AN ACT OF FAITH and Abandon Everything for the sake of Love

 

by Creflo Dollar | 

Most people have a narrow definition of what it means to act in faith. The world defines it as doing something to prove one’s religious devotion or trustworthiness, or as some kind of action that tests one’s morals or beliefs. However, biblical faith goes far deeper than empty works done to prove our intentions to someone else. It has nothing to do with religion, but everything to do with trust in God.

The kind of faith God wants us to have gives us tremendous power the world doesn’t have. It requires the courage to step out and do what no one else is doing. Genuine belief involves more than just paying lip service to something, but physically following up. If we believe something strongly enough, an action will be born out of it. “Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone” (James 2:17).

Most people think that faith is simply agreeing with God’s Word in their hearts, and doing nothing else. It’s essential that we agree with what He says, but we demonstrate true agreement by going one step further and taking action. The world calls it “putting your money where your mouth is.” God calls it putting our faith to work. “I can already hear one of you agreeing by saying, ‘Sounds good. You take care of the faith department, I’ll handle the works department.’ Not so fast. You can no more show me your works apart from your faith than I can show you my faith apart from my works. Faith and works, works and faith, fit together hand in glove” (James 2:18, MSG).

Acting according to what we think we should do based on our own intellectual reasoning requires no faith. A true act of faith often contradicts everything that makes logical sense, and requires that we follow God’s prompting even when we have no tangible proof to show yet. “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1). One hallmark of trusting in God is if the world completely rejects what we’re doing. When He calls us and gives us an assignment, we mustn’t expect the world to agree with us.

Taking that first step of faith may seem like the scariest thing we’ve ever done, but we shouldn’t just stop at one step. We must consistently keep our faith out in the field and refuse to take it in until it gets us the results we’re believing for, regardless of what’s happening around us. Depending on our physical senses hinders our faith walk; therefore, when things get confusing we need to rely on God to lead us in the right direction. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take” (Proverbs 3:5, 6, NLT).

This is easier said than done. When Peter walked on water, everything was fine as long as he was focusing on Jesus. He only began to sink when he got distracted by his circumstances and let fear and doubt stop his forward progress. Our faith can enable us to walk on top of the storms of life, move mountains that seem as if they won’t budge, and do the impossible. “Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth” (Mark 9:23).

Whatever is staring us in the face is no match for our faith. God wants us to succeed. Believing this will keep us going.

CoachTube Football Featuring: How a Stoplight Can Make Your Fly Sweep Takeoff with Live IFL Action!

 

How a Stoplight Can Make Your Fly Sweep Takeoff

• By Keith Grabowski
 

---

He is considered the guru when it comes to the motion sweep and coaches from every level seek his advice on running it.

While he didn’t invent the fly sweep (aka Jet sweep), Mark Speckman, assistant head coach/runningbacks UC-Davis, did study and run it enough to be considered the “Godfather” of the Fly Sweep.  

Speckman has coached the sweep at the high school, college, and pro levels. He has been running it since 1979 and shares the background and his overall philosophy “beat you with the sweep or beat you with the sweep” in this video:

Speckman believes that there are six keys to running the sweep that allow him to put together his game plan in using the sweep and complimentary plays to beat a defense and he shares those in this video:

A wealth of knowledge on what makes the play go from under center or gun, Speckman developed a “Stoplight” system for the run that allows it to be successful in various situations.  Most offensive coordinators will go away from the sweep if it gets stopped, but Speckman’s “stoplight system” allows him to keep calling the play.

Green light sweep is a get outside sweep.  The perimeter is being blocked in a way that the sweep should get to the outside.  The sweeper is running to get outside.

Yellow light sweep = read the block of the Tight End on the end man on the line.  This is much like a outside zone version of the play with a tighter aimpoint than the greenlight sweep. The tight end’s goal is to reach the defender and allow the ball to get outside. The TE will run and try to reach but can tip him out and turn it into a kickout.  The sweeper’s coaching points are 

See the butt - cut it up

When in doubt - take it out

Red light is a cut it up sweep. The tight end or blocker assigned to the end man on the line is kicking him out and the sweeper is going up inside that block.  You will see many NFL teams use a variation of this with a TE or flexed TE.  This is like the outside zone cut made upfield by the back.  The play is called when the defense is flowing hard to stop the sweep thus allowing an inside lane.

