Healing is instant but faith is a process (Daily Word)
April 27, 2020 04:00 - 12 minutes - 17.1 MBDivine healing is not a reward for serving God or living a holy life. Instead, it is a basic benefit of every believer that is designed to be accessed instantly with your faith. However, if we just simply look around, we notice that some people receive divine healing quickly, for others it comes a bit slower, and for many healing doesn't come at all. Why is this the case? Because obtaining faith for healing is a process. Listen to today's Daily Word to explore this concept. Links Ministry...
Guarding our heart against fear (Faith Discussion)
April 27, 2020 01:28 - 1 hour - 104 MBFear is kryptonite to the success of the calling God placed in our heart. If fear is left unchecked it will completely stall or destroy our calling. Therefore, we need to stop the growth of fear in our hearts. We stop fear's growth by cutting off its food source, which is repetition of hearing negative words, speaking negative words and thinking negative thoughts.

It's time to accept your calling (Faith Chat)
April 24, 2020 20:05 - 3 minutes - 5.09 MBThe word God spoke to my heart for 2020 was clarity. In particular, He said those you know, accept, and execute their calling will experience unprecedented levels of success in 2020. What I am sensing in my spirit is that now is the critical time to really accept the calling. Most of us know what it is, but we have not truly accepted it. Without acceptance, we do not have faith to execute our calling. Thus, we won't experience the unprecedented levels of success God is speaking in this seaso...

God may lead you through financial lack (Daily Word)
April 22, 2020 04:00 - 8 minutes - 11.4 MBThere is a misconception that says, "If God called me to start a business or ministry, then I will not lack anything." Well, this is not quite true. As you are on your entrepreneurial journey, God may lead you through periods of financial lack. Now, He is not causing the lack, but the road to your calling may be paved with financial lack.

May is a big test for the church (Faith Chat)
April 21, 2020 21:06 - 4 minutes - 5.71 MBIn May, stay-at-home restrictions are going to be released in many states and cities. However, churches are going to act in one of two ways. Some Pastors will keep their churches closed while others will open up immediately. Here's what might happen (if we are not careful): Christians will call those who decide to stay home faithless, and those Christians who stay home will call those who go to church reckless. There will be a lot of name-calling on social media, and if this occurs, the chur...
Program your mind to think like God (Daily Word)
April 21, 2020 04:00 - 10 minutes - 15 MBThe results we reap are a direct product of the thoughts we think. Our minds are the engines that drive our success; therefore, we have to intentionally program how we think. If we allow worldly thinking to program our minds, then we will reap success mired with sorrows and pain. If our minds have a mixture of worldly and godly programming, then we will be unsuccessful and frustrated. However, if we program our minds to think like God, then we will have success without the hustle and sorrows...
Set God goals not personal goals (Daily Word)
April 20, 2020 04:00 - 9 minutes - 12.7 MBMost times when we don't achieve our goals it's because we set those goals without input from God. Setting a goal without a word from God equals trying to throw a rock at the moon. Allow God to set your goals, and watch your goal achievement rate dramatically increase to almost 100%.

A few basic principles to interpret dreams and visions (Daily Word)
April 17, 2020 05:01 - 13 minutes - 18.9 MBGod speaks to us mainly through His written word. However, He is also in the business of giving us dreams and/or visions as part of our toolkit for direction for our entrepreneurial calling. A simple distinction I use between them is that dreams happen when you are asleep and visions happen when you are awake. In today's Daily Word I am providing a few basic principles to interpret dreams and visions. This is by no means a complete study on the topic, but it is a great starting point. Link...

