bad to the bone.

16

JESUS IS COMING Jesus is coming, God’s only begotten Son. He may be coming for all or He may be coming for one. When your time is up, will you be ready to go? Will your answer be yes, or will your answer be no? Will death take you by surprise? Tell me, where will you be when you open up your eyes? Will it be heaven or will it be hell? Are you just waiting to see what time will tell? Now is the time and now is the place. Receive God now while He extends His love, mercy and grace. Now is the time to say God I surrender all. Help me Lord; to be ready when it’s me, oh Lord, you call. He may be coming for all or He may be coming for one. Jesus is coming, God’s only begotten Son.

17

CAN I TRUST YOU? Can I trust you to obey my will? When I bless you, will you leave me or can I in you, be revealed? Can I trust you, to live for me, so that others can be set free? Can I use you as an example that others may see the promises I’m willing to give? Can I trust you so that others may see me in you and live? Can I trust you with my glory? Are you willing to tell my story? Can I trust you with my plans to share with others in distant lands? Can I trust you?

18

THE BEST RIDE IS WHEN GOD DRIVES When people, things and circumstances in life are slowing you down, don’t get discouraged, give up and lose ground. But stay focused on the road ahead. Let God drive you to the living and from the dead. Follow God’s divine driving force. Don’t be deterred, but stay His course. Around the traffic of life. God is taking you. For it is God’s destiny that you will reach when He gets through. So enjoy the ride!!!!! For the best ride is when God drives.

19

I’M TOO… I’m too achieved to be deceived. I’m too elated to be frustrated. I’m too equip to quit. I’m too completed to be defeated. I’m too inspired to be expired. I’m too excited to be quiet I have too much vision to lack provision. I’m too grateful to be hateful. I’m too good to be misunderstood. I have too much power to be a coward. I’m too anointed to be disappointed. I’m too blessed to be oppressed. I’m too wise to compromise. I’m too committed to God to forfeit God. My dreams are too great to deviate.

20

CONSUMED WITH GOD’S POWER Don’t let your present to be consumed with your past. Live for today and tomorrow. Embrace all God has. For you God has many promises. So don’t be deceived. You’ve sought God earnestly. Now His promises receive. This is your moment, your minute, your hour to be filled with His presence; consumed with God’s power.

21

LET US REJOICE IN OUR LORD Let us rejoice in our Lord when things just don’t make sense. Let us rejoice in our Lord, for in Him we have confidence. For He’s always working things out for our good. Even though we don’t praise Him as much as we should. Let us rejoice in our Lord with great adoration. For God always exceeds our expectation. Let us rejoice in our Lord no matter what comes our way. Let us rejoice in our Lord and let us rejoice everyday.

22

LORD, I AM EXCEEDINGLY ABUNDANTLY RICH Lord, I am exceedingly abundantly rich in thought rich in action, rich in faith, filled with compassion. Lord, I am exceedingly abundantly rich in your spirit, rich in your truth, rich in your victory you predestinated in me from my youth. Lord, I am exceedingly abundantly rich in your presence and glory from above. I am filled with the essence of your beauty and your love.

23

I AM BECAUSE YOU ARE You are King of kings. You are the Lord of lords. You are my God in whom my soul adores. You are the lifter of my head. You are my water, my living bread. You are the glory of the spring, summer, winter, and fall. The heavens and earth rejoice. You are the splendor of them all. The sun in its brilliances; the moon and stars at night, all honor You with praise by shining with all their might. You are the heat in the summer. You are the cold and the winter chill. You are the creator of all the elements for they bow down at Your will. Lord, there is nothing in life that is better by far than to know that I am because You are.

24

THERE IS A SOUND There is a sound although not audible to the natural ear. The sound is only accessible to the heart that is sincere. A heart sincere with compassion, happiness, goodness, joy, peace and love that abounds; is the heart that can attest, oh yes, clearly, there is a sound. There is a sound pouring out miracles and blessing divinely fashioned from God above. There is a sound available to all those who are willing to receive and share God’s love… There is a sound, although some may not agree. The sound grows nearer to all that will listen to God with sincere hearts and believe. Yes, there is a sound.

