4. God Revealed

God has revealed Himself to mankind from the time of creation. Join me this week and let’s explore the abundance of both His existing and intended evidence in the earth. God’s intention has always been for His people to represent Him. He established the nation of Israel as a kingdom to whom He would demonstrate His heart and the other nations of the world could see His goodness and character. King Solomon was filled with the wisdom of God and many kings from other nations came to him for answers...

3. Perceiving the Kingdom of God

It’s difficult to have bold faith if you’re unsure about your perception! Join me this week as I share what Jesus taught about entering and accessing the Kingdom of God. Jesus said becoming born again allowed us to SEE the Kingdom of God; He didn’t say we ENTERED the Kingdom. Seeing the Kingdom of God is more than perceiving that a kingdom exists. It is perceiving the resources and truths of that Kingdom, or realm, being made available to us and operating in our lives! We have to perceive the Ki...

2. The Kingdom Revealed

Join me this week to gain greater understanding of how to live in and access the realm of the Kingdom of Heaven right now while living on earth! Jesus taught more about the kingdom of heaven than any other topic. His model prayer demonstrated the need to understand the gospel of the kingdom. It is clearly about far more than just going to heaven after you die; it is intended to be an integral part of our daily lives on earth!

1. Frustrated by the Promises

Join me this week as I reveal the map leading directly to the treasures of heaven we should be enjoying on earth now! Jesus talked about heaven on earth which when heard by His audience held meaning tied to history that has been mostly lost in present day. His listeners knew that the reference to heaven on earth was a reference to the Garden of Eden. Well, who doesn’t want to live in the paradise described as Eden? However, many of us have believed the promises, but have been frustrated by not s...

9. Insight for Success

Being alone is more than simply being without another person; it is being without another person whom you trust and value enough to share your heart and listen to theirs. How many famous people have you heard of that come to their career’s or even their own ultimate demise because they would not heed the advice or opinions of others? When God provided Adam with a “helper” named Eve in the Garden of Eden, He was providing more than just a personal assistant or laborer. Join me this week as I shar...

8. The Unbeatable Business Plan

God has both masculine and feminine attributes; He is both powerful and nurturing. In creating man then taking woman from a part of him to provide a mate, He created a divine team which is designed to stimulate the greatest success for both parties as we honor each other’s strengths. Join me this week as I share the secret to the best, unbeatable business plan for yourself and your entire household!

7. The Path of Peace and Success

The fear (awe, respect, love, value) of the Lord leads to wisdom, and wisdom is the practical application of truth. Peace is a tranquil state of mind that comes from knowing you are connected to God and His resources. When we maintain our connection with God we will seek to apply His truth in a way that keeps us on the path of peace. Join me this week as I share how walking in true peace will bring peace to your entire household and all your relationships!

6. Holistic Success

True success is not meant to be limited to one area of life while leaving other areas failing or suffering. True success is holistic; meaning every area of life is harmonious with the values of all other aspects of life. Join me this week as I share tools you can use to bring success to your entire life!

5. The Authority of Man

God’s commission at the creation of man to be fruitful and multiply has a more joyful intention in the Hebrew language than many of us would realize. The original communication would be closer to “succeed at the thing your heart desires.” Where religion would have us stifled or reluctant to pursue our desires, God wants us to explore and live out our dreams to the fullest! He has given us full rule over our choices and the authority to carry them out. Join me this week as I share insights on God...

4. Co-Creators with God

There are two foundational laws of faith that affect everything we believe about God and about ourselves. The first is the Creation account as recorded in Genesis; the second is the Creation of man in the likeness and image of God. Only as we accept that we are created in God’s image can we see that we too are creators. We create the world around us moment by moment. God’s intention was for us to be successful and blessed. He gave us the right, privilege, and responsibility to create the world w...

3. The Faith of God

Keeping resolutions or following through with any decision is easy when we have the faith of God! Look closely at the cursing of the fig tree and you’ll see that Jesus did not perform any ceremony or create an uproar; He simply spoke something He believed in His heart, allowed time for the result, and didn’t negate His belief by saying something contrary. Then He instructed us to do the same. Join me this week as I show you that we do, in fact, have the same faith God has, which is the same fait...

2. The Power of Making Decisions

Humankind is the only species in all the earth which can change their quality of life by making decisions. We are created in God's image and have been given authority and dominion in the earth. Unfortunately, many have been confused and hindered by the religious doctrine of sovereignty, and have come to doubt their own authority and decisions. God is indeed sovereign, but He is not a liar. He gave authority in the earth to man; He would go against His word to take it back. Join me this week as I...

1. Resolutions that Work

Most people make resolutions at the start of a new year, and unfortunately too many do not see them through to completion. What we don't realize is that no matter how insignificant a resolution might seem, the lack of seeing it through causes something to change inside us that jeopardizes our confidence to follow through on future decisions. Join me this week for a biblical approach to making resolutions and you'll know you can see them through to the end!

4. Finding the Path of Life

Everyone goes through times of discouragement and despair. So often in those times we make bad choices that further exacerbate our pain. It is often in these times we write things on our heart that keep us locked into a life that is less than we want and less than God has provided. The quicker we can pull out of discouragement the less likely we are to cause more pain and destruction. Join me this week and I’ll show you how to win over discouragement and move on to the life Jesus died to give yo...

