Joel Osteen Ministries Featuring: Victoria Osteen - Be Mindful of the Words You Speak

David prayed in Psalm 141, “Lord, set a guard over my mouth. Keep watch over the door of my lips.” He was saying, “God, I am in a difficult situation. Don’t let me speak words that get my life off course. I don’t want to speak what I see and feel. I want to speak what You want. I want to go in Your direction for my life.”   And that’s exactly what you and I need to speak in the midst of the pressures of life. Our words can send us in the direction of God.

We serve a positive God who spoke life and light into a dark and void situation and created this world. And He has given us the privilege to do the same—to speak into our situations, to begin to prophesy our future, to direct our life where it needs to go so that we can obtain the miracles that He has for us. This is message #760, "Be Mindful of the Words You Speak", by Victoria Osteen. For more inspirational messages, visit https://www.JoelOsteen.com/Messages

Is it a Resource or the Source?

Post by Joel Osteen

I talked with a man who had worked for the same company for thirty-two years when, out of nowhere, it was sold. He was out of a job and so discouraged. He never dreamed he would have to start over at his age. What could he do? I told him that job was simply the resource God had used to bless him. It was not his source. God was his Source, and He already had another resource lined up. About six months later, the man came back so happy. He said, "I didn't just get another job. I got the position I've always dreamed of." His income was almost double, the benefits were better, and the workplace was closer to his home.
It's easy to look to people or to our job as our source. Yes, God uses people, jobs, and contracts, but they are not the Source. They are simply resources that the Source uses. If you're seeing anything or anyone other than God as your source, when something happens to them, you'll think, "What am I going to do? The source has been cut off." No, the Source is just fine. God is still on the throne. The Scripture says, "Every good and perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights" (James 1:17). That good gift may come through people, but it came from your heavenly Father. Your salary may come through your company, but it came from God. That contract may have come through a connection, but it came from God.
That's why you don't have to play up to people at work or compromise to get a good break. People are not your provider; God is your provider. If you don't understand this, you can make people your god. "If my supervisor doesn't like me, if this contract ends, if this client leaves, how will I make it?" Take people off the throne. People are not your source; God is your source. It's nice when they're good to you and recognize your value, but don't become so dependent on them that you start seeing them as your provider. Recognize that behind the paycheck, behind the career, behind the opportunity is the Most High God. He's causing people to be good to you, causing doors to open, causing clients to seek you out.
Be thankful for the resource, but keep your eyes on the Source. Recognize Him as your source right now and say, "Father in heaven, thank You that You're my provider. You're the Source of everything good in my life. I recognize that every good thing comes from You."

BodyRockTV Lisa Marie Featuring: Resistance Bicep Holds & Curls and Fit Foods: Adaptogens & Where to Find Them

Fit Foods: Adaptogens and Where to Find Them

Adaptogens aren’t anything new; natural medicine has been touting their benefits for years, but science is slowly starting to catch up. Studies are starting to show that they can be effective and natural ways to treat the various mental and physical effects of stress. Adaptogens are actually plants, herbs, and fungi that grow naturally and can be used as supplements, brewed into teas, or even cooked into your food for a fit boost. You can find them at most health food stores, pharmacies, and even in your grocery store. Keep reading to find out the most common and most-used adaptogens and exactly how they can benefit you. Of course, make sure you check with your doctor first before introducing anything new into your regimen!

1. Panax Ginseng

You’ve definitely heard of ginseng, and probably already use it for an energy boost from time to time. Panax ginseng (found in Asia) is also very well known as an adaptogen thanks to its myriad of potential benefits found by using its root. In humans, studies have shown that Panax ginseng can improve overall calmness, while also working to improve the working memory performance of adults. Other studies in animals have shown that Panax ginseng could potentially help with other stress response systems and with treating stress disorders.

Add ginseng to smoothies for a delicious and easy way to boost your intake!

2. Holy Basil

Holy basil is a plant found in India that has been a huge part of Ayurvedic medicine, and it’s not hard to see why. Aside from having a pretty compelling name, holy basil has been a go-to for everything from the common cold to skin infections. The research is still minimal, but preliminary studies have shown holy basil to have stress-fighting abilities thanks to three phytochemical compounds that combat physical stress. The leaves, stems, and seeds are used to create various medicines, but you can also add it to stir-fry dishes and soups thanks to its peppery taste.

