action points for you to take. They're going to help you to

eventually create your promise life plan. They help you move

from wherever you're at right now, to go promise life a peace,

prosperity, and purpose. Eyes on the prize. I can't help but

think right now about what's going on in Ukraine with

President Zelensky. And all the situation there in that part of

the world where the Russians are attacking it just a horrible,

horrible scene. But I'm so inspired by President Zelensky.

And the people of Ukraine who have resolutely set their eyes

on their prize, which is going to be freedom, and in their

world and not to be oppressed by by Putin. And then impressive,

it is to me, I also can't help but think about my own

experiences in Russia. I've been to Russia on a couple of

occasions. One of those times was in 1990. This is prior to

the fall of communism. So this is kind of this is when it was

the Soviet Union. And what I want to share with you was my

own eyes on the prize moment, I was with a group of I was adult

leader, a pastor leading a group of young people from all around

teenagers, high school students from around the Midwest, to go

to visit with schools and churches in Russia Soviet Union.

On a mission is called bridges of peace. And we among the

things we did, and this was the communist era, then was to take

Bibles with us, you're allowed to take one Bible, but we chose

to basically smuggle in our luggage. Hundreds of Bibles, the

30 of us probably had 500 Bibles, which between us, many

of them Russian language to share. It was illegal at the

time. We knew going into this was a group of teenagers and

adult leaders, five or six adult leaders we knew going in on the

train from Finland to Russia, that we could be stopped and

turned back. And one of the scariest and most intense

moments of my life was being on the train station at the border

between Finland and Soviet Union, Russia, where the Russian

military guards got onto the train we were at. And with a

click off rivals and everything and military garb, and they just

like you're seeing in the news right right now. And they came

into the train, we heard the higher doors clanging back and

forth of this train that we were on. It was like a Doctor

Zhivago. Everybody. Some of you remember that movie, Snow was

flying. And it was weird. It was eerie. It was scary. And to see

the soldiers come in to our compartments, and I was a

problem with three teenage boys, just a small compartment. And

they came in and they didn't eat, they did search all of our

luggage. And we all had the Bibles are right there. But we

were overlooked. We're led to go on. And here's the thing. We

made a decision as a group, before we even left on the

airplane to go to Russia, that we were going to follow through

with this clearing Bibles in the Russia no matter what we

resolved, we were going to do it no matter what the consequences.

I was so proud of those young people. Everybody was there. And

because we did it, didn't we? I share it on another occasion

what happened when we're able to distribute some of those Bibles

to people. That was my little story about some good things

that happened even amidst some persecution, because there was a

threat right there. And I can't tell you how impressed I am by

the people of Ukraine, standing up to the threat, literally the

bombs fall on their heads of Putin truly supported. Why?

Because they have complete resolution to carry through in

your life. You have to set your eyes on your prize. We talked

yesterday in our first day about

having a haven't been just kind of frustrated with our present

state and needing to move on. But now you got to get on with

it. You got to take the first steps and you got to go on

towards what the prize is in your life with that promised

life of peace, prosperity and peace Purpose, you can do it. I

know you can. But you got to be motivated, you got to make it a

gut wrenching thing. You got to get serious about it. So I'm

that's my points to ponder is to get serious and get going and

make it such a powerful emotional deal with you that you

can't do anything else in the Bible that were the seeds we

call lint, which run right now, among the things it's about the

journey on to Jerusalem where Jesus was crucified. And there's

a story that says when Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem, it says

that he was persecuted. And there is other people who were

rumors that people want to rescue him and things like this.

But he says there it's in Luke 956. Jesus says, even though

that he knew the time was near for him to be go to heaven, to

be killed, to die, and to go to heaven. He says, it says that he

resolutely set his eye towards Jerusalem. He resolutely did. He

was resolute in that, which means he was determined he was

going to do it no matter what. So my encouragement to you

today, and the point to ponder is that you got to have no

matter what attitude we're going to get this done no matter what,

whatever your life change thing is, losing weight, getting your

emotional life together, get your marriage together, and

getting off of drugs or alcohol, getting your spiritual act

together, whatever it is, maybe it's a relationship, deal,

financial, there's all kinds of stuff going on health, all kinds

of things, maybe you got people maybe you're involved with for

birth, and the sense of, you know, people in Ukraine,

whatever it is, hey, but you got to be resolved to get after it.

Don't you think people right now and the whole world order coming

together and resolving to help Ukraine, because they've seen

the threat, they've seen the persecution, I just want to

encourage you to do that for yourself to get serious. And to

do these two things. Remember to get out your journal, write down

a couple of things. These are your action points today. Here's

the thing I want you to write down. What is breaking your

heart right now? What is truly breaking your heart, I mean,

breaking your heart to the point of emotional pain, because

that's what's going to take it's going to take some emotional

pain in order for you to be resolute to move forward. And

then and that then the second part of this is, what are you so

connected to what are you so involved with, you're willing to

sacrifice for it? By sacrifice, I mean, even you know, to die

for that. I mean, to just do your do whatever it takes and

write it down? What breaks your heart? And what were you going

to do no matter what, because you have to ramp up those type

of things, you have to ramp up that feeling that gut level

stuff to get serious in your life to have true change to take

place. Especially if you're going to do it on a 40 day

timeframe. That's what this is all about about ramping up

everything in our life, expanding it magnified. And in

order for profound life change to take place. You can do it. I

know you can. This whole podcast, his whole thing I'm

sharing here today is, is about how to transform in just 40 days

to get you on track. And by the time we're done, you're going to

have a document in hand. It's called a promise life plan.

That's going to help you then to work this out. So I invite you

to do that. My name is Dr. Brad Miller. You can find me my
