Is Death By Government on America’s Horizon?

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , — admin @ 10:14 pm

Is Death By Government Coming?

The thought that America is possibly poised to experience death by government struck me this morning like a lightning bolt. Death By Government

The question is, are you ready to simply accept whatever the outcome of the upcoming presidential election?

This whole idea of death by government is a rather dark one for me to be looking at but I must relieve the burden of my soul.

This morning I heard a brief conversation between two men in their twenties. One started with asking who did they think was going to win the election. A couple of
vague statements were made concerning both President Obama and Mitt Romney.

This lasted about two minutes and then the conversation casually changed to what they were eating for breakfast. Their attitude about the lack of importance of which direction our nation would be taking later this year slapped me in the face.

My concern is that there are millions more people like this.

What does all this have to the with the spiritual pulse of families? The direction our government takes has a direct impact on the freedom that families will
have in choosing how to express their calling and place in the community.

This nation was founded on having the freedom to express our beliefs in God free without the government’s restrictions. While the state can never take away
your glorious calling to be an ambassador for Christ and to serve Him and love Him with all your hearts, they can and have limited people’s expression of
that love for our creator.

What Is Death By Government?

Death by government is happening every day in Europe and in China and countless other countries. It is now happening more and more frequently here in the USA.

How would you like to head off to attend Sunday service and find that the church building was just been razed to the ground? All because your pastor just
gave a message on the sinful lifestyle of homosexuality.

I believe death by government really began when the whole twisted notion of separation of church and state began gaining traction. I thoroughly believe that
the Church is meant to operate along side the limited role of the civil government.

Civil government was never meant to be the answer to society’s problems. In fact, the only way civil government can function effectively is if it
operates as an extension of God’s government.

Every day we are seeing more and more the effects of a run-away government. America’s governmental control continues to gain momentum at a frightening
pace under our current administration. It is tough to find one area of life that the government is not trying to regulate.

Why should Christians be concerned? Our calling as a child of God is to love Him, obey Him, to be about His business, and to push back any darkness we encounter.

When we see that darkness showing its face in our government, we cannot afford to sit back passively. A government that not only allows the killing of babies
but promotes it, is in serious darkness.

Death By Government In America

This is the same government that is erasing all mention of Christianity, yet promoting other faiths. This is the same government that purposefully attacks
the foundation of society established by God by trying to redefine marriage and family.

And this is the same government that goes out if its way to silence
the one redeeming hope that America has to get back on track – the church.

If this isn’t death by government, I don’t know what is.

Civil government is not to be our source of provision, our source of health, our source of education , or our source of general welfare. It is only to be
our source of protection and the protector our freedoms.

We are seeing a government in America that is seeking to control every area of our lives from the food that we eat, the schools we attend, the health care we receive, and the money we spend.

When the Godly are in places of authority, the people have reason to rejoice. This is definitely true for people but not the Church. The Church always has reason to rejoice irregardless of what is going on in our civil government.

While we are not citizens of this world, we are its stewards. I’d like to see our country be in better shape, not worse, than it was when I was first born.

Are you willing to watch DEATH BY GOVERNMENT strengthen its grip over America?

If you aren’t, you can do things.

1) Register to vote now or encourage someone you know to register, and

2) Send this post to everyone you know who is tired of government regulating too much.

How Can God Work Recovery and Restoration in Your Life?

Filed under: Men's Destiny Teams — Tags: , , , , — admin @ 11:33 pm

Recovery and Restoration

Recovery and restoration of the things you have lost or the things that have been stolen from you is about to happen. After learning about these 3 keys, you will be able to recover all. Recovery and Restoration

I know we are in good company because we have all lost something precious to us. We either lost it or it was stolen from us.

Do you remember how you felt when it happened? Your feelings most likely ranged from anger to sadness to fear. The fear is usually related to the possibility
of losing or being robbed again.

The Recovery and Restoration Boss

We know someone who is in the recovery and restoration business and we would like to introduce Him to you. We are not talking about Dr. Phil or Larry Boy.

God has been in the recovery and restoration business ever since Adam and Eve bit the nasty apple of the knowledge of good and evil. He started working with
certain faithful people to get things started.

He then sent His Son to really get things moving and finally finish the job off.

Until Jesus comes back to close this deal for good, it is up to the Church to activate the grace available for restoration and recovery to happen right now.

What have you lost or what has been stolen from you?

Some of the most painful losses are relationships. Many have lost their sense of wholeness or peace. Many have never realized their true identity and destiny. Most have never achieved their place of provision and abundance that God promises.

We are not bringing this up to make you depressed again over your losses. You need to know that God has always wanted to restore your losses, no matter what
the circumstances were.

The big problem is that almost all Christians have also had their boldness or warrior mentality stolen from them. It is called passivity.

While we are taught to turn the other cheek when dealing with others, we are also called to be ruthless when it comes to the tricks and attacks from our enemy.

We are supposed to be more than over-comers in Christ. All things are supposed to be possible in Christ. Right?

If God is in the recovery and restoration business, why then is most of the Church suffering with such huge losses?

Most of the Church has not taken the steps to position themselves to have their losses recovered and restored. What are these steps that will enable God’s
grace to flow for recovery and restoration?

 3 Recovery and Restoration Steps

1) We need to learn how to bind the strong man. The strong man, the robber, the thief has gained access to your stuff. He needs to be bound by the blood of the Lamb and the word of your testimony through the anointing of the Holy Spirit.

2) We need to make sure that we are standing in righteousness. This doesn’t mean you are sinless but it does mean that you bring all sin under the cleansing
blood of Jesus with a genuine heart of repentance.

3) We need to stand in faith in this process and joyfully expect to see God move to recover all for us just like He did for David.

Your other option is to just keep accepting your losses and live  with it.

Prayerfully commit to these three steps  and expect to see those broken relationships restored.

Expect to see the path form to your God-given identity and destiny. Expect to live the abundant life where there is no lack and you have more than enough. Expect the peace of God to rule over your life and the lives of your loved ones.

What Is the Favor of God Bridge to My Destiny?

Filed under: Men's Destiny Teams — Tags: , , , , , — admin @ 6:28 pm

What Is the Favor of God?

What is the favor of God bridge to your destiny? We will give you a very simple two word answer if you promise to hear us out in this short article. The answer is God’s Word. What IsThe Favor of God?

If your quick response is stop reading, resist that temptation.

The key here in walking the bridge between the favor of God and His Word is how you apply
His word to your life. That makes all the difference in the world. The best part is God’s favor is for anyone.

That is, anyone who is willing to follow two simple steps.

Your destiny is God’s blueprint for your life. It is not made up by yourself or copied from some celebrity TV show. Your real future, your true destiny can only
come from God. And it definitely does not come from the government.

Your future is bright and full of success. Favor from God is available to you in the form of protection, salvation, health, peace, and even wealth. The Lord can take you from the prison cell to prime minister.

Is this a bit much for you to swallow? If it is, your thinking needs to change and your expectations need to change. That’s where God’s Word comes in to play.

What Is The Favor of God – 2 Steps

What is the favor of God bridge to your destiny? Honoring Him and His Son. This is the first step towards being favored by God and watching the doors to your destiny open up.

You honor God by honoring Jesus and giving Him first place in your life. This also means giving God’s Word first place in all that you do.

Jesus is the Word made flesh. You must have this connection to obtain His blueprint for the purpose of your life.

How can you give Him first place? By asking every day and throughout the day what would Jesus do. Seek His will and be determined to follow His way as outlined by the wisdom found in the Bible. Let the Word become a part of you.

What Is The Favor of God Thinking

What is the favor of God bridge to your future? See yourself as God’s partner. We are called to be co-laborers with Him.

What does this do when we see ourselves in this new light? We stop limiting ourselves in our thinking. We stop limiting God working in our lives.

