In the ancient Hebrew family, the heir was raised under a tutor that taught him how to make good decisions. He learned how to manage the inheritance. His capacity to manage the family resources affected him and his entire family. God has given us a personal tutor: the Holy Spirit. He works in us to lead us into the very best decisions possible. If you want to discover how to flow with your personal coach and tutor, join me in CyberChurch this week for The Great Teacher.

We’ve been taught that our adoption took place when we were born into the body of Christ. But if we were born into the body, we can’t be adopted into the body. We were born again by the Spirit of God, thereby becoming children of God. Adoption is about our connection to our inheritance. In a Jewish family, the heir apparent was tutored so he would be ready to inherit and manage the family resources, at which time he would receive his inheritance. Even though we were given our inheritance when we were born into the family of God, a special tutor was given to teach us how to manage and maintain our Kingdom resources. Join me this week in CyberChurch as we discover our personal mentor, the Spirit of Adoption. This will inspire you and help bring back the passion and excitement you had when you were first saved!

The Apostle Paul tells us of a mystery unfolding here on Planet Earth. It is educating all the principalities, powers, and names that can be named. The full revelation of this mystery will be so overwhelming, it will transform our every concept of God! We will see and understand God in ways we never imagined. You can begin to share in the mystery now, and it will forever change everything in your life! If you’re ready to start sharing in the mystery now, join me this week in CyberChurch for Manifesting the Mystery

One of the most insidious lies promoted by religion is this: When you fail or give in to temptation, you give the devil authority over you. When Jesus was raised from the dead, He said, “All authority is given to me in heaven and earth.” If the authority was given to Him, we can’t give it away. It’s not ours to give. The Bible says greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. The Holy Spirit has more power than the devil had before he fell. We have more authority than he has ever had. We have nothing to fear. Join me this week for CyberChurch as we reveal from the scripture that: Nothing Has Dominion Over You!

There have been all kinds of debates about the evidence of being filled with the Holy Spirit, and it is doubtful that any single gift of the Spirit is conclusive evidence. The most important evidence we should desire to validate the work of the Holy Spirit is this: inwardly, we should develop the fruit of the Holy Spirit. Externally, we should have power working through us to minister to hurting people. Join me this week to examine what happened in Jesus’ life due to the Holy Spirit’s presence and power.

The Holy Spirit has a clearly defined “job description.” Everything He does has one specific goal: to help the believer. “How does He help,” you ask? He manifests the power of God in your heart that expands your capacity, strengthens you physically and emotionally to do, be, and have all God says you can do, be and have. Join me this week, and we’ll identify the many ways the Holy Spirit works in us and through us to establish God’s will.

The Holy Spirit is not the doer of the word; He is the one who helps us do the word. When we believe the truth and make the decision to put it into practice, He immediately begins to work in our hearts to make us able. But He can do nothing until we decide whether or not we will trust God’s Word. Join me this week in CyberChurch for a whole new look at how the Holy Spirit works in our lives, making us able to do, be, and have all that God says is ours.

No matter what your desire may be, the Holy Spirit has a way to lead you into its fulfillment with absolutely no destruction in your life. Sons of God are led by the Spirit. A son of God is like the elder son in the family who has been qualified for his inheritance. God wants to lead you by His Spirit into your inheritance which is better than anything you have ever seen, heard, or imagined. Join me this week in CyberChurch, and let’s take the first step in being led by the Spirit.

Jesus promised to send us a helper who would be with us and in us. This helper is the Holy Spirit. “Just what does the Holy Spirit help us do?” you might ask. He helps us do everything God says we can do, and He helps us take hold of everything God gives. He opens our eyes to see what the natural mind cannot see. Without the Holy Spirit to help and strengthen the believer, all we have is information that we can never get to work. Join me this week in CyberChurch for an incredibly encouraging message: "Welcome Holy Spirit".

The Holy Spirit is the one who manifests all the power of God on Planet Earth. Without Him, there is no manifestation of God. This manifestation isn’t just miracles, signs, and wonders; it is the work of God within us. Millions of believers around the world are crying out to see and experience the “God of the Bible.” They do not realize that the God of the Bible cannot be seen or experienced when we exclude the Holy Spirit from our lives. Join me this week as we discover the harmony of the Word and the Spirit operating together to show God to the world.

A New Year is coming, and many people are trying to figure out what they will do to avoid repeating last year. Some are making a list of goals; others are creating positive affirmations; a significant number are refusing to set new goals because they do not want another defeat. Too many believers think renewal is a one-time event occurring at our new birth. The truth is: if we are still the same person we were last year, we will suffer the same failures. But Jesus, Paul, and Peter explained how we could die daily, experience renewal, and start over every day! Join me this week as I show you how to start over, leaving all your weaknesses and failures behind!

