Today I want to talk to you men about putting things in order… A season of constant negative stress Is a sign that Something Is Out Of Order… It doesn’t mean it's all your fault or that you are the one to fix it fully, but it is an indication that something is out of order. And just like a flashing warning sign on the dashboard of your car, to ignore it or cover it is foolish. At some point, you have to do what is necessary to deal with it and get it fixed.

And Until You Stop Rationalizing, You'll Never Win In Life… This podcast is about encouraging and equipping men to win in life. We weren’t called to lose. It's in our DNA to win and to obtain the victory that is rightfully ours.

I need to address this today and share some things in hopes that God made grab your attention and wake you up.

It takes a lot to get a man’s attention when disengaged or distracted. You see it all through the bible God is trying to get man’s attention and having to go to great lengths to do so…

If You Do Not Like What You See In Your Life, You Are Responsible for changing what you can... It begins with you…

It’s Your Decision Decide Your Pain, Your Favor, Your Life… You can’t continue to blame outside circumstances… It begins with you and I making hard decisions to turn our lives around and to put things back in order when they are not…

In order to put things back in order, 3 things need to happen before you even start…

1. You MUST Want To Change.

2. You Must Be WILLING To Change.

3. You Must be willing to PAY THE PRICE To Change.Men search your life for those things out of order…

Where do you begin? At the top…

Your relationship with God.Next… if you married, your relationship with your spouse…Next… Your character and who are becoming…Next… the calls on your life… father, brother, employee, employer, part of the body of Christ, giver, etc….Ps. 141:5Let the righteous smite me in lovingkindness and reprove me; it is oil upon my head; let not my head refuse it. For still my prayer is against their evil deeds…

Prov. 9:8-9Do not reprove a scoffer lest he hates you… Reprove a wise man, and he will love you…

God wants to develop all of us. He will reprove, correct and prune in order that we bear more fruit. Just when I thought the pruning season of my life was over, I must go another round.

I want to close by sharing this…
