“…he will have whatever he says.”
Mark 11:23 (NKJV)

JULY 17 - God engineered our bodies with chemical messengers so we can respond to the demands of our environment. Adrenaline is one such messenger; it prepares the body for intense action and dangerous situations. Suppose a person’s adrenal glands malfunctioned and didn’t supply adrenaline when it was needed. The muscles would never know they were supposed to go into action. Accurate messengers are vital to a person’s safety and well-being.

In the same way, our words function as spiritual messengers. They harness the power to create the outcome we desire in any situation. They have the power to change circumstances and create futures.

They even cause our dreams to materialize before our eyes. The first thing Jesus asked when a frantic Mary finally found her Son was, “How is it that you sought Me?” In other words Jesus calmly said, “Why are you so worried? Didn’t you realize that at age thirteen, the consecrated age of the Jews, I would create the future God planned all along?” We fashion our future with our words. We only achieve success after we use our mouths and declare with confidence the promises of God. Remember, words are messengers; they carry defeat and bring worry and death or transmit victory, peace, and life. This is stated very clearly in Proverbs 18:21, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” If we don’t like the situation we are in, we must change what we say. With our words, we determine the outcome of our lives. We frame our world for defeat or change what we say and frame our world for victory.

Father, I thank You that as You framed the world with Your Word, I frame my world with my words.

You Are Healed - Book

From God’s perspective, health is not something that we lack and must try to attain. Rather, it is a possession that is already ours – but the thief is trying to steal it!

Jesus went to the cross to deliver us, once and for all, from the curse of sickness and disease. So, why does divine healing often seem to be so elusive? It’s because the only proof we have of our healing, until it is manifested, is the written Word of God.

Nevertheless, God’s Word is all the proof we need! Dr. Thompson shows you how to apply the principles of God’s Word to your life, until you experience the divine health in which God intends you to walk. This book equips you with the spiritual prescription needed to attain health, wholeness, and vitality in your body.

“…bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ…”
2 Corinthians 10:5 (NKJV)

JULY 14 - “What was he thinking?” A young mother glanced over at her husband, wondering how her son could possibly think he could get away with stealing the neighbor’s new soccer ball without anyone discovering it. “Maybe he thought about it since he saw it the other day,” her husband wisely replied. Whatever you allow to harbor in your mind and dwell upon in your thoughts are seeds that develop and produce after their own kind. All thoughts that suggest weakness, failure, unhappiness, or poverty are harmful and self-destructing.

• We must see those thoughts as enemies attempting to break out into manifestation.
• We must counterattack those thoughts whenever they try to gain ascendancy in our minds.
• We must avoid them as we would thieves…for they truly are…and of the highest degree.

Our minds must be kept free from devastating bitterness, resentment, hatred, suspicion, and everything that does not line up with God’s thoughts. The apostle Paul tells us, “I see another law in my members, warring against the laws of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.” We are in a battle, and we must choose to get on the battleship called “Godly Thinking” if we are ever going to experience Heaven’s best. God gave us the weapons with which to fight. We are to pull down and bring every negative thought into the obedience of Christ. If He did not say it, then we should not
think it.

Father, I thank You that I watch over my thoughts and I make sure to think only what You think. I understand my thoughts are the compass that guides my life to its desired destination.

Excellence In Character - Book

Have you tested your foundation lately?

A house built on a faulty foundation soon becomes unfit to live in. Shifting soil causes cracks in the foundation. Gradually those cracks travel upward to the walls and ceilings of the house, causing more and more structural damage — not to mention more headaches to those who live inside. Think of the loss and trouble the homeowners could have avoided if they had only tested the foundation before they moved in!

In the same way, we will save ourselves a lifetime of grief if we will just take the time to test the foundation of our lives — our character — and deal with any cracks or flaws that could later lead to disaster. As author Robb Thompson stresses, “Without a strong, solid foundation of God’s principles undergirding our lives, everything else we attempt to build or accomplish will eventually crumble and fall. In fact, any breakdown in life can almost always be traced back to a breakdown in character.”

Let Dr. Thompson help you explore what God has to say about pursuing excellent character. Then start building a rock-solid, Godly character that will lead you to God’s highest for your life!

