Jesus expects us to have vision that is different from the majority – extraordinary vision. He trains and develops us to see with the eyes of our heart. And this really opens the door to the realm of what’s possible.

He wants us to be “realists” … it’s just that we discover He calls us to focus on a superior reality, journeying toward our destiny.
Life, as it turns out, has no small number of situations that are more than willing to to appear “real” and get in the way of what our future really can be. Have you noticed that?

We’re discovering that we can reach back to the experience and achievement of Abraham for precedent in our own lives. This is no small thing. But before we seek to tap the Kingdom dynamics of venturing in faith, let’s briefly explore Abraham’s backstory … we will probably recognize similar themes in our own personal story (see takeaways at the end).
The Creator reached down into time and geography and called Abraham in a special way.
Voice is one of the most important elements in successful writing. If readers do not pick up our unique writing voice through the words we write, they will tune us out and we’ll lose them.
We may have a meaningful story to relay. We may have leading-edge content which will really help people. But if we cannot capture and sustain the reader’s attention, they will not benefit from the story or the content.
But if readers lock in to your signature voice, it’s a different story. Your readers can actually “hear” your unique signature voice through your words – whether they are on paper or on a screen.
Can your thought affect things? What about your speech? Where did everything come from and what keeps it going?
Don’t run away when you see the word “physics” (!)
The field of physics is harmonizing more and more with Christian belief as scientific knowledge increases. Stay with me here, because if this is true, it can change your worldview and how you live.
What if there was a simple and motivating way to experience extreme fat loss? There may be.
Tim Ferris calls his approach a “slow-carb diet” (not a “low-carb diet” which lowers energy levels causing most people to quit).
One of his 4 simple rules for extreme fat loss – and I think the most fascinating thing about this approach – is taking one day off per week and going wild, eating what you think you shouldn’t. And doing it to excess!
What this does, paradoxically, is spike the caloric intake once per week so that the metabolic rate (thyroid function, etc.) does not “downregulate” from restricting caloric intake constantly. This actually helps the body to lose fat. Interesting.
