See, they'll talk about Him openly, boldly. Unbelievers are bold; they'll talk about Jesus all day irreverently. Isn't it time we quit choking on that name? http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/the-fire-is-not-in-the-fireworks-6718 2012-10-10T09:47:48-05:00 As you read about the people God uses in the Bible, there's a surprising reality. God usually does His most special things through people who have touched Him in the quiet: no band, no speaker, no choir, no excited crowd, no fireworks. The voice of God is more often in the silence than in the spectacular; in the solo times more than in the multitude. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/restless-for-the-gold-6707 2012-09-25T12:33:40-05:00 Revival - that's the spiritual gold that every healthy Christian is hungry for. It's that extraordinary, powerful, transforming visit of the Holy Spirit above and beyond our normal relationship with Him. That extra visit that gives a generation a taste of all God can do. I want revival. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/do-i-love-him-this-much-6621 2012-05-29T10:05:18-05:00 Music is often a separate compartment in many of our lives where we've put up a "No Trespassing" sign for Jesus. We say, "Well, that's just my entertainment." No! No, it's an important part of who you are. So important you won't let Jesus touch it. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/big-men-big-mistakes-6469 2011-11-03T14:17:28-05:00 God's made it clear "your sin will find you out." He loves you too much to let you keep getting away with what will ultimately destroy you. We have to build our walls high around the places where we're vulnerable. And fall to our knees in repentance where we've strayed out of bounds before any more damage is done. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/the-most-powerful-prayer-you-ll-ever-pray-6394 2011-08-08T11:41:59-05:00 get out of the way of what God wants to do through you. Sample His greatest power. It comes right after, "I give up." It could very well be the most powerful prayer you'll ever pray. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/dynamite-praying-5994 2010-01-05T15:42:05-05:00 Frankly, our prayers are often so small, so predictable, so unworthy of the great God with whom we're talking. When you pray to a very big God for very big things, beginning with big things to happen in you, prepare for something explosive to happen. That will be the sound of your God blowing the lid off things! http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jas.5.16&version=NIV 2009-07-16T16:02:35-05:00 According to James the prayer of a righteous man is both powerful and effective. We are to confess our sins to each other and to pray for each other in order that we might be healed. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Life-That-Matters/Radio-Program/Powerful-People-Dark-Secrets-8035 2008-07-24T17:19:10-05:00 This sense of being entitled to go out of bounds unfortunately isn’t just limited to powerful people. A lot of ordinary folks make that mistake as well; feeling that maybe they’re entitled to cut some corners morally, to get a little pleasure from some Internet porn, some excitement with someone other than my husband or wife, to get a little money I think I should have coming to me. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Life-That-Matters/Radio-Program/The-Passions-of-a-Powerful-Leader-8028 2008-06-13T13:59:28-05:00 Now there are two passions that drive a powerful leader; I saw it in the soccer game that day: target fixation and people priority. Relentlessly pursuing your goal, but never letting your goal be more important than people.