25

MAXIMIZE YOUR TIME Maximize your time. Don’t waste it. Let it benefit you. Always keep God first in everything you do. Maximize your time. Acknowledge God in all of your ways. He will grant you good success, long life, and yes, blessed days. Maximize your time. Don’t procrastinate. Now is your opportunity. Tomorrow might be too late. Maximize your time. Don’t wait another day; take the time to hear God’s voice. For in Him you’ll never stray. Proverbs 3:5-6

26

DON’T NEGLECT GOD’S GIFTS Don’t neglect God’s gifts that He has placed in you. But, use God’s gifts to honor Him, for if you don’t, God’s gifts you’ll lose. Use God’s gifts when He gives you favor and opens Heaven’s doors. Use God’s gifts He’s birthed in you and He will give you more. Don’t neglect God’s gifts, but in everything give Him praise. For it’s through God’s gifts in you, that others will be saved. Don’t neglect God’s gifts, but use them to tell His story. Don’t neglect God’s gifts in you. For God’s gifts are for His glory.

27

CREATIVE THOUGHT It is the Spirit realm where creative thought resides. God the creator gives us creative thoughts to speak into the universe where provision is supplied. The supplied provision is God’s creative thought made manifest into being. So created thoughts from God must be recited from our minds into God’s ears. From the thought realm to the word realm, from the Spirit realm, to the earth realm, the word while we speak from creative thought will physically appear. For it is God that gives us creative thoughts, ideas, visions and dreams that we see and hear. For they are the infancy of our destiny when we dare to speak into words the creative thought from God in our minds once received into the universe. Bible References: Joel 2:28, Matthew 6:10, Mark 11:23, John 1:1, 14, John 16:13

28

WE NEVER KNOW WHAT GOD WILL DO We never know what God will do. What God has done for others may not be for me or you. So let us not be satisfied by what we hear or see. God has bigger plans in store for you and me. We never know what God will do. So let God do what He wants to. God is bigger than our greatest desires. He is more than we can imagine, more than our minds can, ever acquire. We never know what God will do but this we do know, we’ll be complete when He gets through. When God gets through molding and shaping us after His will, everything about us will be fulfilled.

29

BE TRUE TO YOURSELF Be true to yourself, your family and friends. Be true to yourself always and don’t ever pretend. Be true to yourself and watch your blessings unfold. Don’t prostitute your mind, your body or your soul. Be true to yourself and not what others feel you ought to be. Be true to your mind, body and soul, and be what God intended you to be. Addressed to self.

30

SHOW A LITTLE KINDNESS Show a little kindness. Make a new friend. Show a sincere smile from the love of God within. Let no one be a stranger. Do for others all that you can do. For that person may be an angel assigned to bless you. Show a little kindness. Do something you haven’t done before. For when you show God’s love to others, that’s when you‘ll experience God’s love the more. Show a little kindness and from the heart mean others well. Show a little kindness, for you, God will never fail. Show a little kindness and do all that you can do. For when you do for others, God will do for you.

31

JUST ONE THOUGHT FROM GOD Just one thought from God, my King, can prosper me in everything. Just one thought from God can make me prosper in my heart, body and soul. Just one thought from God can make me live complete and forever whole. Just one thought from God is all that is required for me to be exceedingly blessed. I must hear God’s word and write it down. Then God’s word, I must confess.

32

SECURITY Security is not in the abundance of things. Security is in the power of love that God brings. Security is constantly living in God’s safety and peace. Security is knowledge that God’s grace will not cease. Security is living in God’s word every day. Security is having confidence that God will answer when we pray. Security is not having weapons to protect and to kill. Security is living in God’s divine favor and in His perfect will.