3. Ashwagandha

Ashwagandha is also known as Indian ginseng, and this adaptogen has long been thought to lessen the effect of stress on the body in various ways. A recent double blind study, however, has actually proven ashwaganda to be an effective and safe way to improve adults’ resistance towards stress, and therefore to have a better quality of life. The root and berry of this plant are used for their adaptogen properties, but beware: the root has a strong aroma that might be off-putting at first.

4. Cordycep Mushrooms

If you love your mushrooms, you’re going to love these adaptogens. Cordyceps is a type of rare fungus grown in the high mountain regions of China that has been shown to reduce cortisol levels, which become elevated when we’re stressed and can cause weight gain. It may also help with athletic performance, by protecting the body from chronic stress.
Including adaptogens into a healthy diet can be a great way to help your body manage stress, but they can only do so much. Living well starts with exercise, adequate sleep and a balanced diet packed with nutritious food. A meal plan (like our NEW meal plan) can help you achieve that. Not only will our nutrition guide teach you the right foods to eat to achieve your goals, but a meal plan will show you exactly how to make those foods work for you, day in and day out with great recipes and healthy tips.

iHealthTube Featuring: Fluoride, Vaccines, Now Fish Oil? And Natural Treatments For Dog Itching And Cat Bladder Infections

So many suggestions regarding our health are changed over time. Could fish oil be the next? Dr. Robert Rowen discusses his beliefs about fish oil and why that might be the case. Is what we thought about fish oil wrong?

 Natural Treatments For Dog Itching And Cat Bladder Infections

By: Dr. Andrew Jones

 The skin: why your dog is itching

The skin is the largest organ of your pets' body and reflective of what is going on in the body. Regularly brush your pet looking for fleas, lice or ticks. The hair coat should be soft and shiny.

If you are seeing areas of excessive shedding in your pet then you may be dealing with certain skin conditions such as mange, ringworm, hypothyroid disease or allergies; treatments for these are discussed in detail in my book, Veterinary Secrets Revealed.

If your pet has areas of hair missing around the face that are not itchy, then he may have a type of mange called demodex. This small parasite shows up in pets with depressed immune systems.

One very safe effective treatment is Vitamin E given at 400IU per 40lbs once daily for 3-4 weeks.

If your pet has an excess of flaky skin (dandruff), then she may be in need of a essential fatty acid supplement. Flax is the best source for dogs at a dose of 1 teaspoon per cup of dog food. For cats use the liquid supplement (such as fish oil).

Take note of any palpable lumps or bumps.

Lipomas (benign fatty tumors) commonly occur on the chest wall. If your dog has a soft moveable lump on her chest, then it is probably a fatty tumor.

Sebaceous cysts are another common lump; they can often be distinguished by squeezing out a cheesy substance. They are also very soft. Lumps and bumps become more prevalent as your pet ages and their immune system weakens.

The most important thing in helping your pet is having them on a premium quality diet and supplementing with additional antioxidants. The ones I suggest using are Vitamin E, Vitamin C and specific flavonoids.


Any lumps that are firm, rapidly growing, not easily moveable should be considered serious and examined by your veterinarian.

Allergies are one of the most common reasons that I see pets. There are a huge number of allergens. The 3 main classes are Food, Fleas and Environmental. The most common signs are excessive scratching, paw and anal licking, hair shedding and excess dandruff.

If you suspect that your pet has an allergy, then the first 2 things that I suggest are to eliminate external parasites as a cause, and to feed a hypo-allergenic diet for 4-6 weeks (there are many available).

Some very helpful at home remedies that I often use are:

TO THE BATH. An oatmeal shampoo with cool water will ease the itchiest skin. Leave the shampoo on for 10 minutes then rinse well. With the most severe allergies, bathe your pet twice weekly.

SOOTHE IT TOPICALLY. Calendula ointment is a herbal medication that has been successfully used to relieve the itch. Apply a thin coat twice daily to affected areas.

THE SUPPLEMENT CONNECTION. Fatty Acid supplements are very helpful in decreasing the level of inflammation. Omega 3 fatty acids are most important. A great, inexpensive source is ground Flax Seeds; I give 1 tsp per cup of dog food. Cats are unable to metabolize Flax, so I only recommend the liquid supplement for them. Other sources include fish oil, primrose oil and specific veterinary supplements.

 Evaluation of the Genital and Urinary system - cat bladder infections...

In male dogs look at the sheath of the penis to ensure there is no abnormal discharge. This is more common in intact males, so an easy remedy is to have your dog neutered. In female dogs examine the vulva. A common problem is skin fold infections.