“I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”
Galatians 2:20 (NKJV)

JUNE 27 - “It has to be Him!” the devout Jew tottered toward the young family of three, his face aglow as the noonday sun. Having received the divine message that he would not die until he personally witnessed Israel’s “salvation,” Simeon’s new identity arrived inside this otherwise obscure temple dedication. Have you yet realized, along with Simeon of old, that God sees you in Christ, He sees greatness in you, and He has a destiny for you? When He looks at you, He sees success and a winner. He sees Jesus, His Son!

You are not destined to lose, because He made you victorious through Christ. If God made you a winner, then what are you waiting for and what keeps you from success? God waits for you to believe it about yourself. It doesn’t matter what God believes about you; what really matters is what you believe about you. Which are you going to believe, your past or what God says?

What you meditate on and routinely contemplate soon manifests into action reflecting the thoughts you harbor, good or bad. Your life is an outer image reflecting your inner projection. Every thought God has concerning you is written on the pages of His Word. He tells you who you are, what you have, and all you can do through Jesus Christ. You are born into the family of God through the incorruptible seed of the Word of God. You are a child, an heir of God! It is time to step into your rightful place, knowing your identity, just as Simeon did.

Father, I thank You that I am crucified with Christ. I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. I now live by faith in Your Son who loved me and died for me.

“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.”
3 John 1:2 (NKJV)

JUNE 20 - Prosperity has more to do with your mind than with your pocketbook.

• Do you believe God wants you to prosper?
• Do you believe prosperity is your right as a believer?
• Or do you believe God wants people to be poor and needy?

Whatever you believe is evident in your life. Let me explain. People hold many beliefs about life intransigently formed by past experiences and rigidly directed by various people. After years of sustained
thought, those viewpoints become beliefs that govern and ultimately control your life. You and I are stringently governed by the core beliefs we hold. We act in accordance to what we truly believe, not just what we say we believe. If we believe God wants us poor, or that poverty is our destiny, life proves that for us. But if we believe God wants us blessed, life proves this to us as well.

We are a living prophecy of what we believe. What do you believe? Whatever it is, it just might be the very thing that precludes God’s blessings from your life. The Israelites believed they were grasshoppers in the sight of the giants and therefore never seized the Promised Land. Your future prosperity lies in the present confines of your mind. Believe and receive what God has for you.

Father, I thank You that above all things I prosper and walk in health even as my soul prospers.

Spiritual Checkup Pack- CD

What is the ultimate prize that this world has to offer? The Nobel Peace Prize? An Oscar? A Super Bowl ring? A lucrative recording contract?

Certainly you can find all types of contests in which to compete and a host of valuable prizes to covet in today’s society. Are you equipped to win the prize and obtain the goal? In this package, Dr. Robb Thompson explains to you how to win the ultimate prize of life – the heart of your Heavenly Father.

Using illustrations from the lives of Biblical men and women, Dr. Thompson vividly portrays what it means to be a person after God’s own heart and how to do the necessary examining of your own heart in the process. He tackles the all-important topics of submission and covenant loyalty – scriptural concepts that are frequently shunned and swept under the collective rug in Christendom today.

As Dr. Thompson so succinctly asks, “What else do you have in life, if you don’t have the heart of the Father?” That’s a question only you can answer for yourself. Pursue the prize of your Father’s heart, and watch everything else in your life fall into place (Matthew 6:33).

“…I am still not all I should be, but I am focusing all my energies on this one thing: forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I strain to reach the end of the race and receive the prize for which God,through Christ Jesus, is calling us up to Heaven.”
Philippians 3:13-14 (NLT)

JUNE 4 - The Nativity—a familiar scene of the Savior’s tranquil birth—gives hope to the world by His eventual death, the means through which the darkness of our past is forever erased. And that is exactly why many today do not even wish to celebrate the Nativity scene: they instead choose darkness over the Light. But God went to great lengths to bestow upon us a new future, and is willing to grant it to anyone who embraces it. Enthusiastically He tells us, “For I know the plans I have for you…they are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” God has a good future awaiting us. But how do we possess that great future? One way is to learn from others’ mistakes. Consider the Israelites. They incessantly looked back on their past rather than hopefully toward their future. They were unwilling to fight for the very freedom for which they prayed.

