One of the most powerful ways to move forward in life is to develop good routines. In consistency is the power of God to see the miraculous. The weakness of routine is that what started out as a positive productive time that would inspire you to finish what is in your heart becomes a duty, obligation and excuse for why things are not progressing. I just returned from Washington D.C. today where we were exploring new systems and trends that will make the new World Headquarters integrated and effective in fulfilling both the Global thrust of the ministry as well as the 100 tent project in the former Soviet Union. It proved to be both stimulating and instructive to study with a different group of people.
If you find yourself in a rut it could be that your good routine has gotten mindless. What is one of the ways to finding inspiration in the same work? Change your environment where you work. You probably can’t go off to another city but you can change the look of place where you are. Go home a different way. Have a cup of coffee at a different shop. God has put an infinite variety of change in the world so you could live with a WOW wherever you are. Find your dream in your routines and you will miss the ruts. I remember when I pastored several years ago, the church had a troubled past that gave it a bleeding heart and angry disposition. I found my inspiration for preparing Sunday’s messages by going to the next college town to review my notes among the young and hopeful people. Just their presence inspired me to expect the best of the church. Find your Mojo in your world.
Every Runner knows the feeling of his legs weakening and the fire
creeping into his calf as he or she presses further than the body wants to
go. It also is a wonderful feeling to sense new energy flow where strength
was lost. We all are running our own race and each of us can experience a
victory as we cross the finish line of what race we entered when we picked
up the signal to follow Christ. I want you to know that the fix is in. Jesus
set the race knowing your ability to run it and decided to run it with you
so when you need a push He is there with a helping hand.
“‘Know ye not that they which run in a race run all,
but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.”
1 Corinthians 9:24
We are out here in Phoenix, Arizona catching a second wind in our race as Faith
Family Church has infused the 100 Tent Project with support to put a vital
piece of machinery into operation before the month is done. As we see the
breath of God breathe on this vital project here in America, we also are aware
of a new gathering of Eagles across the former Soviet Union that now are
gathering in Moscow with over 40 new regions wanting to be trained and
wanting to launch a new evangelist. I feel the Second Wind to complete this
race for souls through open air tent evangelism in the Regions beyond. 70 new
tents will make history and write a new chapter in the book of Acts for our
generation.
There are windows - moments of opportunity that pass our way and the key to passing through those moments of opportunity is simply acting by FAITH!
Just last night we experienced one of those MOMENTS! As Kevin was speaking, I saw a glimpse in the spirit of something that God wanted to do! A little mini-vision flashed before my eyes. I had no idea that when I responded to the mini-vision; it would open a window into the spirit world that would have an entire congregation on their knees interceding for the Harvest of Eurasia. We were all swept up into what God had ordained for that moment. I must tell you; however, I did not hear a loud voice from heaven speak. I JUST SAW A PICTURE BUT - IT WAS ENOUGH OF A PICTURE TO ANCHOR MY FAITH AND TO ACT ON! The service went much longer than a typical mid-week service - yet when we all awoke this morning we were renewed, refreshed and reinvigorated with GOD’S LIFE! HIS purposes had been accomplished! New alliances were forged. New plans were birthed by the Spirit of God and thousands of souls that stood in the balance will now have another opportunity to hear the Good News!
I want to challenge you to trust God - dare to do something out of the ordinary TODAY! Act on His promptings and let new windows of Grace manifest in your life!

Imagine after 10 long years of pursuit and passion in fulfilling a dream, you’ve reached your goal. YET YOU KNOW IT’S NOT your destination. As long as we are alive on this earth we will be challenged to love more, reach more, touch more and help more hurting people! We’re not up for retirement but we are up for refirement! We’re not seeking refinement. It’s the natural bi-product of pursuing Christ with a passion to help people! Paul said forgetting those things which are behind. In other words, forgetting what I have already achieved, forgetting failures, no longer leaning on yesterday’s struggles or victories - I PRESS on to the high-calling of Jesus Christ. HE IS CALLING US UPWARD - ON TO GREATER HEIGHTS!