Speckman illustrates all of his key coaching points as well as analyzing the red, yellow, and green light sweeps in his clinic “Six Keys to Beating the Defense with Fly Sweep.”

 

Consider how having the sweep as a tool regardless of what the defense is doing makes the the sweep play so much more effective and efficient in your offense as you prepare for next season.

 

Coach Speckman spent time answering questions about the Fly Sweep on The Coach and Coordinator Podcast. Listen here.

Pandemic shows risk of obesity, and challenge of weight loss

 

• Author Charlles Almeida

Jennifer Bergin was already obese and pre-diabetic prior to the pandemic, and the discovery that she also had high blood pressure made her fearful of how sick she would become with COVID-19. She started walking three hours a day and lost 60 pounds.

Bergin, a 50-year-old Charlotte resident, said, "I just knew I was a strong target for having it and not recovering." She is no longer obese at 170 pounds and 5 feet, 4 inches tall, but she would like to continue to improve her health.

Obesity and related illnesses, such as diabetes, have been identified as risk factors for severe COVID-19 since the beginning of the pandemic. It was another reminder of the numerous underlying health conditions typically associated with obesity, as well as how difficult it may be to maintain weight loss over time. Despite the dangers, it's unclear how prevalent Bergin's extreme weight loss is.

Countless people of all sizes have gained or lost weight as a result of the pandemic across the country. For some, such as Bergin, not having to go to work meant more time for walking, less dining out, and more control over what she ate.

Others, however, found that being stuck at home meant moving less and eating more as a result of stress, worry, despair, or simply being close to the kitchen.

According to Karen H. Yeary, an obesity researcher at the Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center in Buffalo, N.Y., the range of weight fluctuations highlights the intricacies of obesity, particularly how much a person's circumstances can play in their health. She claims that this contradicts the concept that reducing weight is simply a question of willpower.

“It takes a lot of effort and energy to eat healthily and then to lose weight,” Yeary said.

Beatima, who stands 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighs around 170 pounds, said, "That really impacted me."

His efforts were aided by the epidemic, which made weight loss easier. He was no longer ordering takeout, going out with friends, or hosting his family's annual feasts.

He also found relief in dancing to YouTube videos, and he was motivated by the awareness that improving his health would lower his risk of developing severe COVID-19.

“I suppose if I got it when I was 300, it would be a lot more of a fight than if I got it today,” Beatima remarked.

Another reason obesity is so difficult to combat is that weight gain occurs gradually over time, making it easier to dismiss as a health problem. In the United States, one out of every four adults is fat, and one out of every three is overweight.

Despite the fact that the pandemic brought attention to the dangers of obesity, he claims that people are already accustomed to hearing about how hazardous it is to be overweight.

“It usually takes a much larger, life-changing event on a personal level,” he stated when asked what causes people to lose weight successfully.

Mickey Beatima, a 29-year-old Seattle man who began trying to reduce weight a few months before the pandemic when his diabetes caused eye difficulties, was one of those people.

People are generally motivated to reduce weight only after a severe health concern, such as a heart attack or a significant change in lifestyle, according to Eric Plaisance, an obesity researcher at the University of Alabama in Birmingham.

Christian Hainds, a 42-year-old Hammond, Indiana resident, shed around 50 pounds during the pandemic and is no longer considered obese at 180 pounds and 5 feet, 11 inches tall.

Over the years, his weight had crept up to roughly 230 pounds.

But it wasn't until he was diagnosed with diabetes around the time of the pandemic that he felt compelled to make adjustments, especially since the evidence was mounting that diabetes was one of the illnesses linked to severe coronavirus disease.

“All of the long-term terrible things that can happen as a result of obesity were no longer long-term concerns,” Hainds added.

For many others, the pandemic's focus on obesity dangers has waned as medicines and therapies have reduced the virus's threat, according to obesity researcher Yeary.

