Remain Flexible
“Your ears will hear sweet words behind you: “Go this way. There is your path; this is how you should go” whenever you must decide whether to turn to the right or the left” Isa.30:21 [VOICE]
God has and will continue to give you victory in this battle field of life. You are the general of your life and you need to take responsibility for it. That is why we will continue to learn and operate these principles of war. You being the general of your life does not contradict the Lordship of Jesus in any way. In fact, God is excited when we take our place. He says “…whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven” Matt.18:18. It starts on earth.

Force Multiplier
“And if a house is divided (split into factions and rebelling) against itself, that house will not be able to last” Mark 3:25 [AMP]
Mass has two components: Concentration and Unity. And because of these two components, the Principle of Mass is a force multiplier that enables smaller forces to conquer a much larger enemy. “And David said with longing, “Oh, that someone would give me a drink of the water from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!” So the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines, drew water from the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate, and took it and brought it to David…” 2Sam.23: 15-16 [NKJV, emphasis added].

Focus
“The Twelve called a meeting of all the believers. They said, “We apostles should spend our time teaching the word of God, not running a food program …select seven men who are …full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will give them this responsibility” Acts 6:2-3
Concentrate your powers! Even the apostles realized that they could not serve food, take care of the widows, and visit the prisons. So they chose to focus on the ministry of the Word and to prayer. What is that one thing? Concentration simply means the power of focusing all one’s attention. When you focus, inevitably you create blindness and that is okay. But a lot of people do not want any blindness. However, the truth remains that you cannot be effective if you Read the rest of this entry
Twenty – Eighty!
David remarked longingly to his men, “Oh, how I would love some of that good water from the well by the gate in Bethlehem.” So the Three broke through the Philistine lines, drew some water… and brought it back to David…” 1 Chro.11:17-18
The Pareto Principle states that twenty percent of what you are doing is responsible for eighty percent of the results you are getting. Only twenty percent of what you are doing right now is producing eighty percent or more of the result you are getting. Regardless of how wealthy you are, it is only twenty percent of what you are doing that is generating the wealth. Even in church, it is only twenty percent of the people in attendance that make things happen. Read the rest of this entry
“One Thing”
“The one thing I ask of the Lord— the thing I seek most— is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, delighting in the Lord’s perfections and meditating in his Temple” Ps.27:4
The Principle of Mass is effective on the offense and the defense. A classic example in warfare is the citadel strategy. In the days when cities and countries used to be physically walled, the strategy was to wall the outer perimeter of the city and go further into the city creating three or four concentric circles [walls]. This is so that if the enemy breaks through the first one, the Read the rest of this entry
Be Brutal
“But Jesus told him, “Anyone who puts a hand to the plow and then looks back is not fit for the Kingdom of God” Lu.9:62
The opposite of concentration is distraction. What are the things that are distracting you and distracting your forces? Get rid of them. Why? Because if you do not actively get rid of them, they will spread you too thin, you are going to dissipate energy and you will be totally ineffective. There are many things that you could be doing, but there are also things that only Read the rest of this entry
Concentrated Mass
“And David said… “Oh, that someone would give me a drink of the water from the well of Bethlehem… So the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines, drew water from the well… and took it and brought it to David…” 2 Sam.23:15-16.
Every facet of life is a battle and you are the general of your life. God wants you to take responsibility for your life. Remember David and Goliath? David took responsibility for the nation [God’s people]. God is waiting on you to take responsibility for your career and for your marriage. If you do not love your spouse who would love him or her for you? Take Read the rest of this entry
Heaven-Programmed
“Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do” Josh.1:8
“Fear often disguises itself behind the mask of care. Fearful people often excuse their fear as caution” – Andy Stanley. You know you are afraid but you keep telling yourself and others that you are taking calculated risks. How long do you think you can disguise this fear as taking calculated risks? Yesterday we talked about the corridor principle and the research that was Read the rest of this entry
Fearless
“Then the Lord turned… said, “Go with the strength you have, and rescue Israel… I am sending you!” “But Lord,” Gideon replied, “how can I rescue Israel? My clan is the weakest in the whole tribe of Manasseh, and I am the least in my entire family!” Judg.6:14-15
The hero is just the coward that held on five minutes longer. Courage is a habit and you can develop it. The only person who has never fallen is the person who has never walked. Do not be afraid of falling. The question usually on a lot of people’s minds is what if I try and it does not work? Big deal! Get up again. Fear is based on exaggeration while faith is based on inspiration [God’s Word that has exploded in your mind]. You need to be courageous. Read the rest of this entry
Personal Development
“The Lord who rescued me from the claws of the lion and the bear will rescue me from this Philistine!” Saul finally consented. “All right, go ahead,” he said. “And may the Lord be with you!” 1 Sam.17:37
Courage can be developed. But how do you develop courage? Simple. You develop courage by acting courageous. You may be afraid but you shake it off and act as if you are courageous. That is how you develop courage. I am telling you for a fact – everyone that appears courageous knows fear. The more you act courageous, the more courageous you become. Ralph Waldo Emerson says, “Make a habit throughout your life of doing the things you fear; if you do the things you fear, the death of fear is certain”. You are a young man who is afraid to talk to women. Just do it Read the rest of this entry