We begin to make room for His abundance and favor that is just waiting to
bless us in all areas of our lives, not just the spiritual area.

God has thousands of ways to bless His children. Those blessings have already been set for us to enjoy for ourselves and for others.

The greatest enjoyment we can ever experience is being a vessel of God’s favor and blessing to others. God said it is more blessed to give than to receive.

What is the favor of God connection to our destiny? We are not talking about positive thinking here.

We are talking about the fact that having favor with God means that His glory is already shining upon His children.

We need to dig into God’s Word and become closely acquainted with His promises and with who He says we are in Christ. That is how we get our minds renewed and restored from all garbage that has been dumped on us over the years.

Don’t make the mistake of short-changing yourself. God has big plans for you. They may not look big in the world eyes but each one of us has a vital role to fulfill on this earth for the kingdom of God.

Honor and love God with all your heart. Let your mind make room for His abundant goodness through the Word. Watch His glory flow from you to realize your true calling in life.

What Is The Kingdom of God Connection To Your Finances?

Filed under: Men's Destiny Teams — Tags: , , — admin @ 5:54 pm

What Is The Kingdom of God

The answer that I will give to what is the kingdom of God connection to your finances can explode your bank account out of the water. You don’t have to
be an accountant or a savvy Wall Street investor for this to happen. What Is The Kingdom of God

All it takes is some Godly faith and willingness to back that faith up with some action.

This connection starts with someone who is willing to seek first the kingdom of God and His way of doing things. That means following His blueprint.

We all have a choice of how to handle our finances. Either do things the way we see the world doing it or the way God says to do it.

These are tough economic times for many people. They are a bit like the times that Isaac, Abraham’s son, was faced with when there was a famine across the land.

When finances are tight, the world tells you to hold onto the little you have with all your strength. God’s way to financial blessing is through sowing and reaping.

Isaac was operating under the blessing of his father Abraham when he obediently sowed where the Lord told him to.

What he sowed was multiplied by one hundred. Not a measly 1.5% like many banks give you for a CD. This all happened in the midst of a famine.

So what does does Mr. Isaac have to do with my financial situation right now? Everything.

What Is The Kingdom of God Connection To Finances?

What is the kingdom of God connection to your finances? The truth of sowing and reaping is that supernatural connection.

What is the world’s way, the way that the vast majority of families are handling their finances? They work for a salary and spend it all every week to cover
their living expenses.

How can I sow when I don’t make enough to cover my expenses? You start by seeking your financial stability first in the kingdom of God through tithing. You
honor God with your finances and He will honor you.

Barna research shows that there has been an obvious decrease in church giving. That should not be so. A Christian’s ability to give and support ministry work should always be increasing!

What is the kingdom of God connection to your money? Your salary is your seed bank to sow from.

As you tithe and sow from your salary, God says you can expect increase. God doesn’t want His children poor.

He wants us to live abundantly in every area of our lives, including our finances. From our harvest, we are able to bless others and sow more into His kingdom work.

What is the kingdom of God connection to your finances? Give and expect to receive from the Lord’s limitless storehouse. That’s giving by faith and we are
called to do all things by faith and love.

How else can God’s people be in a position to lend only, and not have to borrow? (Deut.28:12) Working two jobs and not having anytime for your family or the church is definitely not the answer.

Keys From David and Goliath in the Bible To Unlock Your Victory

Filed under: Men's Destiny Teams — Tags: , , , — admin @ 5:56 pm

David and Goliath in the Bible

I’m sure you’ve read about David and Goliath in the Bible many times. But don’t miss out on getting these special keys to gaining your victory over the giants in your life. David and Goliath in the Bible

Wouldn’t it be great if you had a simple plan, using 4 principles, to put into action to deal with those ugly giants that are getting in your way?

The plan and the keys are located in 1 Samuel 17, which gives the account of the story of David and Goliath.

Keys – David and Goliath in the Bible

Let’s get started with the first key to unlock your victory taken from David and Goliath in the Bible. David has already faced Goliath on the battlefield and the giant has just finished telling him how he will feed his flesh to the birds.