This could reduce the sense of urgency that was motivating certain people.

The pandemic's circumstances that made weight loss easier for some — more time for long walks, less dining out — are now dissipating.

For example, Beatima is spending more time with his family and has regained some weight.

He isn't concerned, though, that it would derail his overall fitness goals because,

According to him, the epidemic taught him how his weight was linked to what he valued, such as being able to spend time with his nieces and nephews for many years to come.

“That new ground is appreciating the worth of my physical, social, and mental wellbeing," he explained.

The Best Guns On Your Block? 10 Best Biceps Exercises for Building Muscle

 Over the years, a number of studies have sought to investigate the best biceps exercises. This shouldn't surprise you! You know the first thing you'd do if you ever got access to an EMG machine would be to hook it up to your guns. Be honest.

So, what's the winner? Based on biceps EMG alone, it's usually the concentration curl, a staple in the bodybuilding regimens of golden-era lifters like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lou Ferrigno. But here's the catch: We've never met a single bodybuilder who whole-heartedly agreed.

Why not? For one, experienced lifters know that while muscle activation matters, it isn't the only thing that determines the best muscle-building exercises. Instead, we used a number of parameters to choose the 10 best, including:

• Ease of learning and performing
• Total muscle stimulation and intensity
• Popularity among diehard lifters and bodybuilders (This matters!)
• Availability of equipment in commercial gyms

You don't have to consider this a definitive list. Take it as the start of the discussion, then go experiment for yourself in the following three complete workouts!

10 Best Biceps Exercises

• Barbell or EZ-Bar Curl
• Cable Curl
• Dumbbell Curl
• Chin-Up
• Reverse-Grip Barbell Row
• Hammer Curl
• Incline Curl
• Concentration Curl
• Preacher Curl
• Drag Curl

Barbell Or EZ-Bar Curl

Why it's on the list: The standard shoulder-width curl engages the short and long heads of the biceps equally, you can alter grip width to slightly change the emphasis (wide to target the short head, narrow for the long head), you can really pile on the weight, and you don't have to sit there endlessly working one arm at a time.

How many more reasons do you need? If you're only going to do one biceps exercise, make it this one.

Want to use a straight bar instead of a cambered EZ-bar? Have at it, if your wrists don't mind. A 2018 study found that while both variants produced greater activity than dumbbell curls, "The small difference between [barbell] and EZ variants… makes the choice between these two exercises a matter of subjective comfort."

Tactical P.E. Lesson 1 Train Like You Fight

 

LESSON BRIEF

Your life, and the lives of others, depends on how well you've prepared for the unexpected.

You can't train one way and compete another.

Doing your squats and deadlifts in the gym is great for general fitness. But if you're a tactical operator, be sure to put your gear on. When you are kitted up for an operation, your gear could weigh 40 to 70 pounds. And sometimes much more. (Continued below....)

(...Continued....)That's why it makes sense to train like you fight and wear your kit during some workouts.

What's the likelihood of you having to grab a downed victim, or a fellow tactical operator? In a real-world situation, you'll need the power, strength, and endurance to move yourself plus the injured.

A smart tactical operator also sets his kit up in a way to minimize operational friction. In other words, anything that slows you down in the battlespace. If you position your rifle magazines in a spot that forces you to take your eyes off of the target, the results could be fatal.

So build your kit to your mission. Your gear should fit your body, reduce friction under stress, and allow you to access the tools you need. Equipment setup and load stabilization is critical for tactical athletic success.

LESSON FAQ

QUESTION : How should I adjust my backpack for a perfect fit?

ANSWER : Follow the steps below to ensure comfortable carrying no matter what you're doing.

1. Load some weight into the backpack so you can get a good feel of how it will fit while it's packed. Then loosen all of the straps and put it on with all of the straps loose.

2. Tighten the hip belt. To do this, you'll want the padded hipbelts covering the iliac crest, or the very top of your hip bones. Tighten the straps until they are snug but not too tight.

3. Tighten the shoulder straps by pulling the straps straight down. Again, don't pull it too tight, you want to make sure your shoulders aren't carrying most of the weight.

