Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Needless Pain - #4987
God's way is always the best way for us - the path of ultimate peace and joy and satisfaction and no regrets. But many of us have these showdown issues with God over something we refuse to let go of or change. Maybe there's something in your life like that. You know God isn't happy with what you're doing or with the way you've let someone or something become more important to you than He is.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Chain Saw in Your Mouth - #5037
It's almost as if we have this verbal chain saw in our mouth that keeps cutting people we care about. It may be that you've been doing this for so long you hardly even notice how destructive some your words are. But the people who are hearing them are not only noticing your words, it's quite possible they'll never forget them.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Together On the Outside, Broken On the Inside - #5044
Inside there's those secrets that no one knows; that darkness that we hope no one ever knows; those wounds that no one can heal; the guilt that no one can remove; the answers that no one can give us; the fear and insecurity and frustration of not really being sure why we're here or where we're going. In some strange way, those disturbances in your heart are actually the whispers of the God who made you.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Fallen Down But Finishing Strong - #5066
Simon failed, Moses failed, and yet God still had something very important for them to do for Him once they repented and surrendered their brokenness to Him. He wants to do that for you.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Whose Stuff Do You Have? - #5082
The consistent pattern in Scripture is that when Jesus commands the use of something we have for His purposes, He does so much more with it than we ever could. So what is there that He's loaned to you that you've been holding onto tightly as if it were yours. That's hijacking; taking from the owner what belongs to them, to be used for what you want instead of what they want. Surrender it all to Him.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Goodbye, Sick Stuff - #5093
You were making progress, but it's reappearing again. Maybe it's that old addiction. Maybe it's what you were looking at; what you were watching, and you were starting to get some victory over that. It's coming back again. All of us have these empty, corrupt ways of living. And Christ comes and says, "Let him go!" "Let her go!" "Take off the grave clothes." We could be free of it forever because of Jesus.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Saying Goodbye to What's Been Holding Your Back - #5095
That's the kind of freedom Jesus wants to bring to you; freedom from always needing a man or a woman to make you feel valued and secure. Think of how they've let you down. Freedom from being an approval junkie, from seeing yourself as a victim all the time, from trying to find your worth in your work or your performance, freedom from the bottle, the drug, the sex, the applause that you've thought you needed to complete you. They never have, they never will.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Punch You're Not Ready For - #5109
See, it's important to know where your most vulnerable spots are because I'll tell you, your enemy knows. So how do you handle this? How do you get ready for the punch? Each morning, you consciously surrender that soft spot, that weakness to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Jesus Journal - #5113
When we forget God's benefits, we make spiritually, cowardly decisions. We miss the next miracles and maybe the will of God. Lately, I've been trying an experiment. I keep an encouragement journal off and on - it's a Jesus Journal. And you know, I write down today's date and I write down God's work in that day, whatever it was. It's really exciting at the end of that day or maybe the next morning to show the places that God was at work, benefits I don't want to forget.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Greatest Miracle Known to Man - #4009
The amazing birth of a baby is actually the second greatest miracle known to man. The greatest miracle is another birth - one which I hope you have experienced for yourself.