33

GO FOR IT PART I Just don’t think about it. Go for it. Just don’t write about it. Go for it. Just don’t read about it. Go for it. Just don’t talk about it. Go for it. Just don’t hear and see it. Go for it. When you live it, you will get it. So, Go for it.

34

GO FOR IT PART II Go for your best Go for success Go for riches Go for wealth Go for abundant living Go for health Go for wisdom Go for understanding Go for preparation Go for application Go for it You will get it when you live it. So, Go for it.

35

STOP…AND…START Stop talking and start walking. Stop crying and start trying. Stop seeing and start being. Stop seeking less and start seeking the best. Stop stressing and start blessing. Stop being hateful and start being grateful. Stop fearing and start hearing. Stop being negative and start being positive. Stop expecting decrease and start living in increase. Stop being smart and start listening to your heart.

36

LET IT GO The past is gone. It’s time to move on. Let It Go. Let those hurtful feelings die, that caused you to ache painfully inside. Let It Go. Stop the worry and stop the stress. Live and be abundantly blessed. Let It Go. Your future is glorious, victorious, fresh and brand new. Get excited to receive all God has for you. Address to others.

37

OUR BIRTHRIGHT We won’t give up our birthright. We believe what God has said. We won’t give up our birthright. He is our water and living bread. We won’t give up our birthright. Our lives for God we give. We won’t give up our birthright. It’s in God’s presence that we live. We won’t give up our birthright. For in our birthright we are blessed. We are the promised seeds of Abraham. Seeds predestined for success.

38

THE WIND The wind is never alone; it’s always moving from place to place. You’ll never see ever alone but it fills the empty space. When we fear the cool breeze and we see the trees bend, when we hear the air speak, it’s not just a sound, but it’s the wind. When there is no hearing, no seeing, no feeling, no sound; the wind will be absent and no longer around. So embrace the wind, because from God it came. Allow God’s wind to move and abide in you and get ready to never be the same. For the wind will speak and speak with a clear voice. It will fill your empty space when you make the right choice. For this wind will warm you and thrill you and it will surely make you free. It will change your life forever and make your life complete.

39

GOD IS WAITING ON YOU Rest in God’s presence. Rest in God’s might. Cast your cares on Him and stop trying to fight. On your own, you’ll never win. You’ve already lost, before you begin. Rest in God’s presence and stop trying to do. Your victory is in the Lord, but He’s waiting on you. There is no victory when you try to do it your way. God is waiting on you. Hear what He has to say.

40

ONCE BROKEN, NOW SPOKEN Once broken, we’ve experienced the loss of loved ones, family and friends. Once broken, we’ve experienced the loss of time we’ll never see again. Once broken, we’ve had broken promises, dreams and lives. In the race of life, always last, never winning the prize. Now spoken for by our Lord, who bled and died. He’s now our husband and we are His bride. Now spoken for we have life and peace. We have love and joy in Him that will never cease. Now spoken for in Him, we live again. He is our Supreme Creator, Our Lord, Our Savior…Our Friend.

41

REMIND YOURSELF OF WHO YOU ARE Remind yourself of who you are. Confess it everyday. Live for tomorrow and not just for today. Remind yourself of who you are. There is greatness resting in you. Remind yourself of who you are. Confess it until it’s true.

42

LET GOD’S CONSCIENCE BE YOUR GUIDE Let God’s conscience be your guide. Don’t you fall victim to your pride. Let Him be your God and King. Let Him be Lord of everything. Never in haste make a choice. But seek God first, be receptive to hear and obey His voice. Then for you, doors will open wide. As you let God’s conscience be your guide.

43

TRUE FRIENDS True friends none can compare. For they are the ones of fulfilled dreams and answered prayers. True friends are there no matter the seasons. True friends make sure that things are fine, no matter what the reason. True friends never ask the question why, when it’s time to stand side by side. True friends are a special breed that care in times of abundance and in times of need. Through thick and thin, there’s nothing more special than true friends.

