Habits are behind most of the actions we perform every day. A lot of what we do happens in our subconscious. If we can harness the power of our habits for the good, we can surely see more fruit in our lives.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/nathantrivette)

The Parable of the Fishless Fisherman's FellowshipThe fishermen were surrounded by streams and lakes full of hungry fish. They met regularly to discuss the call to fish, the abundance of fish, and the thrill of catching fish. They got excited about fishing. Someone suggested that they needed a philosophy of fishing, so they carefully defined and redefined fishing. They also developed fishing strategies and tactics. They began research studies and attended conferences on fishing. Some traveled to faraway places to study different kinds of fish with different habits. A few even got doctorates in fishology, but no one had yet gone fishing.So a committee was formed to send out fishermen. As prospective fishing places outnumbered fishermen, the committee needed to determine priorities. A priority list of fishing places was posted on bulletin boards in all the fellowship halls, but still no one was fishing. A survey was launched to find out why. Most didn’t answer the survey, but from those who did, it was discovered that some felt called to study fish, a few to furnish fishing equipment, and several to go around encouraging the fishermen. With so many important meetings, conferences, and seminars, they just simply didn’t have time to fish.Now Jake was a newcomer to the Fishermen’s Fellowship. After one stirring meeting of the fellowship, he went fishing and caught a large fish. At the next meeting, he told his story and was honored for his catch. He was told that he had a special gift of fishing. He was then scheduled to speak at all the fellowship chapters and tell everyone how he did it. With all the speaking invitations and his election to the Board of Directors, Jake no longer had time to go fishing, but soon he began to feel restless and empty. He longed to feel the tug on the line once again. So he canceled the speaking, he resigned from the board, and he said to a friend, “Hey, let’s go fishing.” And that’s exactly what the two of them did. Lo and behold, they caught fish.Acts 19:8-10Revival comes through discipline and being obedient to the commands of ChristIt is possible to reach the masses through discipline, diligence, and strategyPaul reach all of Asia within 2 yearsSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/nathantrivette)
