We need to forget all things that are behind us in order to really run for the prize that is ahead of us. If we can’t forgive people, then we cannot run competitively against our own self. The devil will get a foothold in our lives easily through un-forgiveness and will start to make our lives miserable day after day. We train our body to run the spiritual race by denying itself the right to defend for itself and instead take up the cross of forgetting people’s trespasses by forgiving them and letting God work on behalf of us to justify us and to take vengeance in His own way and time.
Once we forgive others, we should not let the enemy try to harbor ill feelings in our heart against people whom we have already forgiven and thus make us not to forget it. If we do not forgive people from our heart unconditionally by the Lord’s strength, we will not forget their trespasses which will again bring us in to the bondage of un-forgiveness and grudge towards them. Thus bless those who curse you. We should apply by the Lord’s help to overcome this subtle work of our enemy Satan and his demons.
LOOK FORWARD!!!!!!
God will make a WAY.
As I write this blog this week, I find myself without fancy words, but I know that this Angel on a Mission continues to move forward. Setbacks, yes they occur; but as Pastor Steve said last week, they are not really SET BACKS they are SET UPS intended to mold us into just what God wants us to be. We are encouraged to maintain our focus. We are set up to run a race and we must remember that our eyes are on the prize not the race itself. We cannot believe the deceiver who is our enemy. He is the liar from the beginning in the Garden when he deceived Eve. He wants us to believe the lie that we will not make it in this world. The race is won, the victory celebration is about to begin.
Victory always starts in the head. It’s a state of mind. It then spreads with such radiance and such affirmations that destiny can do nothing
but obey
I realize that I have not said much about Exfuze in this blog but, it is a way of life with me. It is part of me as is my journey. Exfuze may be my business but the journey is most important. The business is a means to an end which will be part of the same journey…to live a Christ like life before the world so that others will be inspired to move forward in their destiny. I want to be an inspiration not only to my family but to my friends and to those who do not know me but are still my neighbors. May God bless and give me favor so that I can reach out beyond my territory and be a blessing.
Napoleon Hill
There is one quality that one must possess to win and that is definiteness of purpose, the knowledge of what one wants, and a burning desire to possess it.
I begin this blog as the month of January comes to a near close. I have not spent as much time with the business as I should have but let me tell you what “ShapeWay “has done for me. I have lost 27 pounds and 3” during my 90 day challenge. I continue to take the Proformance regularly every morning with my ShapeWay Shake. I follow this up with a super charged liter of water with Green Zilla. Another Shake at lunch and a moderate meal for dinner…this is followed by a ‘large’ shot of Premium Focus for bedtime. I feel great and know that my health is exceptional. Considering where I have come from this is awesome. I have survived 3 years post my original diagnosis of Metastatic Bone Cancer with breast cancer as the primary source. I continue to work fulltime at the hospital as a nurse in a Transitional Care Unit. I am on my feet 8-12 hours daily…then off to the gym for a complete work out 2-3 times weekly.
Although the fog has been heavy over these past few months in my life greater is He that is in me than He that is in the world. I walk by faith and not by sight. Even though I do not see the things that I want to see now, I see them by faith. I see family reconciliation. I see love abounding in ALL areas. I see my business prospering productively. God is ABLE to exceedingly above all my expectations cause these things to come to pass. When Moses and the children of Israel came near to the Promised Land, they were only 11 days journey away from it. It took them 40 years of wandering to get to the point of crossing! The question is “what happened?” They allowed many things to stand in their way…from anger, critical attitudes, holding grudges, self pity, jealousy and the list can go on and on. How many times must we go around that mountain before we cross over to the Promised Land? Moses was a tremendous man of God but he was not allowed to pass over the Jordan. God told him that he could only go up to the top of the mount and ‘look at it’ but he could never cross over.
(How interesting! A study for later) Then the Scripture reads:
Joshua 1:2 My servant Moses is dead. Get going, cross this Jordan River you and ALL the people.
Pastor Jack brought the Word on Sunday and this was what he said…our “Moses” has to die in order for us to cross over. What is the Moses in your life? I think very carefully and have decided that those obstacles that do not belong to the Father must go from me. Yes it is a struggle but I will walk in faith believing that I can and will overcome. As I said last week, the battle is not mine but the Lord’s I simply must let Him do the fighting. I must BELIEVE.
I cannot change what people think of me, I can only share what God has done for me. My heart is mellow even when it is broken. The Spirit tells me to focus on what I have and not what I have lost. God will restore as He restored for David in Ziglag. You have to learn to encourage yourself. You will not always find encouragement in your circumstances. It is not easy to look on the ashes of your life and imagine anything good coming out of it. Fiery trials and difficult tests are not conducive to encouragement. Most of the things in this world are specifically designed to DIScourage you.
When David had encouraged himself in the Lord, and asked God what to do next, the Lord said, “Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all” (I Samuel 30:8b).
