When God gave me the title and points for this teaching. . .my first reaction was to say. . .REALLY? 

I’m being truthful. . .I’ve taught on each of these seven ways to guarantee financial failure before. . .some more than once.

As I was wondering why. . .God very clearly spoke into my spirit and said, “Teach it until my children get it.”

Immediately He brought Philippians 3:1 in the Amplified Bible to my remembrance.

If you ask a question with a faulty premise. . .you will never get an accurate answer.

For instance, someone recently asked me:  “Why did God allow me to lose my job?”

The faulty assumption is that somehow its Gods fault because they’re now unemployed.

After several probing questions. . .I discovered this person didn’t praise God for the job they had. . .in fact, they complained about the job which meant, they weren’t asking God to protect their job because they didn’t like it.

There is absolutely no doubt that God wants you manifesting Biblical success in your life.

It’s important to understand the significance of Biblical success . . .that’s where you and everyone around recognizes that God makes you successful.

Deuteronomy 30:9 in the New Century Version says:

“The Lord your God will make you successful in everything you do. You will have many children, your cattle will have many calves, and your fields will produce good crops, because the Lord will again be happy with you, just as he was with your ancestors.”

My father-in-love, Fred Classon, who transitioned to heaven about three years ago. . .at the age of 91 was fond of saying.

“No one ever told me getting old was going to be like this.”

Probably twenty years ago, I read a survey about what would happen on the average to a group of 100 people reaching age 65.

* 1 would be wealthy

* 4 would have enough money for retirement

If you win the Kentucky Derby, you and your horse are invited into the winner’s circle.

If you win any NASCAR race you are then allowed to drive your car into the Winner’s Circle.

Many corporations and network marketing companies often call their rewards and recognition program for those who achieve certain goals. . .the Winner’s Circle.

Psalm 25:8-13 in The Living Bible says:

I’m going to say eighteen words. . .if you get nothing else from this teaching but those eighteen words. . .your life will never be the same.

When I say “get it”. . .I mean. . .”get it”. . .deep down inside. . .so that no circumstance or problem can ever cause you to forget this powerful truth. . .even in the heat of battle.

Are you ready?  I want you to say it out loud with me.  Ready?

July 4th is not just another holiday.

It's much more than a trip to the beach, lake or pool.  It's much more than a picnic in the park or backyard.  This holiday is more than oohing and awing at fireworks displays.

July 4th is about freedom and liberty won and maintained through great personal sacrifice, commitment and faith.

Our independence was won by those who were willing to pay the ultimate price to that you and I could enjoy a holiday such as this.

I feel led to share with you 15 interesting, inspiring and sometimes humorous things about July 4th, our Day of Independence.

You Can Experience Miracle Manifestation In Your Life Now…..

Here are 7 Steps on how you can personally experience a Miracle Manifestation:

1.         You’ve got to believe in miracles

Psalm 86:8,10 in the New Living Translation says:

 “Nowhere among the pagan gods is there a god like you, O Lord.  There are no othermiracles like yours.  For you are great and perform great miracles.  You alone are God.”

You serve a God of Miracles.  A miracle is the supernatural intervention of God in the problems of your life.

By believing in the power of God, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Over the past three and one-half years. . .I’ve written 42 blogs and/or television programs on leadership.

You would think that I had covered on the bases on the do’s and don’ts of being a leader.  At least, that’s what I thought . . .until God allowed me to see something in a way that I’d never seen it before.

As the passage begins Moses is being paid a visit by Jethro, his father-in-law.  If I may, I want to have a popular culture moment. 

The Jethro of the scripture reminds me of Jethro Gibbs from the NCIS TV show . . .in terms of his demeanor and approach to life.  Oh well, let’s read. . .

Have you ever said or heard someone say, “I just need the right opportunity.”

Before you can ever really have an opportunity you must know where it comes from.

2 Corinthians 2:12 in The Living Bible says:

“Well, when I got as far as the city of Troas, the Lord gave me tremendous opportunities to preach the Gospel.”

God wants us using every opportunity we have. . .RIGHT NOW.
