CHAPTER 1
Day 1
"See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland." -Isaiah 43:19
A new day is here, and if you want to achieve and receive all your heart's desire, than you need to do the following: 'Trust the outcome, and not the process.'
God is going to give you the desires of your heart, if you don't handcuff Him as to how he will give it to you. His ways are higher than your ways, so trust that he knows what he's doing to bless you. Faith is knowing that you have it, not how you get it. God loves you and has great plans for you this year. Trust in the process and not the outcome. Happy New Day and Happy New You! Remind yourself, "Watch Out! I AM Dangerous!
Make a list of 3 to 5 things you would like to accomplish in 90days. It makes no difference what it is. Losing weight, promotion at work, learning a new language, or buying a new car. Believe it or not, 90 days is more than enough time to accomplish any goal, and it's not a lot of time; which gives each day significant value so you won't waste a day thinking I got tomorrow. Plus, it gives you 30 day bench marks to check your progress. Also, don't worry if you don't accomplish 3-5 things in the 90 days. If you get one done then that's good, and two is great. What you want to do is build a habit of accomplishing things.

Day 2
"And we will receive from him whatever we ask because we obey him and do the things that please him." -1 John 3:22
Beloved, there's only two prerequisites to receive what you want and that's pleasing and obeying God. First, the only way to please God, is by faith in Him. Hebrews 11:6 says, "And without faith it is impossible to please Him." Second, "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another." - John 13:34. These seem to be two simple tasks that would bring heaven on earth for all of us, but we either fail in one, or both of them. If you want God to answer your heart's desire, than you must have faith in Him to deliver; and you must love always, for love is the governing body of God's universe. With love and faith you would, literally, be overwhelmed with blessings from heaven.
Watch Out! I AM Dangerous! Because I am loving and receiving God's blessings today!
Day 3
"Rise up, let us go." -Mark 14:42
When Jesus went up to Gethsemane, to pray, he told his disciples to sit and wait on him. Three times Jesus came back, and three times he found them sleep. The disciples felt bad for failing to perform a simple request, but Jesus wasn't upset. Instead, He told them to "Rise up, let us go." Cause there was more work to be done. There seems to be a voice of hope in this lesson. Just because we have failed in one, or more duties, we must not give up in despair. God knows there are times we will miss the challenges of life, but He loves and believes us enough, to forgive and give us another shot. That's grace. So don't let your past hold you back from the greatness ahead. Mistakes are part of your growth while you are here. If you make a mistake, don't beat yourself up, just "Rise up, and go with God," the next time.
Watch Out! I AM Dangerous! Because I have Risen Up!
Day 4
"And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, who come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight. " -Numbers 13:33
Your conception is your reception. This means, how you see yourself, is how the world receives and treats you.
If you play the 'woe is me, I can't catch a break.' then the world gives you every reason to reinforce your belief. If you believe, no matter the odds, you always catch a break; then life opens up doors others can't see. Don't underestimate yourself, because nobody is going to put a higher value on you, then You!! Know your worth, you are a child of God and the inheritor of His kingdom. See the conqueror, in you, and not the grasshopper. Remember the world will only give to you, what you believe of yourself.
Watch Out! I AM Dangerous! Because I Believe I am Great!
Day 5
"So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor." -1 Peter 5:6
Jesus said it best, "It is not I that does the work, but the Father that is in me." The power of God is in you, but to release His power to work for you, takes faith. This means, trusting Him enough to allow Him to work things out. Not only will He work it out, but He will make you look really good in eyes of those around you. So, do you want to work hard or smart? Hard is trying to do it yourself and getting nowhere. Smart is allowing God to do the heavy lifting. Trust and believe, all things are possible with God.
Watch Out! I AM Dangerous! Because God is working in me!