Use everyday faith in a fearful world (Daily Word)
April 16, 2020 04:00 - 12 minutes - 15.9 MBOne of the main things this pandemic has caused is fear. People are afraid to be in close proximity to other human beings. While social distancing is a tool to help combat the pandemic, after the pandemic is over the experience of social distancing will leave most of the human population scarred with fear. This embedded fear in people's souls will keep many inside even when it is safe to travel, and those who do venture out will do so tentatively with a deep remnant of fear, keeping wary of ...
Don't pivot without an unction from Holy Spirit (Faith Chat)
April 15, 2020 19:32 - 1 minute - 2.28 MBThere is a lot of talk online about how businesses and ministries need to pivot to adjust to the current crisis we are overcoming. In general this is good advice, but it is absolutely the wrong advice if you don't have an unction from Holy Spirit to pivot. As believers we don't allow circumstances to dictate our calling. Watch this quick Faith Chat to hear my thoughts on this. Links Ministry School Partnership
Faith is not like being superman (Daily Word)
April 15, 2020 04:00 - 13 minutes - 18 MBWhen I was younger, I believed that if I had enough faith, I would be invincible from all problems. However, as I got older and learned more about the Bible, I discovered that it is not quite like that. While having faith does overcomes all problems, faith does not make me invincible like superman. Rather, faith makes me a child led by my father, God. Links Ministry School Partnership
Would Jesus follow quarantine rules? (Get Answers)
April 14, 2020 04:00 - 17 minutes - 22.9 MBAfter a few weeks of quarantines, serious disagreements between governments and churches and contentions within the Christian community have emerged. Some are strongly in agreement with the current attempts at reducing the pandemic through quarantines, while others feel that it is overreaching. Christians who don't follow social distancing and mask wearing are calling Christians who do faithless. Christians who follow social distancing are calling Christians who don't disrespectful and dange...

Jesus had to use faith to achieve His calling (Faith Discussion)
April 12, 2020 23:36 - 50 minutes - 54.6 MBJesus’ calling was to die on the cross, go to hell, and be raised up so we could be saved. We often assume that this was easy to do because, after all, Jesus is the son of God. However, this is far from the truth. Jesus walked the earth as a man and had to overcome stress and fear (just like the rest of us) to fulfill his calling.

Remove unbelieving people from your circle of influence (Daily Word)
April 10, 2020 04:00 - 11 minutes - 15.1 MBThe vision that God has given to you requires faith to achieve. However, if you have people in your circle of influence who are casting doubt over your vision, either in words or actions, their unbelief will contaminate your faith. When this happens, your once strong faith becomes ineffective and your vision fails. You need to remove unbelieving people from your circle of influence in order to avoid this scenario, so you can achieve success in your vision and receive all the things for whi...
The Word for 2020 is Clarity (Part IV)
April 09, 2020 04:00 - 8 minutes - 11 MBThe word God spoke to my heart for 2020 was clarity. In particular, that those of us who implement their calling in clarity would experience unprecedented levels of success. However, in the midst of 2020 a global economic shutdown has occurred, so does that mean the word for this year is wrong? No. In fact, the global crisis is acting like a purifier that is clarifying (if we allow it) our callings to the core, which will produce callings that are sweet offerings to the Lord that are positio...

April 08, 2020 04:00 - 10 minutes - 13.5 MBIt may seem like you have been working endlessly to accomplish your vision with little to no success.

Don't allow a global shutdown to crush your vision (Faith Chat)
April 08, 2020 03:01 - 8 minutes - 9.42 MBI'm sitting on the back porch tonight and felt led to record a faith chat. What is on my heart is to encourage you to not let this global shutdown crush your vision. Yes, for some, the vision may have to pause for a moment, but it's just a pause — nothing else. For others, your vision needs to continue functioning during the shutdown. Listen in to explore this with me tonight. Links: Ministry School Partnership
Don’t ask why, just keep pressing until victory (Daily Word)
April 07, 2020 04:00 - 9 minutes - 13 MBAs you are implementing the calling God has given you, unfortunately bad situations will occur along your journey. However, when a bad situation happens, don't focus on why it happened, instead just ask God to fix it and keep pressing until you receive victory. Asking why is a waste of energy and time, and usually doesn't yield satisfactory answers. There is a peace in not focusing on the bad, but continually pressing toward good.

Faith doesn't believe in facts (Faith Discussion)
April 06, 2020 01:31 - 1 hour - 61.3 MBFaith is not "see it then believe it." Instead, it is "believe it then see it." Faith brings your desires into the present. Faith doesn't stop working just because our calling is challenged by a world crisis. Faith doesn't believe in facts. Faith changes facts. Faith dictates your calling, not the facts of circumstances.

