I just wanted to say thank you for this tool you have made available for the advancement of Gods kingdom.

I’m the counseling coordinator of a faith based drug rehabilitation centre in Lagos Nigeria called Wellspring Rehabilitation Centre managed and funded by the Redeemed Christian Church of God Apapa Family, where Jesus uses us to rehabilitate drug addicts, miscreants and prostitutes, oh what power and glory and wonders we have seen!

I’m a businessman and I’ve always been guided by God and His word, even through many mistakes, He has helped me with my own career and businesses.

I needed something like this to teach our residents and beneficiaries on how to hear God and be guided by His Holy Spirit concerning their careers.

We run a two stage training program, the first is discipleship which is the process that gets them off drugs and prostitution, and the second is the vocational which sets them up in a job and helps them build their lives once again, for social reintegration.

The second part had always been difficult because many of our guys are confused as to which way to go, which career to follow, I have no doubt that with the tools you have made available, this confusion has come to an end in the name of Jesus.

May the Lord reward your labor of love, may you continue to be a blessing and a useful laborer in His vineyard,

God bless you real good!!

I am 58 years old and currently unemployed, In the past, I’ve also been convicted of criminal charges and had to get a pardon some years ago. I am currently unemployed because I didn’t do my best to be impeccable with my duties. I am a recovering addict and now have a deeper understanding of what it means to be rigorously honest in all my dealings – work, marraige, friendship etc.,.

Voices of guilt, shame, and sorrow are frequent at this time. I pray, meditate and use a lot of inspirational material including 12 Step readings, scripture, prayers and audios that help me deal with my self-loathing.
One of my favourite techniques is to write out these voices of my “parasite” (some call it satan)with a blue or black pen. These chatterboxes reveal themselves as the inner critic, victim, perpetraitor and pretend pal. I use a lined notebook and give these “idiots” the floor as I write out their words (without too much time and detail)on the left side of the notebook. Then I document the negative affirmations and self-destructive agreements (I ams) that they’ve left me with.

After that I come back with a red pen and take these troublemakers to court as I respond to them on the right side of the page. The inner critic always loses to the “inspirer”. The victim always falls to the “victor”. The perpetraitor cannot compete with the “understanding forgiver” and the pretend pal does not stand a chance against my true friend the “insightful questioner”. After this I use the red pen to oppose the negative, destructive beliefs and affirmations with reinforcing, productive insights and beliefs that are saturated with gratitude, inspiration, encouragement and kindness. These are the “I ams” that back me up and they carry a lot of truth.
The more I do this the quicker I am to recognize evil and illogical thought processes before they can govern my moods and attitudes.
Give it a shot for 30 days and see what happens. The devil hates confrontation and he hates being documented because it weakens him.
The “pen”, especially that red one, is mightier than the sword.

I also googled, “30 Days of Prayer to Understand God’s Career Plans for You” and will committ to you that I will follow it’s suggestions.” Why not check it out? Solutions always outnumber problems.

I’m on your side, Clyde!!!

please help me to secure answers unto it since, i really cant understand why everything seems so dark and very unclear.

Prayer is simply communicating with God. It is talking to Him in the simplest language possible–no fancy phrases or big sounding words; just pouring out your hear to Him. However, you must FIRST have a right relationship with Him through Jesus Christ, who paved the way with His death on a cross for us to be able to communicate freely with God. Prayer will not work unless you have this relationship. If you do not know Jesus Christ personally and have not accepted His atoning work on the cross, you should ask Him to save you right now! If you have received His free gift of salvation; then simply just pray. Tell Him of your fears, struggles and feelings. He promises to give you peace that passes all understanding–His peace, the only true peace there is.
