Expect God To Move Suddenly

Written by Harold Herring. Posted in Life Strategies

Miracles.

I love hearing about miracles. . .talking and testifying about them.

I love it. . .when we personally experience miracles.

I love writing and teaching about miracles.  In fact, during the past week we’ve talked about miracles on two of our Rich Thoughts For Breakfast calls.

I spend a lot of time ruminating about miracles.  Now ruminating is a good word when it comes to miracles.

Ruminating means:

“think deeply about something; think about, contemplate, consider, meditate on, muse on, mull over, ponder on/over, deliberate about/on, chew on.

My faith is always looking for God's next "suddenly."

When our faith and the ability of God intersect . . .miracles manifest.

Choose Your Miracle Focus Today

Written by Harold Herring. Posted in RichThoughts

Miracles attract attention.

Miracles point the sincere to Jesus.

Miracles lead the lost to their Savior.

Miracles are often verbally desired but seldom spiritually expected.

There is no such thing as a surprise miracle. . .you believe for it. . .pray for it and yes, you must expect it to manifest.

We must place our focus and expectation on miracle manifestation.  We must always be ready for a defining moment. . .so we never let it passes us by.

Here are seven keys for your miracle focus.

Money Is For Movement

Written by Harold Herring. Posted in Life Strategies

Over the years we’ve taught that money is for movement.  Money is a magnifier.  Money reveals the heart of the person who possesses it.

Let’s discuss the real purpose of money and how it’s to be used for the building of God’s Kingdom.

Pastor Rick Warren, author of The Purpose Driven Life, said:

“Being reminded about the incredible power of God's love, and living as He intended, is the most powerful motivation to change.”

Living as God intended.

Did God intend for us to spend our lives being broke and living from paycheck to Prozac?  Not at all.

Psalm 112:3 in the King James Versions personalized says:

“Wealth and riches shall be in <<Your Name>> house: and her righteousness endureth forever.”

100 Days...Making Every One Count

Written by Harold Herring. Posted in RichThoughts

Today is the 100th day of 2016. (April 9, 2016)

Consider this rhetorical question.

Have we given the first 100 days of this year. . .100% of our best efforts?

2 Timothy 2:15 in the Message Bible says:

“Concentrate on doing your best for God, work you won’t be ashamed of, laying out the truth plain and simple.”

It’s time for an honest assessment of our efforts.

Your doorbell rings. . .you open the door to find Jesus standing there. . .He looks straight into your soul and says:

“We need to talk.”

Would your spirit soar or would your heart sink?

If He sat down at your kitchen table. . .took out His iPad and began you show you a video of the events in the first 100 days of this year. . .would you be proud of what you saw?

You Get Better At It Every Day

Written by Harold Herring. Posted in RichThoughts

God loves it when we pull close to Him. . .He wants us reading and obeying His Word.

He wants us moving from glory to glory in His marvelous image.  During a recent Rich Thoughts for Breakfast we taught from Revelation 2:29 in the Message Bible.  The Lord used that scripture to show me seven keys of getting better in our spiritual walk every day.

Now, He directed me to put some meat on the bones of the seven points and share it with our world-wide Internet audience on Sunday Night LIVE.

But first, the letter to the church at Thyatira is the LONGEST of the seven letters, but was written to the smallest and seemingly least important of the seven cities. The point is God cares about each and every one of us.  No one is ever left out.

Here’s our primary scripture for this teaching.

Revelation 2:19 in the Message Bible says:

7 Action Steps To Ignite Your Destiny

Written by Harold Herring. Posted in Life Strategies

What we’re thinking, speaking and planning will never become a reality until we actually act on what we’ve been thinking, speaking and planning.

Here are seven actions to ignite your destiny.

Action # 1     Think about something. . .good.

Proverbs 23:7 says:

“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he. . .”

Have you ever had someone. . .perhaps your spouse or best friend. . .ask you what you were thinking about. . .only to say “nothing.”

First off, thinking about nothing is not humanly possible.

Second, if it were possible. . .it would be an ignorant. . .if not, unwise thing to do.

Third, let’s never waste time thinking about nothing.

Thinking about nothing. . .is both bad and sad. . because you’ll never know when we’re through thinking about nothing.

Watch Out For Trick Questions

Written by Harold Herring. Posted in Life Strategies

I think there’s one thing we can all agree on.  The devil is a liar.  He’s deceitful and he’d love to cause havoc in your life.

John 8:44 in the Classic Amplified Bible says:

“. . .because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a falsehood, he speaks what is natural to him, for he is a liar [himself] and the father of lies and of all that is false.”

Yes, the devil is a liar but he is also very tricky.

He loves word games.

He loves to pose deceitful questions.

This is nothing new.  He did it to Jesus.

Matthew 4:3 in the King James Versions says:
