2. Where do you focus your
attention?

3. Are you distracted by trauma, living in the
past, or consumed by the pain?

4. The Bible tells us that the direction in which we
focus our attention is the way in which we will go

5. Luke 9:62 – But Jesus said to him, No one,
having put his hand to the plow, and looking
back, is fit for the kingdom of God."

6. Worshiping the
Lord is focusing
our attention on
Him

7. Attention: The action of dealing with or taking
special care of someone or something.

8. There
are times
when we
focus on
what the
devil is
doing

9. We
cannot
take our
eyes off
the pain,
disease,
trauma,
the
doctor's
report

10. Satan wants us to
consider his evil acts more
important than what God
has done for us

11. The devil loves attention

12. When we view his
actions and
behaviors as
meaningless or of
little
consequence, we
can actually
discourage his
advancements.

13. In the gospels, there is an
account of the disciples
caught in a terrible storm

14. Jesus was
asleep in the
boat and
unconcerned

15. He paid no attention to the storm but, for the
disciples sake, took authority over it

16. Jesus is our example: rest or take
authority over storms

17. "You can
only have
authority
over the
storms
you can
sleep in."
(Bill
Johnson)

18. The wicked
hope to
destroy me,
but I focus on
your
instruction. P
salms 119:95
CJV

19. Pay
attention
to Jesus
and not
the devil

20. Keep your hand to
the plow and high
calling of God

21. (Bracket text added)
Phil. 3:12-14 (Passion Translation) I admit that I haven't yet
acquired the absolute fullness that I'm pursuing, but I run with
passion into His abundance so that I may reach the destiny
which Jesus Christ has called me to fulfill and wants me to
discover. I do not depend on my own strength to accomplish
this, however, I do have one compelling focus: I forget all of the
past (demons love your past) as I fasten my heart to the future
instead. I run straight for the divine invitation of reaching the
heavenly goal and gaining the victory-prize through the anointing
of Jesus!
