I’ll never forget, back in the early 80’s, when I was riding in the car with a famous Christian writer. It was only after he told me he was dealing with cancer in his own body that he confided the only struggle he had in life was between him and God. He’d come to the understanding that God’s will was completely sovereign and he had no ability to influence or change it. He leaned against the car window and said, “Richard, men who think they can command God don’t know Him. Like Job, I’m humbled by God’s will.”Continue reading “Coming To Grips With Purification By God”

Ideas From Your Personal Jesus

Christians who desire to be successful know that all ideas are supposed to emanate from Christ. But it appears that few understand how such a process occurs and, even if it does, it’s so random that it’s completely unpredictable. I’m beginning to discover that this is not necessarily true. God has actually laid out in Scripture a plan for you and I to plug into our own personal Jesus. But exactly how to plug in remains a mystery. Let me share with you what I’ve learned so far. (For those of you who are interested in going a little further in this area I have included more on this subject in the Monday Morning Blog.)Continue reading “Ideas From Your Personal Jesus”

Working With Failures

This year, 2012, is one of transition that, for most of you, will be the beginning of great success that will affect the rest of your lives. This means you will be establishing new relationships (most of them involving your workplace) with people who will stick with you for a long time. That’s why it’s important that we be very careful about whom we will associate with. There is a tendency for most of us to only choose successful people, those whom we think will be loyal to the very end, and who will never jump ship. But I believe someone who has failed before might actually be a better choice.Continue reading “Working With Failures”

The Prayer Of Hannah

At the beginning of the book of 1 Samuel we are given an incredible story about how God uses the handmaiden, Hannah, to turn all of Israel around to begin hearing the clear voice of God. As a matter of fact, the Bible says once Samuel became the prophet in Israel, all strife from Israel’s enemies ceased and the country was at peace all of the days of Samuel’s life. Samuel’s ability to hear the word of the Lord was responsible for this lasting peace. And when conflicts did arise, they were quickly resolved by miracles of the Lord.Continue reading “The Prayer Of Hannah”

This Blog Is Late. Oh, Really?

Yes, I know this blog is late. And I would say that the most common complaint I’ve heard (from myself and others) regarding God, is that He seems to be late a lot. Even the ancient prophets commented about this divine characteristic. Hosea said, “Though He may tarry wait for it, it will come.” Is it true, then, that God could be late? I’m not going to speak much on this issue, only to say that it’s definitely true our perception of God is that He is usually late.Continue reading “This Blog Is Late. Oh, Really?”

Spiritual Authority And Its Use In 2012

Spiritual authority is an invisible force that can be used to your advantage if you understand its purpose in God’s divine plan. When I was just a young man in my early twenties, I was given a book about the Christian teachings of Watchman Nee, which was written during the time of World War II. He was a pharmacist in China and, though he never wrote a book, his students took notes on his teachings and they were later compiled into books that can be purchased on Amazon.com. A book that really affected my life was the one he wrote on spiritual authority.Continue reading “Spiritual Authority And Its Use In 2012”

I Must Confess A Mistake

Probably the hardest thing for us to face in leadership is the realization that we have made a mistake. But God desires for us to confess those mistakes so that those working with us understand that we have chosen the will of God above our own reputations. This week I faced such a decision. I’d known about my mistake for the last few months, during which time God has been putting me under chastisement. Now He has told me it’s time to come to grips with it and explain to you how the mistake was made. I hope it will help you also clear the air and step back into the perfect will of God.Continue reading “I Must Confess A Mistake”

Less Haste, More Speed

It was a good while ago that God gave me this simple prophetic word: “Less haste, more speed.” I don’t know if I can remember when a prophetic word has had so much influence on my life culture. One of the direct influences upon my ability to properly follow God, and submit to His daily instructions correctly, has been my ability to remove haste out of my life ~ especially in the decision-making process. And yet I find out, paradoxically, more speed occurs.Continue reading “Less Haste, More Speed”

The Comet Comes And Gives God’s Final Message For The Year

I was standing on a 200-foot bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean when suddenly, as I raised my hands to praise God I had a vision of my body flying through the glory of God. My arms and legs were disconnected to the point to where even my tongue was out in front of my face. The word of God then came to me like a large egg slicer and sliced through all of my body parts. The fire of God purged through my body, soul, and spirit and the thoughts and intents of everything that was me was exposed. What I just described to you might sound painful and stressful, but to me it was very soothing and glorious. I knew there was nothing in my life that He did not have complete access to.Continue reading “The Comet Comes And Gives God’s Final Message For The Year”

Preparing A Clean Slate In Your Heart For The New Year

I love the way the Message Bible translates certain Scriptures, because it makes God’s meanings so stark-raving plain ~ especially where Paul talks about making a clean slate, a fresh start; and how to achieve it. In the year 2012 we will be entering a time of birthing brand new things, so it’s vital that we begin with a clean slate and a fresh start. The purer we are the purer our offspring will be.Continue reading “Preparing A Clean Slate In Your Heart For The New Year”