David responds boldly, and many would say quite arrogantly. He tells Goliath that he will be losing his head shortly and that all will know that there is a God in Israel.

The first key is SPEAKING OUT LOUD the results you intend to have as you stand in victory. I am not saying that you can randomly wipe out someone who is
standing in your way. Your motivation needs to be like David’s was.

He stepped up to the battle because Goliath had been mocking the name of the Lord.  David had a Godly motive.

The second key to unlock your victories from the battle seen between David and Goliath in the Bible is BACKING UP YOUR WORDS WITH ACTION.

A lot of people are ready to speak big but aren’t willing to back things up with their actions. David approached his 9 foot adversary with a sling and let loose his forehead breaker.

For forty days, no trained or experienced soldier in King Saul’s army was
willing to step out to face the giant. David did and he relied on the Lord’s instructions and not Saul’s armor.

The third key to unlock your victories taken from David and Goliath in the Bible is ACCEPTING AND RECEIVING YOUR VICTORY BY FAITH.

Not faith in your ability or good looks, but faith in God. Expect to see God move on your behalf.

How can you know God wants you to win?

His desire for us is to be the head and not the tail, to be above only and not beneath, to lend to many nations and not borrow. He is always leading us to triumph, to victory. That’s how you know.

After the giant fell, David took Goliath’s sword and relieved him of his head just like he said it would happen.

Last Key From David and Goliath in the Bible

The last key to your victories found in the epic contest between David and Goliath in the Bible is GIVING A TESTIMONY. Why is this a key when you already have your victory?

By giving a testimony, you are giving the glory to God. You are not bragging on yourself but bragging on God’s greatness and love and favor. By following
this final key, you are setting yourself up for your NEXT VICTORY.

David and Goliath is such a powerful story for us to remember when we are faced with outrageous odds. The next time you have to step into the ring with your giant, put these 4 David vs Goliath keys into play, and walk away with your victory.

Seek First The Kingdom of God and Watch Awesome Things Happen

Filed under: Men's Destiny Teams — Tags: , , , — admin @ 8:33 pm

Seek First The Kingdom of God

One of the most powerful life-changing verses in the Bible is seek first the kingdom of God. Let’s briefly find out what the kingdom of God is and why it is worthy of our energy and pursuit. Seek First The Kingdom of God

Jesus told us that it was vital to pursue the things of God’s kingdom before the things of this world.

He was trying to give us a simple key
to help us keep our priorities straight.

Because most of us have no experience when it comes to kingdoms, this can be a bit of a foreign concept. Any kingdom is the area that someone rules
over or has controlling influence over.

In a sense, your house is a kingdom because you are the one that has the most control over what goes on there. The kingdom of God is an area that is ruled
by His love and overflowing grace.

When we decide to seek first the kingdom of God, we are entering into a whole new dimension that is so much higher than this earthly existence.

The first step in this process is finished when we are born again by our confession of faith in the King, Jesus Christ.

That’s the easy part. The tough part is daily committing our lives to putting God and His will first before everything else. We have to face and overcome the opposite values of this world every day.

That is a huge task because we can’t be God’s representatives and hide ourselves away from what’s going on around us.

Seek First The Kingdom of God

If you have tasted of the Lord’s goodness, then you should already have a desire to seek first the kingdom of God. In His kingdom there are no limits and being in His kingdom is the most exciting place you can be.

When we became God’s children, we became a part of His family and we are called to be about His business. We have become God’s ambassadors and our job is to release the influence of His kingdom wherever we go.

The problem is we can’t give away what we don’t have. But don’t buy the lie that the things of God’s kingdom are not reachable. They are not out of our reach.

Jesus backed this truth up in Luke 17 when He said that the kingdom of God is within you.

If it is so reachable, them why isn’t everyone walking in the glory of His kingdom? There is a simple answer to that.

Before we do, let us say this. Some people think God is stingy. That’s why He gave us His Son and that’s why Jesus’ miracles reeked of overflowing
abundance. God is not stingy.

