Let me tell you something that might go against what you’ve been taught: God doesn’t need your money. Malachi 3:8 says, “Will a mere mortal rob God? Yet you rob me. But you ask, ‘How are we robbing you?’ In tithes and offerings.” And, people interpret that the wrong way.

Several years ago, when I was facing some obstacles, I had a dream. I was standing in the desert and in front of me was a straight road surrounded by flat sand. God said, “Walk down the road.” So I began walking. Then, all of a sudden, huge cement barriers began to pop up here and there and completely block one side of the road or the other so that I had to dodge them as I walked. Then, someone came up behind me and put a blindfold on me. I said, “How am I going to walk ...

It’s an amazing privilege to get to hear and see the promises of God in people’s lives. I love it. I love to hear how lives have been changed, bodies have been healed, marriages and families have been restored, and finances have been fixed. And, I love to hear how quickly it can happen.  

People are always looking for peace.   There’s the mom whose kids keep fighting, the businessman with the unstable career, the young woman on anti-depressants, the teenage boy on drugs, the couple that can’t ever agree on their finances, the grandmother who can’t sleep at night because she’s worrying about her family—they’re all hungry for peace.   The world is hungry for peace.  

“This job is killing me!”   “I don’t think we’re ever going to get ahead.”   “I’ll just be on medication for the rest of my life.”   Take a few minutes to think about what has come out of your mouth in the last 24 hours.  

You know, when you read the Bible you don’t find Jesus praying to God to heal people. No. Jesus had been given the authority. He acted on His Father’s behalf with power and demonstration.   Look at Matthew 8. Jesus went to Peter’s house and saw Peter’s mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever. He touched her hand and the fever left her. Then she got up and started to wait on Him.  

As human beings, we get upset at injustice. If you’re like me, something in you rises up when you see something unfair happening, or you see someone hurt. Movies and television play on that. The most popular movies and shows are about good vs. evil. Detective and police shows like CSI, and old shows like Perry Mason and Murder She Wrote are hugely popular because people love to see justice served. It’s a natural instinct.  

 Have you heard about Paul’s “thorn in the flesh?” Did someone tell you that God did that to him? Well, let me tell you something that might shock you—God didn’t give Paul this problem, and it wasn’t about sickness.   See, Paul was stepping in huge revelations and Satan hated it. So, Satan came immediately for the Word. The thorn in the flesh was an irritation that Paul kept coming up against. He was encountering resistance in his efforts to ...

We need to rewire the way we think.   We have toxic emotions and we use toxic words, and both begin with toxic thoughts. We have to get it straight. We have to stop allowing the enemy to steal our identity, our value, and our dreams.  

I received a big box from Montana this week. In it was an antelope head. Yes, I said antelope head.   Last year at this time, a group of guys up there asked me to come teach, and hunt. They had gotten a hold of my book Faith Hunt and they wanted to learn the principles and see them in action. So, I went up there to teach and then we went hunting the next day for antelope.