When I hear this challenge in the SPIRIT - I KNOW IT IS TIME TO PUT ON MY RUNNING SHOES. If your shoes are dusty, laying on the closet shelf - I challenge you to pull them out - slide them on - stretch out and get prepared because the road ahead is calling YOU!
In a healthy discussion with Pastor Darrel last week we talked about the attributes of God and how this question is a subtle but great divider in the Body of Christ. It will help you to know the answer.
If you answered yes to the question then you have answered wrong.
It is obvious that there are some things God cannot do.
Scripture says God Cannot Lie (Titus 1:2)
Scripture says God Cannot Die (Rev 1:8)
Scripture says God Cannot violate his Word (Ps 138:2)
David spoke: I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth: for thou has magnified thy word above all thy name. (Ps 130:2)
Why is it important to know that God cannot change his Word even if He wanted to? Because it points out how your free will can even override God’s will. God does not will that any man be lost yet it is clear that many will find themselves in Hell even though it was not God’s will. If God’s will not override your free will in this choice then He will not override your will in other choices that affect your life. He sets before us the blessing and the curse and encourages us to choose the blessing but He is a gentleman who does not override your free will. Choose today to be an influence for good in the earth. Choose today to reach for the goals in your heart. He and a host of angels will help you in what you have chosen.
Speak the positive promises He has put in His word and He is obligated to His word to make those beautiful promises a reality for you. Why? One translation says “Because your promises are backed by all the honor of your name.”
Welcome back for more words of inspiration from the desk of Miracle evangelistDr. Kevin McNulty as he continues to explore the dynamic force within us called FAITH!
You could say it is a verb, not a noun. It is moving and energetic only as it is used. Sentences without verbs would be as boring as reading stat sheets without analysis!
Faith is thought by some to be needed for the poor, but the opposite is true. It is the rich and famous that use it. It is heard in the voices of those who believe all things are possible. It is not seen in the docile, but in those who take a stand and press through obstacles and storms that are designed to stop you from fulfilling your destiny.
Faith is evidenced in those who know what God has provided and take it. It is not a faith that waits. Jesus developed a reputation for being a supply when no one else could. His disciples could not feed the 5,000 men plus women and children. But His faith broke the bread and broke the power of lack by tapping into God’s supply.
They said of Him like they will say of you, “What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?” (Mark 4:41 KJV) Jesus challenged His followers two thousand years ago to step up into the boat and speak to things like that storm that everybody is hiding from. Now you step up and speak! Start demonstrating the lifestyle of the rich and famous!
One of the real challenges that stands as a mountain before a person is the delay of their dreams. It is difficult for people to deal with time. They expect solutions instantly. They want it now, not five minutes from now!
This time expectation is most acute and unique to American society. They are inventors of fast food because it is believed that fast is always better! Now let me help you understand time. God has no time frame that controls Him. The whole spectrum of time is always laid before Him, so He does not experience time as a limiter.
Faith is what He has given us to enter into the reality that He lives in.
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Heb 11:1 KJV
Faith is the quality of a human being that allows us to see and be happy about our answer now. We are not waiting for the physical manifestation to be happy or fulfilled or confident. We enjoy what we believe as if we had the things we believe for now in our possession. What does this do for us?
It puts ETERNITY INTO OUR HEART!
What we have received as our inheritance from God is now ours. Get happy about it and you will see it!
There is a fish in Brazil that has a set of bifocals for eyes. This fish skims the water’s surface in search of bugs above and beneath the waterline.
Man lost his bifocals in the Garden of Eden when Adam and Eve broke fellowship with God by their sin. Heaven and earth used to be so connected that Adam could walk with God in the cool of the day anytime. Adam could see Heaven while walking on earth!
Jesus told us to pray to our Father that thy Kingdom come on earth as it is in Heaven. Jesus reconnected the two realities when He breathed on believers His breath of life. We now enjoy the same life that God put in Adam. Now you and I can see both realms at the same time!
Jesus seated us next to God in Heaven’s chair in Himself so we can get a close view of God. When we see God up close, then God becomes bigger than the earth and all the mountains that might stand in your view.