Day 6
"He shall say: "Hear, Israel: Today you are going into battle against your enemies. Do not be fainthearted or afraid; do not panic or be terrified by them. For the Lord your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory." -Deuteronomy 20:3-4
Everyday you awake, the sun is rising on a battlefield of discouragement, frustration, and fear trying to rule your world. It may come in the form of a horrible boss, rejection letters for employment; threatening notices from creditors, health issues, relationship problems, or the lack of a loving relationship. Make no mistake, these battles are as real for the child of God, as any physical battle, and just as deadly to your spirit as it is your body. But God says, "Do not fear, for I am the one who goes with you to fight for you ... to give you victory." If you can learn to trust in God, who ALWAYS gives us victory, I promise you would never fear anything ever again. "All things work out for the good of those that loves the Lord." Loving the Lord is trusting the Lord. Have faith, today, God has already given you victory.
Watch Out! I AM Dangerous! Because I am Victorious!
Day 7
"Listen to my prayer, O God. Pay attention to my plea ... I will sacrifice a voluntary offering to you; I will praise your name, O LORD, for it is good." -Psalm 54:2
Psalm of David lays out a simple approach to God answering your prayers. First, you pray and tell God what exactly you desire. Second, you thank Him for hearing and answering your prayers. See, God always hears our prayers. 1 John 5:15 says, "and if we know that He hears us, then we know that we have exactly what be asked for." Now, it may take some time for God to put everything together, because He's working through you, but it will come and it will not be late. Pray, praise, and believe.
Right now, say a small prayer to yourself, for something you desire. Then from this point on you just praise God for answering. You keep praising and thanking Him until the prayer is answered. You don't have to ask for it again. He heard you the first time. Offering of praise and thanksgiving is all you need to do. You can use one of your goals here. And get excited like you do when it's a Friday before a major holiday and you just got paid.
Watch Out! I AM Dangerous! Because I know God heard my prayer!
Day 8
"They feast on the abundance of your house; you give them drink from your river of delights." -Psalm 36:8
Your father is a generous God. He's not a get by God, He an abundant and happy giver. In fact, it gives Him pleasure to give you all that you want. Luke 12:22 says, "For it gives your Father great happiness to give you the Kingdom." So don't ask for little, thinking you're doing God a favor, He "is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think." If you have faith, then try it, and see if God doesn't open up the windows of Heaven and pour down blessings; so much that you can't hold them all.
You're going to have to get out of a limited mindset if you ever hope to have all that God has promised you. You can't have million dollar dreams with a 5cents mindset. God can do all things, but He can't make you believe in more than you do now. Stop believing what you see in the media that forecasts doom and gloom. Every day, God is answering a prayer and blessing someone with abundance, because they believe. Understand this: What's true for one is true for all. Start believing in an abundant world, and your world will become abundantly rich for you.
Watch Out! I AM Dangerous! Because I am delighting in God's abundance!
Day 9
"The king had granted him everything he asked, for the hand of the LORD his God was on him." -Ezra 7:6
Ezra a high priest, was favored by the king of Jerusalem, not because the king was related or liked Ezra, but because Ezra had the hand[favor] of God upon him. See, when God's hand is upon you, and it always is, you have unprecedented favor with everyone you come in contact with. People will be compelled to help you, and to do things for you that they normally wouldn't do under any circumstance. The Bible says, "even your enemies will call you blessed." This same favor is with you now, but you must see the hand of God in everything and acknowledge him with thankfulness. Then you'll have favor and victory for the rest of your life.
Gratitude is the fastest way to release God's blessings in your life. Begin, and never stop, thanking God for favor in all areas of your life.
Watch Out! I AM Dangerous! Because I am favored by God!
Day 10
"Jesus stopped and called them. "What do you want me to do for you?" he asked. -Matthew 20:32
Do you know that God asks this question to you every day? The reason you don't hear Him is because you're missing the forest for the tree in front of you. Your problems are God's way of asking you, "What do you want me to do for you." If you could solve your own problems, wouldn't you have done it by now? We can't solve all our problems, by ourselves; not on this level. So we must go to a higher power, but yet and still we won't ask for the grace that's given to us freely. Don't suffer another day, tell God what you want, then believe you've received it, and you will have it.