One of the greatest revelations of King David was his understanding of God’s mercy and love for him…even when he stumbled. I know that my God loves me and I refuse to allow condemnation to flood my life. I will walk in victory and rise above the circumstances of my life. God has blessed me soooo much over my short span of living and I praise Him for this. ‘Thank you God for being there every time that I fall and by your Grace I will stand again.’
Don’t ever give up! Ziklag is not your final resting place; it is only the test of kings. Encourage yourself in the Lord, pursue, recover, and move forward. This is your destiny, and this is the word of the Lord to you.
I realize that sometimes I wander randomly but I remain an AngelOnAMission to reach people for Christ. This business Exfuze is dedicated to this mission. It is a God-given product that will go with or without me, but I choose to carry the torch as far as I can. I am but a messenger. Some people will listen and some will turn a deaf ear but this does not stop me from moving forward. I grieve when people are sick and weakened from poor nutrition. I know that this product will help but some of the people will not hear. They accept the report of the enemy that says, this is just the way it is gonna be. This is a lie and we should not accept it. YOU can turn things around. YOU can change things. YOU can get healthy and make a difference. It is a choice that YOU must make.
Is your life worth the effort that it takes? Is your life worth the cost that it may bring? Money? Time? Sacrifice? What is more valuable than your health? Lots of people complain, “I am overweight! My cholesterol is high? My blood sugar is too high! My blood pressure is high! I have no energy most of the time! My hands hurt! My arthritis aches today! I do not sleep well at night!” If you have ever made such a statement as these you need to call me and let’s talk. I have an answer that will make a difference if you are willing to give it a try. Let me hear from you soon. Don’t wait till the midnight hour when you are down and out and at the ‘end stage of life’ before you choose to make a difference.
LET ME MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN YOUR LIFE. LET ME HELP.
LET ME SHOW YOU A BETTER WAY!
When I walk through Wal-Mart or through the Mall and watch the crowds…I grieve because most of us are overweight and are burdened with some health issue. I have been there; but I have chosen to change my life. Call me and let me share with you. Whether I make money or just share the blessing; my goal is to get the message out. Let me do this.
“I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do.”
We share the commitment and dedication of bringing you the finest synergistic nutritional supplements nature has to offer that will ensure your optimal health both today, and well into the future.
Explorers and visionaries have always suspected that in exotic locales, at the furthest reaches of the planet, lie the secrets to vibrant health.
As I begin this blog I feel the pressures surrounding me and the walls falling…because I know where God has brought me from I stop and look up and begin to pray because I know that God will make a way even when I cannot see beyond my tears.
The peace of God is the deep calm that envelops the thought processes of the Almighty.
He is never anxious, always in command, never without a remedy. He sees the end from
the beginning and views the needs of man from the position of unlimited resources and
capabilities. He perceives the needs of His children with both compassion and confidence,
for all things are possible for Him.
I just returned from Jacksonville, FL where my friend and I supported another family member in a move from a stressful situation. I find that no matter where you go there is drama and old slew foot is working overtime in stirring up trouble. We (I included) give him too much room to do this. At some point we must let love overcome and trust God. This is very easy for me to say but not as easy to walk and I am fully aware of this. I will continue to proclaim this even when I do not feel like it. With the hurt and the pain that we experience it is difficult to move forward. I love my family, my children and my grandchildren…ALL of them…even when they think different.
I love my daughter so much and cannot seem to covey this to her. This is for Jenny:
My prayer is that as the year 2012 progresses more of us will see the importance of one another. We must bond together more than we ever have as time approaches. Lord let me be a light…let me be the angel on a mission that will bring a message of hope to those who will listen. In my plight to share what God has done for me I have missed the boat in my own family. Father God, restore to me what has been taken…as David fought to recover his family whom the enemy had taken…let me fight to recover mine. I am nothing in this world without YOU and without the FAMILY that you have given to me.
We are in a test!
“When you go through difficult times, make sure you pass the test. Don’t be stubborn and hardheaded. Recognize that God is refining you, knocking off some of your rough edges. Stand strong and fight the good fight of faith. God has called each of us to be champions; you are destined to win. If you will work with God and keep a good attitude, then no matter what comes against you, the bible says that all things – not just the good things in life, but all things – work together for your good.”
― Joel Osteen
This blog will be short because it is late as well.
I want to invite all of you to join me in the Bible Reading for the year 2012. This week’s reading is:
Week January 15th Genesis 35-48; Psalm 18-24; Matthew 26-28; Mark 1-4
What I do know is that God’s Word does not return void. As you enter the Word into your heart you will grow in knowledge and understanding of His love. Love overcomes a multitude of sins and I have many.
The New Year has begun and here we are in the future! Have you made a declaration of what you intended to do with it? Well, you know that I have. Pastor Steve was on fire this past week with the presentation of 12 strategies for the year 2012. These are dynamic and well appropriate for my business as well as personal life. Let me SHARE them with you:
Job 22:28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways. (You’ll decide what you want and it will happen)
This is a choice that each of us make.
