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.

Dear Friends,

It’s hard to pick a top ten that affects everyone but I decided that money affects everyone so it should be in the top ten things to know before you die. WE PUT IT AT NUMBER 8. In the finance world we know that a teenager can become a millionaire if he just puts 5 dollars a week into an average investment consistently until age 65. That is the miracle of compound interest.

Does God have a miracle plan for your finances as well? The Barna study says that 96% of Christians do not tithe (10%) so only 4% believe God is intimately involved in their finances. Why is this real testing ground for people? Jesus said: WHERE YOUR TREASURE IS ALSO IS WHERE YOUR HEART IS. Did you know that OVER 2000 scriptures relate to money? Truly it is a revelation as much as heaven’s salvation or divine healing. It is wonderful that God causes increase in your personal wealth. Make it a quest to grasp how God and your money can be a mighty force on the earth and a positive eternal benefit to your future.

Proverbs 11:24
There is one who scatters, yet increases more;
And there is one who withholds more than is right,
But it leads to poverty. The generous soul will be made rich,
And he who waters will also be watered himself.”

Luke 6:38
“Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.”

“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.” Matthew 6:21

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 6: KNOW THE LIMITLESS LIFE

Most people as they reach their 60’s and 70’s have a certain amount of regret of things they did not do or see or have that they wanted out of life. They reflect on the limitations they had that stopped them.

When we see the life of Jesus we do not see any limitation. He experienced the unbelief of those around Him. One day we all will see Jesus face to face in a place of unimaginable glory and abundance. When He was on Earth He carried Himself like He had access to all of Heaven. When Jesus walked on the earth He spoke, acted, and experienced life at a level that brought a marvel to those around Him. They said:”

What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!” Matthew 8:27

Jesus was God but He put off His God rights and did nothing on earth that a human could not do. He clothed Himself in Humanity to be our model. He became the standard for the New Restored man that would be made right with God by His substitutionary death.
This limitless life is what He is encouraging you and me to experience now.
He says:

“All things are possible to him that believeth.”

He encourages us to pray our desires and expect them to happen.

“Listen to me! You can pray for anything, and if you believe, you will have it.” Mark 11:23″ NL Bible

Before you die, dare to think limitless in some area of your life. Understand that there is more to you than meets the eye. Jesus saw the real person you were to become.

“But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit you are of.” Luke 9:55

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.

4TH THING: THE 6TH SENSE.

All people are well aware of developing their 5 senses. From a child we become proficient at using these senses that connect us with the seen world.

Some become greatly skilled at one or more but have we developed our 6th sense? With this sense we touch the unseen realm. With the 6th sense we see what others cannot see and expect what others think is impossible.

It is the FAITH Sense. Jesus encouraged people to use this sense. He said “Only Believe”. All things are possible to those who believe. The unseen God is a Faith God. Without using Faith we cannot please Him but IT IS POSSIBLE for all to please Him. Your Heart knows things your hands, taste, eyes, ears, or smell cannot understand. Before you die, make sure you see at least one miracle but really go for it and see one a day.

Below is a picture of a lady who was in a wheelchair for 40 years.

Then one evening in the tent she decided she had enough of that chair and walked out of it in Kyrgyzstan.

3rd thing you need to know before you die is YOU ARE CREATED IN GOD’S IMAGE.

The tennis player Andre Agassi did a camera commercial with theme “image is everything”. In a spiritual sense He was right.

When you understand your origins in God’s image then you will not want to walk or talk or act any other way than who you really are. You are lifted up to a noble future because you are born of the highest nobility. Your past as a child of the Creator guarantees your future as a high ambassador of the value, esteem, and dignity He has provided for every Human. Below is a picture of Leslie with a pygmy of Congo.

It is not the size of the container but the architect who created it that gives it precious worth.

1 Corinthians 1:27

Isn’t it obvious that God deliberately chose men and women that the culture overlooks and exploits and abuses, chose these “nobodies” to expose the hollow pretensions of the “somebodies”?
That makes it quite clear that none of you can get by with blowing your own horn before God.
Everything that we have—right thinking and right living, a clean slate and a fresh start—comes from God by way of Jesus Christ.
That’s why we have the saying,

“If you’re going to blow a horn, blow a trumpet for God.”

Jesus is the express image of God. That means that we have an example, a model, a standard that we can follow as those also created in God’s image. It’s when you believe this that life takes on new meaning. Your eyes are lifted up to see more than you thought possible. You have the limitations of this world removed from your thinking and your heart. You identify more with the miracle worker than one receiving the miracle.

Go For It!

NUMBER 2: JESUS HAS ALL POWER AND HE IS WITH YOU.

You may not feel powerful. You may be touched by sickness, poverty, confusion, or broken relationships. Even in the worst of Human conditions know that Jesus said after His resurrection:

“All power is given unto me in Heaven and in Earth”

Matthew 28:18.

Then He promised that He would be with them unto the ends of the Earth. In 60 nations we have seen Him demonstrate His power and show His presence. He still is all powerful and all present to those who call to Him.

Below is photo of lady who was deaf and rejoicing that her last years would not be in silence.

She was deaf but now can hear!
