PUSH THROUGH THE PAIN 2


You must have patient
And engage in consistent action
Look at your belief system every single day
And stick with it
 
Don’t rush the process
Trust the process
Everybody dreams of greatness
Everybody wants to be great
Wishes to be great and talks about great
 
Idolizes the greats
Everybody wants to be great
But only a few
When that moment present itself
Only a few when that time has come
 
Only a few are willing
To step up to the moment
And actually execute
When you’re dealing with another human being
It’s not how tall he is
 
When you’re dealing with another human being
It’s not how big he is
It’s not how strong he is
At the end of the day it comes down to will
Your dream counting on you, push
 
It’s alive it’s inside
How do you know?
You feel it you dream about it
You eat and sleep it everyday
When people talk to you
 
You tell them
This is what I’m gonna do, so push
Just push past the pain
Don’t quit…don’t give up
Push
 
Push your way to success
It’s gonna rain sometimes I will
You’re gonna feel discourage sometimes I will
No matter what the obstacle I will I must
Live extreme and push your boundaries

PUSH THROUGH THE PAIN 1


You will cry there’s some stuff
That will happen in your life
That will make you cry, it’s okay
It’s part of the deal
If you can’t handle pain
You don’t want success
 
You gotta look at life
When life knocks you down
And say this all you got is this it
I was born in the dark
Shape in the dark and molded by the dark
 
I will break you
You recycle your pain
You use your pain
And some of you are not successful
Because every single time 
You run against a trail
 
Every time you run up 
Against a tribulation you stop
And what I’m here to tell you is
If you tell that thing
I’m here just like you here
And I promise you
 
I ain’t leaving without the degree
I will not leave without that goal
I will not leave without that dream
I will not leave this university
Until I am successful
 
I will not leave this job
I will not leave this client
I will not leave this opportunity
Until I get it
 
And you’re gonna have to fight and fight
And most of you won’t be successful
Not because you can’t do it
But you can’t outlast your old you
To get your new you
PUSH THROUGH THE PAIN 2

WHEN LIFE HURTS 3


The righteous man
He falls 7 times
But he gets back up
Never give up
Never give in
 
Because skill can’t get
You pass certain things
Quickness, agility cant
You gotta have mental toughness
Pain ain’t permanent
 
Your pain ain’t permanent
You can get through this
You’re bigger than your pain
You’re better than that
Come on you need to remember
 
This is not the first time you cried
This is not the first time you
Were short of breath
This is not the first time
You didn’t see a way clear
This is not the first time you were hurt
This is not the first time your heart was broken
This is not the first time you didn’t have enough money
This is not the first diagnosis that came up from behind
 
You’re going to live
Because you will stand tall in all these
This too shall pass and you will be fine
Whole heartedly again and again
When life hurt

WHEN LIFE HURTS 2


Life is hard sometimes
Easy is not an option
But it’s worth fighting, believing
It’s worth giving yourself a chance
It’s worth mustering yourself up
 
Standing up inside yourself
It’s worth fighting relentlessly never giving up
It’s worth it you can do it
There’s problems that we go through
That cause stress, worry, anxiety and fear
 
But you might be in the battle of your life
I wanna encourage you
It’s not about what’s happening around you
It’s always about what’s happening inside of you
When life hurts
 
Just because you feel afraid
Doesn’t mean you have to be afraid
Just because you feel discouraged
Doesn’t mean you have to be discouraged
Just because you have fear
Doesn’t mean fear has to have you
 
The sentence out of your mouth
Is a story that you are putting out
I’m not gonna make it I quit
Let’s get a divorce
Business is never coming back
 
We’ve lost too many people
I’ve made too many mistakes
I’m a failure nobody can help me
I’ve done too many bad things
I don’t know what’s coming out of your mouth
 
But it’s a death sentence
And as you continue to confess it
And as you continue to declare it
Well don’t be surprise when it
Becomes true in your life
 
We have to make sure
That whenever I feel
When I think a death sentence
I must speak a life sentence
When life hurts

....WATCH OUT FOR WHEN LIFE HURTS 3

WHEN LIFE HURTS 1


What do you do
When your battle chooses you
What do you do
When something shows up on your door step
That you did not directly cause
 
Choose or definitely anticipate
Life is not always easy
Infact some of you today
You’re here and you’re going through
The toughest season of your life
 
There will be season
Where we will suffer
There will be seasons for real pain
And the question is, how we you respond
In those moments.

