What Have You Done For Him To Change Your Life?

Hello All:
I just realized this is my first entry for the new year!  I am so excited for what I feel God as in store for me in 2011.  Towards the end of last year I was reminded by my wife, Misty, of a prophetic word that was given to me by Pastor Stanley Jack in 2004 at CitiChurch in Mansfield, OH.  He told me that in 7 years we, my family and I, would want for nothing.  As Misty and I began to think about that we realized that this is the start of that 7th year that God was talking about.  I began to get excited with anticipation as I thought about what, you will want for nothing, entailed.  I have learned by now not to try to figure out God and so I just decided to "roll with it."  


You know how the devil works, the moment we remembered that prophetic word it seemed as though all Hell had been released over my family and I.  But I have decided, like Peter in Acts 20:24 But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.  Peter was writing knowing full well that he was about to endure tremendous tribulation but he was saying that none of these things would move him from believing.  I have decided that very same thing, I do not care how it looks now because I know that this is my year that my family and I will want for nothing. 


Last year I really felt as though God had spoken to me that it was going to be a Banner Year, I may have written about this previously.  I was with Pastor Jerry at a revival and as I was praying at the altar the words "BANNER YEAR" came out of my spirit.  I could not escape that phrase, it was always on my mind.  Last year, 2010, God did some amazing things but I still felt as though I did not experience my banner year like I felt I was going to.  So the other day travelling home from work I was praying and I said "God I don't understand, you told me that 2010 would be my banner year but I don't feel as though that happened."  I then felt in my spirit like God said "But what did you do for me to cause that banner year to occur in your life."  It almost took my breath away because I was not expecting that kind of a response. 


But as I began to think about it I had to be honest with myself and God and admit that I really did not change A LOT of things in order for that Banner Year to happen.  But I have decided that 2011 will be a year of "No Regrets" and I will pursue and be on a journey to go deeper, farther & higher than I ever have.  The bus is leaving...


WANNA COME?!?!?
