Consider the past. A time when we were prosperous and growing?

Consider the past, when God added to the church daily, such as needed to be saved.

Consider the past, when many were healed and redeemed, many were set free from captivity, oppression and delivered.

Consider the past, when, where there was a problem, we all met it head on and it was overcome.

The Lord says consider it.

Consider the Present. The European Union is getting Stronger.

Consider the Present. Gay Marriage, Gay priest, Women Deacons.

Consider the Present. Uzbekistan Christians Detained and Tortured for Their Faith.

Consider the Present. Council members in a South Carolina town can no longer mention the name of Jesus Christ or another specific deity in their prayers during meetings.

Consider the Present. A massive, international “gay pride” event previously held in Rome, at the doorstep of the Vatican, has chosen Jerusalem as its next venue.

Consider the Present. More than a third of Church of Scotland ministers do not believe in the virgin birth of Christ.

The Lord says consider it.

The Lord says consider this;
Hag 2:11-18, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying, If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No. Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean.

Then answered Haggai, and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the LORD; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean. Very strong words from Haggai.

A nation cannot be clean, before God, if it handles the unclean thing. When are we going to realize that the unclean thing is anything that is an abomination to God? “So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the LORD; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.” God will not be part of uncleanly-ness or unrighteousness. A nation of reprobate people cannot stand before God and then desire that their prayers be answered.

Look at the things that God asked us to consider.

1. Prayer, The Ten Commandments, unlawful in Schools and Government Buildings.

2. Gay Marriage, Gay priest, Women Deacons.

3. A massive, international “gay pride” event previously held in Rome, at the doorstep of the Vatican, has chosen Jerusalem as its next venue.

Jerusalem the Pride of God, the Holy City. Blassfeamers,adulterers, double minded hypocrites. Where is your since of right and wrong, good and evil? Haven’t you been chastised by God enough, what will it take? And these are just a few. Doesn’t this appear to be a double minded man ? [Speaking as a Nation]

Jam 1:6-8 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

2Pe 2:10-16. But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;
And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man’s voice forbade the madness of the prophet.

And now, I pray you, consider from this day and upward, from before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the LORD: Since those days were, when one came to an heap of twenty measures, there were but ten: when one came to the pressfat for to draw out fifty vessels out of the press, there were but twenty. I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the labours of your hands; yet ye turned not to me, saith the LORD.

Cannot the people see the chastisement of God upon them, cannot they see that God is willing to bless, but He will not bless the unclean thing.

Consider now, how one woman took prayer from school, consider now, that one group is introducing gay books to children, consider now, how a hand full of people can change the life of Gods children by introducing acceptance training for gays and lesbians.

Compromise, compromise, the down fall of humanity and righteousness in our land of plenty. This land we call home will become as Sodom and Gomorrha, a land of want and famine.

Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation of the LORD’S temple was laid, consider it. “So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the LORD; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.”

Consider the past, Consider the present and Consider your future?

The first importance you need to do is to create a good atmosphere. Chinese negotiators respect Americans’ culture can create an equal and harmonious negotiating atmosphere.

For example, western people like to talk about specific articles directly while Chinese negotiators can adjust their own thinking to begin the negotiation with specific articles to adapt the other side’s custom. This will make the guests think that their Chinese partners respect them and they will respect Chinese negotiators’ negotiating behaviors which are different with theirs. Thus, the negotiating atmosphere will become friendly and harmonious.

Secondly, remember it is important to be a good listener. In view of this situation that western negotiators have the characteristic of making full preparation and being professional. Chinese negotiators can remain silence during the negotiation, listen more and gain more information through listening.

Thirdly, do give definite words. Chinese negotiators should adopt direct and determined words and avoid equivocal words such as “maybe”, “perhaps” etc.

International business negotiation involves with the management of the contract and the follow-up communicating. Different culture has different understanding with the content and effect of the contract. For example: American culture emphasize objective and attach importance on equality which determines that they rely on thorough contract to ensure rights and set obligations. So, the contracts between American companies are always as long as hundreds of pages, including very careful wording articles about all the aspects related to the contracts with the purpose of protect their own company from any dispute and unexpected accident. Other culture may not have such complicated contracts, so, they must endure Americans’ this custom.

In international business activities, the differences of culture and national psychology always influence the decision of the management. Different cultural background makes different business style, for example, Americans are mainly interested in profit while Chinese are interested in the market shares. Besides, those who speak different language may have different thoughts. The stringent German, flexible Americans, calm French, the warm-hearted Spanish and the enigmatic Japanese and so on are all closely related to their language. So, in international business activities, people should not only know the rules of the business activities, but also the prevailing customs and culture characteristics of the other people.

Every agent has their own twist on what works when presenting their listing presentation to a prospective seller. Below will outline some important criteria that you will need to incorporate in some fashion in your listing presentation. You can make it fancy by using MS Publisher or you can make it factual and straight forward. What matters the most is that you show your client that you are professional, have done your research and are proficient in real estate. By the end of the listing presentation, you should fully understand the seller’s goals and objectives and what it’s going to take for you to get the listing. Use any or all of these ideas:

• Discover the seller’s objectives, priorities, expectations and concerns.
• Explain the services you and your company provide.
• Educate the sellers about the home selling process, and explain their

role in it.
• Discuss the important issues of market value and home enhancement.
• Demonstrate your professionalism and differentiate yourself from the competition.
• Begin to build a strong working relationship with the sellers.

The Listing Presentation can be used in three ways.

Pre-listing package

You can either send a pre-listing package to the sellers prior to your listing presentation, or leave with them after the initial visit of a two-meeting listing
approach. This is an opportunity for you to:

• Present background information about yourself, your company and your services, and to establish a
professional image.
• Gather essential information about the sellers and the property.
• Pre-condition the sellers to the realities of pricing, marketing and home enhancement (which you will
discuss in depth during your presentation).

Presentation visual aid to use during the listing presentation.

• Helps keep your presentation “on track.”
• Focuses the seller’s attention and provides visual reinforcement for the key points you explain.

A leave-behind package for the sellers to keep as a reference throughout the home selling process. The seller’s copy of the Listing Presentation will:

•Reinforce the marketing, pricing and home enhancement information you discussed with them.
• Remind the sellers of their vital role in preparing and showing their home.

How to Develop an Effective Home selling Proposal

• Include information about yourself and your local company.
• Reflect local real estate practices and terminology.
• Add personal touches, such as the seller’s names and a photo of their house.
• Keep in mind that an effective listing presentation is a two-way interactive dialogue, not a one-way sales pitch.
• The key is asking questions that encourage the sellers to give you candid information about their
concerns, objectives and priorities, and then showing them how you can meet their needs.
• Use descriptive words and ideas as a starting point for building your own unique listing presentation, based on your personality and style, and tailored to the needs of your sellers.
• Practice really does make perfect. By consistently applying and practicing your listing presentation, you will become proficient and increase your chances of getting the listing.