4. Tighten the "load lifter" straps. The load lifters help pull the weight of your gear closer to your body. Pull the load lifters until the straps are at about a 45° angle to the backpack's body.

5. Next, fasten and tighten the sternum strap. The sternum strap pulls the shoulder straps together to relieve some of the stress on your shoulders. Keep your sternum strap about an inch below your collarbones.

6. Now that everything is tight, you can loosen the shoulder straps a bit. you should be able to feel the weight of the backpack ease onto your hips. Ideally, about 65% of the weight will ride on your hips.

Are You Imprisoned In Your Mind? And The Rock Almighty Devotional, Praise, and Worship with Ken Tamplin & Friends

 

Are You Imprisoned In Your Mind

• Author Franc Herbal

The mind is such a powerful and fundamental tool at our disposal that so many aren’t even aware nor able to grasp the fundamental truth so near at their finger tip.

The mind is the greatest tool that man has been blessed with upon his sojourn on earth and it is supposed, I repeat supposed to be a handy man and a means to an end for man to handle any and all the challenges and problems that man maybe thrown at in the course of his life experiences.

Yet again man isn’t fully aware of this amazing yet simple truth that is available to him. He is so caught up and totally wrapped up in the schemes and mechanics of his mind that he is lost to the real person inside – his real reality and true essence.

Why?

He think and believes that he is his mind!

Everything that is thrown at him he accepts, hook line and sinker and believes he is the thinker of the thoughts. He doesn’t even stop for a moment to even take a step back ask himself if he really the one bringing forth these thoughts or someone or something else within himself.

He is totally so wrapped up in his play acting and being in a semi state of reality where he thinks he is in control but in reality, he is not in control of anything. Neither his life nor reality for his choices in thoughts, words and actions.

This whole thing then begets the question – are you imprisoned by your mind? The one tool that should be a helper and a servant to you the master and controller.

This creates the obvious reality in the world all around us where so many aren’t even aware that they are conditioned and controlled and ultimately imprisoned in their own minds.

They slumber on carrying out their daily activities which they think yet again is their own doing and conscious thought, but do not realize that it is till yet a part of their subconscious programming that has been set in place and motion from childhood.

We are conditioned and programmed to wake up in the morning and go through our usual routine of everyday life and at night, close our eyes in sleep and rest and to awaken the next day to the same routine, practically the same thing for the rest of our lives.

How many of us are even aware of the fact that we haven’t really consciously chosen our life the way it is and that all that we think is normal routine is unconscious subconscious programming that has been set in place from past lives to the present one and to childhood.

In childhood we are trained and conditioned to observe, follow and mimic people and their actions and suppose and believe, that this is the way things should be.

We assume that since its family and loved ones that whatever they do is the right way of life and the right thing to do and as such imprint that into our mind over and over and over again until it becomes a solid core belief and starts working out as a reality in your life.

Even when these actions are wrong and morally incorrect, who is there to guide you and show you that such is wrong and can only lead to destruction and fatality?

Take the case of children who are born into homes where domestic violence is the norm and the order of the day and they actually witness their mothers and sister and other females being brutalized, who is there to show these young ones that this act is born of fear and anger and not love.

Who is there to show them that love embraces all and only acts in the best interest of all its beloved and can suffer and endures all things for them and for their sake?

Nobody is or nobody cares enough!

So the child registers this in his subconscious and it becomes a belief and habit and as he continuously and constantly observes more and more of this scenario in his life, his belief grows more and more that this is the way to be and the way of life.

His subconscious takes up this view of reality and starts manifesting it in his life when the time comes after it has solidified over years of silently and unconsciously cementing it for subsequent manifestation in his life.

When these cycles then manifest and play out in his life later as a reality, society labels him and gives him names that are erroneously incorrect haven forgotten the roles played my family and loved ones in perpetuating this sad reality.

He is humiliated, disgraced, embarrassed and subjected to trial and subsequent imprisonment without a fair hearing that is unbiased and free of criticism and resentment.

