Overflow with Craig Booker

Note: A lot of the material is inspired by Craig Groeschel's book. Each week, I take concepts from Pastor Craig Groeschel's book, The Power To Change, and apply them to brain health.

“When you’re winning, you’re winning. When you’re losing, you’re learning.”1 Craig Groeschel

We must remember to keep moving forward.

“As you continue walking, you’ll find that you are moving out of your past and into your future.”1 Craig Groeschel

Remember

• You are walking into your future, into the who you want to be.
• You are walking away from the sin or self-destructive behavior you want to leave behind
• You are walking toward the new habits and new life you’ve wanted for so long.

“As we’ve learned, it takes time to get to what you want most.”

What you want now almost always has an immediate payoff.1

• That cookie tastes good now.
• Sexual sin feels good now.

“The desires of the flesh have an immediate payoff. But what you want most almost always takes time.”1

“You can have it! But not now. You walk there, with the Spirit, while depending on God, moment by moment. It will take time, but it will be worth it. You may miss out on some short-term fleeting satisfaction, but you will realize you chose the greater reward. You chose what you want most over what you want now.”1

I know the first step I need to take in stopping an old habit is:

The one change I believe God is calling me to make- in his power, not my own_-is:

Principle

“When you’re winning, you’re winning.

When you’re losing, you’re learning.”1

“And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him. Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.” Colossians 2:6-7 NLT
