TESTIMONY #1 "Hey Jrich. I have a testimony for you. When I joined the Circle of faith group last year, I was believing for God to promote me in my career. Well last week, I signed an offer letter for a managerial position. The thing is me and my boss discussed the details about the position but didnt interview me for it. She just asked would you like to go for it. I said yes and today was my first day. Thanks for your prayers and your pratical sermons. They've really helped. God bless you and your family!" TESTIMONY # 2 "Glory!!!! When I tell you, I know you hear from God and are on point with your connection. I have been experiencing so much joy!"

PRAY THREE HOURS A DAY

I have been in a very deep place of prayer lately and I decided to preach a series on prayer at my church. What I did not see coming was how God was shifting my personal prayer life.

While in prayer I distinctly heard the Holy Spirit say "pray 3 hours a day". Now I've heard stories of people that were able to pray for 4, 6, or even 8 hours a day but I didn't see myself even being remotely close to praying that long.

Never the less I began. I would pray in the Holy Spirit. This is our heavenly prayer language that I will share more about in a later blog. I would pray in the Holy Spirit 5 minutes at a time, then 10 minutes at a time.  The next thing you know I found times where I would pray a full 90 minutes.

As I began to pray revelation would come in my spirit. I would begin to have deeper understanding and instructions on what God desired of me. I would journal all of the revelation I received until I had to make a spreadsheet to keep track of it all.

I can say I have more peace, focus, revelation, and power from this time of prayer than I've ever had.  I want you to take your prayer life to new levels. I want you to get on fire about hearing directly from the Holy Spirit the instructions for your life.

While in prayer it has been confirmed in my spirit the desire for us to continue God's work through missions.

One of the pillars of my church Faith Forward Church is "Impacting Nations" where we give 10% of our annual giving to support the ministry of Jesus Christ throughout the World.

You can always support these causes at my site www.revjrich.com or our church www.faithmove.org.

As we pray let's pray for the Glory of God to fill all corners of the Earth and to change lives through the power of our prayers.

As you increase your time in prayer my hope is that the Holy Spirit speaks to you and gives you revelation, wisdom, and knowledge.

"YOUR SEED BLESSES YOUR NEED"

Something very interesting happened while I was in prayer. I was lead to reach out to specific people that could sow financially into Faith Forward Church. 

Now the truth is I'm never shy about talking about giving because I am a giver and I understand how God's Kingdom operates and blesses giving. It's easy to talk about something you do and believe in wholeheartedly and see the results.

However, after I reached out to these individuals some slight insecurity set in.  I thought "I don't want to seem like I'm begging and I don't want my request for the church to be rejected".

But then the Holy Spirit spoke to me in prayer and said "you don't bless them, the seed blesses them."

In other words you don't have the power to bless anyone. That's GOD'S JOB.

I want you to know today that your seed blesses you. It's easy to think "where is my money going, I'm not so sure about this". You may not even be a tither with a good understanding of stewardship.

Its vital to seek the Lord concering this because your seed is not about them, your seed is about you. It is your blessing, in your hand, tied to your faith to give.

Scripture tells us that "God supplies seed to the sower and can make all grace abound toward us" 2 Corinthians 9: (6-10).

When you give you release a grace that comes upon your seed to bless your need.  One thing we should desire more of is God's grace. It's God's grace that makes what you need to happen and scripture says your giving causes ALL GRACE TO ABOUND TOWARD YOU. God's grace makes all the difference.

Your giving blesses you. I invite you to give to your local church, your home church, or even to Faith Forward Church at www.faithmove.org/giving.

God's grace is able to make you abound in every good work through your giving.

Let's pray. Lord Jesus my seed blesses the need. It blesses the need for the Kingdom, and the need for my house. I am in faith for my seed and I declare it meets the need. In Jesus' name. Amen.

"DON'T LET WORRY KILL YOU"

DONT LET "WORRY" KILL YOU!

At Starbucks and I overhear so many conversations. This young lady behind me is worried into tears about something. I'm sure it's a great reason but here is what came to mind.

"I never worry." It occurred to me I went through a 3 year season of constant worry and doubt. Fear and anxiety of the unknown and obligations. It wasn't until I truly surrendered my fears to God that things came together.

My point is don't let worry kill you. So what..bills are due, work is stressful, school is hard, people are sick. I truly understand. But Do what you can and trust God to do what you can't. I just believe for you that you will overcome worry this week.

Scripture reminds us in Matthew 6: 25-34 that worrying doesn't accomplish anything and that God will take care of us if we seek His Kingdom and His righteousness.

Let's Pray. Lord Jesus. I will not worry I will trust In your word and your will for my life. I will look to you for my power, provision, and peace. In Jesus' name Amen.
