7 Characteristics Of The Joshua Generation

Written by Harold Herring. Posted in RichThoughts

This past Friday on our Rich Thoughts For Breakfast phone call I taught “Moses is dead…but you’re not.”

Almost immediately after the call concluded . . .I knew God wanted me to expand and continue this teaching on SUNDAY NITE LIVE.

But truthfully, my first thought was “Lord, I just taught this.  What will be people think?”

I can just imagine God smiling, shaking His head and going “Really, Harold, is that what you’re thinking.”

I know there are times when we unknowingly and unintentionally cause our Heavenly Father to shake His head in amazement.

God is so good to me. . .He showed me exactly the direction He wanted this teaching to take.

Keeping Your Family Priorities In Order

Written by Harold Herring. Posted in RichThoughts

Without question, the number one. . .the highest priority in a Christian’s life is daily seeking a closer personal relationship with Jesus as Lord.

No one can build this relationship for you. You can get saved, go to church, but only you can allow the Jesus to work through you as Lord of your life.

Your spouse, if you have one, should be your second priority, not your children. A marriage companion will be with you for the rest of your life, while your children are only with you for a season.

Your children are your next priority.They did not ask to be brought into this world, and it is up to parents to provide for and nurture them until they become adults.

7 Ways To Possess A Surplus Mentality

Written by Harold Herring. Posted in RichThoughts

Let’s make this clear. . .from the very beginning. . .there is no scarcity in the Kingdom of God nor should it exist in the lives of any of His children.

Our Heavenly Father is a God of surplus and He wants His children walking in His good gifts.

Luke 11:13 in the Amplified Bible says:

“If you then, evil as you are, know how to give good gifts [gifts that are to their advantage] to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask and continue to ask Him!”

God never has nor will He ever want His children to live in scarcity.

Scarceness is found one time in the King James Bible and it’s in Deuteronomy 8:9 which says:

God Will Pay You For It

Written by Harold Herring. Posted in RichThoughts

Good morning and welcome to Rich Thoughts for Breakfast.

If you’re discouraged . . . if you’re feeling blue . . . feeling sorry for yourself  . . . then do something for someone else.

Dr. Karl Menninger, a leader in the field of mental health, was once asked, “What would you advise a person to do if he’s on the verge of a nervous breakdown?”

The person asking the questions expected Dr. Menninger to come out with some profound psychological insight. However, he looked his questioner straight in the eye and said:

“Lock up your house, go across the railroad tracks, find someone in need and do something to help that person.”

The thing that will help every believer in the midst of a crisis is to get their eyes off their problem . . .stop talking about it. . .stop rehearsing their hurts and pains. Instead, put your focus on doing good for someone else . . . it works because it is a totally biblical principle.
