He said, "If you ask anything in prayer, believe that you have received it..." Now, that's past tense. You haven't got it yet, but "believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." I have a Father who loves me and Who only says no if He's working on something that's for my good and better than I have asked for. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/you-can-t-see-them-but-they-re-holding-it-together-6537 2012-01-31T10:10:53-05:00 I hope you're in the category of God's unsung heroes. Oh, men may not know your name or the sacrifices you're making. Oh, but be sure God does. You may not feel like your role is important, but believe me like those women who supported Jesus' ministry, you're the foundation...you're the support beams. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/nuisance-or-need-6535 2012-01-30T14:38:05-05:00 That crying person, they're a wounded person. And you can be part of God's healing in that person's life. We're here to do what Jesus would do if He were here in person, and that means when others see a nuisance, you'll see a need and you'll do something about it. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/credit-card-follies-6531 2012-01-23T11:12:54-05:00 Since we can't see where choices lead until it's too late, do we live by the throw of the dice? Well, that's where the Bible comes in. It tells us where our decisions lead. When you sow to your sinful nature, it will destroy things. It's gonna happen! When you sow to things that please the Holy Spirit, you're going to reap things that will last forever. It's gonna happen! http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/rebel-with-the-cause-6528 2012-01-18T09:50:54-05:00 Before the wake-up call reaches our young people, we have to wake up first. To how we've failed to challenge them, to believe in them, to show them what God sees when He looks at them, as leaders who can be examples of the believer. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/the-leadership-lifestyle-6524 2012-01-12T11:42:32-05:00 God has called you to some measure of leadership and the responsible lifestyle that goes with that. I think that's an awfully powerful incentive to be all you were meant to be in Christ. It's a good thing; a good reason to live up to what Jesus wants all of His kids to live up to. But He has put trust in your hands. He's put His reputation in your hands. He has made His Kingdom vulnerable to you. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/the-effect-your-name-has-6521 2012-01-09T10:20:54-05:00 Your good name? Man, it's worth everything. Don't compromise it. Don't put a mark on anyone else's name either, because according to the Bible, if you've got a good name, you're a moral millionaire. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/swallowing-what-you-eat-6517 2012-01-04T10:53:03-05:00 Every day ask yourself the question, "What am I going to do because of what I read in the Bible?" And once you do that and start to make those changes, you are well on your way to an exciting new you; one day, one change at a time. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/the-gospel-according-to-the-birds-6513 2011-12-28T11:02:48-05:00 If the usual means of supply are cut off, God doesn't need those. It's been God that's been the source all along. He'll deliver it another way. He will feed you from His storeroom. If you don't believe me, just ask the birds. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/something-happens-when-you-have-to-speak-6498 2011-12-09T13:34:43-05:00 You may be in or you might be approaching a pressure situation where you feel inadequate to say what needs to be said. Well, Jesus said here, "Make up your mind not to worry about it." God wants to display His power by giving you words and wisdom that you don't even know you have.
