The Third “G” force available to propel your career forward is the supernatural force of “Gratitude”.  The definition of gratitude is the quality of feeling thankful and a readiness to show appreciation and kindness.  This state of mind is a very powerful transformational force that exists in a person when they know they have themselves been forgiven by God.  The biggest issue most people face is not realizing their sin before God.  Often, you see this in people who constantly blame others for their situation, instead of realizing their part in the problem.  When you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you are accepting the fact that you have sin in your life and the only thing that can remove that sin from your life is the blood of Jesus Christ.

When you know you are completely forgiven and cleansed by the blood of Christ, you can then experience the power of gratitude.  And what happens next is truly amazing.  When you move into a state of gratitude, you set yourself up to experience the thoughts, feelings, vibrations and experiences in life that God has intended you to experience.  Gratitude puts you into a state of harmony with the creative side of God.  You experience the splendor of knowing that God has wonderfully and fearfully made YOU and that you have worth and that you are designed for Greatness in every way. It is this supernatural power of gratitude that allows you to connect directly with God.  You feel the peace and joy of knowing how valuable you are in His eyes.

Gratitude will help you propel your career and your life forward so rapidly, that others will wonder how it all happened!  You will become a magnet for others and and inspiration and will move in the direction of your destiny and purpose.  There is nothing so wonderful, than to be in the presence of someone who is filled with gratitude. Your viewpoint tells you what the right attitude is, and obedience to the soul puts you into it.  Somewhere in the state of gratitude, you meet God. With the power of gratitude, you cease from looking at human mistakes and look at successes; cease from seeing faults and see virtues.  With gratitude you know longer look at human beings as lost and ruined and descending into hell; you must come to regard them as shining souls who are ascending into heaven!

In short, gratitude is a supernatural force that propels you into a state higher than that of normal man. It provides the ladder to greatness and the vision to live a life on purpose.

Finally, living with a sense of gratitude is so important because your place in life, including your material environment, is determined by the thought form you habitually hold of yourself.

The second “G” force available in the supernatural is that of Grace.  This is not just something that you say at the dinner table, but a powerful, downloadable, invisible power that is available for you to have in both your business and personal life.  While sometimes very hard to define, God’s Grace is a powerful force that will transform your work here on earth.

I am sure that we all experience the Grace of God on a daily basis, but there are times in life, when you know that what happened to you was a God encounter and you can’t explain it any other way.  Some folks like to say it was a coincidence, or it happened by luck or chance, but when you know that you have truly experienced Grace you are transformed.  Your life is different and you can’t live the way you used to live any longer.

Grace, for me, came at 42 when I was suffering through a betrayal of a close friend and business partner.  It was on the night of November 7, 2002, that I felt the Holy Spirit enter my body and I experienced what God’s Grace is all about.  I was healed that night from the torment I was experiencing from the betrayal.  It was God’s Grace that night that changed my life forever.  Once you have experienced God’s Grace for yourself, the way you look at life completely changes.  The way you behave in business completely changes.  The way you led your family completely changes.

Finally, when you know that God has forgiven you for all what you have done in your life through his Grace, you suddenly realize that you can forgive others.  While not easy, it is completely possible.  I was able to forgive my friend, who betrayed me, because  I was forgiven myself.  I understand that with any relationship,it takes two people, and both can be at fault.   That doesn’t mean that I agree what he did, but then again, Jesus was betrayed by one of his best friends and he did nothing at all to deserve that.  SO, it should be of any surprise  that it happens.  I believe that in some ways, my friend truly had no choice but to betray me.  Because, God had planned a different direction for my life.  The Bible says, what others do as evil, God, through his Grace, can turn it into good for  his Glory.   And he did just that!

I love to write about topics that often don’t get  coverage mostly because they may seem difficult to comprehend.  If you have ever taken a ride to Cedar Point  just outside of Cleveland, Ohio, you know what “G” forces feel like as you ride the various coasters.  These are powerful forces that exist in the natural world that we experience daily.  Gravity in another natural force that we all are very familiar with.   So, even though you can’t see gravity, we know what happens when we drop something out of a 10 story building!  It falls to the ground immediately with  a force which equals its mass times its acceleration.

Just as there are these natural forces, there are also supernatural forces that exist that effect us.  There are 7 key forces that exist in the supernatural realm that will help us in our professional career if we become aware of them. The first “G” force that exists in every human being is the desire to be “great”.  This the the force within us that desires expansion and keeps us growing and wanting to get better.  Even the Bible talks about greatness when it says that those who desire to be great, must serve!

Greatness is the power in every human being that has created this world as we know it.  We look at people who have achieved great wealth, great businessman, great athletes, great stars and great people with admiration and hope.  We want to hang out with these people and we want to learn from them.   There is something inside each and every one of us that desires some form of greatness.

Any person may become great when they use this powerful force.  By the intelligent use and direction of this force, man can develop his own mental faculties. Great men are in connection with a reserve of power that is without limit.  That power comes from God himself and is downloaded into man through faith.  When man becomes aware of this limitless power, he has the power and the working force within him to become great.  Stay tuned for 6 more G forces available in the supernatural.

When you go through life there are peaks and valleys.  Most people want you to see the peaks but most don’t understand how to navigate the valleys.  The key to going through a valley successfully is to understand that the valley has something to offer you that you can’t get anywhere else.  The valley offers you a chance to move beyond yourself and to move towards what God has planned for your life.

On the road to discovering your purpose in life, God sets up divine intersections.  These divine intersections include people, places and experiences (both good and bad) that help shape who you are and what you are supposed to do.  When you are working and living OnPurpose,  you start to see the intersections both in the natural and the supernatural.  You see God’s concepts in your everyday life playing out.  God helps you see that even though bad things can happen, He has intended all to work together for your good, even though it might not seem that way at the time.

The beauty in being able to see the good in the valley is a true advantage indeed.  This is a key “secret” to navigating through the valley.  Most people complain and spend enormous amounts of energy focused in the wrong direction while in the valley.  But when you live OnPurpose, you know that the way through the valley is to keep a positive perspective on what is happening.

When you master the skill to connect everyday life with the supernatural, you begin to see the invisible connections or vision, that God has provided for you.  God provides provisions for you during your time in the valley and these provisions help  you navigate and sustain yourself.  Similarly, you know that you are right where God want’s you to be and that provides peace.

I like to call this God’s bootcamp!  Your time in the valley helps you find your purpose because you learn to rely on God and not on your own abilities.  While your time in the valley isn’t necessarily pleasant, it is critical for your purpose that He has intended you to complete on this earth.
