NUMBER 9 KNOW A NEW VIEW OF A NEW YOU

Dear Friends,
At best people only see a glimpse of themselves for fleeting moments as they rush through life.
Maybe it is when they first wake up in the morning. It could be during a church service or a conversation when a light bulb goes off on the inside of the person God made you to be.
A 300 pound man said he had to change the way he saw himself in the reflections on the street windows before he could experience thinness in his life. In other words, you have to see it before you can be it.

Physiologists say it takes 21 days of new activity to create a new habit. Benjamin Franklin had 13 habits he worked on to have a better life but never more than 3 at any time.

I recommend for 21 days you just work on one. Work on seeing what God sees when He looks at you. Let us change the way we see ourselves in the light of what Jesus has done for us. Paul said:

“I am crucified with Christ nevertheless I live, yet not I but Christ in me.”

Spend less time thinking of your ability, your appearance, your behavior and your condition. Think about the unlimited one in you.

1 John 4:17
“Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world.”

Our standing in the world is identical with Christ’s. We should live every day with the greatest of confidence. Our standard is Jesus. He never ran from a problem. He never cowered in fear. He never avoided a need.
I am as He is in this world. Make this something to know and enjoy before you die.

Blessings,

My Friends,
What takes us from average to exceeding? What unlocks your secret potential that you feel?
I was on the phone with an old friend yesterday and she said that she is as excited with her new job prospect as when she first entered business 30 years ago. A vision of the future really touched her inner person.
Let me give you one idea that will unlock a value you have. You are important by the mere fact that you exist on the earth. God could reach people. He could preach to people but He will not. He gets pleasure by seeing His redeemed do it. Your value to others is priceless. When the apostle Paul had lost all hope of life an Angel appeared to him with a purpose.

Acts 27:23
For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee. Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.

Friends, you have Caesars to speak to. They may look ordinary to you but God sees them as important people and you carry the life to them.

Number 7: KNOW THE WILL OF GOD FOR YOUR LIFE

Good Friends,
There are simple things that each of us should discover while we are on the earth.

We have discussed topics such as having one answer to prayer, seeing one person receive Christ, having one day of a limitless life, etc, etc. Today, we look at the thought that crosses everyone’s mind: “Am I in the will of God?”

Some simple steps to God’s best for your life are not as hard as you might think. First, ask yourself as you make a decision: “IS IT GOOD FOR GOD, IS IT GOOD FOR OTHERS, IS IT GOOD FOR MYSELF.” This will help you as you choose from the multitude of options in life. Second, ask what biblical framework makes your choice a good one.

1 John 5:13
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

To do the will of God, you will want God to confirm your choices so the knowledge of His written guidance is important. There are many things you can know the answer to before you even consider if it is God’s will by simply being familiar with His words, His character, and His example in Jesus.

By reading the book we understand that there are two things He will never answer.

Reading the Bible

He will not give us what He has already given us. Also, He will not do for us what He has told us to do.
This is plenty to think about and discover before you die.

On the ladder that takes us from survival to stability to success to significance there are times when the fact that you are standing is a sign of your success. We pray for all of you to stay strong and standing as the dust settles around you.
I am writing from Tulsa with good news. A partner here in Tulsa has two generators available for the 100 Tent Project and a partner in Chicago has graciously offered to ship them to the staging area for the next shipment to Russia.
One is a 5kw, the other is 7kw.
Our friends and partners are our heroes. They have made a lot happen this year! Our International director has just relocated to the USA. We are building our first tents!

Making 1st tent in Tent Factory

We dedicated our tent in Mongolia and trained the Mongolian Outreach team just last month.

Setting up tent in Mongolia

Our facility in Russia is moving forward with great progress.
We held our Evangelists training in our new facility where we are also building our tents! Outreaches and training in Argentina, Mexico City and Guatemala produce wonderful results.

Drs Kevin and Leslie McNulty ministering in Argentina

Right now we are in Tulsa for discussions with DR. TL Osborn and a contingency from India!

God has stretched every last dollar over the summer months and somehow we have conducted 6 major events in the last 4 months. Through the Grace of God, support of our partners and the national churches of these regions we have prevailed!

Bless you all.

NUMBER 5: PASS IT ON

My Friends,
You can bless people with your resources and it will help them. You can bless them with your time and it will endear them. You can bless them with your friendship and it will strengthen them but your greatest blessing to your friends, family, community and world are your words.

Know the feeling of seeing someone else saved by hearing you. You have been given the most precious message that will ever exist on the earth: The Gospel. It meets the need of every person you will ever meet. It is the foolishness of speaking this Gospel that causes men to be saved.

Before you die see a person transformed by the precious words you have been given. Their joy will be your joy for eternity.

1 Corinthians 1:21
For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.

Below is a picture of an unemployed drunken Muslim who responded to Gospel in Astana. He told an amazing story of his quick life turn around with new job, new freedom, new family restoration and his mother also being healed of cancer in 48 hour period of time.