They forget that he is just a victim of circumstances and failed parenting and is subsequently imprisoned in his mind as he believes he is acting in the right way and would uphold this view no matter what and defend himself as best as he can.

If people and the society at large would but take a moment to critically review this case and see things objectively and from the standpoint of the whole, rather than in parts that the law courts always have cases involved in, they would marvel and be less critical and condemning of these people.

They would realize that society failed them as custodians of the law to train them into responsible citizens, guidance to guide them in making the right choices and understanding that in life you have a choice but are not oblivious of the consequences associated with whatever choice or choices made.

The family unit as a whole also has the responsibility of pointing the child in the right direction so that the he understands what he is doing and can make the right choice confidently.

But alas society has yet to understand that crimes of passion and most cases of domestic violence are actually people imprisoned in their own minds and guided by their subconscious programming from childhood which they haven’t outgrown.

In most cases, it is false and wrong images they carry in their mind from childhood, that no-one has taken the time to help them correct and which they grow with into adulthood believing such to be true and the right choice.

In closing, i believe the wisdom below will serve you in life:

“Thank you God, for this beautiful day today. Help me to always see your love reflected in each and every moment, no matter how challenging life may be. Remind me to always look to my heart for the LESSONS and BLESSINGS in life”.

Jean Voice Dart!

These words of Inspirations from the enlightened ones will serve you even more:

“I wish I could show you when you are lonely or in darkness, the astonishing light of your own being”.

Hafiz

“Within you is the light of a thousand suns, within you is unimaginable beauty”.

Robert Adam

“Don’t you know it yet, it is your light that illuminates the worlds”.

Rumi

“I am the light of the world. You are the light of the world”.

Jesus

“Your heart is the light of the world, don’t cover it with your mind”.

Mooji

Taking responsibility and recognizing that we cause all of our core issues is not a reality for most people.

Taking responsibility to see life differently without justification, judgement and blame, rejection or anxiety, fear or anger would really help you in the long run.

Every condition, disease or disorder is a spiritual condition that has come up for review and to be dealt with and taken care of. Once the lesson is truly learnt and absorbed, the conditions or situation reverses itself and clears out and that’s when we say a healing has occurred and a miracle has happened.

Every problem preludes a negative thought and mindset so watch your thoughts and emotions carefully and guard them jealously.

Nothing can stop you if you have the courage, commitment and the discipline to move through your limitations.

‘Let yourself be drawn by the stronger pull of that which you truly love’

The purpose of life is to discover who you really are, know and create yourself and experience yourself as who you really are (not the body that houses you) as a part of the divine source to give and receive love and serve all creatures of the divine.

As long as you don’t or you refuse to see yourself as a victim then life becomes a challenge that you can overcome with commitment and consistent work and it will pay you back handsomely.

A lesson you avoided in a past life will be forwarded to the current life until you get the lesson right or understood the reason for it. Each time the lesson is more intense, than the last experience until you recognize it.

This is an interactive universe where we all work together in each other’s lessons and life whether we want it or not or whether we are aware of it or not.

Our fears always surface when we least expect it and when it does, its better to face the lesson and conquer it.

You can take back control of your life and drive it the way you would rather want it to be and have things and have things the way you want it to be.

It takes taking responsibility for all the wrongs that have happened in your life because whether you agree or not, you are held responsible for all your:

1. THOUGHTS

2. WORDS

3. ACTION

Nobody wants to listen to your cry of wolf or denial or victim mentality and it won’t take you far except you sit still, take stock of your life and determine and desire to turn it around and that’s where and when the answers or solutions come in.

If and when you are now truly ready to take back control and look out for the patterns and lessons in your life to understand the mind aberrations that are causing your problems and have taken control of your life.

That’s when the creative centers open within and you can finally have the tools to help you change the course of your life and manifest your destiny.

To succeed in life, you must refuse to see yourself as a loser no matter what the prevailing situation or condition might be and you evaluate what you can do to succeed.

The most important qualities are self-esteem, self-worth and self-confidence and that you understand that you are entitled to abundance in your life.

You can do anything you want to and be anything you want to, provided you believe that it is possible.

