Do it God’s Way

This episode is part of the Overcomer series. We originally recorded these teachings inside our Christian Book Academy Facebook group as live videos. However, we wanted to also encourage you in the writing, publishing and marketing of your books.

Today’s topic is: Do it God’s Way

Scriptures:

“Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in his eyes.” – Romans‬ ‭12:2‬ ‭TPT‬‬

“You are the body of the Anointed One, and each of you is a unique and vital part of it.” – 1 Corinthians‬ ‭12:27‬ ‭TPT‬‬

“Peter turned around and saw behind them the disciple Jesus loved—the one who had leaned over to Jesus during supper and asked, “Lord, who will betray you?” Peter asked Jesus, “What about him, Lord?” Jesus replied, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? As for you, follow me.” – ‭‭John‬ ‭21:20-22‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Notes from this episode:

  • Story of black boots hurting my feet and wearing my running shoes instead to speak at GOA. Wearing shoes with a heel and narrow toe box are causing bunions on my feet.
  • The world tries to squeeze us into its mold.
  • However, God’s way often looks much different and doesn’t always make sense.

Scriptures:

“Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in his eyes.” – Romans 12:2 TPT

“You are the body of the Anointed One, and each of you is a unique and vital part of it.” – 1 Corinthians 12:27 TPT

“Peter turned around and saw behind them the disciple Jesus loved — the one who had leaned over to Jesus during supper and asked, “Lord, who will betray you?” Peter asked Jesus, “What about him, Lord?” Jesus replied, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? “As for you, follow me.” John 21:20-22 NLT

  • Each of us needs to simply keep our eyes on Jesus and follow Him without worrying about what others are doing. “As for you, follow me.”
  • Your journey will look different than mine since we’re each created uniquely

Quotes:

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” – Oscar Wilde

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.” – Steve Jobs

“Always be a first-rate version of yourself and not a second-rate version of someone else.” – Judy Garland
