QUOTES OF POWER!
“Experience is not what happens to you. It is what
you do with what happens to you. Don’t waste you
pain; use it to help others.”
- Rick Warren, The Purpose Driven Life: What on
Earth am I Here for?
“You were created on PURPOSE for a PURPOSE to
walk in PURPOSE.”
- La’Toyia Jones
Dear Reader,
Have you ever wondered was there more to life then what you were currently experiencing? Have you ever wondered di
anyone in the world feel the same way that you did about your dreams, passions, and goals? I have been receiving calls and emaithat I’m not the only one who has ever felt this way. Many of you have expressed the loneliness that this walk of purpose ha
produced and the many decisions that you have been required to make in effort to continue to move forward on your individu
journey. Many of you have expressed the loss of friends, relationships, jobs and even bad or comfortable habits. Once again I hear yo
saying that you weren’t warned about that part of the process. Honestly, in certain situations neither was I? I didn’t know if m
relationships with people would end on a Monday, Tuesday, or Sunday, but a part of me knew that it was coming and a decisio
needed to be made of faith. It is the decision to believe in what you and I wrote on that vision board a couple of months ago. It is the
decision to follow the passion that you have in the forefront of your mind as you’re reading the title of this newsletter. It is th
decision to pursue your goals no matter who leaves, what fails, or what is presented. I am writing this newsletter not from a place o
arrival, but rather from a place of identification. As we continue on our journey it doesn’t matter if this is step one or fi ve! Make th
decision and remove what is unnecessary and run, chase, and leap even harder into your PURPOSE!
Stepping Out On Faith

Meet Pastor Israel Ford:
Freedom is life! Most people who spend their days and nights at work, w
the kids, or involved in some consuming task always say "I have no l
Because being free, means to them they have a choice. In our spiritual
it's the same thing. Sin is referred to many times as bondage, beca
sometimes we can't stop ourselves, even when we try. So then, Go
solution to sin and the bondage it brings, is Jesus. Jesus is the one w
came that we might have life and life more abundantly, in Freedom.
Here comes the best part. Freedom didn't come, only by knowing the tru
"you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." Some of us
in a place where we can't hear, learn, or understand. Our hearts are h
toward others because of situations. But, God is so good that he crea
another way to be set free, that bypasses the mind and will of man. A
that's through worship.
"Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom". The presence of Godthe place where shackles fall first and are noticed later. "I can't remem
the definite day when I stopped cursing, fighting, stealing, and being so ea
offended." However, I can remember when I became free. The more time
spend with Him, the more we become like Him, FREE.

Living Beyond Your Feelings – Joyce Meyer
Wishing you didn’t feel a certain way isn’t enough to rid yourself of rollercoaster feelings. You have to
learn how to take control of your emotions to release God’s best in your life. Living Beyond Your
Feelings will show you how. ~Adapted from www.joycemeyer.org
Meet Nakia Jones:
God has blessed me (Nakia Jones) with a gift to be the hope for the
hopeless and the voice for those who can't speak. With unforeseen obstacles
in my educational career I continued to live Alive on Purpose. I paid my way
through the Police Academy and was hired as a police officer in 1996 in
the city that I had lived in for part of my life, East Cleveland. In 1999 I left
East Cleveland and went to Highland Hills Police Department.
I did not feel like I was able to be a positive example in Highland Hills
because it was such a small city and I missed the interaction with people who
really needed help like in East Cleveland so I left Highland Hills in 2002 and
was hired on Warrensville Heights Police Department where I am currently
the first and only African American Female Officer. I was hired in by the
honorable Marcia Fudge.
I have watched God use me to be a voice for females as well as males in our
city and I have watched God use me to help bring hope to people who were
at the end of their ropes. The bible says there is no greater love than this
that a man would lay down his life for a friend (John 15:13) and that's
what I do everyday when I put on that uniform – I lay down my life.
God came to me in 2005 and told me he had a greater work for me and
that this work was going to touch the lives of millions. I did not understand it
then but in 2006 I wrote and directed my first gospel play with the direction
of the holy spirit and when this play premiered I saw God change lives. I saw
people cry, laugh, and shout and I even saw the presence of hope and faith
being restored. I saw families who had been torn apart begin to mend, again
it was truly amazing but most of all it changed something in me.
I knew then that I had finally found that greater work that God has called me
to do. Please join me on my journey on October 14 th
& 15 th

P is for PURPOSE
Breaking Up Is Hard To Do!
When God has made us a promise we have to be willing to cut ties with everything and anyonwho God is separating us from to receive it. Take Abraham for example: He was instructed by God to cut ties with his family in order to walk into the Land of Milk and Honey. No one was suppos to go with him but somehow Lot became apart of Abraham's journey. It didn't take long fo Abraham's disobedience to reek havoc, as it became a nuisance for them to continue together. NowI doubt that Abraham was intentional in his disobedience but was rather being "nice" in lettingLot tag along.
We are all guilty of the same thing from time to time. We let people and spirits tag along becauswe are related to them or we don't want to seem mean by declining their presence. There are some people and spirits that we are attached to because of the fellowship we ourselves have had or th fellowship of our predecessors with those spirits. This means we have a relationship, a tie, a bond to things and people that are not God's intention for us in certain seasons. These familiar spiritlend a level of comfort and security especially in a situation such as Abraham's where he wastepping out on God's word into new uncharted territory.
Separating from people we have always hung out with or always had communication with can bhard and seemingly confusing to that person as to what happened to the relationship, but we hav to be willing to do it in order to get what God has for us. It maybe a friend, cousin, or even achurch but know for sure that you have heard the voice of God and keep it moving. Abrahamwasn't mean or rude when him and Lot separated in fact, he pleaded in Genesis 13:8 for there to bno strife between him and Lot or his people and Lots people but to basically understand that thspace wasn't big enough for the both of them.
As we continue to pursue purpose we have to become more familiar with the spirit of God as we arwith kindred spirits of our past. Where you are going is not for everyone and God is not stingyHe's resourceful and mindful not to misplace His blessings for you to others that haven'trightfully earned them.
Today, identify and evaluate the familiar spirits that may not be bad, but bring about a sense ostagnation or comfort and remove yourself from amongst them. If you don't you'll be stuck trying to take back what always belonged to you.