44

YOUR MIND CAN’T COMPREHEND God is doing things for you your mind can’t comprehend. All because you started living in God and stopped living in sin. Now you’re doing things you’ve never done before. You’re walking in God’s divine abundance and yet, still there’s more. Once a foe, now a friend; God is doing things for you, your mind can’t comprehend. Isn’t it exciting to see in you all what God has done? Eyes haven’t seen and ears haven’t heard all you will become.

45

YOU ARE BORN TO BE GREAT You are born to be great. Don’t deny who you are. You are born to be great. Destined in life to go far. You are born to be great. You are what others dream about. You are born to be great You believe when others counted you out. You are born to be great. You are a product of prayerful, planted and watered seeds. You are born to be great. Increased by God and destined to succeed.

46

THE DECREE THE DECREE = I am an Advancing Positive Being full of creative thoughts, intelligent substance, certain way thinking and formless substance. I am divinely favored by You, oh God. Your universe for which I am thankful to receive unlimited wealth and perfect health to be channeled through me to bless You and others. With humble gratitude, I thank You for being the Supreme Being that has granted me certain way thinking. Therefore; I am first thankful to You, the Supreme God for your creative thoughts, intelligent substance, the universe, certain way thinking and formless substance that comes to arrest me with infinite resources to bless You, others and myself. By James Hayes Personal Note: After reading this decree, may the blessings of God make you rich and add no sorrow, Proverbs 10:22. Bible reference: Proverbs 23:3, Hebrews 11:11, Mark 11:23

47

NEVER TAKE GOD FOR GRANTED Never take God for granted. Always be thankful for what He’s done. Give God the glory, tell the story about the victories for you, He’s won. Never take God for granted if you do, you won’t go far. Never take God for granted. Acknowledge Him in all of your ways. Bless the Lord with all of your heart and always give Him praise.

48

WALK OUT ON FAITH Walk out on faith; don’t you hold back. Start living in abundance and stop living in lack. Stir up the gifts that dwell in you. It’s your time to speak. Your time to do. God wants to increase you more and more. He wants to open heavens’ window and open heavens’ doors. Walk out on faith, His light you’ll see as you walk, right there, He’ll be.

49

GREATNESS IS IN YOU Greatness is in you. Don’t let it go to waste. Greatness is God’s gift in you that can never be replaced. Yes, greatness is in you to triumph in what lies ahead. Greatness is in you no matter what others in your past have said. Greatness is in you. You are a gift of His creation. For God in you is Great and deserves your appreciation.

50

ONLY GOD Only God is able to speak life into that which is dead. Only God can cause His word to live in us, just like He said. Only God can feel the void no other can occupy. Many substitutes have come and gone, but none that satisfy. Only God can take broken vessels and make them anew. Only God can shower us with blessings just like sun shining and the morning dew. Only God can cause the dumb to speak, the deaf to hear and the blind eyes to see. Only God and Him alone, knows what’s truly best for you and me.

51

SPEAK LOUD AND SAY NOTHING Body speak loud. Soul speak loud. Spirit speak loud and say nothing. Say nothing that hurts. Say nothing that makes bad circumstances worse. Life speak loud and say nothing. Love speak loud and say nothing. Joy speak loud and say nothing. Peace speak loud and say nothing. Happiness speak loud and say nothing. Health speak loud and say nothing. Body speak loud. Soul speak loud. Spirit speak loud. Speak loud and say nothing.

52

YOU ARE BORN FOR OTHERS You are born for others. And others are born for you. You are created for God’s glory, so be careful in life what you do. You are born for others. So that in others God’s will is fulfilled. You are born for others and with His Spirit, you are sealed. You are born for others. Move self out of the way. Be a servant in God’s kingdom. Then He will answer when you pray.

53

GOD IS CONCERNED ABOUT US When it seems unimportant to others how we feel, God is concerned about us. When life appears to be standing still, God is concerned about us. God is concerned about all that we pray for. In God’s own time, our concerns will be no more.

