Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - You Built it - He Starts it - #4582
You can create the conditions in which God can spark revival. You can prepare it. He says humble yourself. That means bringing yourself to Him; asking Him to bring you into a total sense of dependency on Him - a sense of personal powerlessness.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Don't Forget the ''Meta'' in Your Morphosis - #4584
You've got to burn the bridges to all the things that have helped you do that sin, and the people who have helped you do that sin, and the influences. You go back and make it right with the people who have been affected by that sin and you ask for their forgiveness, and you look for some accountability people to check up on you. God is as tired of your spiritual crawling as you are. He wants you to fly, and repentance is the missing difference.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Old Guy's Gone for Good - #4588
Sin separates us from the people we love, from the person we want to be; that we need to be. It separates us from our Creator forever, unless we are "In Christ."

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Dying from Doing Nothing - #4599
All you have to do to have this life cheapened by sin is to do nothing. All you have to do to spend eternity in hell instead of heaven is to do nothing. Stay as you are and sin will kill you. God says, rid yourself of your sin. Get a new heart, and you can only do that at the cross where Christ died for you, where He said, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." He was forgiving you and me when He said that, and giving us the possibility of a new beginning and a new heart.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Life-Saving Pain - #4656
If someone you love is the one who's away from the Lord, you can pray in accordance with God's recovery plan here in Hosea 2. Pray for the thornbushes and the walls and the frustrating pursuits that can cause this one you love to think about what they're doing and to remember the better days - the Jesus-days.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Where You Were Born to Be - #4658
You know there's got to be something more. Maybe God is stirring your soul and trying to move you where you were born to be, doing what you were born to do. And it's different from what you're doing now. Don't be afraid of it. Be expectant. And be obedient - no matter how risky that obedience looks. There's actually no such thing as a risky obedience - only a risky disobedience.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Taking it to the Boss - #4206
Authority is really the decisive factor in getting anything done - putting it in the hands of the person who is in charge. Now that is a fundamental secret of getting things done when you pray! Those who understand that mountain-moving faith is about realizing Who's in charge are people who pray with power and who get results.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Dark Side - #4207
Where the light doesn't shine - that's the dark side. The sad thing is that many of us have a dark side; parts of our life, our personality, our lifestyle where we don't let the light shine. The light of the S-o-n of God. And those parts, like the moon, are cold and barren - possibly hidden from everyone's view. Everyone, that is, except God.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Paralysis of Analysis - #4217
There are a lot of folks who have a little bit of Tevye in them - always analyzing, often not reaching any conclusion. I'm a data-based decision maker, and I like to weigh all the information I can before making a decision or a commitment. And that's a good thing. Until it paralyzes you. Until it keeps you from exercising the one thing the Bible says you have to have to please God - faith.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Declaring Bankruptcy - Finding Hope - #4219
Seems strange, doesn't it? The hope of rescue depending on declaring you're bankrupt. But it's the only hope some businesses have of recovering. Declaring bankruptcy is also the only hope you or I have - of escaping the awful consequences of running our lives instead of letting God run them. Our moral debt to God is totally beyond our ability to pay.