These can be treated by washing the skin folds twice daily with an antiseptic such as Hibitane and applying a soothing cream such as Aloe Vera.

The urinary system is more difficult to evaluate, but there are some things you can do at home. Signs of a bladder infection are frequently urination, which may have blood and may be painful.

There are a number of home remedies for bladder infections, the most effective are Vitamin C and Cranberry juice. The Vitamin C acidifies the urine making it more difficult for the bacteria to grow, as well as dissolving the more common type of crystal, struvite. The Vitamin C dose is 250mg per 20lbs daily.


If you have a male cat, then it is imperative to determine that he is not completely blocked up. Using your thumb and other four fingers, palpate the entire lower abdomen. An obstructed bladder will feel like a firm distended balloon. If your male cat has this condition, it is an emergency and he must be treated by a veterinarian!

I discuss ways to prevent your cat from getting obstructed in my book; the most important thing is to feed a diet higher in moisture. This is accomplished with canned food. Then depending on the type of crystal he has it is important to either acidify the urine (with struvite) or make the urine more alkaline (oxalate crystals). An easy way to acidify the urine is to raise the meat protein level. Making the urine more alkaline involves decreasing the protein level and adding a supplement, potassium citrate.

If some of these tips and treatments have helped you, then get your copy of my book, Veterinary Secrets Revealed, today.

-Coach Nate

 Bullycide and School Shootings Became The Center Of The Nations Attention!
 On 20th April, 1999 it all started at Columbine High School when two young boys schemed and carried out an act so sinister, so wicked and so lethal that absolutely nobody could have been geared up for what was to occur. Armed with guns and with bombs located in exact places to cause as many fatalities as possible, on this day in history bullycide and school shootings became the center of the nation's attention.

The two youths were both victims of bullying. Feeling totally alone, their isolation led to depression, quickly developing into anger which in turn encouraged them to commit this horrendous crime. As a final point, following the bloodshed of twelve innocent lives being taken in this way, the two youths committed suicide.

The world as a whole tried to make sense of the incident. Regrettably, parents and teachers had not seen or recognized the signs. Although bullying is a pandemic within schools, it is a shocking, but true fact that the situation is not yet taken seriously. Furthermore, very few schools have procedures of any description in place to deal with this type of aggression. In denial, some even advocate that what happened at Columbine High School was an isolated incident.

Recently, however, bullying has taken on a whole new significance. The Virginia Tech shooting was the well known straw which broke the camel's back. On this occasion, there were apparent and exact signals that something was amiss. The boy who carried out these evil deeds was also bullied at school. He spent a lot of time on his own just thinking about how he could avenge those who had caused him harm. He prepared his plan and then executed it. Coincidentally, on 16th April, 2007, exactly eight years to the month the tragedy occurred at Columbine High School, thirty two pupils were killed at Virginia Tech. The troubled youth responsible for his, Seung-Hui Cho, also took his own life, continuing the sequence of school shootings involving bullying.

Today, we are still observing haphazard acts of violence with bloodshed as a consequence. So who stirred the sleeping monster? How did bullying soar to this level? All the indications were there just waiting to be spotted and acted upon .Parents and educators who chose not to see or intervene only contributed to make this situation even worse.

Take a look at the teenage bullying commemorative pages from Virginia Tech, and ask yourself if this tragedy could have been avoided. Surely the parent's of the boy in question must have sensed something was wrong? The pupils interviewed in connection with this incident told of the boy being a loner, not well known by anyone of them in particular, except for his roomies', who having given this extra thought, admitted that there had been clear signs that all was not well with the youth - something which could not have been said by any school officials.

When a child is bullied he is thrown into a world of terror and mistrust and these feelings rule his every movement. Although he will reveal absolutely none of his feelings in his eyes, he may well write down his thoughts in great detail, as did Seung-Hui Cho. His abhorrence for those who harmed him in his former school years developed into the eventual act of retribution. His despair gave way to his ultimate battle against those he considered to be his foes.

What would have happened if intervention had taken place and he had received proper help much earlier on by his parents or school officials taking him for counseling right at the very beginning of him being bullied? It's all so easy to say "what if" now!

Perhaps this quotation says it all: "There is no better way to take apart a character than to separate it." The two boys who executed the bullycide and school shootings were totally cut off and because the bullying had not been dealt with from the beginning, the only tranquility they felt they could achieve was in committing the final act of aggression.

This does not make these violent and brutal actions tolerable - No way!