54

THIS IS OUR SEASON This is our season, we’re going higher. This is our season of God’s consuming fire. This is our season, we better believe it. God is speaking. We better receive it. This is our season, God has spoken. Nothing missing, nothing lost, never lacking and nothing broken. This is our season; our time has come to live in God’s presence for our battles He’s won.

55

DON’T GIVE UP Don’t give up, no matter what others say. Be strong, hold on and take the time to pray. Don’t give up; never lose sight of your dreams. Don’t give up; life’s not as bad as it seems. Don’t give up, your greatest desires are about to be achieved. Don’t give up, have faith and just receive.

56

I’M GROWING AND YOU CAN’T STOP ME I’m growing and you can’t stop me. I’m focused and determined and destined to fulfill my purpose. I’m growing and you can’t stop me. My spirit is willing and my future is thrilling. I’m growing and you can’t stop me. It’s not about age; it’s about looking forward and turning to my life’s next page. I’m growing and you can’t stop me. You’ve tried and tried but here I am, you failed. Oh, one more thing my life is not for sale. I’m growing and you can’t stop me.

57

GOD IS MORE THAN ENOUGH These words we all need to hear. God is more than enough. People and things in our life are not all they appear, but God is more than enough. There is nothing in this world that can make us complete. So when life gets tough, don’t accept defeat, declare I’m strong when you feel weak. God is more than enough.

58

DON’T SETTLE FOR LESS Don’t settle for less, for you I have the very best. Why settle for less, when you can have the best? I knew your thoughts, before they entered your mind. I was there before there was such a thing as time. So don’t be in a hurry to do things your way. Take time to listen to what I have to say. I will direct you into all truth. See I’m here right now, but I was there in your youth. Why settle for people and things that don’t mean you well? When you know that I love you and in me you’ll never fail. I know how to give you what you want and what you need. I promise you if you listen, you’ll never be deceived. Don’t settle for less, for you I have the very best.

59

FROM THE CROWN OF MY HEAD From the crown of my head to the soles of my feet, I refuse to reside in a place of defeat. I will not be content with settling for less; when I can live abundantly blessed. From the crown of my head to the soles of my feet, it’s God’s kingdom that I will seek. The kingdom of God I will seek first and with no delay.

Outside is not the place where we should seek to be, but in God’s presence through eternity.

SELF IMPROVEMENT THE NEXT LEVEL

1st Story I choose to remember what others choose to forget. I choose to remember the Sunday evening I worked at the hospital. The charge nurse requested that I bring my keyboard to work to play during evening group. I was to accompany one of the patients which agreed to share his talents with the patients in the hospital. This particular patient sang and recited lyrics which he says he created through the inspiration of God. Well, the patient sang original music and spoken word. He was warmly received by the other patients. He was so received, that other patients wanted to participate in the evening group with their respective talents. Two patients stood out. One patient, who was developmentally disabled, asked if she could sing a song. She sang “Jesus Loves Me.” She sang it well even with her severe challenges. She sang until the other patients sang with her. She sang until another patient stood up who never says anything. She stood up and began to sign with her hands the song “Jesus Loves Me.” 215

The patients and staff were so astounded that they applauded for the lady who sang and the lady who signed. Tears of joy were flowing in the room. Another young lady also sang and was very inspiring to the group. In conclusion, in the group a male patient wanted to pray. He gave an inspiring prayer. It was a very inspirational, powerful moment in the hospital. There was a peace in the room. Patients, while at there lowest estates, were able to find inner strength to smile, cry tears of joy, sing, unite, commune and fellowship with each other. I choose to remember what others choose to forget.

