More Word about the heart.

Tonight we bombard Heaven - 6 Hours of Victory I heard the Lord say Victory shall come as a result of this tonight. In session 3 God Turns the Fire Up Yet Again! Prayers over us and the changes in our atmosphere The Word, The Word, and More WORD was released Fresh Wind Fresh Fire We end in a time of soaking.

“But what things were gain to me, these I have countedloss for Christ.” ~Philippians 3:7 (NKJV)We are living in some crazy times! Do you realize the ApostlePaul was living during some crazy times as well? Do you realize thatever since sin entered the world, crazy times have been prevalent?Sin always brings death. Death always means separation,separation from a loving Father. Therefore, wherever sin is allowedto run rampant, so too, darkness is going to run rampant.To try to counteract the effects of sin in any way other than withthe Word is futile. This is why it is so important that we asChristians delve into the Word in these last days like never before!We are living in a time of gross darkness and the only thing todispel it is the Word!“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto mypath.” ~Psalm 119:105 (KJV)The apostle Paul was an awesome man of God, but he knew thatwithout Christ, he was lost!“Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: butthis one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind,and reaching forth unto those things which are before, Ipress toward the mark for the prize of the high calling ofGod in Christ Jesus.” ~Philippians 3:13-14 (KJV)Listen, when life kicks our bucket, whatever's on the inside, inabundance, is going to spill out!What do you want to spill out, you or the Word? I say we rise upa standard in these last days and allow the Word to come out!Why is this so important?“But if our gospel he hid, it is hid to them that are lost:In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds ofthem which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel ofChrist, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. ”~II Corinthians 4:3-4 (KJV)The enemy is working overtime to keep his followers blinded tothe Truth, to the Light!There is no reasoning with sin. There is no reasoning with death.There is no reasoning with darkness. There is One answer and Onealone: His name is Jesus!It is imperative that we not only allow Him to have the throne ofour hearts always, but that we fill up on Him every day! There is areal devil out there. He is a defeated foe. He is a conquered foe. Buthe will still, as I once heard a pastor say, ―Eat your lunch and popthe bag,‖ if we let him.Let's not let him! Let's be full of the Word! Not only forourselves, but for a world that is lost, hurting, and blind! They needJesus, not vain philosophy. They need Jesus, not vain initiatives.They need Jesus, not temporary fixes. They need Jesus, notone-liners, memes, or gifs.What do you say, fellow soul winner? Let this be our motto inthese last days, ―More Word, Less Me!‖

Fruits that remain are love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, temperance,(self control) long suffering Galatians 5:22-23 King James Version 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. What has so beset you that you would loose your fruit? What happened to your love walk and love talk? Did you allow the test to hinder you from a greater testimony? It's an honor and a joy to be salt and light to the earth. We do this not in our own strength, but by the power of the Holy Spirit within us. To God be the glory in our lives. May the world see Jesus today and every day through us. Matthew 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Matthew 5:1-16 The Sermon on the Mount 1When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain and sat down. His disciples came to Him,  2and He began to teach them, saying: The Beatitudes Matthew 5: 3-16 3“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. 5Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.a 6Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. 7Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. 8Blessed are the pure in heart,for they will see God. 9Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God. 10Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.  12Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets before you. Salt and Light Matthew 5:13-16 13You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its savor, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. 14You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.  15Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket. Instead, they set it on a stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.  16In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. Psalm 119:130 kjv 130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. So the more word of God that you take in you the more light you will also have in you because Jesus is the light and he is also the word!!! The More Word, the More Jesus, the more Jesus, the more light, the more light, the more your fruit will remain

When COVID19 became our reality, our lives took on a whole different meaning. Many of us began thinking about life in a whole lot of new dimensions - fear, uncertainty, purpose, safety, survival, peace - no emotion left unturned. For many guys, including my friend and guest, Matt Ward, suddenly we felt vulnerable on a different level, maybe even first time feelings and began wondering, "How now, do I take care of my family?" In this candid conversation, Matt and I explore vulnerability and responsibility in the face of chaos and crisis, and how to navigate it for the good of yourself and others.

““Blessed [joyful, nourished by God’s goodness] are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness [those who actively seek right standing with God], for they will be [completely] satisfied.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:6‬ ‭AMP‬‬ . “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:6‬ ‭CSB‬‬ . Hunger-to be hungry, to be needy, crave, seek with eager desire  Thirst -suffer, thirst for a long time,wanting a soul refresh  Filled-but longing for more.  . You have to have the right spiritual appetite.  As we sit in our homes, not able to go to fine dining or local restaurants, it's causing us to make meals at home that suit our appetite. But do you have an appetite for the Lord? Are you craving the things of Christ? While we are near our snacks during this time, we should feast on the Word of God. Jesus and chips! ““You’re blessed when you’ve worked up a good appetite for God. He’s food and drink in the best meal you’ll ever eat.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:6‬ ‭MSG‬‬   . You have to know the food source. ““Come, everyone who is thirsty, come to the water; and you without silver, come, buy, and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without silver and without cost! Why do you spend silver on what is not food, and your wages on what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to me, and eat what is good, and you will enjoy the choicest of foods.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭55:1-2‬ ‭CSB‬‬ Come everyone -it's free food You can’t purchase it because it's free. Something your money can't buy  Jesus offers free salvation as a gift to anyone and everyone who is thirsty and wants to come.  Eat what is good. He is good. Taste and see  . What do I hunger for? Power, success, relationships, comfort, happiness  What is my source when I am hungry ? Am I spiritually malnourished? What nutrients do I need to add to my diet? More Word, more prayer, more worship?   The Chew: Hunger and Thirst for right living with God

