You Must Free Your Power for it to Work

“Though He slay me, yet will I trust…” –Job

Tyler Perry plays and Sylvester Stallone was turned down and insulted close to a dozen times by Hollywood, before “Rocky” received the green light to become the highest grossest low budgeted film of its time, which went on to win film Awards and made future stars. What was the secret to its success? Being the underdog. Both were the writer, star and character.

What made Perry and Stallone not become depressed and give up? It was their hunger for telling their story to whoever would listen. These two stubborn Christian warriors were focused like a horse with blinders, and the only thing that pushed them to live, was their story. That story was their oxygen, food and energy. Both went without income or real work, due to their drive for staying focused on their goal. Good living conditions and comfortable accommodations were not in their vocabulary at the time. They absolutely wasn’t pursuing fame and fortune, because they rejected changing their stories, and not sell it to the highest bidder, or design a script to fit Hollywood standards. Both are saved!

How did they know it would come true for them? Was it faith, or persistence, or determination? Did they see something great within themselves? Some of those things played a role, but actually, that story which they owned, was the only thing that they were ever good at telling. They had no other ideas or skills they knew how to perform better. Some people are only better at one particular thing, which they are hungry for pursuing.

Sylvester and Tyler are not the best directors or writers, but they are the only ones who can play the character to tell their stories, which no other person could do. Nobody can play Rocky like Stallone, just as nobody can perform Medea like Perry. The best person to tell the story usually is the one who already lived it. These two warriors were already living their story, which they witnessed in real life, through real people whom they knew.

This is a method Jacob our forefather performed in the Bible, from the book of Genesis. He gave away his time to serve his uncle, in order to gain his uncle’s daughter and favor.
Tyler and Sylvester gave away their best stories to us, and they reaped what they sow.

I see why the Scripture said, “it is better to give than receive…give unto others and it shall be given unto you…pressed down, shaking together and running over.” Don’t count on people for your success, income, hope or outcome. You must give it away to people, so they can evaluate; such as providing a first time sample demonstration hair duo, repair, one-month apartment, partial remodeled house, favor, etc. Don’t beg or ask. Just offer. People, even you and myself are observers of demonstrations, curious creatures of handling before we buy. That’s why stores allow you to sample before you purchase, like with car dealerships, especially. But they should allow you to take it home for a few days, which some dealers do, except they fear theft, insurance and other factors. But GM would get out of a jam if they risked the effort. Most people return after demonstrations, when you offer a one-month warranty fee, which allows them to have one service once a week. You don’t lose clients to competitors and they don’t lose with a warranty. It’s a win-win!
