Win a few lose a few

Linda and I were given some gift certificates to go shopping at the Canal Shoppes at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas. Sounds like a dream but it was reality. The gift certificates were for merchandise, not gambling. ?We happened to be in going to Los Angeles anyway so we…

The King, a coma and an angel

Oh man I had a great weekend in the San Francisco bay area. I used to live there so it was my first time to speak in San Mateo in 7 years. After 3 meetings in 2 days I was pretty tired as I drove from Santa Rosa back to…

What is a Scribe Angel anyway?

We had a rainy New Year on the mountain but the sun finally came out. Christmas and holidays are nice, visiting friends and all but it is nice to get back in the swing of things. ?I spent my time between Christmas and New years writing and finishing up a…

What I really want for Christmas

Its Christmas Eve and we are home on the mountain for the next week. I woke up this morning feeling the presence of God very strong in our cabin and it made me think about what I really want for Christmas. Besides a replacement for my Starsky and Hutch leather…

Change your thinking and change your life

I just returned from an intensive training on transforming your destiny. I feel like I made 10 years worth of growth in 6 days. The biggest thing I learned was that you can turn any situation around by simply changing the way you respond to it. It may sound elementary…

11 + 11 = Destiny

Linda and I celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary this past weekend. Wow, time flies when you are having fun. We spent a quiet weekend in Asheville, NC. Just 11 years ago I was working as a computer network engineer in the San Francisco bay area and doing ministry in the…

Show that you love me Lord and buy the next round

I used to go out and party a lot in my younger years. Although I no longer indulge in it, I am not opposed to people drinking as long as?it?is in moderation. I was an alcoholic beginning at age 14. If there was a quota for the amount of alcohol…

Signs and Wonders and Sarah

I was in a restaurant recently with a group of people. As usual, I like to practice getting something from God and share it with the server. I asked if anyone at the table had anything but?they all had blank faces. I looked at the waitress and the name Sarah…

Coffee shops of Amsterdam

We had 2 days off in Amsterdam. We went for walks along the canals and had lunch in nice smoke-filled cafes. I was surprised to find that the nation?s?main vegetable is Fries. It was not easy to be on a low carb diet there. I stopped drinking espresso last year…

Starsky & Hutch in Norway

Still on our European tour. We just finished the weekend in Norway training a small group in Tromso. I had no idea that we were going to be near the Artic Circle. My?1970's Starsky and Hutch California leather jacket just would not do.?Tromso is farther north than 80% of Alaska.…

Trances and good tea?

We just finished the God in the Streets conference with Mark Stibbe and Patricia King in Chorleywood, England. It has been a lot of fun and we learned how to brew a proper cup of tea. I noticed that the tea is exceptionally good in England. Even the Tetley tea…

Pip-pip cheerio and all that rot

I just found out that the majority of my ancestors on both my mother and father?s side are from England. Linda and I are in London and Surrey, England for over a week training people in dream interpretation and speaking at various churches. I got to speak at St Mary?s…

Building your house on solid ground
Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. Matthew 7:24–25 NIV [Tweet "Jesus tells us that if we put the Word of God into practice, the things we do will withstand the storms."] Jesus tells us that if we put the Word of God into practice, the things we do will withstand the storms.
The Lord wants you to be blessed to be a blessing
But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today. Deuteronomy 8:18 NIV It is the Lord’s will for you to be blessed, make money and in some cases, produce wealth to be a blessing. Somehow, the spirit of poverty came into the lives of Christians. [Tweet "We need to break out of the spirit of poverty and lack and step up to be a blessing."] We need to break out of the spirit of poverty and lack and step up to be a blessing.
True wealth is not money
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Matthew 6:21 NIV
- True riches is a relationship with God our Father through Jesus (Colossians 2:2–3).
- True wealth is found in the greatest commandment of love (Matthew 22:36–40).
- Being rich is not the size of your bank account (Romans 14:17).
- As we get healed of the issues of our soul, the Lord can trust us with true wealth —spiritually (gifts and anointing) and financially.
Money can be dangerous
We need to:
- make sure our heart is in the right place—God will test our motives
- get rid of greed
- deal with overspending and addictions
- break out of a poverty mindset and realize that “with God all things are possible”
- let go of the guilt that says we cannot serve God and have money
- discover the healthy balance that God intended us to have regarding money
- expand our possibilities and get creative so we can change the world with God’s love!
Money is not evil
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. 1 Timothy 6:10 NIV One side of money is poverty, living a life where God’s grace is sufficient. The other side is getting caught up in the love of money and being motivated by greed and idolatry. We need to break the spirit of pride, poverty, greed and Mammon (serving money). [Tweet "We need to break the spirit of pride, poverty, greed and Mammon (serving money). "] We can live a balanced life, free and clean so God can use us to bless others.
Understanding biblical principles
There are principles that run throughout the Bible. These principles are not rules. They are laws of the Spirit or ways of the Spirit.
- It’s better to give than to receive.
- You must give to receive.
- Whatever you sow you reap.
- The last will be first.
- Be humble and God will exalt you.
- Love your enemies.
Principles of the Bible work no matter who uses them. Many worldly teachings, coaching and business strategies pull on these principles, but they take out the life source. [Tweet "A personal relationship with the Lord and the power of the Holy Spirit bring them to life."] A personal relationship with the Lord and the power of the Holy Spirit bring them to life.
The most powerful principle is love
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’... And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Matthew 22:37-–40 NIV Jesus referred to this as the Greatest Commandment. It is not just love in general, but the love triune ... Love God, love your neighbor, love yourself! As you bring these under the Lordship of Jesus, you will come into agreement with Heaven. This is the secret to health and wealth, and everything flows through this.
The principle of giving
Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Luke 6:38 NIV Giving is the doorway to receiving, but there is more to this message. The Lord wants you to give of your time, money, love and attention. You will need to give money such as tithes and offerings, but in the new global economy you can ask the Lord where to give.
Do not be afraid
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.
