The Goodness of God Part 2

In this episode Brother Michael continues on the teaching on the goodness of God!  O taste and see that the Lord is good.

The Goodness of God

In this episode Brother Michael teaches on the goodness of God.  David wrote in Psalms 100:5 "the Lord is good his mercy is everlasting and His truth endureth to all generations. In spite of what may be happening in the world we all need to understand that God is still good.  A man's perception of God will determine his attitude towards God.  So if we have a perception that God is mean, angry, or out to get us then we won't have the ability to trust Him when we need Him.  We must realize the earth is full of the goodness of God!

Be Anxious for Nothing Part 2

In this episode Brother Michael continues his teaching on anxiety.  In the first installment he majored on the fact that the Lord does not want His children to worry.  But in the follow up episode Brother Michael looks at the second part of Philippians 4:6.  Where Paul exhorts us that we should take all of our worries and concerns to the Father in prayer and supplications.  When we do this then the peace of God which passes all understanding will keep our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus!

Be Anxious for Nothing

In this episode Brother Michael teaches on the subject of anxiety.  Using Philippians chapter 4 and verses 4-5 he encourages us not to worry about anything.  God's faithfulness is why we can be certain that all things will work together for our good in spite of the opposition.  Brother Michael teaches us that we just need to relax and enjoy the ride of faith.  

How Revelation Knowledge Affects Behavior

In this episode Brother Michael teaches on the subject of revelation knowledge.  He reminds us that it is "the size of our revelation that determines the size of our faith!"  He also teaches that "knowledge changes our behavior." It is what we know that sustains us, that secures us, and that establishes us!  He also gives us three keys that our revelation is based on.  Faith in the Word of God, our personal experiences with God, and the testimonies of others in their dealings with God.  Pay close attention, this lesson will change how you view your circumstances!

The tragedy of missed opportunities Part 2

In this episode Brother Michael continues his teaching the tragedy of missed opportunities.  He defines opportunity as a "favorable condition wrapped up in a moment." Today he gives us six reasons why people people waste opportunities.  Discernment, a lack of preparation, procrastination, a lack of effort, the fear of failure, and not acting on God given ideas.  Brother Michael encourages us to "strike while the iron is hot" and to treat every opportunity like it's "the big one!"

The tragedy of missed opportunities!

In this episode Brother Michael teaches on the tragedy of missed opportunities.  All opportunities are not equal, so it behooves us to be ready to seize them as they present themselves.  In this introduction Brother Michael uses a vast array of quotes to stress the importance of living wisely.  In Ephesians 5:16 Paul instructs us "to redeem the time or as one translation says to buy up each opportunity."  So sit back and determine in your heart to use your time wisely so you can make the most out of all of your opportunities.

Sowing in a time of famine

In this episode Brother Michael teaches on the subject of giving.  Drawing from the example of Isaac who sowed even during a time of lack.  We can draw many parallels with the conditions of Isaac's day and our present distress.  Because of the world wide pandemic many are facing tough decisions concerning their finances.  But the example of Isaac will encourage us to obey the laws of sowing regardless of circumstances!  God has promised to supply all of our needs according to His riches!  So listen and let this encourage you live supernaturally by obeying the promises of God.

Paying the price for success!

Once again Brother Michael gives us great encouragement by teaching on "Paying the price for success!"  A person can have whatever they want in life if they are willing to pay the price.  Nothing in life is free, even success.  So those who have experienced success will tell you that it cost them much!  Brother Michael give us five points that we must remember if we want to achieve success in our lives.  We must have an uncommon vision, uncommon excellence, uncommon effort, uncommon courage, and finally uncommon persistence.  The best things in life are not free, so be willing to pay the price needed to succeed.

Good medicine that doesn't cost a dime!

In this light hearted but most important episode, Brother Michael teaches on the subject of laughter!  In Proverbs 17:22 the Bible says "A merry heart does good like a medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones."  There is therapeutic qualities in laughter.  Laughter indicates a heart full of joy and a heart full of peace.  Never let the devil steal your joy!  It may be doom and gloom time all over the world, but don't let it get into you.  Your ulcer can't grow when you're laughing!  Laughter and joy are spiritual solutions to earthly problems!
