When Jesus said, "Faith" he meant chutzpah. Here we look at what that tells us about how we should be praying. Audio with my Keynote slides. This is the Sunday, March 29, 2009 English service it lasts about 40 Minutes. Distributed by Tubemogul.

The second of three lessons on our authority as Christians and how we use that authority. This is the Sunday, September 28, 2008 service audio with my Keynote slides. It lasts about 46 minutes. I'd give this an 8 out of 10, this is about as good as my messages get. Distributed by Tubemogul.

This is the first in a series of three lessons about our authority as Christians and the uses of that authority. This is the Sunday, Sept. 21 2008 service and it lasts about 30 minutes. This is audio with my Keynote slides. Distributed by Tubemogul.

So we've established that God has promised to prosper us, we've seen that this promise is received by faith like everything we receive from God, now I want to talk a little about what faith is.

Vimos que Dios juro prosperarnos, y que la prosperidad viene por fe, ya les quiero enseñar, que es fe.

We've spent a great deal of time (Not enough apparently judging form the comments at YouTube.) trying to establish that the Bible teaches that God wants us to prosper. In fact, we demonstrated that the Bible teaches that God has promised to give us power to get wealth. We then established that the Bible teaches that these promises of prosperity belong to the Christians, they are not "just for the jews," as some like to say. So if you're convinced, as I am, that God wants us to prosper the next questions is: But how does the money come? That's what we want to start talking about here.

We Previously discussed the importance of faith and one of the things we saw was that, at least according to the Bible, our faith can heal others: James 5:14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. The word "save" here is the Greek word for healing and so most modern Bibles translate it heal or restore or make well. If we can learn to pray the prayer of faith then we will be able to heal the sick. In order to pray the prayer of faith we're going to have to learn what faith is. Faith has two parts, we could call them revelation and action. Revelation is the inside part of faith, the spiritual part it is that which motivates, directs, informs, instructs … the second part of faith, i.e. action. Without both you don't have faith. Action without ...

Hemos estado enseñando acera de el tema de prosperidad. Vimos que dios juro darnos poder para prosperar. ¿Pero como viene el Dinero? De eso se trata este programa.

We've been teaching on the subject of prosperity for quite a while now, but before continuing I want to discuss the why of prosperity. Why does God want you to prosper? There's more that one reason that God desires are prosperity. Prosperity is good and God is a good God therefore he desires our prosperity… God has promised to prosper us, to keep his promise we have to prosper… It takes money to help the poor so we need to prosper in order to be able to help them. But I believe the most important reason God wants us to prosper is to free us from dependence on the world system. He wants us free to serve him. He wants us free to do what he has created and called us to do. God has promised to prosper us materially and financially so that we can be free to serve him. That's what this message is about.

Here's my riff (These are my Keynote slides with audio added.) on a book I've really been enjoying and at the same time agonizing over, MINDSET, The New Psychology of Success, by Carol S. Dweck, PH.D., a Professor of Psychology at Stanford University. The book presents the results of over 20 years of research into the question of why some experience more success than others.

This is the first episode in a series on the ABC's of Faith. Here I discuss the importance of faith. These are my Keynote slides with audio attached. The promises set forth in the Bible present a problem for the Christian. For example Philippians 4:19 says"and my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Well then how come my needs aren't supplied? I believe the answer to the problem of unfulfilled Biblical promises is faith. Faith is the requirement to receiving from God. Without faith none of the Bible promises will become real in our lives. It is faith that pleases God, that receives answers to prayers and accesses the grace of God. It is faith which allows us to inherit the promises and receive the blessings. It is through faith that we can be healed, heal others and do the works of Jesus.

Continuing on the theme of prosperity. I've shown you so far that the Bible teaches that God has promised to prosper us. That God swore an oath to Abraham and that part of that promise was that he would give Abraham and his descendants power to get wealth. At this point some people say yes Greg but those promises have nothing to do with the Christian. So in these next two lessons I want to show you that the promises God made to Abraham and his descendants belong to us.

Changing your mindset is the second part of our discussion of Mindsets, The New Psychology of Success, by Stanford Professor Carol Dweck. How do we change our mindset? First we have to learn to recognize fixed mindset thoughts and then we have to replace them with growth mindset thoughts. These are my keynote slides with the audio attached.

En el antiguo testamento hay muchas promesas de prosperidad, pero hay unos que dicen que esas promesas son solo para los judíos. En este programa les quiero enseñar que las promesas del antiguo testamento son para el Cristiano también.

This is a message from a few Sundays back that I really liked. This is kind of an experiment. We took the audio from a Sunday service and matched it to the Keynote slides we used. I'm not sure how legible the slides will be on the internet.

In this episode we're still on the subject, God Wants You Rich, and we're looking specifically at Deuteronomy 8:18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day. The context of this scripture is that the Children of Israel are about to enter into the promised land. Moses describes what a great land it is, a land where they will not lack anything, where they will live in goodly houses and their gold and silver will multiply. He then warns them against thinking that it is through their efforts that they have become rich and as result turn away from God. But that they must remember it is God who has given them this power to become rich. A few points we should see from this scripture. - God is not against people being rich. He is so not against it that he gives them power to become rich. - God's idea of rich is: no lack, fine houses, gold and silver ...

Dios prometio bendecir Abraham. La Biblia nos dice que la bendición de Dios trae riquezas. Resulta que Abraham se hizo rico. Su hijo se hizo rico. Su nieto se hizo rico. Sus descendientes, el pueblo de Israel, se hicieron ricos. Hay unos que dicen que esas promesas solo son para los judíos no para los Cristianos. Aquí les quiero enseñar que esa promesa pertenece a los Cristianos también.

This is a funny news clip my son Jeremiah entered in a contest at slate. I don't think they even looked at it so here it is for all the world to see. I thought it was funny.

Dios juro a Abraham, Issac y Jacob darles poder para producir riquezas y este juramento nos pertenece a nosotros también.

This is the first episode in a new series, God Wants You Rich. In this program I briefly deal with the origin of the Christian idea that material things are bad, or that material things are not as important as spiritual things.
