What are they doing
Where are they going
What if I don’t make it
what are they saying
what did they say about me
What if I never make it
who heard it
why did they do that
what if that happens
what if that doesn’t happen
What if they think that
what if they talk to him or her
What if they believe that
What if i don’t succeed
What if I always fail
What if they see my failures
What I never get there
What about my family 
 
There are so many things that can derail our spiritual walks… but probably the easiest is just simply distraction. 
 
Life is filled with 
Who, what’s why’s how’s and when’s…. 
It can drive you nuts and derail you if you let it!
 
Attention is the fuel to the spiritual life. Daniel Koulendis 
 
 
How many things have you read on social media where people want to argue a point… any point, any topic, any side, any issue… blah blah blah
 
But the point is simply People need Jesus.
 
Maybe your distracted by your goals…
Maybe your distracted by not achieving your goals.
Probably you are distracted by other people and problems.
 
in the Book Barking up the wrong tree… author Eric Barker states that the American culture has increasingly emphasized high expectations and following your dreams… things that when you are young you feel like you can achieve anything… rock star, millionaire, business mogul, movie star…
He goes to state “we are slowly learning that fact - that we won’t. And we are very pissed off”. 
 
Disappointment and distraction are the two biggest spiritual killers…
But what if I told you God judges success by who you are and not what you do. WHO YOU ARE? Are you a man of God? Then you are a success! 
 
3 step plan to be a successful man of God.
  -1  Read and pray everyday
  -2  Pray for someone every day… pray with them.
  -3  Share the gospel every day with someone. 
 
You will quickly be more excited about what God is doing through you than what you can do on your own. You will realize success in Gods eyes is far more important and far more satisfying than success in the eyes of the world. 
 
Research shows us that the superior athletes are 87% introverts… 
NOT THE LOUD BRASH KILLER PERSONALITY 
and are not considered “disciplined” as much as they just stick to the plan. 
 
Most super Christians are not outgoing or super disciplined… they just stick to the plan. Read and Pray, Pray for others and share the gospel. 
 
John G. Lake one of the greatest healing evangelists in the last 100 years… 
Diseases instantly healed
Arms and legs twisted up in knots unwind and people run for the first time
My favorite a woman who was healed and Pastor Lake said “Go get a doctors report stating you are healed to show the skeptic”. She said, well I will but I can’t read… he said “come here”. He laid his hands on her and instantly this woman could read. 
When you read what he calls his daily secret formula it simply this…
Read and Pray every day
Pray for others (for all their needs, physical, financial, mental, emotional etc…) 
and Share the gospel.
HE ASSURED ALL WHO DID THIS YOU WOULD MAXIMIZE YOUR CHRISTIAN WALK.