The future God has for us does not come because we want it—we must continuously fight for it. It takes great effort, but the rewards are well worth the cost. The apostle Paul said it like this, “I am focusing all my energies on this one thing: forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead…” Only by focusing on where we are going do we escape where we are. Our entry into the future is dependent upon our departure from our past. We need to open God’s Word and begin to see the tomorrow He has for us. It is a bright and wonderful future!

Daily Confession

Father, I thank You that I do not look back, for there is no future in my past. I press forward to the bright future of hope and blessings You have for me.

Problem Solving - CD

You might ask, “How does solving others’ problems help me to achieve the life I desire?” The answer is found in one of the powerful principles Dr. Robb Thompson shares in this series. Based on Ephesians 6:8, it states: “Whatever you make happen for others, God will make happen for you.”

Your life will begin to quickly advance as you learn how to become an answer, and not a question, to those to whom you have been assigned. Promotion and favor will chase you down as you implement Dr. Thompson’s practical yet powerful principles. Here are just a few:

• Your value to your employer is in direct proportion to the problems you are willing to solve for him.
• You will only be remembered for the problems you solve or the problems you create.
• When you solve a greater problem, you will receive a greater reward.
• Don’t try to compete with people – compete against mediocrity.

Whether you need to see advancement in your career, business, relationships, or personal effectiveness, don’t miss out on this opportunity to take your life to the next level. The only one who can stop your promotion is you!

“Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today…and all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you…”
Deuteronomy 28:1-2 (NKJV)

JUNE 1 - You can try for several days, but you probably won’t find this perfume at your local shopping mall. Myrrh, a well-known gum resin extracted from the Arabian Balsamodendron Myrrha, was used as an exquisite perfume, an ingredient for holy anointing oil, as well as for embalming. It was one of Christ’s material rewards following His birth, and an overwhelming prophecy of His future. God’s Word contains principles that when applied, cause one to experience a life of blessings. Although each of us desires to be blessed, few accurately apply God’s principles to their lives. We must be willing to do what God said if we
expect to experience what God promised. Remember, God never promised us a reward without first  completing an instruction.

God is a God who loves to reward! That is what He loves to do. But He does not hand out an I.O.U. to just anyone. He is very selective in who He blesses. We determine whether or not God rewards us. God made this very clear in Deuteronomy 28. Our future is only as bright as the principles we embrace. What a powerful principle! We are responsible for the outcome of our future. What God desires, and what actually happens, may not always align. There is a reason for it, and God is not the problem. Although God desires to bless all of us, He can only do so upon our obedience. The principles by which we live starkly determine the future we experience. Whatever future we desire, we must faithfully apply the principles to bring fruitful results.

Father, I thank You that I am diligent to heed Your voice and act upon the principles outlined in Your Word.

The Standard - CD

A standard is an object that defines, represents, or records potential. It is a decree or level of requirement, excellence, or attainment. Simply put, it is the yardstick against which we measure or lives.

As believers, our standard is the cross of Jesus Christ. The defining factor of our life is the sacrifice Jesus made at Calvary. Jesus overcame temptation and defeated the enemy making it possible for us to do the same. He set a standard and became a representation of our potential.

As we model our character after the character of Jesus and model our lives in accordance with the Word of God, we become able to overcome temptation and defeat the enemy just like Jesus did. Be instructed and inspired through this powerful teaching by Linda Thompson. God’s Word and the victory of the cross can be the defining standard of your life!

“Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 3:13-14 (NKJV)

June 1 - With the advent of the Messiah, every individual of Jewish ancestry either remains a prisoner of their religious past, or through Jesus, becomes a pioneer of a God-planned future. Which is it for you: Will you allow the enemy to imprison you to your past, or will you put on the armor of God and fight for the future God promised you? Just because we are saved doesn’t mean we are guaranteed a good future. We are promised a future, but so were the children of Israel. They were presented with the Promised Land but never entered it because they were prisoners of their past.