Receive what your faith can receive now (Faith Discussion)
April 03, 2020 04:53 - 1 hour - 79.9 MBGod has many powerful promises in His word, like living without debt, in perfect health, and lacking nothing. These promises are accessed through our faith, but let’s face it: Our faith may come up short. However, don’t get in condemnation, because the promises of God are not all or nothing. God meets us at our current level of faith, so we can walk partially in His promises until we develop our faith to walk fully in them. Receive what your faith can receive now.

Your way causes unnecessary delays and collateral damage
April 02, 2020 04:56 - 12 minutes - 16.5 MBYour way is any way that is planned and implemented without the counsel of God. Most times you have good intentions, because you are walking in God's calling for your life, so it seems like you are in God's will. However, no matter how great your intentions, your way can lead to unnecessary delays and collateral damage to your marriage, friendships, followers, finances, and/or health.

How do we know who is prophesying correctly?
April 01, 2020 05:13 - 10 minutes - 13.8 MBI had a strong leading from God in my spirit to explore with you the question of “How do we know who is prophesying correctly?” Why? Because in times of crisis, many people rise up and declare “what thus saith the Lord is.” If you just casually glance at social media, this is not too hard to find (especially since everyone is preaching online these days). One prophet says this. Yet another says that. And what they say is contradicting. We know God is not the author of confusion, so someone i...
When life throws you a curve ball

Maybe you will become physically ill, perhaps you will experience a death of a close friend or family member, or maybe there will be a financial emergency. These curve balls in life have the potential to knock us off the paths of our callings. In today's Daily Word, we examine the scriptures to see how Jesus dealt with life's curve balls, so we can learn from His example. Links: Ministr...

God will restore what it costs to get you back on track
March 26, 2020 04:00 - 8 minutes - 10.4 MBWhen we mix God's will with our own we are headed toward an eventual failure. Unfortunately it is very easy to taint God's will and not even realize it. However, when we do realize it, we need to get back on track even if we've spent a lot of money going down a tainted path. Don't allow the fact that you spent money going in a wrong direction cause you to stress about changing directions because God loves you so much that He will restore whatever you spent going down the wrong path.

Could this crisis refocus your calling?
March 25, 2020 04:00 - 10 minutes - 14.1 MBOur world is experiencing a major crisis that is creating fear, confusion, and economic loss among many people. However, could this crisis be a much needed wake-up call for you that actually pushes you toward the calling God has for you? God doesn't create crises to show us our visions, but a crisis could help us refocus our calling and reveals to us what we already knew to be true about our calling.

Pastoring at a Distance
March 24, 2020 22:08 - 7 minutes - 10.2 MBThe current global crisis has caused many organizations, including churches, to pause in-person gatherings. This has caused many (if not all) local churches to move their services and ministries online during this temporary session, which has forced pastors to enter a new era of "pastoring at a distance." Well, I have been pastoring at distance for the past six years, and the Holy Spirit has led me to share some of my experience to help local pastors make this transition. If you are a local ...
Pandemics can't stop God's calling on your life
March 20, 2020 05:21 - 11 minutes - 14.8 MBIf God called you to do it, then a pandemic can't stop your calling. Yes, the calling may come under attack or have temporary setbacks, but it cannot be stopped. However, if what you are doing is not from God, then a pandemic or any other trials will crush your efforts. Therefore, it is critical for us to be clear about and focus on our calling so that we can move forward regardless of the circumstances around us. Links: March Gathering Partnership
Don't fear like those who have no hope
March 19, 2020 04:00 - 8 minutes - 11.8 MBFear is contagious among non-believers because they don't have the antibodies to fight it, which is hope. However, as believers if we are not careful we can catch the fear virus if we give up our hope. The Bible instructs us not to fear like those who have no hope. Us fighting fear with hope is a sign to unbelievers that Jesus is real. Let’s hope, not fear. Links: March Gathering Partnership
Fear creates a future you don't want

Fear grows through repetition
