Inhaltsangabe

I am an Endodontist (Root Canal Specialist) by profession. Don’t worry, this book has nothing to do with root canals but it does have information on PAIN-- how to avoid some pains in life and how pain can influence our lives, good and bad!

I believe motivational and inspirational words are keys for having a successful life. The book is a literary master piece combining biblical wisdom, wit, and real life experiences to bring comfort, prosperity, and direction to the hungry soul. For years I have always wanted to write a book on changing lives from a personal aspect based on my relationship with God.
This Is It!

I hope this book inspires, gives hope, and ignites dreams to come to reality daily in the hearts and minds of all people. Life is full of change and challenges we all must face. However, the determining factor is how we allow it to affect our lives.

Let’s get to the ROOT of Your Problem!

Chapter One

Day 1

We were all created in the image of God. God took His DNA and implanted it in the spirit of man. Therefore, originally, we were all the same in spirit. The difference came when we were influenced by sin from birth.

* * *

Day 2

Did you have a choice of your race, color, or nationality before you were born? No—but God did! You belonging to your family is no accident. Whether rich, poor, or in between, God purposed a plan for you to positively influence others around just you. That's one reason why you did not have a choice!

Day 3

God is love and has no color. That's why true love is colorblind.

* * *

Day 4

Have you discovered your God-given gift yet? If not, here are four questions that will help you:

1. What do you enjoy doing or what are you good at?

2. What comes naturally to you?

3. Would you do it even if you did not get paid?

4. Will it make a positive difference in the lives of others?

Day 5

Everyone likes investing in things with an instant return. Have you ever thought about investing in peace? Peace is an investment whose returns are sometimes not seen immediately. Peace does not come automatically. You have to want it and fight to keep it. Not arguing with your spouse can be a good start. Peace is more precious than fortune and fame because without it you can't enjoy either!

* * *

Day 6

One of the best tricks Satan uses is to convince people that he really does not exist—except on Halloween!

Day 7

Satan is good at using reverse psychology. He tries to convince godly folks to become close friends with ungodly people. Satan usually whispers that by being friends with ungodly people, you can win them over to God. I am not saying that we should avoid evil people or be unkind to them. However, we can't become too close to those who habitually practice wrongdoing. This has corrupted many godly people.

* * *

Day 8

It is amazing to see people who believe in magic, which is an illusion, and not believe in God, who is real!

Day 9

For those of you who enjoy speaking encouraging words, don't get caught up in the number of people who acknowledge your good works. Keep speaking positively anyway! There are people who listen to your words and are encouraged by them, but they don't want anyone else to know that they are on board with you.

Day 10

If Jesus was to post His sermons on Facebook or Twitter back in the day, I don't think many would check "I like his status!"

* * *

Day 11

Do you know people who always seem to be anxious or afraid? Perhaps they are spiritually weak. They need to be spiritually trained by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the Christian's "muscle" waiting to be flexed, exercised, and employed in every moment of the believer's life. If you are a believer, you have the Holy Spirit (strength of God) in you to change your situation and remove fear. The more you exercise the Holy Spirit in your life, the faster fear is replaced by faith!

Day 12

Why don't people at church praise and worship God the same way that they cheer at their favorite football game? Imagine all the people in the Georgia Dome at a Falcons game on one accord worshipping God in spirit and in truth that place may literally rock! We might be visited by a few confused angels thinking they are in heaven!

* * *

Day 13

"And all the people followed Solomon into Jerusalem, playing flutes and shouting for joy. The celebration was so joyous and noisy that the earth shook with the sound" (1 Kings 1:38).

Day 14

Can you think of a time or situation when you could have been killed or could have been in a lot of trouble, but somehow you got out of it? That's God interrupting what was meant to destroy you from your purpose. God only preserves what has purpose and meaning!

* * *

Day 15

Lord, I thank You for the good friends that You have surrounded me with. Help Your people in all walks of life who are struggling with the threat of unrighteous relationships. Do not allow us to turn our backs on those who need our help and prayers. However, help us to cut all ties with those who would lead us into wickedness. Fill us with Your Spirit today to be more like You. Amen.

Day 16

"Doors will open when you find the missing key." The lyrics in "Thank Me Now," by rapper-singer Drake, were originally in the Bible in Proverbs—by God!

* * *

Day 17

Some of you are preserving your cash because of fear of the economy. In the meantime, the interest is killing you! Pay off your debts if you have the money, but make sure that you have some left over for emergencies—at least one month's reserve. Debt is of the devil!

Day 18

Too many people put off going to school because of cost. Investing in yourself is priceless, especially when it comes to education that will pay off later. A student loan is one of the best investment tools you can ever get. Creditors can repossess items bought by other loans, but they can't repossess knowledge gained through education.

* * *

Day 19

If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new - (2 Corinthians 5:17). However, this is not in our flesh, nor in our soul—just in our Spirit. It is a constant battle, because our minds and bodies have to be renewed by the Word of God daily!

Day 20

Sometimes when reading the Bible online, it may say, "Web Shield Alert! Threat detected Threat name: Exploit Fragus Exploit Kit (type 905)." Satan wants to keep you from the truth! He does not want you to be empowered by the word! More words equal more power!

* * *

Day 21

How do I renew my mind?

1. Choose what you think about (guard your heart, because it determines your path).

2. Change your automatic pilot.

3. Go to the root of the problem.

4. Choose to depend on the Holy Spirit.

Day 22

God says, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge," which is in the Word. When you are spiritually ignorant, it's like going to war with a butter knife! Get the Word of God into your heart by reading, listening, and speaking it! God has provided it all in Jesus Christ, but it is up to us to individually get into the Word of God and learn who we are and what we have!