  Matt grew up in a single parent household and attended a school for disadvantaged kids, where they taught him about effort. He realized that, if he wanted to live a different life, he'd have to figure things out on his own. Matt grew a business and with perseverance, he maneuvered it through the 2008 economic crisis. He successfully sold the business. Today, Matt speaks and helps business to grow. He shares these powerful nuggets of life wisdom: - perseverance is the key - believe in yourself - use the skills that you already possess - drop the inner critic and self doubt, as they don't serve you - take inventory of the people around you on a regular basis and make adjustments, if needed - make sure your circle includes people that help to lift you up - surround yourself with trusted advisors - don't quit, keep going - fear no longer exists, once you take action - don't stop just before you get those breakthroughs - work hard and be patient for the results - to attract and keep clients, have real conversations with people and care about them Matt Ward is the founder of Breakthrough Champion… In 2002 Matt started a website agency, inConcert Web Solutions, which he, in turn, sold in 2018, so that he could focus on helping businesses get more word of mouth referrals!

Anyone who has ran a business knows how important business referrals can be -- so much that some are willing to spend a good amount of advertising dollars in order to increase their number. After all, how else would you get those referrals coming in, right?   Matt Ward says, “Wrong.”  Matt is a professional member of the National Speakers Association and a podcast host of the popular small business podcast Square Peg Round Hole! He’s also a 40 Under 40 Recipient and Chamber Small Business Owner of the Year.  He is the founder of Breakthrough Champion and author of “MORE…Word of Mouth Referrals, Lifelong Customers & Raving Fans” which was released in September 2018 and was a #1 New Release.   He initially started a website agency called in Concert Web Solutions which he eventually sold in 2018 so that he could focus on helping businesses get more word-of-mouth referrals through his public speaking platform.  Matt believes that the problem with small business is bananas, and, today, he’ll tell us why.   Goin’ Bananas  If the first thing that popped into your mind when you heard Matt’s core belief is the image of a monkey, then you are not alone.  Matt, however, is quick to explain that his belief has nothing to do with primates and the yellow fruit, but with people who go to events and hand out business cards without engaging people in meaningful conversations first -- something that he likens to dumping bananas on people without considering whether they’d like them or not.  Changing Tactics  Matt admits that early in his career, he was probably one of those people handing bananas as well, but after reading Keith Ferrazzi’s “Never Eat Alone,” he grew to understand relationships better.   He also learned how you can build mutually beneficial ones simply by engaging them in a conversation and truly caring about what they have to say.   How to Get Word-of-Mouth Referrals  Matt shares that about 90% of his business now relies on word-of-mouth referrals alone, and he said he managed to do this by educating people.  “You have to arm people with the knowledge of what it is you’re looking for and what you’re all about.”   He said a lot of people get lost in targeting the right market that they neglect to figure out the message that they want to send. “You need to know your topic first; your target second,” he explains.  Grateful to be Living the Dream  Matt said like everyone, he had his dreams when he was younger, but like a lot of people, he thought they were just that -- dreams.   After all, he’s the first in his family to graduate and the first one not to go into prison, but he met someone who encouraged him to start his own business, he decided to give it a try, made some big changes in his life, and now he’s here.  Building Relationships with People  Matt said he owes it all to the relationships he built, which, he said, all started from caring.  “When you care about others, they care about you, and referrals are a by-product of caring,” Matt explained.  That said, he reminds people not to give just for the sake of getting something in return. Even if people don’t refer you, he said that it builds a habit of helping other people, and you’ll never know how it’s going to impact their life, and, maybe in the future, yours as well.  One Step at a Time  “You can’t care about 200 people at once.” Matt knows this too well so he advises people to take things one step at a time. He says you can start by staying in touch then paying attention to what they say. After that, always try to find ways to provide value to the people you meet.  “One of the core tenets behind getting word-of-mouth referrals is surprise.” The goal of advertising is to always be at the top of the mind of your prospects, and this is one good way of leaving a strong impression on them.   Favorite Book  Matt identifies Keith’s Ferrazi’s “Never Eat Alone” as his favorite book. In fact, he has multiple copies in his bookshelf that he ships out to other people every now and then.  Resources  If you want to learn more about Matt Ward or book his services for an event, you can get in touch with him through his website or LinkedIn account. He also has a FaceBook group that you can join to get free tips on how to get more referrals by word of mouth.
