Here is July's message with some action steps for the month. 

I view every month like an opportunity for a fresh start. 

Here is a short summary of what we go through in the video...

• What went well over the last month and what were ways you saw God showing up?
• What did you learn over the last month?
• Examining the fruit from our lives in all of the different areas...
• Pick the one area that you feel led to work on this month and install a filter and table turner for that area.

Here are the different filters to choose from...

• Abundant Life - God is doing continually good for me and I am doing continually good for others. 
• Soul - I am growing in positive emotions and using negative emotions as feedback
• Health - My body is God’s temple.
• Finances - I am seeking God’s kingdom first by valuing relationships over money and being a good steward.
• Family - I am bringing out the best in my family.
• Order -I am maintaining everything in position including myself in the light. 
• Time - I am focusing on God’s plan and producing things that last.
• Purpose - I am seeking God’s unique plan for my life.
• Community - I am aligned with God’s kingdom, self-managed, doing my special work, and contributing to others. 

Once a filter is chosen, write it at the top of your journal every day. This helps filter the decisions we make every day. 

After choosing a filter, pick the corresponding table turner to practice each day. Here are the table turners...

• Abundant Life - Daily Communion
• Soul - The Imagination - master the images that are playing on the inside.
• Health - Daily Communion Workout + Have a Song in your heart all throughout the day
• Finances - Partnership - Make God your financial partner and make all financial decisions with God and with spouse/any business partners. 
• Family - Cherishing - Step into their shoes and develop understanding to keep them from pain and give them the desires of their heart. 
• Order -Honoring authority - It is hard to create order when people are rebellious. Focus on honoring the people around you more. 
• Time - Rest in your soul - We are all more productive while at rest on the inside. Being rushed, hurried, frantic, and out of control steals time. 
• Purpose - Scribing + Skill development - Scribe and read out loud from the Bible, journal from the heart, and develop new skills. 
• Community - Connection - Find ways to connect more with the people around you. Sharing meals together is one of the best ways.

Confidence Through Praise

Last month we talked a lot about the power of praising God for who he is and all that he's done. Lately I have put a new focus on praising him every day and something I have noticed is that the more we praise him, the more our confidence in him grows. Confidence in him is a big deal, because faith is confidence or assurance in the things we hope for.

Here is an exercise for this month...

If you have something, you have been praying and believing God for but haven't seen a breakthrough yet then pray and ask God for what you want. Believe you receive the answer the moment you pray, and then don't pray about it again. Instead, every time you think about that area start praising him for answering your prayer, even if you haven't seen the answer yet. If thoughts of stress, doubt, worry, fear, hopelessness come in that area cast them down immediately and use those thoughts as a reminder to praise him again for that area. Keep filling up the basket of praise in this area until you get to a place of confidence, because when we get to the place of confidence things change.  

My filter for this month is going to be... Confidence Through Praise

I am praying for you.
