Dash with Carol Dixon

Do you want to know the main key to a best life .... having integrity? Integrity is being honest and having strong moral and ethical convictions and making the best decisions in every situation. For example, when faced with a challenge or obstacle, what does your character - your integrity reveal about you? Do you use your integrity when no one is watching you, or is it an afterthought? Are you the type of person who will go against the grain with your integrity intact or go with the flow out of convenience? Today on Dash Podcast, Dr. Dixon teaches, the best ways to maintain your integrity.

God wants the best for your life, and that includes the people you associate with for example, if you connect with people who gossip, lie, manipulate, and have character flaws you'll end up seeing their way of life rub off on you. On the other hand, if you associate with people who are pursuing and following after the things of God, you will see an increase in your life exponentially. So remember, who you connect with determines the outcome of your future, thus, you should choose your associates wisely.

You have to decide what's going to be your ultimate authority in life. It really boils down to this choice: God's Word or the world. The best decisions are based on what God says. If you base your life on God's Word, the truth never changes and is always the best. Truth is always true, transforming your life from Good to Better, to Best.

Don't waste your life. Don't settle for the good decisions, step up to the best decisions. Don't go through life just existing. You were not created to just coast. God made you for a mission and a purpose. That starts by asking yourself, "Are my decisions causing me to coast in life, or are my decisions filled with making the best use of my life?" So, when you need to make the best decision, the first and ideal test is this: "Is my decision in harmony with God's Word?"

Are you rearranging your life around things that will not help you towards God's best for your life? For example, are you caught up in the lives of factitious characters on soap operas, reality TV or situations of the lives of friends on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram? The question isn't whether these things are bad but the question is whether these things propel you toward the future God has for you. On today's podcast, Dr. Dixon starts a thought-provoking series on deciding what's best not just what's good.

Can you name the top three or four values in your life? Dr. Dixon explains in this podcast, how if you don't decide what's important in your life, other people are going to decide for you, and you're going to live your life by their values, not yours. You've got to decide what's most important to you!

Stop, Look, & Listen

The mind is the battlefield and indecision and uncertainty are just results of losing battles, which can cause you to think there's something wrong with you. But the truth is, your mind just needs to be disciplined.

When you really look at things, there is only 2 roads we can take in life- The road that leads to life or the road that leads to destruction. God shows us the benefits and the consequences to our decisions; and then allows us to decide. It's like road signs-They are given to us so that we will know the law and what potential dangers are ahead. You have to decide whether or not you will heed to the signs.

There's no way to predict when or where a miracle might occur. Jesus could have stayed in Capernaum, or he could have gone to the north, east, south or west. For some reason, he went to Nain, crossed paths with a funeral procession and was prompted to perform a miracle. If he had gone somewhere else or arrived an hour earlier or later, this miracle would have never taken place. Miracles occur when you least expect them. So I challenge everyone who is listening to Dash with Dr. Dixon to open your spiritual eyes and watch God do miracles that will blow your natural mind and take you on the journey of your life. I can tell you from experience... there is never a boring day with God. He is a Father that loves to give His children good gifts.

Miracles happen all the time. Things happen that are beyond human ability and human understanding. For example, miraculous healing, miraculous birth, the miraculous partnership between God and us, miraculously avoiding something, miraculous spiritual connection, miraculous change in relationships, miracles are all over. But how can you have eyes to see, ears to hear, the heart to feel, and maybe even the voice to speak what God is doing beyond your ability and beyond your understanding? Because it's not beyond God!

Lots of people believe in God, but they do not believe God. There is a BIG difference. Believing God means you take Him at His word, regardless of the circumstances...or the delays...or what your feelings tell you is true. In this 2 part MESSAGE series, you'll discover that when you really start to believe God, then you need to get ready for miracles. Jesus said, "Be it done to you according to your faith" (Matthew 9:29 KJV).

Rather than loving the things of this world (1 John 2:15-16 KJV), Christians should spend their lives glorifying God in everything they do (1 Corinthians 10:31 KJV). It requires faith to live this way because we cannot see, hear, or touch anything spiritual. When we base our lives on the truth of God's Word, rather than on the popular philosophy of our day, we are going against our natural inclinations. For example, Our natural instincts may be to horde money, but walking by faith says we should "give to those in need" (Luke 11:41; Ephesians 4:28 KJV). Society may say that sexual immorality is acceptable, but those who walk by faith base their standards on the unchangeable nature of God's Word, which says any sex outside of marriage is sin (1 Corinthians 6:18; Ephesians 5:3; Galatians 5:19 KJV). To walk by faith requires that we tune our hearts to the voice of the Holy Spirit and the truth of His Word (John 10:27; 16:13 KJV). We choose to live according to what God reveals to us, rather than trusting our own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV).
