\"Icon_small1\"Today at The Gathering<\/a> we continued in our current series, \u201cThe Power To Prevail.\u201d\u00a0 This is based on my book, \u201cThe Power To Prevail.\u201d<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve set up a web site called ThePowerToPrevail.com<\/a> where you can go and get a free course in The Power To Prevail delivered straight to your inbox, find the book, and also download the audio if you\u2019re too busy to read.<\/p>\n

Today we talked about \u201cTurning Anxieties Into Action.\u201d <\/span> It seems like everywhere we turn today people are anxious.\u00a0 They\u2019re anxious about the market: the housing market, the job market, Wall Street, the government, the future, their savings, 401k\u2019s.\u00a0 But really, is this unlike any other time in the world?\u00a0 We live in a dangerous place and worries and anxieties can overcome you and drive you into a corner of paranoia and inactivity.<\/p>\n

Today we asked the question, \u201cWhat best describes you?\u201d<\/span> Are you:
\n1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A low-try, low-trust person; a drifter?<\/span>
\n2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A high-try, low-trust person; a driver?<\/span>
\n3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A low-try, high-trust person; a dreamer?<\/span>
\n4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Or are you one of these rare people, a high-try, high-trust person, which is a daring-doer?<\/span> This means you get up every day, you suit up, show up and do the next right thing; act as though everything depends on you, and trust as though everything depends on God.\u00a0 If you are, you are what we call an action-oriented person.<\/p>\n

How do you know if you\u2019re an action-oriented person<\/span>?\u00a0 Here are the three qualities:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 They think big<\/span>.\u00a0 They realize that by faith, with God nothing is impossible; that one person, one woman, one man, one teenager, one single person with faith can change the world.
\n2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The difference between action-oriented people and those who just have their heads in the sky is that action-oriented people act small<\/span>.\u00a0 They realize that life is lived in the everyday, the mundane, and the routine.\u00a0 That\u2019s where greatness is grown.
\n3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 They lean hard<\/span>.\u00a0 They lean on God.\u00a0 They get up every single day knowing that God won\u2019t do for them what He\u2019s given them the power to do.\u00a0 And what He wants to do for us, He waits to do through us.\u00a0 This is about a relationship, not a transfer of assets.\u00a0 So we lean hard and trust in God.<\/p>\n

\"gathering_prayer_250px\"Also don\u2019t forget our citywide Gathering For Prayer<\/a> at 6:30 tomorrow night,<\/span> March 9th. This is going to be an awesome night.\u00a0 I hope you are planning to attend and bring someone with you.\u00a0 If you know people who are without jobs, have been laid-off, are in fear of being laid-off, who need prayer, who are serious about getting serious with God in prayer, bring them with you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