3. Christmas with a Purpose

Life is a journey. Like every journey we come to many forks in the road and must choose which path we will walk. Sadly, few people use the tools God provided so we could know in advance the outcome of the path we have chosen. When we use God’s tools we can avoid those paths that look great in the beginning to only end in failure, pain, and loss of the things and people we value. Join me this week and I will share God’s truth about how to stay on the path of life, wherein there is no death, destr...

1. Winning the Wrong Battle

Steven Covey in his book talked about people who spend their life climbing the ladder only to reach the top and discover their ladder was leaning on the wrong building. There is nothing sadder than to watch people try really hard to get the life they want, but they don’t realize they are trying hard at the wrong things; and there’s nothing more frustrating than to be trying really hard, but never seeing the desired results! Join me this week and I will help you discover what battle you need to w...

9. Stop Fighting and Start Solving Problems

8. The Heart of the Matter

Our heart is like a garden; everything we hear, read, or think is like a seed being planted. The degree of thought, reflection, and remembering we give to any of these seeds is like watering and feeding that seed to make it grow. If we spend more time reflecting and remembering our hurt than our joy, the seed growing in our garden will produce more and more hurt and pain. Join me this week as I share The Heart of The Matter, to help you choose what you want to grow in the garden of your heart.

7. The Cure

Every choice we make will take us in one of two possible directions: pain or pleasure, blessings or curses, life or death! When we are emotionally hurt our response to that pain will determine if we are set on the course of life or death. Join me this week as I share The Cure, and I’ll share how you can move past the pain and see clearly to walk the path of life.

6. Avoiding Future Pain

We often find ourselves paralyzed, afraid to move forward, for fear we will encounter the same pain we’ve experienced in the past. By applying Jesus’ teaching about dealing with offense, we can be sure we will never experience the kind of pain in the future that we have experienced in the past. Join me this week as I share Avoiding Future Pain.

5. The Pain Antidote

An antidote makes you immune to a particular disease. The Pain Antidote prevents you from ever having to deal with offenses and their consequences. Jesus warned that offenses would come, it’s inevitable. But He also gave us an antidote; when applied it immediately neutralizes the pain. Join me this week and I’ll share the Pain Antidote, so you can put an end to your suffering.

4. The Only Two Choices

Jesus gave His disciples very simple instructions about how to get rid of pain. But He also gave them a stern, but loving warning. You only have two options when it comes to dealing with pain: you either get rid of it or you hold on to it. There isn’t a third choice! Even though you probably didn’t know it, there is a way to put an end to the pain of the past. Join me this week and I’ll show you Jesus’ method for getting rid of pain.

3. What's Growing in Your Garden

All it takes to make your future better is to sow different seeds in your garden. Our heart is the garden from which everything in our life grows. Based on the law of the seed, we know all we have to do to get the crop we want is to plant the right seed. Join me this week and we’ll discover aspects of the law of sowing and reaping that guarantee we will always have the life we desire!

2. Operating Universal Laws

A safe filled with valuables is only difficult to open when you don’t have the combination. Most of God’s Word that we can’t seem to get functioning is simply because we don’t know the combination. There is one Universal Law that applies to everything in the physical universe, our bodies, our emotions, and our heart. Applying this one Universal Law in faith is the combination that opens everything. It is the most important law for establishing, guiding, and guarding our heart! Join me this week ...

1. Healing the Pain of Offenses

According to Jesus it is impossible to avoid offenses. An offense is the pain one feels after being insulted, judged, or criticized. It’s that feeling of being inadequate, unworthy, or unacceptable that we feel after a negative comment or a violation of our boundaries. Even though Jesus said they would come, He didn’t leave us helpless. Join me this week and we’ll begin to discover Jesus’ method for getting over offense from the past and preventing future offenses!

9. Moses, Faith and Wisdom

The children of Israel only desired to see God’s power i.e. His actions. They had a slave mentality. They had no sense of knowing God, like people who think like slaves, they just wanted the benefits. One distinguishing factor that set Moses apart was He wanted to know God’s ways. When we know one’s ways we know the person. Moses gained the wisdom of knowing His ways, which meant he knew God was trustworthy. Many believe seeing miracles will increase their faith, but that is rarely the case. Kno...

8. Faith and the Wisdom of God

Moses was a man who walked by incredible faith. He defied the most powerful ruler in the world. He motivated and led thousands of Israelites who had been slaves for hundreds of years. He set out to a land neither he nor the people had ever seen. And, he overcame natural obstacles. The secret to Moses’ faith is so simple we tend to overlook it. Join me this week and you’ll see why Moses had such great faith and how you too can have the very same kind of immovable confidence in God.

7. Wisdom and the Ways of God - Part 2

God’s wisdom never violates His character. That’s why the scripture says all His ways are perfect. Perfection has as much to do with the outcome as it does the journey.

Join me this week and we’ll discover how to always stay on the path of wisdom, which always leads to God’s quality of life!
