Attitudes/Answers with Olen Baker

God can open our mind to the truth, and that gives us the courage to change.  Think about the last time you paid the price for what you "thought" was a good choice but it turned out to be a false assumption. Podcast production from Radio Lounge - ask us about creating a voice over demo !

It's not at all unusual to fantasize about life from our perspective.  But those fantasies can and will lead us down a path of pain and regret.  So, how is your journey going so far?

When we believe we have the power over issues that come in our path, we quickly find that those issues are not as easy to manage as we think.  So, we try to rationalize our way around them.  That's not possible, without a little assist from God.

Have you ever been overwhelmed by fear and anxiety?  You're not alone.  Self-deception is easily overcome by your faith in God's promise to lend a hand when uncertainties abound.  That's good news, isn't it?

Stiff necked and bent toward evil.  Sure would hate to be that person.  So how about it, how do you look at transformation?  If it's through the eyes of God, it's an easier option.  

Kindness, compassion, forgiveness, direction, and the boundaries that give each of us the best course for living a life that is directly connected to God's will.  A list of the 10 things you can do today, to prepare for tomorrow.  

We all need a pat on the back when we are faced with uncertainty about our direction.  Good news is, God can give you that pat, through words of encouragement.  Get connected and keep the conversation going, so you can too.

Frankly, sometimes we question God's intent for us.  We're no different than Moses.  Just reach out to God when you see a dead end, and you'll find that believing in his word will give you clear direction and confidence.

It's true, we all fall short of a new beginning.  The good news is, God is right beside you to give you a new start, a new attitude, and a new plan of action.  Question is, are you listening?

Here's a simple fact.  As difficult as it is to forgive, it's the only way to achieve peace and receive God's promise.  Let go of your anger, and look to God to help you achieve this.

You can't carry the worship of false idols and expect good things to happen in your future.  But it's not always easy to completely understand why that has to happen.  God gives direction and will help you move beyond the past.

Bad judgement always leads to sin.  And we are all guilty of making bad decisions.  Good news is, God is right there to give you forgiveness.  Just ask.

We are all faced with decisions, and every time we find ourselves wondering "what if", what if I go down that path, what if I miss a golden opportunity, what if I regret my decision.  Erase the what if's with a conversation with GOD.  HE has all the answers.

We all make mistakes, yeah, every one of us.  But with each misjudgment comes hope for a new beginning.  GOD gives us the courage to face our mistakes and HE provides us with opportunities for wiser choices.

Experience is a guide to future decisions.  Some of us don't focus on prior experience to change our behaviors, and as a result, we experience the same unfortunate outcomes.  Good thing GOD understands how we can change that scenario.

Dedicating your body, mind and soul to Christ Jesus takes true faith in HIS word.  You can't do it without true and complete dedication.  Have you prepared for that journey?

New beginnings come with a little extra.  They're called unexpected challenges, and that can be a game changer.  Good news is, GOD is right there to give an assist.  

Face it, we don't like it when someone else has an opinion of what we should be doing.  That's because we can't see our situation clearly.  That's the cool part about our relationship with GOD.  HE does see what needs to be changed.  Question is, will we listen?

Wow, changing what we know and are comfortable with for something that GOD has in mind isn't always an easy transition.  Being open to HIS word is an essential part of your journey.  Are you okay with that?

GOD follows through with each and every one of us, with good appropriate solutions.  Tune HIM in when you need some great advice.  

Building a dream job, building a dream home, building a dream relationship, all come with the unexpected bumps and bruises.  How do you find solutions?

Sure, we're sometimes afraid to move forward, and that's okay.  Just take a moment to center yourself on GOD and let HIS wisdom and guidance pull you to a better place.

Every journey has a few bumps along the way.  Good thing, GOD will never abandon us, even when the tough times cross our path.

Complacency is not good.  It gets us nowhere.  Being too optimistic can also be a scary place to go.  Fantasies can come crashing down.  If you keep your eyes fixed on GOD, you will find the balance you need to move ahead.

GOD has a plan for every second of our lives.  Following HIS direction brings us to a place of security and peace that endures forever.
