You're A Champion - Outline

on on . .

Here is the teaching outline for SUNDAY NITE LIVE.  Join us at 6 PM EST.

First, you must be committed to rising above average.

Revelation 3:16 NLT

“But since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth!”

Luke 12:15-16

“And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.”

C.S. Lewis, the noted theologian and amazing author once said:

“If you are continually stirred and fail to act, the time will come when you will be unable to act.”

2.         Have the heart of a champion.

Chuck Norris, the karate champion and movie star said:

“People come up to me and say, 'Chuck, you're the luckiest guy in the world to be a world karate champion and a movie and TV star.' When they say this to me, I kind of smile because luck had nothing to do with it; God had everything to do with it.”

Sugar Ray Robinson said:

"To be a champion you have to believe in yourself when no one else will."

3.         Confront your fears

Ralph Waldo Emerson said:

“Do the thing you fear and the death of fear is certain.”

Seven fears that prevent potential champions from fulfilling their destiny.

1.         Fear of failure.

2.         Fear of being rejected.

3.         Fear of speaking in public.

4.         Fear of the unknown.  Things that go bump in the night or what’s happening or what they say is happening in world events.

5.         Fear of moving out of your comfort zone with a new job or a new business.

6.         Fear of the worst case scenario.

7.         Fear of the known.

Psalm 27:1

“THE LORD is my Light and my Salvation--whom shall I fear or dread? The Lord is the Refuge and Stronghold of my life--of whom shall I be afraid?”

Isaiah 41:9-10 MSG

“Don't panic. I'm with you.  There's no need to fear for I'm your God.  I'll give you strength. I'll help you. I'll hold you steady, keep a firm grip on you."

Ephesians 3:12 AMP

“In Whom, because of our faith in Him, we dare to have the boldness (courage and confidence) of free access (an unreserved approach to God with freedom and without fear).”

Fear is the devil’s anointing and it has no place in the life of <<Your Name>>.

Acts 10:38 AMP

“Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you].”