2nd Story I choose to remember what others choose to forget. I remember meeting a patient that was an elderly lady. She informed me that she did not want to go back to live with her daughter and her boyfriend because they are verbally and physically abusive to her. So right now she is homeless. She also informed me she has a son out of state who is also homeless. She was hysterical, depressed and crying regarding her problems. I instructed her to write down her desires for her son and herself and to thank God for fulfilling her desires by speaking it into the atmosphere. The very next day, when I arrived at work, she ran up to me with a smile on her face. She informed me that her son is no longer homeless, but now lives in a shelter and is doing well. Not only that, but she also has a place to go, once she leaves the hospital. That day we celebrated God for what he did for her and her son. However, a few days later, she was upset and depressed again. She informed me that her placement fell through. She was again technically homeless. I asked her if she forgotten what God had recently done for her and her son. She said “no.” I told her to write her revised desires down again and thank God again. 217

The next day she came to me with tears in her eyes and she said, “James, I have a place to live and it’s near my family and friends.” I choose to remember what others choose to forget.

SELF IMPROVEMENT THE NEXT LEVEL

3rd Story I choose to remember what others choose to forget. I had an opportunity to meet a man, who to others as well as myself, appeared to be an individual who would be a member of one of the motorcycle gangs. You know, the Harley Davidson type. He wore the classic confederate flag bandanna on his head, hairy broad shoulders, tattoos and a sleeveless shirt. He had the bad boy attitude. However, he was in a hospital where he needed help. He was already complaining how bad the services were on his first day in the hospital. He bragged about how he hurt folk in the past. He made threats that if someone would touch him, he would hurt them. However, he needed help and support. In fact, he was crying out for it. He just didn’t know it at the time. Well, he attended one of my groups. He complained that staff was ignoring him. I tried to explain to him that was not the case. The staff was simply engaged in other job responsibilities at the time. So I asked him what his request was and I assisted him in fulfilling his request. He still had a chip on his shoulder after I helped him. Well, now it was time for those that smoked to smoke. He had no cigarettes, and no family or friends to bring him some. So he found himself begging others in the community for cigarettes. His peers weren’t willing to give him any because of his attitude and his threats during group. So eventually he came to me again and asked if I would purchase him some cigarettes. Well, I agreed to purchase the cigarettes. He gave me 219

the money. When I got to the store, it wasn’t enough. So I added my money to pay for his cigarettes. I took the cigarettes back to this man and told him that I wanted a pack of cigarettes for the other patients that don’t have any. I told him I had to add money to buy his cigarettes. He gladly gave me the pack of cigarettes. I know it was hard for him to say thank you to a black man based upon his background, however, he said thank you to me. And he said thank you several times that day. He had to let go of the pride, the attitude and any other feelings he had against people like me at least for that moment. Hopefully I made a positive impact on him that hopefully will change his thinking and attitude concerning people who don’t look like him. I don’t smoke, but I felt it necessary to demonstrate to him real love. I hope he got the message. I choose to remember what others forget. For God is not finished with me yet.

7th Story I choose to remember what others choose to forget. I remember working with and observing two patients both looking uncomfortable on their beds. One patient was a black female, the other an elderly white male. The black female needed to be positioned correctly in her bed. She also requested an extra blanket. I repositioned her in her bed and gave her another blanket. She thanked me for the assistance. She was too weak to move. Now, when I finished with her, I remembered the white male in his bed. He was also weak and needed to be assisted. However, he needed additional assistance. You see, he was laying on dirty sheets and blankets. His area was filthy. I heard these words in my ears. The way I served the black young lady, I needed to serve the white elderly gentleman with the same quality service. So I cleaned his area, washed his mattress, put clean bedding on his bed, picked up his personal property off the floor and assisted him in his wheel chair. I choose to remember what others choose to forget. For God is not finished with me yet.

Some people we meet are for a season, and some are for a reason. Some people are for a lifetime. Some people are for our growth, and some people we meet are for their growth.

WHEN GOD SAYS NO When God says no, He is protecting us from ourselves and preserving us for our dreams. When God says no, God’s divine purpose for our lives is being fulfilled and His glory is esteemed. When God says no, we are whole and we are healed. Even the more we obey His will. For God’s no is as great as His yes. For in Him, we are eternally blessed.