Jesus also told us in Luke 12 that it is the Father’s good pleasure to give us His kingdom. Believe this.

Here is the simple answer. The things of God’s kingdom are ours as we learn to lay hold of them BY FAITH. BY FAITH.

As you begin to seek first His kingdom by faith, watch your lives explode with magnificent blessing. The kingdom of God is yours.

Michael and Charleen

P.S. We all need constant reminders and encouragement to SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD. Courageous Men’s Destiny Teams are forming now to help you do just that at the link above.

When God Says Fear Not In the Bible, Do You Listen?

Filed under: Men's Destiny Teams — Tags: , , , , — admin @ 7:03 pm

Fear Not In The Bible

There are over 300 places where God or Jesus says fear not in the Bible. There is no hidden or complicated meaning here. Why don’t more people listen to this, though? Fear Not in the Bible

Do I need to remind you that God is all wise? He knows what He is talking about. When God says fear not in the Bible, we should listen.

Fear is very destructive because it gives the enemy access into your life to steal, kill and destroy those things that are most precious.

One such fear not verse that comes to mind is when the disciples see Jesus walking on the water. Everyone in the boat except Peter were afraid. Peter was
able to get past the fear quickly and step out in faith.

The fear the disciples were feeling robbed them of an opportunity to become bolder.

Job’s Fear Not In the Bible

I heard a sermon a while back explaining how the devil was able to gain access to Job. The Lord’s protection around Job was not random.

Job honored the Lord in almost all of his dealings. God’s protection is a result of our obedience and faith and love in Him.

How could God possibly give the devil permission to attack him? Because Job had already done so with his fear. He was not following the instruction
to fear not in the Bible.

Job said the thing he greatly feared had happened after his children were killed. Fear will punch a hole in your wall of protection.

The scripture fear not for I am with you from Isaiah 41 tells us why we don’t have to be afraid. God says He will make us strong and He is the One who will hold us up.

Fear Not in the Bible vs. Fear of the Lord

Now this may sound a bit confusing, but we are also instructed in the Bible to fear the Lord. We know that we are not supposed to have fear, but then we are
told the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. What is the deal?

First of all, fear is not of God. He doesn’t operate in the realm of fear. He operates in love.

Just like many English words have two or three or four meanings, the Hebrew word “yare” has more than one meaning related to fear. The other meaning has to do with a sense of awe and wonder and reverence.

You can see now that God doesn’t want us trembling in fright before Him expecting Him to smack us down. He does ask that we respond to His presence and His Word with unmatched reverence and awe. That would be logical since He is so great and His love knows no bounds.

This sense of awe might be like how you would respond to a total stranger risking their life to save you from some danger.

That explains how God says in Isaiah 42:20 that He will “put His fear in our hearts” so that it would not be easy for us to walk away from Him. He says that this would be the best thing for us and our children.

We know personally how this feels. The stupidest thing in the world for us to do would be to turn our backs on our Heavenly Father. Now do we understand
everything that happens? No.

Whether it is fear not in the Bible or the fear of the Lord, we trust that He will make it all work out in the end.

Do You Have Any Strategies to Getting Over Fear That Grips You?

Filed under: Against the Flow,Home Business — Tags: , , , — admin @ 5:25 pm

Getting Over Fear

Getting over fear that tries to strangle the life out of you must begin now. There are ways to push the ugly head of fear out of your life. Choose now to put a stop to fear that keeps you tied up. Getting Over Fear

Fear will always be with you in some shape but you don’t have to let it run your life. Facing your fear will help you cancel its control over  you.

Fear is a feeling we get when we are unsure of what can happen or even afraid of what is going to happen. It is an expectation that something has and will go wrong.

For help in getting over fear, a good thing to remember about fear is that it’s normal to feel fear. It’s something we all have to face in different ways throughout our lives.

Some people have a fear of such things as spiders or snakes. This is usually because they believe these animals will do them harm. Many have a fear of getting sick or having to deal with something serious like cancer.

