Here are the Top 5 Rich Thoughts Nuggets of the week.

  5.  Salvation is more than missing hell and making heaven…it’s the Hebrew word yĕshuw`ah which means, “salvation, deliverance, prosperity, victory” God’s plan for you.

  1.  Victory begins with the Word of God in your heart and the name of Jesus on your lips.

Ten or so years ago, there was a movie entitled “Fifty First Dates” starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore.   In the story. . .Drew Barrymore has short-term memory loss; she can’t remember anything that happened the day before.

So every morning the Sandler character has to woo the Barrymore character all over again from the beginning hoping she’ll like him.  At the end of the movie, he prepares a video for her to watch each morning which remind her of things in her life which she was forgotten.

That’s a movie. . .but let me tell you about something and someone who is real.

There are seven things God is giving each of us.  However, sometimes it seems we have short term memory loss when it comes to remembering what God has done for us.

That’s why we have a book of life. . .called the Bible which we can and should refer to on a daily basis.

The enemy of your future...Satan only has three abilities: to deceive, to tempt and to accuse.

You can defeat him with three scripturally guaranteed strategies.

Revelation 12:10-11 in the King James Version says:

“And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

The verse says that when salvation, strength, the Kingdom of God and the power of Christ come. . .the devil. . .the accuser of the brethren is cast down.

Revelation 12:10 in the Amplified Bible says it this way.

“Then I heard a strong (loud) voice in heaven, saying, Now it has come—the salvation and the power and the kingdom (the dominion, the reign) of our God, and the power (the sovereignty, the authority) of His Christ (the Messiah); for the accuser of our brethren, he who keeps bringing before our God charges against them day and night, has been cast out!

10.  Every seed you sow proves you've conquered greed.

  1.  Shouting time!!! God is bigger than every problem you will face today.

I remember the first time I ever spoke in London there were probably 500 plus people in our Debt Free Army rally.

If you’ve ever heard me speak at one of our seminars you know that I enjoy getting people to laugh while driving home the points about financial freedom.

But on this Saturday morning. . .the audience wasn’t laughing even though my words should have prompted laughter. English audiences are known to be a bit reserved.

There were a few empty reserved seats on the front row so I climbed on top of those chairs and asked how many of those in attendance had ever heard of James Brown, the American soul singer.  Probably, 95% of the room raised their hands while smiling.

So I started singing. . .yes, I started singing “I Feel Good” by James Brown but I changed the lyrics a bit.

“Wo!  I feel good (dun a dun a dun a dun) just like Jesus said I would.

I feel good, (dun a dun a dun a dun) like I knew I would
Jesus  is So good, so good, I got Jesus.  (dun a dun a dun)

What does it take to be successful in whatever your hands find to do?

Some would say. . .an undergraduate or post-graduate education.  Perhaps, but it’s important to note that Bill Gates never graduated from college. . .neither did Michael Dell. . .nor Debbie of Mrs. Fields Cookies. . nor did 1 out of 4 of the wealthiest 500 people in the United States. In addition, we don’t know how many are even pursuing the field they graduated in.

I have a college degree but I can’t say that I use any of my training in what I do. And my fine wife Bev feels the same way. 

Lest you get the wrong idea that we’re down on college . . . that’s not necessarily true.  It has its place if you need specific training to get where you want to go.

In other words, I want my doctor to have gone to medical school but lots of higher degrees isn’t for everyone despite the fact that society pushes everyone to have a degree.

Have you ever wondered. . .God, why do I have to go through this?

Or perhaps, you thought. . .why am I going through the fire?

While I realize that no one wants to go through hard times…

I can tell you with absolute certainty what you will find in the fire.

It’s your miracle.  That’s right.

Your miracle is in the fire.

My favorite Bible story as a child was about the three Hebrews thrown into the fiery furnace.  I loved this story even more than Daniel in the lion’s den.

Before we go any further. . .once again. . .I’m going to make a powerful, life-changing statement that I want you to write down.

 10.  Never allow fear of the unknown steal your peace.

  9.  Moving out of your comfort zone into the new thing God has planned for you will take persistence to overcome any resistance.

  7.  If you're in the midst of a demonic firefight....remember...Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego found their miracle in the fire.

  6.  Money is neither good nor bad. . .it’s neutral. It just reflects the mentality of the person who possesses it.

Here are the Top 5 Rich Thoughts Nuggets of the week.

  5.  Make up your mind ...that you will no longer stay where you are mentally & spiritually. Become the change you desire.

  4.  God forgives AND forgets; it’s the devil who likes to remind you of your past. Remind him where he's going to spend eternity.       

  3.  God’s best for His children never includes anyone living in the bondage of debt and the agony of lack...especially, you.

  2.  A breakthrough is a sudden burst of faith that will take us beyond all previous points of past resistance.

  1.  Going to church will not bring the change you seek but getting the Word of God in your heart will turn things around.

Breakthrough is a word we hear quite a bit in Christian circles.

I checked twelve different translations and found breakthrough only appears in the Message Bible and not in the context of contemporary usage.

According to dictionary.com breakthrough is defined as:

“a military movement or advance all the way through and beyond an enemy's front-line defense; an act or instance of removing or surpassing an obstruction or restriction; the overcoming of a stalemate.”

The dictionary definition is more in line with how we use the word breakthrough.

Now let me share with you the Herring Life Experiences definition of breakthrough.  It is a:

 10.  Confidence in the Word makes you a winner in life. . .no matter. . .what you're facing.

  9.  Sowing seeds today prepares the way for harvests tomorrow.

  8.  Our words will empower or eliminate the enemy’s ability to wreak havoc in our financial lives.

  6.  Confess this "I can do more than I think I can because I have the mind of Christ which is functioning fully and freely within me."
