Personal Turnaround - Joe Joe Dawson
INTRODUCTION
I believe that it is God’s desire to get His people ready for what He wants to do in the earth. The church, America and the nations of the earth need a turnaround. But first, God must do a turnaround in our lives personally.
In life and in ministry, I encounter so many people who have an immeasurable amount of potential to do great things with their lives and for God. However, unfortunately, many people never reach their full potential because they need a personal turnaround! Here is the hard truth, my friends, you are the way you are because you are the way you are. But the good news is that God can take anyone or anything and turn it all around!
People often ask me, Joe Joe, what do you do for a living?
My answer is always the same, I help move people forward.
My hope is that after you read this book you will walk away with 13keys to personal turnaround. I truly believe that if we would each take these keys and use them in our lives, there is no limit to what we could do. There is no limit to God, so there should be no limit to you. God has a breathtaking calling for our lives, but it is our responsibility to steward every talent, ability, and opportunity He has given us.
Often, we look at our lives and want to blame others, our past experiences or failures and say, If only this or that would have been different then I could have done this or that.
This is the wrong mindset! Excuses will keep you stuck in the same spot for years. It is time to lose all the excuses and have a personal turnaround! If you will take these keys and activate them in your life, you will live a life full of purpose and destiny. Personal turnaround is possible and I want to help you get there!
CHAPTER 1
PRAYER
If you know me, you know that I will find any excuse to go to or host a prayer meeting. I love prayer! When I was younger and first starting out in ministry, I was praying in the sanctuary of the church where I was on staff at that time. As I was seeking the Lord, I asked Him to give me a life verse. I wanted a verse that I could use to help define and shape my life. The Lord immediately spoke to me so clearly, Mark 1:35.
Off the top of my head, I didn’t know what Mark 1:35 said. So, I opened my Bible and read, Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed.
This verse has marked me and the rest of my life since.
Jesus got up very early each morning and found a place where He could spend time with the Father. If Jesus did this, then we need to do the same thing! Jesus understood the power of prayer before the day got started. Jesus Christ, the Chief Apostle of the Church, knew that He would have His disciples and others pulling on His wisdom and time. This is why Jesus knew that He needed to start His day with the foundation of prayer. Numerous times throughout the Scripture, we see Jesus staying up late at night or getting up really early in the morning to spend time with His Father. Our relationship with God, through prayer, is the foundation of everything we do. We have to maintain a fresh, current relationship with the Lord at all times!
The first key is to turnaround your prayer life. If we are looking for a personal turnaround or a breakthrough, then each morning we should be spending time with God. I have heard many people say, If you own your morning, you own your day.
But I want to propose that if God owns your morning, God will own your day! If all of your mornings look like hitting the snooze button over and over, rushing to get yourself and your family ready for the day and running out of the door, you will not experience personal turnaround. Your time of prayer in the morning will set you up for a successful day, and if you will do it consistently, then you will have a successful life. Personal revival and breakthrough happens first in the place of prayer.
Leonard Ravenhill says, No man is greater than his prayer life.
You are no greater than your prayer life. So, how great is your prayer life? Those that I run closely with, I can tell if they
