We serve a God of No Limits.

Are you blazing new trails or are you following the road of mediocrity? To blaze a new trail is to dare to thrive and be alive with adventure, passion and purpose. To dare to step out into the unknown and explore new territory requires a stoic faith, determination and belief that stirs up from somewhere down deep.

But what if the cost is too high?

That, is part of the thrill and risk, because what if the cost isn’t too high? What if you dare to believe and step out…go…do…achieve and you find yourself successful? What if your success launches an avalanche of success for others as well? It were as though your destiny were crying out to others, go this way, too, and you will be even more successful than I!

Once a new path is paved, then it is made for others to journey on as well, only a little easier and little faster will they progress. With this the volume of those who begin to believe to dare to try increases.

What began with your tiny seed of belief grows from ONE to many. What began with your small inclination of Hope grows from ONE to DUPLICATION. What began with a Spark of Enthusiasm and Positive Belief grows from ONE to build MOMENTUM for yourself and those who choose to put their belief in you and walk as you have walked, tread as you have tread, done as you have done. And so, it has begun…all out massive action breads success for a collective multitude of those who decided to do so much more than just look on…but decided to blaze a new trail where no one else has ever gone. Because you had others who decided to join along, you become unified in heart, mind and spirit. You walk, think, breath a unified message of Hope, Health, Healing, Prosperity, Purpose-giving the hopeless, the unhealthy, the poor in pocket and the poor in spirit a reason to believe again. Together, you find a place of SUSTAINED MOMENTUM. You are in the zone and nothing is going to stop you now.

You see my friend, it is like this, it only takes a spark to kindle a fire. If the fire, like in a fire pit, is a blaze of burning coal and there are many coals all huddled in tight, then the light and heat of the blaze can truly ignite and increase. However, if a piece of coal or wood rolls away or is separated from the collective fire, their fire begins to fizzle and heat is lost. Unity is strongest when we are a collective front, all burning together as ONE flame, to create a fire so hot it sets everything around ablaze.

God is an All Consuming Fire.

God created us to be loved, to receive His love, then to spill it all around like a blazing fire that can warm even the hardest hearts or most broken of souls. It possesses the power to heal the dying, mend the wounded, restore streets that have formerly had no dwellings. Only God…with Him alone is such a unity possible. Only with Him do we receive the courage to press on and explore uncharted territory.

I live in a city that was founded by the grandson of one of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence. This glorious morning I sit and write is the 4^th day of July…a celebration day of our Independence as a Nation. Just think, all those years ago there were a group of men and women who banded their hearts in ONE accord and adopted a mindset called “decided”. They decided they wanted more. They had already come so far to explore new territory and create a new world, a new life, creating a dynamic legacy to come. They decided that wasn’t enough…their desire was to inherit their full blessing and experience total and complete liberty. Freedom.

What do you aspire for today? What is it in your heart that burns with the kind of passion that can’t be controlled? Has God perhaps set you on a course of uncharted waters that will require extra courage, faith, hope and a kind of love to equip your heart to get it done? It could be anything, better health, debt freedom, healthy relationships, greater assets, better opportunities for your children than you had for yourself. What is it? Perhaps it drifts through the clutches of your mind right now.

Don’t let it go.

It may only be a spark right now…Don’t be afraid to stoke it. Trust God to contain it as He will guide and direct it, but let it grow.

“When you set yourself on fire, people love to come and see you burn.” ~John Wesley

I hope a morsel of what I have said will encourage your faith, belief, hope and courage to pursue the God given desires laid up inside of you. After all, what is the alternative but to do nothing. With nothing, nothing wrong can happen and disappointment may be avoided (but not guaranteed). In fact, many of the things you fear happening won’t ever happen at all. It’s an effective method of prevention the Enemy of your soul has been using for years. When nothing is multiplied with nothing, all you get is more of the same.

I once had the opportunity to hear an Olympic gold medalist in men’s downhill skiing share his story of risk down a steep mountain (so steep you couldn’t see anything beyond the tip of the ski) to achieve Olympic history and his life long dream. Many men broke legs on that hillside, Olympic dream shattered. Other men did not proceed down the hill at all, they turned about and tapped out, pulling back from all they had dreamed, dared and prepared for. One such man who failed to try recapped his story to the gold medalist and said this (paraphrased), “I wish I’d stuck it out and tried down that hill. The men who broke bones, their bones healed, but regret never heals.”

No regrets. No limits. Live your life Extraordinary as God ordained you to do. With enough reason and purpose, truly nothing can hold you back but you.

“But my righteous one will live by faith, and if he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him.” Hebrews 10:38

This is not easy to do, I know, but the reward is truly limitless. God is ever before you to encourage and inspire you to take just one step more, then again, and again.

You are a pioneer.

The Banner over you is Love.
