He threatened to kill me. Said he had a gun.
Do good.
Your reputation for His glory.
What would you be willing to give up for the Glory of God? Would you give up a high paying job? The comforts of living in America to become a Missionary? How about your reputation? Would you be willing to go all out for God to reach a people group that others despise? Paul did, and today we are going to talk about that.

Your mind is like a torpedo | "Let's Get it" Part 6
Learn how your mind works with failures to accomplish your desired results.
People are often confused about the science of success. The reason is that most people don't do true scientific analysis on their own habits to see what's actually causing them the problems in their life. They look for quick fixes or "strategies".
But it's the science that comes with most failures that cause most people to accomplish positive results.
Only scientific analysis of your own habits will truly provide you with success in life. It takes a lot of time and practice, but it can be done by anyone if they're willing to do the work.
What causes most problems is trying to find the silver bullet approach to reaching your goals. It doesn't work that way. You will fail, and have to use the negative feedback to adjust your plans and keep going.
Proverbs 24:16 says
16 for the righteous falls seven times and rises again,
but the wicked stumble in times of calamity.
The implication with that scripture is the righteous rise up again after they fall down. The fact is, as humans we will fall down, over and over again.
And when you fall down, you might not get up again right away, but if you do it means that even when failing is inevitable, your mind will find a way to overcome it.
People who are negative in life tend to say things like "I failed", or "I can't do this." But in most cases they never actually took the time to analyze what's causing them their problems.
To be successful in life, people need to realize that failure is integral in pushing themselves towards success. The reason why people think about failure negatively is because they don't understand how it works scientifically with the brain .
Your brain has something called mirror neurons- which mimic other experiences. When you see or do something, mirror neurons duplicate that experience in your brain. So every time you fail you receive two signals at once- the failure right in front of you, and the mirror neuron connection to all other failures in the past.
Mirror neurons are great for adjusting yourself even when life seems dark, because they create experiences behind negative feedback so that you can adjust your path. The key is knowing how to take advantage of your brain's ability to learn from repetition, so it doesn't learn incorrectly .
People need to realize that success comes with learning what habits are making them successful , and which ones aren't . So if we know we'll be failing repeatedly until we find success – why not make sure we understand exactly how?

Devo Stack Example with Proverbs 9:11
Scripture Stack
Good morning [your name] and welcome to your daily Scripture Stack. Did you stack yesterday?
If no why not?
If yes congratulations. You are building momentum in your spiritual walk.
What scripture are you stacking today?
Why that scripture? What is your current method for choosing your scripture? (Scripture of the day, Today’s Proverb, random, reading plan, etc)
After reading the scripture over a few times what stands out to you? Or what do you notice?
Good. Anything else?
Okay, now go back and read it again. But slow down. After reading it again, spend 3 minutes meditating on Gods Word.

Okay. Now that you have spent time reading the scripture, and have gone back and meditated on the scripture answer the following...

- How does this apply to you? How would following/living this change your life?
- What action can you implement starting today?
- What action are you committing to do by the end of the day?

Take a deep breath and relax.