I was in Moscow this past winter after the record setting freezing temperatures froze the pipes of the heater units and caused a real flood as well as a dangerous freeze inside. Our director had a good idea of an old iron gas heater in the center of the main room to warm up the house until we could replace the whole system. The heater had to turned off at night and the first thought in the morning was how to get the heater going. A little spark is all it took and everyone would gather round until the heat moved out.

Friends, Don’t start your day without the spark. Yesterday’s spark will not do. The fire has to rekindled every morning. What is that spark to you? You probably know how to find that Java stimulant for your body but it might take a little more time to spark the divine impulse within you that will lift you to deal with the day’s issues. When you’re warm then everybody around you gets to enjoy the warmth.

2 tim 1:6 Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

2 peter 3:11 Beloved, I now write to you this second epistle (in both of which I stir up your pure minds by way of reminder), that you may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior

Blessings,
Dr. Kevin

When we discover that life is more than just survival then ideas start to come. Discovering that Life is more than just stability stirs a person to a higher goal. Understanding that Life is more than just success brings a person to their ultimate destiny. Jesus gives opportunity to each life to discover significance but it will take your best.

What brings out your best?

There are 3 things that will bring you to your best self. We see this in the life training of Peter by Jesus. Peter had 3 encounters that made him the leader of the emerging church.

First, Peter was given an invitation. Jesus called him out to follow Him. Notice that all the people Jesus called out were busy doing something. Put your hand to something and begin the journey. Your Best starts with a decision. Peter had to respond to Jesus invitation. To reach for your best will require you to let go of lesser things. Jesus introduces new possibilities.

2nd, Peter was given a revelation.

matt 16:17
“Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 18And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”

You reach uncommon goals by have uncommon insights. Peter was given a glimpse of how the kingdom of God on earth was going to work. It was a revelation that Jesus could build on.

3rd Peter was given forgiveness. After his denial at the trial of Jesus he abandoned ministry and went back to fishing. Jesus appeared to him and restored him to relationship. Friends, never let your own failings stop you from receiving what you need from God to reach your potential.

john 21:15
It grieved Peter that Jesus asked him the third time, “Am I dear to you?” “Master,” he replied, “you know everything, you can see that you are dear to me.”
“Then feed my much-loved sheep,” said Jesus. “In most solemn truth I tell you that whereas, when you were young, you used to put on your girdle and walk whichever way you chose, when you have grown old you will stretch out your arms and some one else will put a girdle round you and carry you where you have no wish to go.

Blessings,
Dr. Kevin

I’m attending a leadership conference here in USA while Leslie is conducting one in Mongolia with the leaders of that ancient culture. It is challenging as perceptions of Christianity are distorted by time.
Finding the bridge into a heart and the words that connect people in every culture is a miracle in itself.

While training the Erdenet team, Dr. Leslie asked the young people about sharing their faith in Mongolia. These young people told how the Mongolians consider Christianity a religion of the white people and question why they should leave the roots of their ancient Buddhism for a very young European faith.

What most people do not know is that the faith of the Nestorian Christians existed in this nation just a few centuries after Christ’s death. Missionaries carried their faith all the way from Rome to the far reaches of China, Mongolia, Central Asia and even Japan.

Every Christian is called to leadership in their world. We set the example with our words, actions and attitudes that lead people to the unseen strength that we have. What are we to consider when we evaluate our present Leader value. Ask ourselves what do we talk about ? What do we pray about? What do we cheer about? This will help us to locate if we are helping people to be their best.

Blessings,
Dr. Kevin

It was 1979 that i ministered in Spain for 3 months as the first foreign soil to be on with the Gospel.
In reflecting on the experience and how it shaped my mindset for years to come, I would say that I saw the condition of humans in a new light. I was full of zeal for God and happy to know at least that I was going to Heaven. What slapped me across the face was a reality check that people were dead while alive. We would call that a zombie. They walked. They talked. They ate and drank but had no life. They had a title for religion but few even practiced that.

All seemed to be void of spirituality with no thought for things of the heart other then fulfilling immediate passions. I was moved with compassion for the world and decided to follow my heart in a quest to bring life to a dying world. A great inspiration to me is this verse:

Jesus said: Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live( John 5:25)

Friends, if there is no spark in your heart, twinkle in your eye or hop in your step you might be dying.. The new life God is offering every human brings dead dreams back to life. Dead hopes begin to invigorate you again and dead formality is replaced by happy laughter.

Come back to life and hear His word again.

Blessings,
Dr. Kevin

It was 1979 that I ministered in Spain for 3 months as the first foreign soil to be on with the Gospel. It was a wonderful season of running with the bulls of Pamplona and walking across the mountain ranges of the north as well as tent ministry in Madrid.

I was full of zeal for God and happy to know at least that I was going to Heaven. What slapped me across the face was a reality check that people were dead while alive. We would call that a zombie.