Sometimes a fear may be real and sometimes it is imagined. They both can do serious damage.

There are also fears inside you that are usually more powerful and can prevent you from reaching your goals in life.

Strategies to Getting Over Fear

Let’s take a look at some strategies to getting over fear that has you in its grip.

1) Getting over fear that hinders you starts with being able to identify what that fear is. There are very many possibilities here.

Your fear can be a lot like a noun because it could be connected to a person, place, or thing. Many people fear the possibility of failing at something. Another common fear is losing something. That can be a physical possession, a person, an accomplishment, a place of honor, or a feeling.

2) The most important strategy in getting over fear is very simple. You must decide to face your fears. The tough question is how to face your fears.

A big help with this is to decide what kind of protective shield you can use to help face your fear. Wearing a glove to handle a spider would be a simple example. An imaginary friend of your faith in God to preserve you are other examples.

3) The third strategy is to look to someone you can trust for support and encouragement. Make sure this person is patient because you may need to take “baby steps” towards getting over fear in your life.

Being afraid doesn’t mean you can’t fight back. You can take fear down by simply facing it. You see, fear is an emotion, but it comes attached to some ugly mindsets – thoughts like: I’ll be ruined, everyone will hate me, everyone will laugh at me, or I can never make a mistake.

Being brave doesn’t mean you won’t feel afraid. It does mean that you’ll face that fear and not let it take you down. What is the result of getting over fear? You are one step closer to freedom.

No matter what you fear, you are in position to defeat it by facing it. Even if something bad happens, you’ve won by facing your fear.

Getting Over Fear Example

Take for instance, the boy who has been getting hassled by a bully in the neighborhood every day he goes outside. He has become so fearful
of going out to play even though he loves being outdoors.

He is fearful of being beat up but doesn’t want to tell his mom. The bully keeps going after his target because he senses the boy is afraid. Finally, one day he decides that he is going to face that bully and fight back if necessary.

He does so and gets beat up. The next day he goes back outside but something is different. He isn’t afraid anymore. The bully leaves him alone now, though.

Life is full of potential dangers and fear will try to come up often. As you have more success in getting over fear, you’ll get stronger and more confident. That puts you on the path to freedom to become all that God has created you to be.

What Is The Abrahamic Covenant for Today’s Families Dealing with The Economy

Filed under: Men's Destiny Teams — Tags: , , , , — admin @ 9:50 pm

What Is The Abrahamic Covenant

What is the Abrahamic covenant for families in the 21st century? Do you think God’s covenant with Abraham is able to reach across 4000 years to impact families living in the 21st century? What Is The Abrahamic Covenant

Today’s families need all the help they can get dealing with the economy. The news is full of stories of massive lay-offs, droughts and food prices rising, troubles in the Middle East keeping the gas prices high, and companies folding like lawn chairs at poolside.

But there was a man named Abraham who was obedient and faithful to God. You know the story in Genesis.

What is the Abrahamic covenant? God promised Abraham that he would become a great nation and that He would “bless” him and make his name great.

Sounds like a big winner for Abraham and his family and his descendants. But what about us today? I’m getting there soon.

Read this next statement very carefully. God also said that He would bless those who blessed Abraham and that a channel for blessing to come to the families of the earth would be through Abraham.

Remember the old saying that it’s not what you know but who you know? The key question here is what did God mean by bless. The answer to that is seen in what happened in Abraham’s life afterwards.

What Is The Abrahamic Covenant?

What is the Abrahamic covenant? We will focus on two main areas of what this blessing from God meant to Abraham: wealth and destiny.

Wealth has become a dirty word in Christian circles. To put it rather bluntly, that is a dog-gone lie. God takes pleasure in the prosperity of His people.

God does not want us to be poor. He wants us to be a blessing so we can be His vessel of blessing to others.

What God is concerned with is how we use wealth. Are we using using it only for our pleasure or are we using to release others from bondage? Today’s economy has been able to put a lot of families under oppression.

