Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Eeyore Complex - #5099
This joy of the Lord has nothing to do with your environment. It does have to do with your in-vironment. See, this joy gives the ability to look for God in any situation and to ask the question, "Now, how could God use this?" I may not particularly like what's going on right now, but God has okayed it. It had to get through my Father's hands before it could get to me, so God must be able to work through this. Where is He at work here?

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 - When Prayer Gets Loose - #5119
See, we tend to have a prayer compartment in our life and we pray in the morning or maybe in the evening. We have prayer meetings, but I think God wants us to take prayer out of that compartment and learn prayer as a lifestyle, not just as an occasional binge.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Never Out of Touch - #5182
Here's the life principle: make prayer a lifestyle, not a compartment. It's called "acknowledging the Lord in all your ways" (Proverbs 3:6) - noticing the Lord's presence all through your day. Getting ready in the morning, traveling to work or school, in the house, your car, at your workplace, at a restaurant, a meeting, or as you exercise - getting in touch with your Lord!

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Best Place For A Party - #4045
We often told our children the very best place of all to have a party going on. So does our word for today from the Word of God. It's in Proverbs 15:15. The Bible says, "The cheerful heart has a continual feast." You see, if you carry the party inside you, then life can be a pretty joyful experience - for you and for the people around you. A "continual feast" God calls it.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Cats That Never Pounced - #3892
I wonder how many of those you and I have had in our lives - the things that could have hurt or destroyed us that we never knew about. The cats that never pounced. In an increasingly dangerous world, isn't it great to know that you are under that kind of protection?

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Softening Up The Enemy - #3907
Some of us have lost some of our battles - or had much tougher battles - because we didn't apply this kind of strategy. If you want to win, take some time to soften up your enemy before you go in to fight the battle. In the military, it's the air war that prepares the way - in spiritual battles, it's the prayer war.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Smaller Than it Looks - #5529
The issue isn't how big the problem is compared to you. It's how big the problem is compared to your God! The only thing that should ever overwhelm a child of God is the awesomeness of their Lord.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Putting On Your Glasses, Getting On Your Knees - #5609
Nehemiah has a heavy burden on his heart. It's the news that God's people and God's city are a mess. And it drives him to his knees for weeks of praying about it. I don't know what's weighing heavy on your heart right now, but I hope it's driven you to your knees. Maybe like Nehemiah, you feel powerless to solve this one. Then you'll be interested in how he ends up praying after initially focusing on the situation. Praying about the situation changes how he looks at almost everything.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Climate Control - #5488
f you're in a position of influencing others, have you considered how the temperature feels where you are, what kind of climate you're establishing? Not so much with what you say, but more with the way you are. Is it tense around you or peaceful? Are people around you seeing a model of caring? Of unselfishness?
