Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - God's Strange Road to Power - #4793
before there can be the conquest of the Jericho that looms before you right now, there must be the conquest of you. God allows things into our life that will bring us to the end of ourselves where all your experience, and your talent, your wisdom, your connections, and your persuasion are useless in getting an answer. God has brought you to this moment of total helplessness, not so you would give up, but so you would give over the controls to Him totally, unconditionally.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Winning the Fight Before it Begins - #4829
It's not what personality we book for the meeting, or the promotion, or the politics of having the right connections, or excellent planning, or a great program. There's no power in any of those by themselves. The power is in prayer - in God's people praying down the power and blessing of God as they boldly go into the Throne Room of the one who rules the galaxies.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - All the Good Stuff You're Missing - #4833
Imagine all the resources of God Himself downloadable by you - His wisdom for your questions, His power for your difficulties, His love for your lonely times, His peace for your troubled times. We don't have to live like these stressed out, strung out, weighed down people we often are! Dry bread crusts when we've got all the resources of God at our disposal!

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Pace Car In Every Race - #4147
Now our word for today from the Word of God goes back to the dawn of all human relationships and the birth of the family, and it reveals who God considers the pace car in life's races. Genesis 3:6 - "When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it." Here, in this awful moment, sin and death enter the world as Adam and Eve trespass the clear boundaries of God.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Illusion Of Control - #4155
For many of us, life is pretty much like driving one of those amusement park race cars. We hold onto the wheel tightly, trying to be in control, thinking we are in control. Refusing to relinquish control. News Flash: it's an illusion. See, we're little masses of protoplasm on this little dirt ball called earth in a sea of billions of galaxies. But we still hang on tightly to our little steering wheel, shouting, "I'm in control!" Until God allows one of those things into our life that shatters our illusion and exposes the truth.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Moving to Higher Ground - #4860
Life's floods come in many forms; those major crises or disasters that carry away much of what we had been depending on. An illness maybe or a death can do that, a divorce can do it, a disaster, a broken relationship, the loss of your job. There are many upheavals that come rushing in and they change the landscape forever. And they make you think, maybe for the first time, about where is the best place to build the rest of your life.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Geography of Power - #4878
So are you praying like you are with an awesome, all-powerful God? Or are you, like too many of us, under-praying? And over-worrying, over-scheming, praying too often as a last resort or an afterthought, or praying for just man-sized things; praying these safe, small, predictable prayers. Listen, you have access to the power but you're trying to figure it out in your little office down the hall!

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Prince Caspian-The Strange Credentials of a Leader - #8073
A first step to a life that matters and to powerful leadership is the admission you can’t do it; you’re not enough. That’s when God is free to pour out His competence, His wisdom, His leadership.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Super-Sized Praying - #4173
Now, at the fast food restaurant, you know they'll ask you if you want to "super-size" your fries or your drink - you know, go for something bigger. I think it's time we "super-size" the way we pray - in light of the size of the One we are praying to! He's the God who invites us to "come boldly to the throne of grace." (Hebrews 4:16) That's the throne room from which 125 billion galaxies are governed! Do you pray like that?

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Surprising Secret of a Real Man - #4176
Virtually every guy has been told some where in his life, "Be a man!" But by whose definition? Is it your biceps that make you a man, your bank account, your bedroom exploits, being the boss? If you want to know what manhood is really all about, consult the Inventor of manhood - God. If you go by His definition, you get Designer Manhood - and that's the real thing.
