On February 1, 2010, Dr. Joseph Peck officially launched his 30 Days To Breakthroughjourney for his friends and followers. This journey is about experiening God in extraordinary ways for extraordinary fruit by learning to be a godly steward with your TIME, TALENT, TREASURE, and TEMPLE.

I chose to sign up for that journey.

Each daily email from Dr. Peck is short and contains these 5 things:
1) One inspirational quote
2) One lesson
3) One question to reflect upon and answer in your journal
4) One link to a valuable resource
5) One short prayer

Dr. Peck gives you one daily to ask the Lord and then journal about that. Here are the answers the Lord gave me to the first 11 questions. BE blessed.

Day 1

Lord, what time wasters can I start eliminating today to redeem my time?

Lord, help me to see what it is you want me to do, so I can be more productive for you and not waste the time you have given me.

David I want you to limit your time watching television to 2 hours each night, and before you watch television I want you write in your blog. I also want you to talk to me before you take on anymore responsibility at Church or with the United Methodist Men’s fellowship, this is at all levels. David, I want you to be the most productive for my kingdom and be an influence for all the men I send your way. Be open to My spirit so you can have my heart and my eyes. I want you to see what I see and I want your heart to desire what I desire. The only way you can do this, is by trusting in Me and relying on Me to provide what you need. Remember, I love you and I will provide all you need.

Thank you Jesus and I will need you to help me so I can become all you want me to become. Jesus help my faith to grow and become as strong as yours was when you walk the earth in human form. I love you.

Day 2

Lord, what one simple action step can I take to slow down the pace of my life?

David, I want you to make sure that when you take on a job or role in the church or community, that you ask me about taking on that responsibility. I will let you know if this is from me. Now when I give you an assignment I want you to complete it with all the gifts that I have given you. When I send somepne your way, make sure you give them all the time they need to become my child so they will know how much I love them. The main thing I want from you David is for you to come to me for your assignments. I will never give you something to do that will not be in alignment with your gifts I have given you. So, slow down and come to me before you accept any assignments and I will lead you into your destiny with me and give you a ministry that only you can fulfill with and through me. I love you David.

Lord Jesus, thank you for loving me and giving me your word and I need your help to complete that which you have given me.

Day 3

LORD, what simple daily habit can I establish that will bear much eternal fruit?

David, I want you to spend more time with me in the morning. I need to be with you in an intimate way. I want you to continue to do your daily devotion as you are now doing, but I now want you to spend at least 10 minutes with me in quiet meditation, just listening to my voice. If you make this a habit I will reveal everything you need to know for your ministry. I will send to you men who are hurting so you can help them see me as a loving Father they have never known. So, start this habit in the morning, then we will start a journey that will change your life. I live you with an everlasting love and I desire to have an intimate relationship with you.

Father, thank you for this opportunity of spending this time with you and help me to be faithful in this habit of alone quiet time with you. I love Father and thank you Jesus for being my friend, savior and God.

Day 4

Lord, how much quiet time do you want me to spend with you each day praying and reading the Bible?

David, you are already spending about 30 minutes with me in the morning and I now want you to be still in my presence for at least 10 minutes each morning so you can hear my voice. So, I would like to spend more time with you in the mornings. I will leave the decision to you how much more time you want to spend with me. I love you my son, give me all of you so I can give you all that I have set aside to bestow upon you. Remember my word says in Psalm 46:10: Be still and know that I am God. I love you.

Father, what a privilege it is that you the creator of the universe wants to spend time with me. I will start the habit of getting out of bed 30 minutes earlier so we can spend at least an hour together each morning. Father, I need your help to start this habit and I want You to be the highest priority in my life. Help me to accomplish this, in your name I pray this prayer.

Day 5

Lord, what are reasonable goals for me to set and achieve in 30 days, 3 months, and one year from now?

David, I want you to first of all Rest in My Spirit every morning, like I told you get up early and seek me and rest in me. I will over time give you all you need to accomplish the ministry I have already given you. In your relationship with Karen, I want you all to spend more time together getting healthier. I want you to walk with her at least 3 days a week for one hour. This will create a bond for you two that will last for the ages. Then in the evening before you go to bed I want you to write something in your journal about the day, then I want you to read your journal at the end of each month. Do this and you will see increase in all you do. I will see to it. I love you my son, now go and be my disciple as I have called you to be.

Thank you father, and Jesus I love you will all my heart, thank you for being my friend, savior and King. Amazing!!!!

Day 6

Lord, what can I do to help ensure that I journal every day? How much time should I set aside to journal each day? What time of the day should I journal?

Lord I will set aside one hour in the evening to journal what you have given to me today and how you have revealed yourself to me that day, and any miracles you have allowed me to witness that day. I will also put down any revelations you have given me from your word.

And who is to hold me accountable?

My lovely wife Karen. Father give her the wisdom to keep me on track and to continue this journey with you.

Now, father, help me to stay on this plan until you change it or give me another assignment?

Day 7

Lord, how will journaling help me be leave a great legacy?

David, this is the only way your family (wife and children and grandchildren) and my family (the church) will know what I gave you. The ministry I am giving and will give to you. This is also the only my anyone will know how you have affected all the people I have sent to you and how much you have influenced them for me. So write it down, make it plain, this way all will see how much I love you and how much I want to love them.

Thank you Father for all you do for me and may I always put you first in my life. Lord I pray that you will keep me humble and that I will always keep my eyes upon you, my Master, my King and my God!!!

Day 8

Lord, what action step can I take this week to BE outstanding?

My son, I want you to read the book Outstanding by John Miller and start applying the principles he outlines in this book. Because I gave him these principles and the message he writes about is from Me. David you are on the verge of something wonderful, stay strong, stay determined and stay in My Word and continue to talk to me every morning. Then you will be the example I need you to be for everyone I bring to you for you to minister to. I love you my son, keep fighting the good fight, with the faith I have given you.

Thank you Father and may all my actions be it word or deed glorify you.

Day 9

Lord, what simple things can I do to SIMPLIFY my life?
What is the ONE THING you want me to FOCUS on?

David, I want you to stop worrying about how you are to serve me. I want you to Seek me with all your heart, then I will give you the areas I want you to serve. I want you to seek me above all things in this world and put me first in your life. I want you to seek me in the morning and then live your life like your are my son, which you are. Doing this David, you will simplify your life as I will guide you into all the areas for you to serve me. You know the ministry of serving men and helping them to become spiritual fathers is your primary mission. Just don’t worry or fear what the serving of these men will look like. I will take care of all that. You just seek me daily in a way you have not sought me before. I love you and want you to give me everything in your life.

Thank you Father for loving me so much and Jesus thank you for being my Savior, Friend and King.

Day10

Thank you Father for your faithfulness to me, even though I sometimes are not as faithful as I should be to you and my promises to you. Forgive me and help me to see the opportunties you give me and not look at anything I do for you as an obligation.

Here is the life purpose statement he gave me to write down: My purpose is to passionately pursue my Heavenly Father, to become the servant leader as modeled by my Savior Jesus. By this men’s hearts will be transformed, which will produce spiritual fathers.
