Jesus instructed His disciples to, “Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven where moth and rust does not corrupt nor thieves breakthrough and steal.” For years I have contemplated this word by Jesus, but I never fully understood how you could gain a mansion filled with treasures in heaven. As I have been learning toContinue reading ““Moments Of Obedience Are Moments That Last Forever””

[Excerpts from prayer on Periscope this week with Pastor Richard] Last night Prophet Timothy Snodgrass prophesied to us: “Intercede from the position of wealth. The Lord is going to bring wealth to you.  He’s going to open up the windows of heaven and pour out incredible financial blessings.  It is necessary that you give itContinue reading “A Valuable Hour”

Prayer is the greatest personal reaction to the Holy Spirit that any man or woman can have. Its record is internal perfection, if the prayer intercessor is willing to be taught. Jesus said that the Holy Spirit wants to be our Teacher. Oh, what wonderful lessons the Holy Spirit will teach if we are willingContinue reading “Prayer ~ The Great Perfector”

Wow! Can things get any better? I feel such joy, exuberance, and just plain peace. Jesus endured the cross because he looked for the joy that was set before him. Whatever situation you are going through right now, you must not look at the situation; look at the joy that is set before you. LastContinue reading “This is Heaven!”

I’ve spent a major part of my life trying to understand how God answers prayer. We all face the same issues when it comes to our prayers. Some are easily answered. Others, though we agonize over them, appear to receive no response, at least not to our satisfaction. Recently in intercession, I have seen theContinue reading “Heaven’s Response Of Answered Prayer”

The daily one hour prayer meetings I have with you on Periscope are so enlightening to me. They are also a demonstration of the spirit of unity in the power of prayer. Unity must not only be between each other, but also with Heaven’s will. Every day we are gradually moving our nation towards theContinue reading “A Call To Prayer”

When the Lord spoke to me in prayer and told me I was a sheep of His pasture, it wasn’t flattering. Instead, I was slightly offended because I considered myself to be intelligent. But the Holy Spirit is very patient in His instruction. After a few instructive incidences, the more often I would approach aContinue reading ““Innocence ~ The New Intelligence””

Most of my prayer in English is simple, straightforward, and to the point. But it also makes it possible for prayers to be ineffective. This is why the Scripture is so apt to say, “The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” ‭ For years I have spent the primary focus of myContinue reading ““The Reason For Long Intercession In Other Tongues””

Learning the ways of God requires the full mental capacity of any person that has a desire to reach excellence in human endeavors. One of the key elements for understanding God’s ways is this: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom”. There is an element of this Scripture which many times goes overlooked.Continue reading “God’s Noncoercive Voice”

Many would say there is no mystery in blessing ~ just receive it and enjoy it. But I am acutely aware of how dangerous great wealth and power can quickly become. It is so dangerous that Jesus said, “Verily I say unto you, that a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.Continue reading ““Understanding The Mystery Of Blessing “”
