This morning, I felt the Lord directing me to encourage you in your struggles. It was like He said to tell you that you may be down, but take heart . . . encourage yourself in His Word.

Are you feeling down or out? Well… get ready cause You’re Coming Up.

My fine wife, Bev, and I understand being down. We’ve been there several times. Working together like we do, we’ve both lost our jobs at the same time . . . more than once! We could have been down for the count . . . BUT God.

That’s right, no matter how far you’ve been down or what evil has come against you . . .God is well able to bring you up and out.

Proverbs 24: 15,16 in the Message Bible warns anyone who comes against His own:

“Don't interfere with good people's lives; don't try to get the best of them. No matter how many times you trip them up, God-loyal people don't stay down long; Soon they're up on their feet, while the wicked end up flat on their faces.”

When it seems there is no hope. . .He is your hope.

Fortunately, that’s all you need.

Psalm 31:24 in the King James Version says:

“Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.”

Here are the A to Z’s on how to turn failure straight into success.

A-Admit it when you mess up.  The best way to overcome failure is to face it, learn from it and move on.

B-Boldy refuse to accept failure as final regardless of how badly you may have messed up. 

C-Concentrate on what you want to accomplish.

Nothing just happens automatically.

No vision. . .no matter how divinely inspired is self-fulfilling.

No calling. . .no matter how needed is ever fulfilled on its own.

No goal. . .no matter how excellent is ever accomplished without effort.

Every purpose birthed in the heart of man will require specific steps of faith and action.

It’s one thing to talk about being successful or even becoming a millionaire but it is entirely another thing to take the steps necessary to achieve the position God envisions for you in His Word and in the world.

To improve your position in life. . .to increase your possibilities for success. . .you must rely upon the Word of God and demonstrate a willingness to implement certain Biblical strategies.

Proverbs 24:3-4 in The Living Bible says:

10. The best way to get high blood pressure is to spend our time worrying about things we can do nothing about. Pray instead.

9. Think of one thing you can do TODAY to improve the quality of your life TOMORROW…then do it.

8. Not seeing ourselves the way God sees us. . .always leads to trouble.

7. If we want to change where we are in life…we must believe God will do what He says He will do…regardless of our circumstances.

6. When you can get as excited about other people’s blessings as your own, WATCH OUT…the blessings of the Lord are about to overtake you.

Here are the Top 5 Rich Thoughts Nuggets of the week.

5. Ignorance, not Satan, will destroy you…so get wisdom. “My people are destroyed (bound) for a lack of knowledge.” (Hosea 4:6)

4. A successful man/woman is an ordinary person who steps outside their comfort zone to take a risk.

3. If you think nobody is thinking about you right now…you’re wrong. “. . .the Lord is thinking about me right now.” Ps 40:17 TLB

2. Before you go to sleep…ask God to help you turn your dreams into reality…starting tomorrow…with divine connections.

1. If your friends are comfortable in their comfort zone…they’re not going to want you to move out of yours.

Have you ever had someone say. . . “I’ve been thinking about you.”

While we assume those thoughts are good. . .we have no idea what they’re thinking or how long they even thought about us.

There is a pick-up line that single men sometimes use on single women. It goes like this.

“Girl, I’m so tired. . .because you’ve been running through my mind all day.”

By the way ladies, if a man ever uses that line on you. . .be flattered but quickly ask him. . .if he has a job. . .does he have a five-year plan for the future. . .if he doesn’t answer “yes” to both those questions. . .leave him in the rearview mirror of your life.

On a spiritual level. . .God does bring people to our minds. . .people he wants us to pray for.

In this teaching, I want to talk about someone who thinks about you 24/7.
