Dont poison your future with the pain of the past!
Here are a few things that are barriers to success. By -Jerry Dean-
Obstacle 1. An unteachable Spirit.
There are two sources of Knowledge.
a. Wisdom- learning from the mistakes of others.
b. Experience- learning from your own mistakes.
Obstacle 2. Unpaid vows (ecclesiastes5:4-5)
Obstacle 3. Unforgiven offences (mark 11:25)
Dont poison your future with the pain of the past!
Forgiveness is releasing to God the right to judge and penalize another for personal wrong.
Obstacle 4. Unwise associations (proverbs 13:20)
whoever it is that cannot increase you will eventually decrease you.
Obstacle 5. unbridled tounge (proverbs 18:6-8, 21, Matthew 12:37)
Obstacle 6. Undeveloped gifts and abilities (Romans 12:6)
obstacle 7. Uncommitted heart (James 1:8)

Legend has it that a man was lost in the desert, just dying for a drink of water. He stumbled upon an old shack - A ramshackled, windowless, roofless, weatherbeaten old shack. He looked about this place and found a little shade from the heat of the desert sun. As he glanced around he saw a pump about fifteen feet away- an old, rusty water pump. He stumbled over to it, grabbed the handle, and began to pump up and down, up and down. Nothing came out.
Disappointed, he staggered back. He noticed off to the side an old jug. He looked at it, wiped away the dirt and dust, and read a message that said, "You have to prime the pump with all the water in this jug, my friend. P.S..: Be sure you fill the jug again before you leave."
He popped the cork out of the jug and sure enough, it was almost full of water! Suddenly, he was faced with a decision. If he drank the water he could live. Ah, but if he poured all the water in the old rusty pump, maybe it would yield fresh, cool water from down deep in the well, all the wanted he wanted.
He studied the possibility of both options. What should he do, pour it into the old pump and take a chance on fresh, cool water or drink what was in the old jug and ignore its message? Should he waste all the water on the hopes of those flimsy instructions written, no telling how long ago?
Reluctantly he poured all the water into the pump. Then he grabbed the handle and began to pump, squeak, squeak, squeak. Still nothing came out!
Squeak, squeak, squeak. A little bit began to dribble out, then a small stream, and finally it gushed! To his relief fresh cool water poured out of the rusty pump. Eagerly, he filled the jug and drank from it. He filled it another time and once again drank its refreshing contents.
Then he filled the jug for the next traveler. He filled it to the top, popped the cork back on, and added this little note: " Believe me, it really works. you have to give it all away before you can get anything back." - Charles R. Swindoll, Living above the level of mediocrity

The Holy Spirit will give to the praying saint the brightness of an immortal hope, the music of a deathless song, in His baptism and communion with the heart, He will give sweeter and more enlarged visions of heaven until the taste for other things will pall, and other visions will grow dim and distant. He will put notes of other worlds in human hearts until all earth’s music is discord and songless.—Rev. E. M. Bounds
