Don't Be A Blessing Burglar

Written by Harold Herring. Posted in RichThoughts

I'll always reminder the day when a couple of friends and I stopped at Bojangles, my favorite fast-food restaurant.

As a seed of appreciation for their kindness in providing transportation for the day. . .I indicated I wanted to buy breakfast for them.

One of the two. . .said "no, thank you" even though she hadn't eaten breakfast and for the record, she is a generous person.

In a spirit of fun. . .I called her a “blessing burglar.”  Once those two words came out of my mouth. . .I knew God had just given me an incredible word for the Body of Christ.

Here are seven things blessing burglars need to learn. (seven things blessing burglars must overcome or seven ways to avoid being a blessing burglar.

1.      Learn to receive.

John 1:12 in the Amplified Bible says:

“But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the authority (power, privilege, right) to become the children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name.”

According to Strong’s Concordance the Greek word for receive is H2943 and it means:

26 Ways To Turn Failure Into Success

Written by Harold Herring. Posted in RichThoughts

Failure is an event. . .it’s not who you are.  Failure is never final if you have the God-given desire and direction to change your destiny.

Here are the A to Z’s on how to turn failure straight into success.

A-Admit it when you mess up.  The best way to overcome failure is to face it, learn from it and move on.

Proverbs 28:13 in The Living Bible says:

“A man who refuses to admit his mistakes can never be successful. But if he confesses and forsakes them, he gets another chance.”

B-Boldy refuse to accept failure as final regardless of how badly you may have messed up. 

On May 29, 1953, Sir Edmond Hillary was the first man to climb Mount Everest. . ..29,000 feet straight up. He was knighted for his efforts.

People remember his triumph but few people know that he failed in his first attempt a year earlier.

Later he was asked to speak to an audience that recognized his first attempt at greatness. But Edmund Hillary saw himself as a failure.

He walked to the edge of the platform, made a fist and pointed at a picture of Mount Everest. Then he said in a loud voice:

7 Things To Overcome For Victorious Living

Written by Harold Herring. Posted in RichThoughts

On today's program we're going to discuss seven "G's" to overcome if you want to walk in victory over your past.

# 1  Ghosts. . .something from the past (sin or otherwise) which you feel is real though it isn't visible to you or anyone else.

Popular culture is filled with talk of ghosts. . . on television programs and in movies. . .especially this time of year.

Let's just look at what the scripture has to say about ghosts.  And for the record, there are a lot of Christians who faithfully attend church, believe in God, who also believe in ghosts.

Matthew 14:25-27 in the New International Version says:

“Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. "It's a ghost," they said, and cried out in fear. But Jesus immediately said to them: "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid."

Jesus did not believe in ghosts; He knew the truth, but His superstitious apostles had evidently bought into that folk tale.

When they encountered something they couldn't understand, they immediately assumed it was a ghost.

Luke 24:37-39 in the New International Version says:
