Preparing to Be Stressless

As we approach the holiday season, kids going back to school, and as Summer winds down, our “to-do-list” get longer and it seems as if we never have enough time in the day for all that has to be done. Pondering our finances as we start planning out the season of giving we can start to feel the mental as well as the physical strain that comes along with it. Gas prices getting higher, the cost of food climbing right along with it, and all of the other financial headaches that come along with a slow economy start to weigh on us all like a ton of bricks. Kids needing new school clothes, and shoes, NOT TO MENTION the supplies and dues that come to the fold when we send our most precious gifts off to get the educations that will launch us all into the future – ALL of these things working together at one time. 

Stress is one of the number one killers in todays society. If we are real with ourselves, we can all honestly say that at some point in our lives, various seasons, and phases we all have the sickness. It can creep up like a fog, and overtake us in an isntant – leaving us feeling like we have no answers, lack of hope, and downright depressed – LET”S GET REAL! Stress is very REAL and it cares not if you are “Saved” a “Christian” or not… STRESS IS REAL. 

Over the next few months we are going to look at stress from another angle. We are going to look at from a BIG MIND and we are going to establish a set of strategies that will help us navigate stress in a new way. 

“Don’t try to overcome the mountains in your life. Become the mountain.” 

Remember.. Think Big!

Access 2008: The Prophetic Gathering

We are gearing up for the Access 2008 Prophetic Gathering Seminar on the 10th, which will run through the 14th, which includes the normal worship time for my base Church – Rhema Word International Ministries, Albany Georgia. I am orchestrating this event through the VLP Think Big Inc. label because I strongly feel that a very large component to your transition into thinking big has a lot to do with your relationship with God – and hearing Him is key part to truly unlocking your destiny.

If you are near and or around the Albany, Georgia area – I encourage that you take some time and attend this event. It will surely be an eye opener –

Rethinking Worship: Part 3

In this piece I start to talk about “how” you identify your purpose, which I believe is one of the highest forms of worship that you can give to God. By doing what you are created to do, to be the design that God had on His mind even before you were in your mothers womb – quintessentially is one of the greatest ways to bring pleasure to the heart of God. 

Rethinking Worship: Part 2

In this short video I raise the question of “Doing What You Are DESIGNED To Do” – IS this a form of worship that God looks favorably upon? Is Doing what you are designed to do one of the highest forms of worship that you you can engage in? 

Rethinking Worship…

I have been in ministry over 25 years. And of the mysteries that I have always pondered is the power of worship and Praise. What I am coming to find in my studies, is that worship goes well beyond what we have viewed as worship for many many years. In this video I begin to challenge the though of purpose and destiny – and how they both connect to worship…

Expect MORE!

On Sunday – I was ministering at Rhema Word International Ministries – my home Church, and we were dealing with the idea that God has given us all an guaranteed life – now rather we access this or not is really dependent upon our level of faith, belief systems, and of course a magnitude of other factors that come into play. The topic of this post – Expect MORE, is a translation that I want to extract for the purpose of Marketplace application and what our goal here is which is… Thinking Big.  

I said to my congregation and now I am going to say to you… “What do you expect God to do in your life?” – AND because I am fully aware that this blog is not a “Church” blog – but a “Lean Mean Business Communications Machine”… That’s designed to get you THINKING BIG! I am going to ask you the same question only in this way… 

“What are your expectations of LIFE?” 

What do you want from your life and even deeper than that – what have YOU DONE FOR YOUR LIFE LATELY? Provocative question I know… But let’s open the floor and see where this goes… 

Oh yeah – Only rule is… You have to THINK BIG! 

New Site, Same Mission, New Approach…

It’s been a very “fast moving” and productive few days. I am happy to announce the release of the new Victor L. Powell site – which is in-fact the new home to my Company – VLP Think Big Inc. After a few weeks of working with now the Change Agent Development team at Sapien Harbor – I realized how important it was to unify my brand and bring some consistency to it – so that there would be more balance and structure to the story of VLP Think Big Inc., and how that story was told online. I truly feel that the new site – found at http://www.victorlpowell.com will accomplish this. 

With a growing and expanding Social Network – having what Sapien Harbor calls a “Harbor” (how ironic huh?) I am able to focus more on the “conversation” within these networks vs trying to keep a sigular site up to date and current. Through the Sapien Harbor Development Model – I am able to actively participate within the Social Networks I need to – reaching the people I need to in a seamless kind of a way, all the while the site at http://www.victorlpowell.com is continually evolving. Not only is this approach efficient BUT it saves tons of time in development. 

Has my mission changed? Not at all – in fact it’s coming into greater fruition, because now I can expand what I am doing further and faster than ever before. Being the CEO of VLP Think Big Inc. is more than a title for me. I am actively involved in what happens at VLP, and this experience, the engagement – gives me new insights to the marketplace and it’s needs. I still do my daily processes as it pertains to talking to organization leaders and forging new relationships in the physical sense of things BUT – I am seeing a unique proposition being connected to Social Networks. For a long time I felt that the internet would take away from the intimacy of people, however now what I am seeing is that people are connecting at very profound levels online, so this is all relevant for me. 

I welcome you to swing by the new VictorLPowell.com – you wont find a bunch of pages – but you will get the data that you need – and most importantly you can connect with VLP Think Big Inc. the way you want to, in the Social Network that you are comfortable with. 

Always Remember… Think Big!