There are at least four different ways people view and experience Christmas: those who participate as a time for family and love it; those who participate out of obligation and begrudge it; legalists who consider it a pagan observance; and believers who struggle to make it more meaningful. This week, I want to show you how to turn Christmas into an incredible experience. If you are struggling with the economy, corrupt politics, and dishonest big tech, I’ve got something that will encourage you more than you ever imagined. In fact, this may revive the passion you had for God and the life you had as a new believer or instill a passion you've never had. Join me this week in CyberChurch for “Any Day Now.”

The same sun that hardens clay melts butter. The Bible explains that nothing is inherently good or evil. We make something good or evil because of what is in our hearts. In the Hebrew language, the Bible also teaches that footprints have covered our hearts. Based on the damage to your heart, something incredibly painful for one person could cause rejoicing by another. The holidays are emotionally crippling for some. Some are mildly depressed, while others are angry and suicidal. No matter which category describes you, I want to help you understand how to turn holidays into a reason for rejoicing. I want to equip you to help yourself as well as helping those who struggle this time of the year. Join me this week as we discuss The Cure for Holiday Depression. For those that would like to take a tour of the Richards' home at Christmas time, here is the YouTube video Dr. Jim mentioned: https://youtu.be/fqhVFLnrE-M

All of God’s mysteries are laid in plain sight. All it takes to see His mysteries is to have a repentant, teachable heart. Jesus explained that He was the door to the sheepfold. Religion has reduced the scope of the sheepfold to the new birth, but it is actually the realm of the kingdom, wherein all of God’s resources are available. In John 10, Jesus explained that He is the only door to all of God’s resources and protection. Modern Christianity seldom approaches God with a conscious awareness of Jesus as our door, opening, or portal. We rely too heavily on formalities, ceremonies, and good works. As it turns out, the thief that tries to come in another way is the believer who comes to God on something other than the sacrifice of Jesus. Join me this week, and we’ll peel back the veil that hides the mystery of entering in through Jesus, the secret portal hidden in plain sight!

The Bible is like a hologram, you can lose some of the pages, but the overall message is never lost. One of the realities that is never lost is the transforming power of simply abiding in the presence of God. When abiding in His presence, He takes us through transformation, superseding anything said or requested. Join me this week to discover the simplicity of experiencing the life-changing presence of God! One of the simplest ways to understand the process of passing through the portal of our heart into His presence is expressed in the Hebrew alphabet.

In 1 Corinthians 14:33, the Apostle Paul said, For God is not the author of confusion. The Greek word for disorder means “instability, a state of disorder, disturbance, or confusion.” All of creation reveals the fact that randomness is a foreign concept. God does all things based on consistent patterns of organized design. All of creation and all the works of God reveal His character, order, and design. Once we discover God’s order, we can understand all aspects of God’s creation and behavior. God is not understandable to those who have believed the anti-God propaganda of randomness. They attempt to understand God based on the false science of the world’s system that has its foundation in randomness. Join me this week, and let’s consider the biblical concept of microcosm-macrocosm. Understand God in light of His creation and understand what you may have never realized about God.

A committed believer rarely gets into difficulty by completely rejecting God’s Word. But we do find ourselves struggling to be sure of what God actually meant. The serpent asked Eve, “Hath God said?” That could mean anything from “Did He say it at all?” to “Are you sure He said that?” to “What did He really mean?” In other words, he was looking for any area of the interaction where she lacked confidence. I want to share with you how you can hear God and hold on to what He is speaking to you. Faith has to be sure! The moment you become unsure, you have become vulnerable to manipulation. Join me for this week’s CyberChurch message, “Hath God Said” to learn more.

The average person thinks that science has proven miracles to be non-existent myths. With the advent of quantum science, we discover more and more factual data that validates the biblically defined creation process, and intelligent design. As we discover how the universe was created and functions, we realize that our world was made for the miraculous. Join me this week as we unveil the hidden reality: everything we know about mankind and our universe reveals that our world was made for miracles...

For thousands of years, there has been hostility between “science” and the Word of God. Originally, science was the product of occult, religious ideas. These ideas were introduced into Planet Earth by the fallen angels in their attempt to create a worldwide rebellion against God. Eventually, Bible-believing scientists used the Bible to bring true and accurate science to the forefront. Then, once again, science became twisted, and false science became the most powerful tool in the world to destroy faith. However, with the advent of quantum science, we now know that the great majority of scientific theories didn’t even qualify as theories. Science has been slowly catching up with the Bible. Those who believe what the Bible says about the universe find themselves on the cutting-edge of science. Join me this week for The Science of Faith and begin to remove the gap between the two while building a rock-solid faith in God and His Word.

Only recently has science actually discovered what the Bible has revealed for thousands of years: throughout the universe, there are portals whereby one can move through various dimensions. In fact, it was a thirteenth-century theologian who first discovered from the Bible that there are ten dimensions to the universe, and how that was affected by the fall of man. The most important portal into another dimension is the one that moves us from our current dimension into the presence of God. It is in this dimension that we can experience the life and renewal of God through the Lord Jesus in very specific ways. Join me this week as we begin a new CyberChurch series, The Portal Into His Presence!