Take ACTION and not be just a thinker. Repeated actions become habits. Doing nothing is an action and is a choice that will get you NOWHERE. Doing something is a choice and will elevate your thinking and get you to success. Choosing to do something repeatedly for 30 days will become a habit. Implement creative strategies and ideas in your life that will become productive habits and a successful lifestyle.
DELIBERATE ACTIONS become MOTIVATION to change your life becoming a changed lifestyle.
I WILL DO TODAY WHAT OTHERS WON’T, SO THAT I WILL HAVE TOMORROW WHAT OTHERS DON’T
CHANGE YOUR HABITS AND YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE…TODAY Paul Morris 1-2-12
The Conference is going on in Dallas today and tomorrow. Lets us all pray that all goes well with those who are sponsoring it. I wish I were there in person but my heart is there. Go EXFUZE 2012!!!
I know that this is going to be my year and I have made an active choice to elevate my thinking and begin to make better choices. I will create strategies and ideas and implement them as the Spirit of God reveals them to me. I will practice the Law of Recognition and trust the Kingdom for results. I will recognize the divine connections and expect SUPERNATURAL every day. I will practice taking no offence. I will be more diligent in my everyday life to make the WORD and PRAYER a priority and I will listen to hear the VOICE of GOD.
THIS is my declaration for the NEW YEAR…what is yours? The choices we make determine our future. What choices have you made? What choices will you make?
I continue to be an Angel On a Mission…to share not only my business with Exfuze but the values that I learn in my journey. Till next time. Evelyn
The year 2011 has come and almost gone. I am behind on this blog as usual. These activities and work schedule during the holidays have been absorbing most of my time. To sit and really THINK is difficult for me right now. None the less here I am. I am not even sure if anyone reads this blog but I do it anyway. My granddaughter Jessica gratefully works for me and posts it for me after she edits it. That is awesome and I appreciate her for doing this for me. This is going to be a year of tremendous change in my life and most others. I grant you that this is the year 2012 for AWESOME change. Be ready! The roller coaster is beginning to roll.
Lenn and Cathy Mink were at TWOC on Christmas day to ‘set off’ the beginning of this change. There ministry includes worship leadership with Kenneth Copeland. They are anointed ministers of the Gospel whom the Holy Spirit sent to Louisville, KY (TWOC) to begin this process for 2012. Don’t miss it.
I want to bring together what God has done for me during this past year. I believe that 2011 was the beginning for me. The prophetic Word has been brought on several occasions saying that I would be financially stable and in a position to help other folks. This is truly my goal in life. I do not have the grandeur ideology that I will become rich and live in a fine big home and drive a fancy car…not that these things are bad but this is not my goal. I remain focused on being able to supply the needs of the needy when they are brought before me. Have I achieved this goal? In the natural, I have a ways to go but in the spiritual aspect it is DONE. My heart has spoken to me and said that if I do what is within my reach the God will do the rest. This is what I am trying to do. Giving is the greatest gift that someone can do. First give love and friendship and with this will come the works to help those in need. My business with Exfuze is on a solid foundation. I am not where I want to be but have built a steady group of entrepreneurs who will work with me in the process. I thank God for this opportunity to go forward.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart! ~Evelyn
Most times I do not feel like an Angel on a Mission although this is my ministry. This year has brought my second son into my home with his family. Now this is good in many ways but stressful in many ways. Placing children and extra adults into a small home is stressful even with the best of circumstances. Then I have my other granddaughter still living with me. I honestly have enjoyed having someone here through the holidays, because a Christmas without children is dull to say the least. Allison (my daughter in law) who does not live with me asked the question, “What have you learned with so many people in the house?” A great question! Much of what we think we value is of little significance. Love will overcome a multitude of sins. I have found that I do get angry over some things that are done in a different way than I would have done it… (Be ye angry and sin not)…I speak sometimes and many times just walk away. I have to think-what would Jesus have done? Although I love my family, I look forward to my space again. My sons family will soon find their own home to go to and my granddaughter…well she must sprout her wings and learn to fly.
God has also brought my eldest son through brain surgery and completed healed him in more ways than one. Thank you God for bringing him through as you promised for my family.
My only daughter has become a ‘working outside the home’ mom as well as raising the 8 children living inside the home. God bless her abundantly as she struggles to take one day at a time. I have been there and know what she is going through (believe it or not). My children do not understand that there are no new struggles on this earth…it just become personal and feels different. Jessica and Sarah are working full time hours at Steak and Shake so frequent those places if you can. I love you Jenny and ALL the family. I bestow blessings for the year 2012 upon all of you.

Quote of the Week
“‘I have the right to do anything,’
but not everything is beneficial.
‘I have the right to do anything’—
but I will not be mastered by anything.
‘Food for the stomach and
the stomach for food, and
God will destroy them both.'" ~ I Corinthians 6:12-13
“Don’t you realize that your body is
the temple of the Holy Spirit,
who lives in you and was given
to you by God? You do not belong
to yourself, for God bought you with
a high price. So you must
honor God with your body.” ~ I Corinthians 6:19-20