Put yourself in the shoes of an eighteen-year-old who just graduated from high school. Your wealthy uncle comes and informs you that he would like to pay for your college education (all four years). Wouldn’t you be excited? Sure you would. That is exactly what God did for us. He gave us salvation free of charge, without having to do anything to acquire it. But just because you have a scholarship to college doesn’t mean you are exempt from attending a variety of classes, doing hours of homework, and studying for final exams. Unless you are diligent to do those things, you won’t make it through all four years.

In the same way, God delivered you from your past and promised you a great future. But unless you put in the time to mediate on His Word, go to church, love people, and obey Him, you won’t possess that great future. It remains true: You’re either a prisoner to your past, or a pioneer of your future.

Father, I thank You that I forget the things behind and reach forward to those ahead.

1 Kings 17…(Author’s paraphrase)

MAY 27 - Whatever you possess in your present is more than enough to create a future. So, what do you have in your hand? When you let go of what is in your hand, God lets go of what is in His hand.

Elijah, a remarkable, Old Testament prophet, understood this principle as much as any other person in all of scripture as he stared into the pallid face of an impoverished peasant woman about to eat her last meal. Her son lie on his bead, shriveled and withered, death only a faint breath away. Broken as a shattered clay pot, she had nowhere to turn. Isn’t it interesting that God did not send her a miracle of food, or even give her money but instead brought an opportunity to sow a seed?

Elijah understood this law and was able to change this woman’s life by recapturing her focus and teaching her the principle of sowing and reaping. The seed within her hand was the solution to her life. And as Joseph and Mary treaded through the town of Bethlehem, God’s Seed, planted divinely through His Spirit, was about to change the world—forever. And the same is true for you and me. The solution to every problem we face lies within the seeds we hold. We must sow what we have if we desire Heaven to deliver what God has.

“Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop.”
2 Corinthians 9:6 (NLT)

MAY 1 - You can only act according to what you know. The Word of God plainly tells us, “God’s people perish for lack of knowledge…” Many in the body of Christ have been taught that it is wrong to expect a harvest from an offering given to God. To fervently expect something is not greed; it is stable proof that we believe God’s Word. In 2 Corinthians 9:6, God said, “…but the one who plants generously will get a generous
crop.” Those who do not expect a harvest do not understand this Scripture.

In everything we do, we expect a return; but the moment someone talks about money, we no longer feel it is appropriate to eagerly expect a return. When the Israeli soldiers fought, they fervently expected victory.

Remember, God’s greatest pleasure is to be believed. His greatest pain is to be doubted. You see with almost every instruction, God subsequently follows it with a promise. Why? Because He created us to be
reward oriented, understanding our intrinsic desire to excel, our intense desire to produce, and our natural desire for more. He put that yearning within us, and gave us the process through the seed, so that we might always attain the desires of our hearts.

Father, I thank You that I plant seed with an expectation of a harvest. I never live in need, because I have been given seed. I sow generously and I reap a generous harvest.

“He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, ‘O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.’”
Matthew 26:39 (NKJV)

APRIL 22 - The refreshing sight of the robin…the invigorating scent of newly burgeoning trees…the friendly honking of white-necked Canadian geese—these are some of the luscious wonders of spring. What would happen if the world’s farmers decided to relax during this season of growth, taking walks in the woods instead of planting seeds? No doubt, disaster in the fields would ultimately occur! Everything in God’s realm is methodically performed in seasons. There is an expressed season of sowing seed, and a subsequent season of reaping the harvest.

However, because the harvest may take some time to manifest, we don’t always notice the cause and effect connection between the seed we sowed years ago, and the negative consequences we currently reap. We must take the present and sow it as a seed expecting to receive a great future. But why do so many squander their time today, while idealistically expecting a great future tomorrow? It is because their belief system is self-deceiving. The truth is: we reap only what we sow.

At age 12, Moshe Dayan stood sentry duty in his struggling village of Nahalal, where marauding bands of Bedouins routinely attacked. In less than two years time, he became a member of Haganah, a Jewish defense militia. Young Dayan sowed the seeds for one of the most illustrious military careers in modern history. Please consider: What are you sowing today? Where does your time go? Where is your focus directed? The answers to these questions give you a clear idea of your future.

Father, I thank You that I refuse to worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow takes care of itself. I look at my today as seed I sow to create the future I desire.
