Have You Heard of Neal Jeffrey?

Do you have major lids on your life - something that keeps you from being all God intended you to be? Tonight I heard a former major league football player and current pastor speak, Neal Jeffrey. He has one major lid in his life - stuttering. Even as he spoke tonight for 1 hour, there were times when he stuttered, paused and waited patiently for the words to come. He was dynamic. He made a powerful impact in my life. How did he overcome this lid?
3 Ways to Overcome Your Lid
Hear it - People throughout Jeffrey's life said, "You can do it. Your speech impairment can't stop you, only your desire can stop you. Try it. Go for it."

Got it - When people spoke positive words into his life, he understood what they were saying. He believed it.

Saw it - He watched Joe Namoth as a young boy and knew that is exactly what he wanted to be. He also saw his father live a godly life, and decided that was the road for him.

What are your lids? If Jeffrey can speak around the country to thousands of people with a stuttering problem, what is holding you back from being all God wants? We have no excuse.

What are you hearing? There are way too many negative people in this world. Surround yourself with honest, encouraging people.

What is God's plan for your life? Can you see it? Have you got it? Remove the lids and go for it!

Also, be the one who pours positive, encouraging words in the lives of others. Live a life that reflects Christ, so they can get a vision of the very best person to be!