Victims do not hold that belief!

So ask yourself – are you a victim?

Sometimes a little help from a Therapist or Mental Health Consultant like myself and a host of others can help guide you on this journey into an amazing life that is yours and yours only.

Our approach to counseling and mental health is to help the people we work with to uncover where they feel blocked in life, discover their weaknesses and challenges and then to assist them in moving through those obstacles.

The Truth About Prosperity and Don’t Like What You See? Change It! | Jesse & Cathy Duplantis

 Happy Independence Day Athletes and Warriors!

• Author Nancy Norman

How many of you have heard it said that it is our Christian duty to be poor and that poverty is a virtue? Many of us have heard that false bit of information at a very young age and it has ruled our life for far too many years.

If we look at the teachings of Jesus we see that Jesus fully understood the idea of God’s abundance back of all things. Jesus lived the law of prosperity, knowing that God is the abundant, everywhere present, unfailing resource out of which all good comes. Jesus had no visible possessions, and yet He could feed five thousand people with food through praising and giving thanks to the invisible Spirit of plenty.

There is always more than enough

Jesus taught that God is our source and has provided all things for us. He believed that there is always abundance to meet every need and He demonstrated that fact in His ministry and His life. He lived the kingdom of God, telling us there is no absence of God in the universe and no shortage in God. Would a kind, loving, good God create needs and desires which could not be satisfied? No, there is always more than enough to meet our every need and more. God always brings the increase.

Jesus’ teachings indicate that if we are experiencing lack we are not accepting the fullness of our own unique relationship with the kingdom of God.

Lack is simply the concealment of good or abundance.

We are always as rich and prosperous as we think we

are, and the only poverty we hold is in mind. We are constantly being told how bad things are; however, Jesus tells us be not anxious, don’t worry. "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink, nor about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?…for the Gentiles seek all these things and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things shall be yours." (Matthew 6:25,32,33)

"Get still and acknowledge the guiding principle. . ."

Eric Butterworth, in his book Discover the Power Within, states, "When you have a problem – no matter what it is or how serious it seems – don’t worry about it. Pray about it. Don’t try to work it out with human resources alone. Get still and acknowledge the guiding principle and the all-sufficient substance of the Universe. Have faith in God, in an opulent, orderly Universe. And have faith in yourself and your innate divinity, by which you can do what you need to do and have what you desire to have."

Jesus believed, taught and demonstrated that God would provide for our human needs. Being anxious or worrying about food and clothing doesn’t produce food or clothing, it gives power to lack, and that produces more lack. The word worry comes from the Anglo-Saxon word to choke or to strangle. When we become

anxious and worry we choke off our channels of good.

The good that wants to enter our life cannot enter because we have such a stranglehold on our fear, and the good we so want to experience cannot pass.

Fear takes hold of our emotions and causes us to turn from faith in God, to protecting what we have. The harder we hold on in fear the more we lose.

God cannot supply lack. Lack is an attitude of mind

There is no lack or limitation in the mind of God, therefore there can be no lack or limitation in our own individual minds. We must lift up our eyes and see the wonder, beauty, and plenty God has so freely and generously supplied to us.

What we desire is waiting for our acceptance

A number of years ago the movie The Lion King made its entrance on the world scene. I loved the movie, and my favorite part was watching the entire animal kingdom dancing and singing the song Hakuna Matata. Hakuna Matata, "No worries for the rest of your days." Be not anxious, no worries for the rest of our days. We are beloved children of a loving, giving God. God is more than equal to meeting our every need. Anytime we have a desire or need, it is a divine notification that that which we desire or need is already awaiting our acceptance of it. It is ready to come into manifestation. It is God tapping on the door of our consciousness saying, "That which you desire or need is already here awaiting your acceptance." So accept we must. Affirm with power and authority, "I accept! I am ready and willing to be enriched." "God richly provides for my every need and desire now." "I put God first and I am richly and abundantly blessed."

Know God is the source for all good

God’s abundance is back of all things, "Be not anxious, don’t worry." God is the abundant, everywhere present, unfailing resource out of which all good comes!