FINISHING STRONG: HOW IT ALL STARTED


As a matter of fact in 1946
The National Association of Evangelicals
Published an article on men who were best used by God
In that organization’s five years existence
The article highlighted the ministry of chuck Templeton
Billy Graham was never mentioned
Templeton many felt would be next Babe Ruth of evangelisms

Bron Clifford was yet
Another gifted twenty fire year old fire ball
In 1945 many believed Clifford
The most gifted and powerful preacher
The church had seen in centuries

In that same year
Clifford preached to an auditorium of thousands in Miami, Florida
People lined up ten and twelve deep outside the auditorium
Trying to get in, later the same year when Clifford was preaching
In the chapel at Baylor University the president ordered class bells turn off
So that the young man could minister without interruption
For two hours fifteen minutes he kept those students on the edge of their seats
As he preached on the subject “Christ and the Philosopher’s Stone”

At the age of twenty five
Young Clifford touched more lives
Any other clergyman his age in America history
National leaders vied for his attention
He was tall handsome, intelligent and eloquent
Hollywood invited him
To audition for the part of Marcellus in the “The Rope”
It seemed as if he had everything

FINISHING STRONG: ONE OUT OF TEN


The year 1945 was remarkable too
As 1994 was a great year for rookies hoop stars
So 1945 was an absolutely unbelievable for rookies evangelist
In that year twenty seven year old Billy Graham
Came storming out of seemingly nowhere to fill
Auditorium across America speaking to many
As thirty thousand people a night

Graham was hired as the first
Full time evangelist for Youth for Christ
And his reputation as a uniquely gifted preacher
Roared across America like a praise fire
Rest of course is history

You’ve heard of Billy Graham
But what about Chuck Templeton
Or better still Bron Clifford
Have you ever heard of them?
One out of ten remember

Billy Graham wasn’t the only preacher
Packing auditorium in 1945
Chuck Templeton and Bron Clifford
Were accomplishing the same thing and more
One out of ten

All three young men were in their midtwenties
One seminary president after hearing Chuck Templeton
Preach one evening to an audience of thousands
Called him the most gifted and talented young man
In America today for preaching

Templeton and Graham were friends
Both ministered for Youth for Christ
Both were extraordinary preachers
Yet in those early years most observers would probably
Have put their money on Templeton

CHASE YOUR GREATNESS


If you live each day as it were your last
Someday you will get all right
Remember that we all be dead soon
Is one of the biggest tools to make each moment counts
If today where your last day of life

Everything the external expectation
Fear of failures these things just all fall away
In the face of death leaving only what matters
Remembering that you are going to die
Is the best way I know to avoid 
The trap of thinking you have something to lose

The best way I know to avoid thinking
You are all already naked
There is no reason for you not to follow your heart
The first step for anyone to believe you
Is for you to believe in yourself

Because if you are foucs and passionately driven
You can achieve anything you want to achieve
Your time is limited so don’t waste it living in someonelse’s life
Don’t be trapped by dogma which is living with result according
Of other people’s don’t let the noise of other people’s opinion
Drown down your own inner voice and most important
Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition
Because they truly know what you want to be in life

Most people don’t walk on their dreams
Why? Because of fear of failure what of things don’t work out
Fear of success what if they do and I can handle it
Most people get comfortable they get comfortable and stop growing
Throwing tower on themselves and their dream

If you are passionate and good at what you do
People will take notice and single you out
Sometimes we can say I can do that
But what we say is possible I can have my dream
As you run every day run towards your dream

Be a risk taker not the one who raise a family only
And they earn a living then they die without not reach beyond it
Whatever your dream is be willing to take on your dream
In the process of chasing your dream you come to realize
That you have a dream inside of you that you want to birth into reality

You don’t have to go through life been a victim
A redemptive power of making a choice have
Is for you to make a choice how you gonna be who you gonna be
