S - Stand

 Before God
 With Each Other
 Before the Man of God
Can you imagine what it is like to STAND after bending over and
cowering down all of your life; using muscles you never used before;
looking from a perspective you’ve never seen before?
Dare to take a STAND!!!
H – Humility

 The quality of being modest, meek or respectful
 Humility doesn’t mean that we self denigrate
 Humility is the balance between denigration and put
your hand on your hip and let your back bone slip
A - Ask

You lust, and have not; you kill, and desire to have, and cannot
obtain: you fight and war, yet you have not, because you ask not.
And even when you
ask, you don't get it
because your motives
are all wrong--you
want only what will
give you pleasure.
- -James 4:2-3
P – Persuasion

Each of us is born with the power of influence.
You are the salt of the earth…You are the light of the world… let your light
shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory
to your Father who is in heaven.
-- Matthew 5:13-16
E – Expecation

In order to shaped destiny and impact the world we must expect
change.