What is the Abrahamic covenant? It was a promise for wealth. The covenant of Abraham with God made him a very wealthy man.

As Christians, we cannot shy away from wealth. Wealth can either do great damage or great good. It depends on whose hands it is in.

God does not want us worrying about the poor economy. He wants us turning to Him in faith so He  can bless the work of our hands.

Some of that work can be funding some of the awesome ministries out there doing invaluable work. Wealth can also be a powerful tool of witnessing
to God’s goodness and love. And as we give and bless others, seeds of humility grow within us.

What Is The Abrahamic Covenant? Part 2

The second answer to what is the Abrahamic covenant  is walking in our destiny. Abraham went from being a elderly man with a barren wife to the father of many nations.

Our destinies in the Lord are all related in some way in dealing with today’s economy with a Godly purpose. God wants more for us than just getting by.

What is the Abrahamic covenant? It is the ability to stand above the trials and struggles we are facing with purpose. God wants us responding specifically to our circumstances with His vision or direction that has been provided by Him.

Abraham and the covenant of Godly wealth and destiny is ours today through our confession of faith in Jesus Christ.

Abraham is obviously no longer alive, but we can be aligned with him through the nation of Israel. Ask the Lord how you can do this.

That is one powerful way that you can activate your commitment to “blessing Abraham”. Get ready to watch God’s blessing come upon you and overtake you and be at peace in today’s economy.

The Definition of Perseverance from A Writer’s Point of View

Filed under: Against the Flow — Tags: , , , , — admin @ 10:22 pm

The Definition of Perseverance

If you are looking for Webster’s definition of perseverance, you have come to the wrong place. The meaning of perseverance for a writer takes on a whole new picture. Definition of Perseverance

Writing a book or a short story takes a lot of perseverance. This especially comes into play when you are dealing with the dreaded “writer’s block”.

It can be helpful to remember that you are sharing part of yourself to the world. The most important thing to keep in mind is not to get discouraged.

The definition of perseverance for a writer means you have the potential to impact the lives of many readers with every piece that you create. You will not
be moved from your mission. Your creation is one of a kind in the world.

Many writers get hung up on the idea that their writing has to be absolutely perfect all of the time. If the words aren’t effortlessly coming out, that is
understandable. The meaning of perseverance for a writer is knowing the right words will come.

Writers have moods, too. Those moods can get pretty nasty sometimes. If you are truly writing from your heart, your mood will affect the words you are choosing. Your writing should reflect your life.

One of the most obvious obstacles all writers face is dealing with the distractions. It is very important that you discover a way to stay focused. You must be able to push away those distractions and be determined to complete your task. The distractions will come without a doubt.

The Writer’s Definition of Perseverance Tips

The definition of perseverance means being able to stay focused and here are some helpful tips.

1) Do your best to eliminate the obvious distractions by choosing a quiet place. Music and other noises in your environment will usually keep you from  being “on your game”.

2) Some writers find using some visual image that is related to current project helps keep them inspired and focused.

3) There will also be internal distractions that can hinder your work. Thoughts about events that just happened can be very irritating. The definition of
perseverance might include incorporating those potentially distracting thoughts into your masterpiece.

4) Juggling life’s other responsibilities is an important skill for good writers. Make a list of what those are at least on a weekly basis and get them completed as soon as possible. That’s also part of the definition of perseverance for writers.

Don’t forget that family is not just one of life’s duties. Make sure that you are not neglecting those close to you and those supporting you.

5) Learn how to use the concept of a deadline wisely. Sometimes deadlines are real and you don’t want your work to be rushed. In these case, create smaller
deadlines for yourself to make sure this doesn’t happen. In other cases, a self-imposed deadline can be quite helpful in bringing you past writer’s block.

6) The definition of perseverance can mean writing through internal obstacles. Your work may not fit with you current project, but it may clear the way for you to get back on task.

7) Stick to what you are passionate about. Make sure your passion comes through in your material.
