UNLOCKING THE EXTRAORDINARY IN YOU

This ministry is dedicated to helping you find the life you were born to live. It is our desire to unlock the extraordinary life God designed for you. The Apostle Paul depicts this in Ephesians 3:8-10:

“And here I am preaching and writing about things that are way over my head (if they are over Paul’s head, I’m quite certain it’s over mine) the inexhaustible riches (God’s kingdom provisions cannot be exhausted – He has an inexhaustible supply) and generosity of Christ (it’s His desire to provide his inexhaustible supply to you). My task is to bring out into the open and make plain (He doesn’t want it hidden from you) what God has been doing all along through followers of Jesus like yourselves gathered in churches, this extraordinary plan of God is becoming known and talked about even among the angels. (Eph. 3:8-10, MSG: emphasis added)

God’s plan for you is to live an extraordinary life. This term “extraordinary” means to surpass the norm, to break away from status quo, beyond usual, exceeding common measure, remarkable, amazing, unimaginable, beyond limits (Webster’s New World Dictionary, p. 516). One writer suggests it means “too much”. God’s will for you is for your life to be remarkable, amazing, unimaginable, beyond compare, too much.

It is not a life that’s stuck at the same place year after year, but one that explodes past current limitations.

The question then becomes how does this take place FOR YOU? It is certainly God’s will and yet countless believers find themselves coming up short of their success. Henry Ford said it like this: “Whether you think you can or you can’t, either way you’re right.”

Are you getting what you want or settling for what you get? If you’re finding yourself at the same place year after year in your finances, marriage and family, health, career, ministry, etc., then it’s time to discover the blueprint to limitless living!

THE BLUEPRINT TO LIMITLESS LIVING

Until and unless your heart and thinking is set to success (Joshua 1:8), nothing you know or learn, and nothing you do will make any difference! So what is the process to imprint your thinking and your heart to your unlimited potential? Romans 12:2 reveals the blueprint to break away every boundary in your life: “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you’ll be able to prove what is the good, acceptable, and perfect will of God.”

 This scripture passage unfolds four incredible principles to unlock your potential.

1. BE NOT CONFORMED to this world or this world’s system.

Why is Paul adamant about this? Because all you can ever produce is in accordance to what system we currently operate in. God put some universal principles in the world that can breed desires of success. However, you can’t access the kingdom of God from the world’s system if you don’t have what the Bible calls “good success” (Joshua 1:8). The supernatural provision of God is outside the world’s system.

2. TRANSFORMED

This term comes from the Greek word “metamorph”. It’s where we get our English word “metamorphosis”. So typically when you think of this word, you think of a caterpillar becoming a butterfly. A caterpillar doesn’t look like much, but it is “transformed” into something of incredible beauty. In fact, it demonstrates with the idea in Greek of complete transformation.

Conforming and transforming are not at all the same change. Conforming (changing) is something you do to your life. It is behavioral modification. It works sometimes, but mostly it falls back into old patterns.

Transforming is something God does to us. When our thinking gets into our heart (heart beliefs), it creates a permanent transformation that solicits the manifestations of the Kingdom of God. Conforming (change) comes from the outside in. Transformation comes from the inside out. The former is most times temporary and the latter long term. Thoughts always produce actions. Dominant thoughts (heart beliefs) control your destiny.

3. RENEWING YOUR MIND

The term “renew” is a fascinating word. It means to restore to its original state, to renovate, or to make new again. To renovate means you take old things out and put new things in. Prov. 23:7 states, “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” The term “think” means doorkeeper or gatekeeper in Hebrew (Strong’s #8178). In other words, dominant thoughts get into your heart and what gets in your heart is what you’re going to do. Prov. 4 amplifies this: “Above all else, guard your heart for out of it comes the issues of life.” The term “issues” means boundaries (Strong’s #8444) or outcomes. The boundaries of your life are determined by what you establish as beliefs in your heart.

4. PROVE the good, acceptable, perfect will of God.

The word “prove” is another interesting term. It means to validate, reestablish as genuine, approve, discern, recognize, or manifest (Strong’s #1381). Once you are not conformed to this world’s system, but are transformed by the renewing of your mind, you will recognize people, ideas, and resources you’ve missed up until this time.  

You’re only one belief or idea away from breakthrough in your life. Once your breakthrough becomes a breakout, you will become unstoppable.
