Have you ever planned a trip or summer vacation?  In days gone by you would get a map from a service station or perhaps invest in a Rand McNally book of maps.

You would carefully plan your journey. . .plotting the number of hours involved. . .what cities you want to spend the night in along the way. . .which hotel you would call for reservations. . .what tourist sights you will visit. . .and some would even calculate the number of bathroom breaks or rest stops on the journey.

Ah. . .days gone by.

Regardless of how carefully you planned. . .it was highly probably you would encounter roadblocks, detours, potholes, sinkholes, obstacles, changing terrain and even hitchhikers on your journey.

As you travel the highway of life on your journey to the debt free lifestyle. . .you will no doubt encounter. . . roadblocks, detours, potholes, sinkholes, obstacles, changing terrain and even hitchhikers.

You would be amazed at how many times I’ve heard someone say:

  1.  Our worth is measured by what’s in our hearts and not what’s in our wallets.

As I was reading Isaiah 55:11 my spirit was stirred to write “Seven Things For Seven Days.”

“So shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return to Me void [without producing any effect, useless], but it shall accomplish that which I please and purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.”

You can’t send forth what you don’t know.

Your mouth can’t send forth what you heart doesn’t understand.

Let’s look at the verse in greater detail.

10.  Spending money you don’t have may bring you a momentary high but watch out for the financial hangover.

As I was preparing for the Mother’s Day Rich Thoughts for Breakfast conference call. . .the following sentence stirred in me.

“God wants us to dream bigger…speak boldly…think creatively…associate higher…do more…never give up and start today.”

I thought. “That would be a great Facebook post and Twitter Tweet” . . .but the Lord clearly said to me. . . “It would make a better SUNDAY NITE LIVE teaching.”

Truthfully, my first thought was “Lord, I’ve already got something and I need a nap.”

Fortunately, I never spoke those words and I repented for even thinking them.

Here’s what I know. . .this teaching is being directed for some of God’s choice chosen vessels. . .like you.

Good morning and welcome to Rich Thoughts For Breakfast.

Let’s talk about ten scriptural reasons you’ve got miracle working power available to you.  As I go through these ten scriptures. . .I’m going to specifically list 34 power points or keys. . .which I will review at the end of the call.

First, Mark 16:17-18 says:

“And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;  They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.”

Do you believe?  Do you really believe every word in the Bible is true?  Do you really believe you can do everything the Word of God says you can do?

Signs follow those who believe. . .they can do what the Word of God says they can do.