Put on these bifocals and enjoy the view as you swim through this ocean of experience on planet earth!
Many dismiss their dreams because they dismiss themselves. Many do not value their dreams because they do not value themselves. Moses, at one time, had a dream of delivering his people. But time and failure ripped it from his heart. God resurrected it, but Moses still had to fight with his own self-image and asked that Aaron be the spokesman because He stuttered. Gideon was called a mighty man of valor by the angel, but saw himself as the lowest man of the lowest tribe of Israel. Jeremiah was called to proclaim to the king the destiny of the nation, but he felt handicapped by his youth.
Do not let life, people, failure, or your present condition keep you from the seed of a dream in your heart!
The only one who has no dream is the devil. He does not wake up excited. He never wakes up thinking of building something. He never considers improving, loving, or growing anything. Why not? He has no future. The devil is a loser. He is limited. He is a liar!
You have a great future with unlimited faith, potential, and truth to fall back on in tough times.God has plans for you. ( Jer 29:11-14 ) Grab hold of the little thought tugging at your heart of what you would like to see or have happen in your life. When you read what the Lord says about you in the Bible, something will ignite on the inside.
It does not matter how bad your past is. You might say your sins are as dark as mud, but even a glass of mud will be drinkable if you keep pouring clean, fresh water into it. Remember that even a field of weeds will produce corn if you start putting new seeds into the soil
Yours in Global Harvest
Dr. Kevin McNulty
Global evangelist and Co-founder of the Eurasian 100-Tent Project
Thank you for returning for an inspiring message from Miracle Evangelist Dr. Kevin McNulty as he asks this question today: Does God the Father sit alone in Heaven?
The real story is that He is not alone at all. Not only are there a Heavenly host of angels around him but a great crowd of saints, as well. However, there is one invited guest who rarely enjoys the festivities or the fellowship of Heaven. Do you know who that invited guest would be?
It is you!
Scripture tells us that we are seated together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. (Eph 1:6) You might think that is a future reality that someday your physical body will be there. But it also is a present reality that will help you greatly as you navigate the tribulations on this earth.
Our position in Christ is secure. It is when we look at ourselves from His perspective that we rise above the mountains and enemies before us. Jesus is waiting for us to put them beneath our feet. I am told that He prepares a table before me in the presence of my enemies. (Ps 23:5) He is now calling you and I to sit at that table to enjoy what He has put on it for us.
We need to get comfortable in our Heavenly Chair so we can be comfortable in our earthly chair in front of our enemies. How is that possible? When Jesus was walking down the road one day with His disciples He asked them who people thought He was. (Mt 16:19) They answered many things: from teacher to prophet to good man. But when Jesus pressed further into their beliefs, Peter responded that He was the Christ, the Son of the living God. Jesus opened up a new world to Peter once He saw that Peter had this belief.
If you want to enjoy Heaven’s table of blessing, it must begin with this revelation of Jesus. The Christ was God on earth. God with man. Now Jesus could talk differently to Peter. First He said that flesh and blood has not revealed this but the Father above.
We pride ourselves in the amount of knowledge we can accumulate today. Knowledge used to double every few generations, but now it doubles every few years. In all that knowledge we can lose the few truths that really transform us. Truth that the Father reveals to us and not man. As soon as Peter got this revelation of who Jesus really was, then Jesus immediately gave him a revelation of who himself Peter was.
Jesus changed his name from Simon to Peter so Peter would see himself differently and then began to reveal the new authority that Peter would have because of knowing who Jesus was. Whatever he bound on Earth would be bound in Heaven. Whatever He loosed on earth would be loosed in Heaven. It looks like He had a place in Heaven’s chair and could exercise the authority of this new position on Earth. He was given the keys of Heaven’s authority because He now sat in Heaven’s chair.
Friends, you now sit in Heavenly places with these same keys. Pull your chair up to the table and eat of the goodness of God on Earth in the midst of your enemies.
Yours in World Harvest;
Dr. Kevin McNulty