For someone to prepare and implement such annihilation is a needless and horrendous tragedy - it's unspeakable! There are no words to express the heart break of leaving friends and relations to bear the loss of their loved ones.

This only proves that bullying, and even talk of bullycide and school shootings, has to be taken very seriously, by no means underestimating the situation and treating it as "urgent" in order to stop more lives being lost in this way.

 Leadership Attitude: The Stockdale Paradox

By: Harris Murray

 James B. Stockdale was one of the highly respected Vice admiral in the history of United States Navy. He set a remarkable example and won many awards for his high levels of spirit, courage and endurance. He was also Vice Presidential candidate in 1992.

James Stockdale was prisoner of war from September 9, 1965 to February 12, 1973 in Vietnam War. Stockdale credited that his stoic nature helped him to survive as a Prisoner of War.

Jim Collins included Stockdale philosophy as Stockdale Paradox in his renowned book ‘Good to Great’ as "confronting the brutal fact of the situation, yet at the same time, never give up hope."

When interviewed by Jim Collins about Vietnamese Prisoner of War (POW) camp, Stockdale said "I never lost faith in the end of the story, I never doubted not only that I would get out, but also that I would prevail in the end and turn the experience into the defining event of my life, which, in retrospect, I would not trade."

And when asked about who didn't make it out, Stockdale replied, "Oh, that’s easy, the optimists. Oh, they were the ones who said, 'We're going to be out by Christmas.' And Christmas would come, and Christmas would go. Then they'd say, 'We're going to be out by Easter.' And Easter would come, and Easter would go. And then Thanksgiving, and then it would be Christmas again. And they died of a broken heart."

Stockdale was born in Abingdon, Illinois in 1923. He graduated from Naval Academy in 1947 and joined Naval air station Pensacola, Florida for flight training. He received masters in International relations and Marxist theory from Stanford University and later preferred to be a fighter pilot. He rose through ranks quickly and reached highest position as a fighter squadron commander.

Stockdale was held as Prisoner of War in 1965 in North Vietnam while working on a mission in Vietnam War. There he was sent to one of the most infamous Hao Lo prison where he was brutally tortured physically and mentally. In the seven years where he was kept captive as prisoner of war, despite severely beaten, malnourished, asphyxiated, and spent few years in total dark room, he never succumbed to the North Vietnam captors.

During his seven years as POW, he resisted to cooperate with the captors, even when he was placed in solitary confinement. He was locked with leg irons in a bath stall, beaten, and whipped. He resisted them using him for propaganda by hurting himself relentlessly. When Stockdale came to know that he was to be paraded in public before foreign journalists by captors, he slashed his scalp with a razor to disfigure himself, so that the captors do not take him and use him for propaganda. When they put a hat, he had beaten his face with a stool to be swollen beyond recognition. When captors told him that other POWs are dying under torture, he slit his wrists to show that he preferred death rather to capitulate.

His uncanny determination is widely respected. He received ‘Medal of Honor’ in 1976, the highest military decoration awarded by the US government along with 26 other personal combat decorations.

Meet Yve

My journey started in 2013 with a sleeve surgery. Due to many health problems, the doctors decided to operate me. This gave me my ass kick and I wanted to change my life.
I've tried a lot of sports, but in 2015 I happened upon BodyRock by accident.  And I was scared. The exercises were amazing, and I did the workouts now and then, but then I abandoned it. In 2017, my weight loss had stalled again and I needed a new push. I started regularly with BodyRock again and quickly made progress. I love the workouts and make time to do them 5-6 times a week. I even wear one of the weighted vests.

Lisa inspires and motivates me again and again. Even though I haven't lost any weight the last few months, my body is still changing. I feel great and fit.

 

I feel so home in the BodyRock Insiders Group and I love the love and support all us members get there. Thank you Lisa and Sean. You're always there and keep me on track. I can't tell you in words how much you have changed my life.

Meet Lazina

 

It's been two weeks since I decided to take care of me first. I decided to restart BodyRock and eating healthy. I am making me a priority. The left picture is the day I started two weeks ago and the picture on right in black is today. I have lost 12lbs and 19 1/2 inches. I am doing my BodyRock workout and taking my Corgi for a 1-2 mile walk every day. I  am also doing intermittent fasting. I fast from 8pm-12pm. This picture was a little easier to post than the first one. I appreciate all of the support from all my BodyRock family. I thank Lisa, Sean and Freddy for BodyRock.