Tonight, meditate, and without any restrictions, tell God what you want. Then thank him for answering your prayers. Then go to bed as your prayer being an accomplished fact. Meaning it's a done deal, and be overcome with relief and a peace. You don't have to do any more but believe it is done, and in ways you can't comprehend, it will come to pass.
Watch Out! I AM Dangerous! Because I Believe!
Day 11
"I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing." -John 15:5
If you didn't know, you are an extension of God. You are the very branch to the power that created everything. This means you have the power to do any and everything. The reason some of us, may feel powerless, is because we set ourselves apart from God with our negative and self-defeating attitudes. Jesus said, "apart from me you can do nothing." To stay attached to God's power you must have a loving, grateful, and faithful attitude about everything. Then and only then will you start bearing much fruit.
Begin now, having a loving mindset, towards yourself and others. See life as beautiful and vibrant. When a negative thought pops in your head, don't fight it, but replace it with a positive thought. If you're face with a problem, believe that there's a solution revealing itself to you. If you start practicing this, then you'll bear a fruitful life.
Watch Out! I AM Dangerous! Because I am a fruit-bearing being!
Day 12
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." -John 1:1
Before there was even space and time, there was the Word(of God). His word alone created the Heavens, the earth, and You. Nothing ever existed before God said so. The same power, He has, is in you! You can speak and create a successful life, or a life of misery and failure! What are you saying right now? Start speaking positive of yourself. Speak only in terms of love and kindness and your world will respond in-kind.
Watch Out! I AM Dangerous! Because my words are powerful!
Day 13
"Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." - Mark 11:24
There's a term that you might have heard, "Leaving money on the table." Meaning, you have a chance to pick up extra income, without exerting a lot of time and energy to do so, but you choose not to, as a result, "Leaving money on the table." Well, as believers, we leave countless blessings on the table, because we don't believe what we want to receive. We ask for things, and then follow it up with, "But" or "If" With Faith, there are no IFs and Buts, only God's divine results. That's it!! You need a new car or a better job, don't look at your bank account or skill level, ask God, expect it, and He will - 100% of the time!
Watch Out! I AM Dangerous! Because I Believe I Received!
Day 14
"The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; the LORD accepts my prayer." -Psalm 6:9
God hears and accepts all prayers; 'And since we know he hears us when we make our requests, we also know that he will give us what we ask for.' Do not let a situation, in your life, go without first asking God to intervene. Big or small, now and in the future, God accepts all from prayers.
Start now, praying for only good you seek and seek for others. Repetitive words aren't needed, but repetitive "Thanksgiving" is affirmation needed to lead to the conviction you need to see your prayers come to fruition.
Watch Out! I AM Dangerous! Because I God has accepted my Prayer!
Day 15
"No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead," -Philippians 3:13
You can spend months, even years, dealing with past hurts, regrets, and how someone has done you wrong. But if you're going to achieve all that God has set aside for you, then you're going to have to forget the past and let it go. Holding on to pain and regret, is liking to a cancer, it eats away at you slowly and decays your very being. And it accomplishes nothing but an uneventful, unfulfilled, and bitter life. So how do you get over the worst of hurts in your life? Thru prayer and love. Praying to God to take away the pain and disappointments in your life; forgiving and loving those who hurt you the most; loving who you are; and embracing God's infinite love for you.
Today, release the burden, of suffering, you've been living with to God, and in exchange take His joy, and watch as you flourish in his glory.
Watch Out! I Am Dangerous! Because I am free and moving ahead with my life!"
Day 16
"And as for you, ye meant evil against me; but God meant it for good," -Genesis 50:30
You can no more stop the enemy plans to harm you, then you could stop the sun from setting. But God allows the enemy to plan and attack his children, not because he wants harm to come to us, but to demonstrate God's redemptive power. See, 'all things work for the good of those that love the Lord and are called according to his purpose.' We don't like setbacks and disappointments, but they are necessary to build character and to strengthen faith. Every time the enemy plans to set you back, God sets you up for a comeback. So if you are facing a trial, that has the enemies' hands on it, know that God has promised you victory. So persevere, don't lose confidence and you will surely be rewarded.
Watch out! I AM Dangerous! Because God meant it for Good!
