Confidence

You’ll always do too much of something to heal the pain of unleashed potential. Until you identify what that “too much” is, you’ll continue to be stuck where you are.  So, I’m in pain. I’m looking up to God and
saying, “God, what’s stopping me?” That day I heard a voice that said, “Keith! Do you really want to know?”  When God speaks to you like that, you know something’s wrong. Now, that question’s all messed up! I asked God a question and He asked me a question back. That question did two things. One, it implied I probably didn’t really want to know. And, I probably really didn’t know. So, if you don’t know, you just don’t know. So, what do you do? You keep doing the same old thing over and over and you hope, you wish, you pray…

And, that’s the way we are in church. We don’t know. Things aren’t working and we don’t’ know… So, I did the typical stuff we say to do in church. If you need a breakthrough you need to fast and pray. I fasted so much but nothing changed. I wondered if there was secret sin in my life. So, I repented over everything and asked forgiveness for everything. I read the Bible. Nothing was changing. I got relief but I wasn’t getting changed. Finally, what God said to me was something I’d never heard before. “Do you really want to know?” I said, “Yes, God. I really want to know.” What He said to me that day changed my life. As a matter of fact, it changed my life so much that in the next three years in a row, our income doubled every single year. It changed so much that I went from writing no books to writing a best selling
book called “The Confident Solution”.  Our life changed so much that I got out of my mother-in-law’s house and moved into the house of our dreams and started driving the cars of our dreams, and we became completely debt free. One word from God can change your life. Do you want to know what He said to me? It’s going to change your life. He said, “Keith, you lack confidence.”
