Monday Morning Reflections

We continuted our Unstoppable 2010 series yesterday...loved the opportunity to hear from Pastor Ray Johnston from Bayside Church in Rosevill, CA.

Pastor Ray shared an incredible message on unstoppable encouaragement. We need to unleash the power of hope and encouragement in our lives.
Here's some of the highlights I wrote down....

• If we're not encouraged we can't live life at our best.
• When my hope level goes up...everything else goes up with it.
• The problem with discouragement is that we have to bounce back from it.
• Discouragment is a universal disease...we all get it and it's contagious.
• Discouragement always precedes destruction.
• We can build hope by taking time to refresh our spirit.
• The condition of our soul is going to drive whether or not we are discouraged.
• Fear is the darkroom where negatives develop.
• When we get discouraged we have to continue to work and we have to refuse to give up.
• Get back UP...the game isn't OVER!

So thankful that because of Jesus we can have hope. Hope for a future that is better than we have ever dreamed.

I am begging God to increase my HOPE level...
