Increasing Motivation!

Turning from earthly sources changes your natural basis for motivation!

So change how you find motivation, or you could struggle to find motivation to do anything!

Motivation normally comes from hope of receiving glory and then praising ourselves for it.

So, rather than pushing to earn the right to praise yourself inside, manage your level of motivation by heart-training that builds your hope of more glory HERE:

 “to the end that we...would be to the praise of His glory (Eph 1:12).

... (Your name) , even though I know that human energy and motivation normally come from finding reasons to give internal praise toward myself, I am still turning away from that! I am setting my heart

to love finding meaning and energy humanly speaking from

1) believing that I CAN always receive more of God here! And,

2) believing that I am exalting God, even with simple activities, because living to the praise of God’s glory has far more value for eternity than being to the praise of my own human glory.

So, I turn my heart to believe I CAN have LOTS more of YOU God! And, I WILL enjoy believing that I am exalting YOU God!

My childlike faith and dependance on God actually makes Him feel pleased (Heb 12:1,6). I WILL enjoy believing it!

This topic is so important I feel I need to clarify what I am saying. Please read it carefully.

Remember that we all fall short of the glory of God. And we deep down, we feel our lack of glory so strongly, that easing our sense of falling short becomes the essence of all motivation.

When we receive glory, we praise it, and then we feel motivation, energy, drive, and courage for facing the challenges of the day.

This all can be applied toward God, but few take it that far.

The prize of inner praise toward our own human glory is NOT what God intended.

A lifetime of growing as a Christian often will change this way of finding motivation.

Or, you can use heart-training to greatly shorten the process. Heart-training that is effective cuts off depending on earthly sources and completely changes what gives motivation for living life with energy and drive.

CAUTION: When your heart-training is effective, it cuts off the possibility of being motivated in the same old way.

You change so much that you really don’t want to find motivation by inner praise toward your own human glory anymore.

Potential Problem = NO MOTIVATION:

So if a person doesn’t keep going with the heart-training, they can stay in a horrible middle place where they have cut off their basis for motivation and they don’t take it far enough to replace it with anything new.

So motivation dies off and they don’t want to do anything.

Don’t let yourself stay there!

Motivation on a practical level comes from

1) Hope of finding glory, and

 2) being able to give praise toward it.

The Bible says, that everything should be “to the end that we...would be to the praise of His glory (Eph 1:12).

So keep going with the heart-training until you learn to enjoy motivation that comes to you that way! Let me explain.

Remember again that when God is being God to you, HE is being your reason for feeling confident, secure, and protected.

And those things we depend on in the natural are always things that are ours and are close to us.

So, “living to the praise of His glory,” means that just by how you live, by your learning to fill your neediness with the presence of God, you know and believe that God is being honored, greatly worshiped, and exalted just because you are depending on Him in a childlike way. Here, you learn to believe and enjoy that even simple

activities while depending on God to freely give you His presence, exalts God in heavenly realms, in such a significant way that your motivation and drive is constantly being refreshed because of it. You are motivated because you know that you are filling the earth with His glory by what you are receiving — even while doing the simple activity.

When you make this shift you will also learn that you have to take responsibility for your level of motivation on an everyday basis.

This means that you keep your faith high by reminding yourself that

hope of more glory is realistic for you personally because more of God is always available to you.

You can ALWAYS receive more, and by that, fill the earth with more of HIS glory.

Keep going with your heart-training so you can make the transition time as short as possible.

Be conscious of the fact that the heart-training is helping you to change from finding earthly glory and praising yourself inside for how much glory you have.

 It is also helping you to change TO receiving the glory of God all around you here and praising His glory that is close.

When praise toward God that way becomes motivational for you, God gets honored for His being God to you and you find a

practical kind of motivation that stays with you all during the day.

And it works even when you are doing things you have to do that are boring because the motivation you are enjoying comes independently of the boring activity you are having to do.

I am convinced that when people learn to motivate themselves with the glory of God, that is when these prophecies will be fulfilled: “They raise their voices, they shout for joy;

They cry out from the west concerning the majesty of the Lord.”

(Isaiah 24:14).

And, “...the nations will bless themselves in Him, And in Him they will glory." (Jer. 4:2).
